Alternative legends They Might Be Giants perform last night on TBS’s ‘CONAN’ playing a track off their new album ‘I Like Fun’. The fresh song called
“I Left My Body” reminds you why this band has been able to do so many different styles withing the world of alt from doing albums specically meant for kids, to songs that play well as music videos for ‘Tiny Toon Adventures’ to holiday songs that talk about Santa Claus stealing your wife. Yes, these are all things that TMBG has done. Now they are doing song about forgetting your body when you are on a meta-physical journey out of your mortal coil? Yeah, they are pretty special.
If that was not enough delightfully weird musical adventure for you, they also ran the ‘Dial-a-Song’ phone service where you would call a number to hear an brand new song or potential demo that band was working on. It ran from 1983-2006, and came back in 2015 as an app and a website. You can still call it the old fashion way too. Call 844 387-6962.
If you are a fan of classic OG alternative from the 80’s, 90’s, or the 2000’s, well check out ALT_Backspace every Sunday morning 10a-12pm on 101WKQX with Brian.
TMBGs free @dailasong app awaits you. Super yes. For Apple objects https://t.co/7OyCwFWV4d For Droid objects https://t.co/xarFw5oKw0. Please share the good news! pic.twitter.com/3RdnLZ0YRT

Rise Against, Bush, and several other kick-butt rock bands are set to be a part of a very unique one-of-a-kind festival in Mansfield, Ohio at the historic Ohio State Reformatory.

Should marijuana be legal in Illinois? That question may end up on the November ballot. The State Senate voted 37-13 today to approve the following question:
“Shall the State of Illinois legalize the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, testing, and sale of marijuana and marijuana products for recreational use by adults 21 and older subject to state regulation, taxation and local ordinance?”
SB2275 is up on the floor, @SenCunningham‘s measure to put an advisory referenda on the ballot on the legalization of marijuana. It passes 37-13.

Now it goes to the Illinois House of Representatives. If the question does end up on the November ballot, the results aren’t considered binding. Instead, the question would serve as an “opinion poll.”
A similar question is already planned for Cook County voters on the March 20 primary election ballot.
The new “Avengers” movie was scheduled for release on May 4. Those plans have changed:
See you on opening weekend!
Jack White released another new track off the up coming “Boarding House Reach.” This is a track he has been trying to make work for a while. He tried versions with the White Stripes and The Raconteurs, but this is the first time he’s been able to get it the way he wanted it. Check out “Over and Over and Over.”

Lorde is hitting the road this week with the hottest rap duo to crossover to the alt universe in some time, Run the Jewels. To celebrate this merger of musical wonder, Killer Mike and EL-P released a remix of Lorde’s Melodrama track ‘Supercut’. The dark-tinged take on the 2017 song features RTJ adding a verse and laying on the mean side-eye glare vibe we all have when we look back at old pictures of our ex’s.
Here is a more intimate version of ‘Supercut’, Lorde performed for Vevo.
Chvrches continue the march to their new album ‘Love is Dead’ with the release today of a duet with Matt Berninger of the National called ‘My Enemy’. It lyrically continues the break-up vibes of the most recent track from the album ‘Get Out’ (you can hear that below) and it has this soft delivery but if you listen the two characters in this do not seem to feel the same way about each other anymore. So yeah if you got dumped around Valentine’s Day, well here’s your emo dance jams.
Check out the full track list for ‘Love is Dead’ here. No release date just yet, but we’ll share it as soon as it becomes available.
In the wake of the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, many businesses like major airlines and car rental companies are ending agreements with the National Rifle Association due to public demand, now that movement has made it way into music with Blink-182.
Blink’s Mark Hoppus announced on Twitter yesterday that they will no longer be working with shipping company Fed-Ex if the company continues it’s relationship with the NRA.
.@fedex has chosen to continue its business relationship with the NRA, despite its board member pushing conspiracies against children who survived Parkland. I've directed our representatives to stop using them, and encourage you to do the same. #BoycottFedEx
— snddoɥ ʞɹɐɯ (@markhoppus) February 27, 2018
.@FedEx very disappointed to learn you still work with the NRA, whose board member pushes conspiracy theories against children who endured a mass shooting. Please reconsider your position or we will take our business elsewhere.
— snddoɥ ʞɹɐɯ (@markhoppus) February 24, 2018
Hoppus made this proclamation on Tuesday, following Fed-Ex releasing a statement on Monday about how they were going to continue to work with the NRA despite public pressure to stop doing so. “FedEx has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs, or position on issues,” the shipping company said in a statement. Fed-Ex noted that the NRA was one of “hundreds of organizations” that are in their alliances/associate marketing program, and the shipping titan will not discriminate against them.
Even though Matt Forte spent his last two seasons in New York, the legendary running back has announced his immediate retirement from the NFL with a special note to Bears fans.
He leaves his mark with a total of 9,796 yards and 54 rushing touchdowns. Check out his interview on the subject HERE
“…to all Chicago Bears fans, you’re truly the best fans in all of professional sports. Thank you for embracing my family and me from day one! The roar of the crowd at Soldier Field as I’d break a run or make a big catch will forever be ingrained in my mind. The past 25 years playing America’s game have left me with unparalleled joy. But, it’s time for the workhorse to finally rest in his stable. While my heart is a bit heavy as I close this chapter of my life, I am excited about what the future holds. God Bless and Bear Down!”
Thank you for everything #22,
<3 @laurenoneil
We still don’t have a date, but Chvrches revealed that the title of the upcoming album will be ‘Love is Dead.’ They also hit us with the track list. Word is Matt Berninger of The National will appear on the album.

Showtime is planning a Stone Temple Pilots film. Kevin Sevener, a VP at the network, said ‘not a lot has been done about the band’ and that it will be ‘a compelling story.’ With STP’s history, that won’t be a hard promise to fulfill. From break ups, to side projects like Army of Anyone, to Chester Bennington taking over as the lead singer, the band has been through a lot. The fact that we lost both Chester and Scott Weiland and the band is still going with new lead singer Jeff Gutt is probably enough to fill a film on it’s own.
It sounds like Showtime is planning a few films like this that will focus on bands/music. See more at BroadcastingCable.com.
As for STP, they have their first album with Jeff Gutt behind the mic set for March 16th. Here’s one of the tracks from that album…
Fresh off the release of their new album and two shows in Chicago this weekend, alt dance duo MGMT perform their latest single ‘Me & Michael’ as well as their enduring hit ‘Electric Feel’ on the ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ on CBS last night.
The second performance was a special one as it featured John Batiste and Stay Human, and Colbert express his personal love for ‘Electric Feel’ stating it was song they would consistently play for the studio audience during commerical breaks. It was given a jazzy horn dusting from the Late Show band, and this live version really feels out the middle section of the song so much that really feels like a rousing hip-shaking conclusion at the end.
Sometimes American celebs feel off about endorsing a product in a commercial, or at least they feel reluctant do so on TV here in the States or in Europe. Enter Japan, where several popular actors like Nicolas Cage and Arnold Schwarzenegger have appeared in madcap spots selling soft drinks and other things we don’t get see here.
Good Mythical Morning’s Rhett and Link take on this trans-pacific pop culture conundrum, and they quiz each other on what might happen in these commercials with Britney Spears, Sylvester Stallone, Cage, Arnold, and more. It’s just eye-opening to see what these celebs do in these off-the-wall commercials. It’s all a head-spinner but you also have to appreciate the sense of humor and the unique way they pitch a product in these commercials.
It does remind me of that classic Simpsons episode where Homer finds his likeness is being used to sell laundry detergent called ‘Mr. Sparkle’.
A guy in Kansas City decided to take an ATV fro a ride on the highway, the wrong way, naked. NSFW!
