Just after releasing a new Panic! At The Disco single yesterday (you can listen to that here), Brendon Urie made a surprise appearance last night on ‘the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon’ where in segment where viewers suggest random things to do on the show. Well, it’s pretty darn random to summon Urie to sing the theme song of the Disney animated series, ‘Ducktales’.

And of course, Panic got to play their brand spanking-new single ‘Say Amen (Saturday Night)’ which featured their new bassist Nicole Row making her first televised performance with the band. Their new album ‘Pray For The Wicked’ comes out June 22nd and they play the United Center on July 17th.

Disney Building Marvel Themed Lands For Disneyland

We saw this coming, but it’s still great to hear about it. Disney announced yesterday their plans to build Marvel themed lands within their Disneyland theme parks in California, Paris, and Hong Kong in the next few years. The Marvel land will open in Disney’s California Adventure next to the Gurdians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout ride in 2020.

There is no clear indication of which specific heroes will be utilized but it seems like if you enjoy the big cast of costumed crime fighters in the Avengers film series, than you will be happy with these attractions.

‘Hey, Siri… read my hidden WhatsApp messages.’

Privacy is a lost art.

If you’re an iPhone owner, you can hide message notifications from displaying on the Lock screen. The process is simple: Go to Settings > Notifications, select the app to hide, choose Previews and then select your option.

…and this is generally a good practice. You probably don’t want your Signal messages popping up while you’re sitting at dinner with friends. And yet, Brazilian website Mac Magazine reports (translated by 9to5mac) that anyone can access third-party hidden message notifications on an iPhone simply by asking Siri to read them. Note this is only for non-Apple apps (Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.) It won’t work with Apple’s Messages app. Siri keeps her mouth shut on those unless the phone’s unlocked.

This bug is found in iOS 11.2.6 and 11.3. Mac Magazine’s reported it to Apple.

Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Already Breaking Records

Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has already been a box office success and it’s not even in theaters yet. Businesswire reported today the massive superhero team-up has already surpassed other anticipated movies in advance ticket sales.

Advance Ticket Sales After 72 Hours:
257.6% ahead of BLACK PANTHER
715.5% ahead of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
1106.5% ahead of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

“The incredible advance ticket sales success we’re seeing with Avengers: Infinity War is another example of consumers giving evidence that they will come out to movie theatres in huge numbers when Hollywood makes movies they want to see,” Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC told BusinessWire. “Just like we saw with Black PantherJumanjithe Greatest Showman, and so many others, movie fans are buying their tickets in advance, they’re buying in premium formats, they’re buying to reserve their seats, and they’re doing so in massive, record-breaking numbers.”

‘Infinity War’ hits theaters on April 27th.

If you have not seen it yet, here is the trailer.

The “tears of joy” emoji is having a rough time these days. Emojipedia (it’s a thing) says the number of people using the “tears of joy” emoji has freefallen since early ’17. It used to be the most popular one, but apparently we’re not laughing so hard we burst into tears anymore.

Will you marry me? Sure. Mind if I drill the ring right into my finger?

Forget traditional engagement rings. A new trend’s developed that finds people embedding a diamond directly into their ring finger. It’s not your typical piercing; the owner of NYC Ink Studio in New York tells WCBS, “You’re going to feel it… It is a little bit painful.”

Healing can take up to 20 weeks. And be sure you’re totally committed to your significant other… getting the diamonds removed hurts way more than putting them in.

Bacon Is Going To Kill You; $2 Bacon vs $100 Bacon

According to a report today from the Guardian, the candy of meats Bacon is as bad for you as a cigarettes. Really? Does everything I want to eat HAVE to be bad for me?

The World Health Organization has even joined in on this sad parade with 2015 study they issued which says bacon and other processed meats could cause cancer. “The WHO advised that consuming 50g of processed meat a day – equivalent to just a couple of rashers of bacon or one hotdog – would raise the risk of getting bowel cancer by 18% over a lifetime,” the Guardian writes.

This is just a bummer.

 

Coffee drinking has gone through the roof

 

According to a new study, American coffee drinking is skyrocketing.  64% of adults say they now drink a cup every day.  Compare that to the mid-90s, when it was under 50%.

 

79% of those people usually drink their cup of coffee at home or work . . . 36% have it at a coffee shop or restaurant.  And yeah, there’s overlap there, because there are plenty of people doing both.

Watch The Killers Cover Oasis ‘Wonderwall’

The Killers nailed a stirring cover of Oasis’s ‘Wonderwall’ this past weekend when they headlined Lollapalooza Chile, and it was quite the moment. “Before I sing this song, I would first like to say that Liam Gallagher is my king—he’s one of my kings. This is in no way meant to disparage anything that he did.” said Brandon Flowers.

The song was dedicated to Gallagher according to NME, due to him being forced to cut his own set at the festival short because of a severe chest infection. Now Gallagher cut his Lolla set here in Chicago short for reasons, that we are still trying to figure out. More on that here. 

Kudos to the Killers who have done this wondeful gesture in the past when another beloved band gets taken off stage at a fest due to uncontrollable circumstances. Last year’s Lolla in Chicago, the dusty sons of Nevada gave Muse fan’s a treat with this cover after the UK band was forced off stage the previous night by a storm. Watch that here.

 

Vote Chicago!

Tomorrow is a big day!  The Illinois Primary is here, and you may have some questions.  Like… where do I go to cast my ballot?  Am I registered?  Can I review my sample ballot?

The answers to those and more lie at Chicagoelections.com.

YOU CAN REGISTER TO VOTE AT YOUR PRECINCT POLLING PLACE TODAY!!  Make sure you have two forms of ID, one with your current address.

The potential winner may be notified by email and/or telephone call after the date of random drawing and/or winner determination. The potential winner will be required to sign and return to Station, within three (3) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) in order to claim his/her prize, if applicable.  A winner who returns the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release will be deemed to have accepted the contest prize and thereafter will not be permitted to rescind their acceptance of the prize and/or return the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.    
  3. Grand Prize. Ten (10) Grand Prizes will be awarded in this Contest.  Each Grand Prize is two (2) passes to see Wolf Alice in the Lounge perform on Friday, March 30, 2018 at the Station’s studios, 455 N. CityFront Plaza, Chicago, IL 60611. Winner is responsible for all taxes associated with prize receipt and/or use.  Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on a number of factors including the number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period and listeners participating at any given time.

There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, at its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash.  The prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) listed above and do not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses.  Any tickets and/or gift certificates/cards awarded as part of a prize will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the issuer and are valid only on the date(s) printed on the tickets or gift certificates/cards.  Other restrictions may apply.

  4. General Conditions. Station reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Contest, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Station’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by Station in its sole discretion. Station reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Station reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Station’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
  5. Limitations of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Station, entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Contest; (2) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Contest; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In event that a production, technical, programming or other error causes more than stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be claimed, Station reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
  6. Entrant agrees that: (i) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (ii) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved exclusively by the United States District Court or the appropriate state court located in the Station’s listening area; (iii) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Contest, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (iv) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.
