Moon Taxi is one of those bands whose music makes my heart happy.
This song makes me smile so big, and they killed it on Kimmel. Watch ‘Two High’
And ‘Not Too Late’
They were so great in our Lounge back in October, here’s the full session:
It’s National Pi Day
It’s 3/14… National Pi Day (because Pi starts with 3.14).
And because the world isn’t ready to exclusively celebrate math, Pi Day has also become a celebration of pizza. On that note, there are a lot of pizza chains offering discounts today.
A new survey says 55% of Americans will celebrate Pi Day today, and 43% will celebrate by eating actual pie, pizza or some other form of circular food. So with that, we hope you enjoy your circular food of choice. Key lime pie is sounding delicious right around now.

VIDEO: Rivers Cuomo Performs Covers of Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, and More
Rivers Cuomo played an intimate solo accoustic show at The Hi Hat in Los Angeles this past Saturday where perform a set of 90’s alternative classics with a few Weezer tunes. Cuomo performed emotive versions of songs from REM, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Pixies. It’s worth noting he performed his own version of AJR’s ‘Sober Up, which is a song he has a featured part on in the version you have heard on 101WKQX. Watch the whole special show below.
This is another reminder of how brilliant Rivers is as a musician, especially when you see him putting his own spin on songs by other artists with their own distinct sounds.
Thanks to our buds, X105KC for turning us on to this, and a special thanks to the Youtuber who filmed the whole thing.

‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Reboot In The Works
We live in the era of it was a thing, a thing we liked or loved, it will be rebooted.
Variety is reporting today that the cult show which just celebrated it’s 21st anniversary, is set for a potential reboot at FOX TV.
I think if you look in our library, ‘Buffy’ is probably the most ripe show we have for bringing back,” said Fox TV group chair Gary Newman at the INTV Conference in Jerusalem. But he acknowledged that he “wouldn’t get out of the building alive” if he actually announced it.
“It’s something we talk about frequently, and Joss Whedon is really one of the greatest creators we ever worked with,” he said. “When Joss decides it’s time, we’ll do it. And until Joss decides it’s time, it won’t happen.”
Yes, Whedon who went on to have massive success off the small screen with Marvel’s The Avengers series, is a critical piece to making this prospective comeback important.
The star of the original TV series Sarah Michelle Gellar posted on Instagram to remmber the show on ‘Buffy Slay Day’ with some behind the scenes photos. The cast of the show did reunite last year for a special retrospective by EW, check that out here.
Nicolas Cage IS Superman
Way back before comic book movies came out every week… like, 1990s way back, Tim Burton had a plan to put Nicolas Cage in the starring role of a Superman movie. The movie never got off the ground (so to speak), and Cage’s dream of wearing red underpants over his tights never became reality.
That all (kinda) changes this summer, as Cage has been announced to voice the part of Superman in the upcoming animated movie “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies.” It’s not quite the same thing, but the animated Titans are kind of amazing.

Chicago makes ‘diverse food scene’ list
A new study figured out which cities have the most diverse types of restaurants (and no, having a T.G.I. Friday’s, a Chili’s, and an Applebee’s doesn’t count).
Website Bott and Co. analyzed Google Maps to figure out which cities around the world had the most restaurants representing the food from different countries. Chicago came in fourth, confirming what we already knew: The food scene here is amazing.
Here’s the specific breakdown for Chicago. Looks like it’s time to start making a list and digging deeper into the city’s food scene…

‘Disaster Artist’ Tommy Wiseau ‘auditions’ to play the Joker
This is the best/worst thing we’ve seen all week. The man behind the worst movie ever, “The Room,” shows his chops as he campaigns to play iconic Batman “big bad” the Joker. There’s so much nope here it’s practically a yep.

Gorillaz Get “The Simpsons” Steamed Hams Treatment
Oh no, I said “steamed hams!” Its a pretty classic moment from The Simpsons, and you might have seen its rebirth this year in a meme explosion about the famous Chalmers-coming-to-dinner sketch.

Josh Homme Hangs on Scaffolding to Watch Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl and Josh Homme go back almost as long as the music itself…(Dave of course drummed on the Queens Of The Stone Age album Songs For The Deaf)…so you would think for as many times as Josh has seen his buddy’s band, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, right?
During an stop in Argentina, look where the QOTSA singer perched himself to check out the Foo Fighters’ set:
What we do for the love of music. For the record, no injuries…and no stage dives. — [eric]
