A literal sign from the heavens that Taylor Hawkins is a rad drummer. During his drum solo, a meteor was seen falling overhead at a Foo Fighters show in the Netherlands. The timing was perfect. Right as Hawkins momentarily paused at the end of a fill, the meteor’s vapor trail faded into the night sky and the rest of the band came back onto the stage as if it were planned. Maybe it was…
Hope they bring another galactic show to Wrigley Friend for their two shows next month, need tickets?

We just didn’t know it. I’m loving the 80s remixes of songs from the 2000s. DOn’t make me bust out my parachute pants from Chess King! -wALT
Aubrey Plaza looked soooo uncomfortable as Chris Pratt talked about poop:
Toni Cornell, the daughter of the late legendary Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell posted this moving cover of Prince’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’. It takes on a stunningly new feeling of heartbreak considering how Chris passed last year and how his loved ones now confront that grief. The song features both father and daughter performing the lovesick ballad together with Toni taking the lead. It is very moving to hear.
“Daddy, I love you and miss you so much. You were the best father anyone could ask for. Our relationship was so special, and you were always there for me. You gave me courage when I didn’t have any,” 13-year-old Toni Cornell wrote in the caption of the song, which was shared on Chris Cornell’s YouTube page.
In 2015, Chris visited our pre-Lounge performance space, Studio 7. Lauren hosted an intimate conversation and intimate acoustic session with Chris where performed some of his solo songs and Soundgarden classics.
You can listen to the entire session here.

Cold War Kids were on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night, and played “Can We Hang On?”
When you’re presented with a dinner receipt, the literal last thing you want to see on it is a note asking the cook to “please spit in it.”
And with that:
EXCLUSIVE: On a scorching hot summer night, what’s better than a cold brew? Pair it with a juicy burger.
Cheddar cheese, well done, toast bread, please spit in it too! Don’t forget the mayo! Wait… spit?! At 11pm we’ll tell you which beer garden and what the manager told us. pic.twitter.com/45FWLNsTvS— CeFaan Kim (@CeFaanKim) June 18, 2018
A restaurant-goer in Queens, New York told WABC he noticed the “extra” instructions when presented with the receipt. It came after a Father’s Day dinner at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria. The restaurant’s manager says it’s “very unlikely” the cook actually hocked a loogie into the burger, but still…

Steve Albini engineered recordings by Nirvana, Bush, PJ Harvey, the Breeders, Urge Overkill, Jawbreaker, Veruca Salt and Cheap Trick, to literally name a few. And now, he’s engineered a gambling win to be envious of. He won a World Series of Poker event in Las Vegas this weekend, beating over 300 players to take home a cash prize of $105K (and a WSOP bracelet).
Here he is, with his “Cocaine Piss” t-shirt and bracelet:

I love that you don’t understand fashion also. Let’s recap:
First it was the butt-less jeans…
Then the seams and pockets they are trying to call pants…
The knee-window jeans…
And the T-Shirt Shirt:
And the ‘Double Jeans’ Jeans:
Now thanks to a tip from @oxkidox, allow me to present “crotch-accentuating pants”
The only thing I see being accentuated is that you look like you are wearing a diaper.
If you REALLY want to look cool, paint some flames on that baby. Right, Peyton?
Thoughts? Tweet me: @laurenoneil
P.S. miss his commercials…
