Josh from Greta Van Fleet calls Tim Virgin to make the unfortunate announcement that drummer Danny Wagner sustained an injury that will cause the band to miss this year’s PIQNIQ.
Steve Soto, founding member of The Adolescents, Agent Orange, Manic Hispanic, Joyride and many other bands passed away in his sleep last night. He was 54. The cause of death was not immediately known, Soto had just completed a tour with The Adolescents in Boston last Sunday and was in the process of finalizing and releasing the band’s latest album, Crop Duster.
Longtime friend and collaborator Greg Antista, confirmed the news delivered from Soto’s family via Facebook around 11 last night:
“I’m sorry to break such bad news in such an impersonal way but the family of Steve Soto would like everyone to know that he passed peacefully in his sleep today, I’m sure this is a terrible blow to all of you. He will be missed. We will be posting details on a memorial as plans are finalized.”

They have been missing off store shelves for more than 12 years. The round orange delectable snack is back and will be sold for a limited time for only $2 at Walmart and Amazon beginning July 1. According to a the company, fans have been petitioning Planters online through Facebook groups and forums to bring the addictive food back since they were discontinued in 2006.
The company will roll out Cheez Balls online only to Amazon and Walmart.com initially, but are planning to expand to other retailers and brick-and-mortar stores in future months. You can also purchase the delicious spheres at planters website.

Ever wonder why the Marvel movies lack LGBTQ presence? Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige says that’s about to change.
When asked by entertainment site The Playlist when we’ll finally see LGBTQ characters in Marvel movies, Feige said they’re coming. In fact, we’ve already met at least one; Feige says the characters are “both ones you’ve seen and ones you haven’t seen.”
SHARKS ARE EVIL! Unrelenting powerfully evil!
This video which X105KC, turned us onto is from the New York Post and it reminds you that Sharks get their own week on Discovery Channel out of fear and respect, not because they are cute.
This fishing group wrangled a Bull Shark but what happened next may shock you. It is not for the faint of heart and it is bloody.
The Spider-Man sequel has a name. Actor Tom Holland dropped the name (Spider-Man: Far From Home) in this Instagram post:
I was doing a lot of road tripping this week.
During my travels, I heard a great discussion with Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons.
I learned in his younger days, Reynolds witnessed some of his fellow Mormons struggling with their sexuality — and had some regrets about not being more of an ally then. Still involved with the church, he is advocating for acceptance of the LGBTQ community. He seemed to feel a bit irregular that he — as a heterosexual, white male — was the one making this push. But the show host brushed that notion off, saying that it is of vital importance for straight supporters to take up the fight for inclusion, too. As an straight ally of the LGBTQ community, I agree.
Tomorrow (6/25), a documentary capturing a bit of that push is debuting on HBO — called Believer. Here is the trailer. — [eric]

Weezer’s cover of “Africa.” It’s amazing that one girl’s Tweet has led to….this.
Now you can own this snazzy looking piece of commemorative Weezer merch — and at the same time, you will be charitable. All proceed of this tee are being donated to Roots Ethiopia, “a non-profit organization that improves schools, enables livelihoods educates children and serves special needs students in the SNNPR Ethiopia.”
Now, I present a non-exhaustive and completely subjective list of Top 10 “Alt” Themed Tees. Feel free to share your own favs on Facebook/Twitter. — [eric]

A place where a kid could be a kid is no longer. As many of us know, Toys ‘R Us is no more. The store which was a massive part of our childhood has been forced out of business after years in decline. Watch this in-depth documentary from Bright Sun Films looking into the company’s rise and fall. It highlights how the stores became obsolete with bad business moves and changing times.
BSF takes on a touching take showing the stores that have closed and what they look like now.
Also what about this emotional cover of that Toys ‘R Us jingle? Yeah, that’s hair-raising on your arms.
