Have a concert or event you can’t or don’t want to attend. You have a new option, ChameleonMask. A person straps a crazy virtual reality headset/tablet device to there head and you get to virtually experience the event. If this is confusing you, you’re not alone. Here’s how the ChamelonMask site breaks it down.
“ChameleonMask is a telepresence system that displays a remote user’s face on another user’s face. By wearing the mask, we can be someone else and also someone can be our surrogates. The remote user can not only communicate with people who are not in the same place but also communicate physically by making direction such as body gesture with surrogate’s limbs.”
“Human Uber,” developed in Japan, provides a way to attend events remotely using another person’s body. “It’s surprisingly natural” says its inventor, Jin Rekimoto of Sony #emtechasia pic.twitter.com/WZHPVcZ6M0

As strange as this seems, I think one of the more useful reasons to have something like this is for people who experience anxiety in crowds or have some other issues with going out in public. This could be a way to help them enjoy events. NYMag.
Yay, science!
NASA’s funded a study at Penn State that looked into how liquid and solid waste can be turned into food for astronauts. After all, taking groceries on a rocket is expensive and takes up storage space.
The process to convert poop into food hasn’t been tested yet, but based on USA Today‘s report, perhaps it’s not that far off. Suddenly, Tang sounds like the most delicious thing ever.
Wow. They could not have come up with a category that these people know lees about.

The most seen-television event of the year is almost always ‘THE BIG GAME’, which has evolved to be more than just the NFL championship showdown. It features a flurry of multi-million dollar ads that we all just with instantaneous reactions, and the halftime show. The most-seen live music performance on TV all year is likely thos 20 minutes or so that fall in the halftime show which has in the past featured a whose who in music from U2 to Bruce Springsteen to Michael Jackson.
Last year, Pop queen Lady Gaga got positive reviews for her over-the-top performance, and this Sunday another favorite of the Top 40 crowd, Justin Timberlake will get the sought-after spot. So what about our beloved alternative bands getting that blockbuster booking? It’s pretty unlikely to see a band who can kill it in a headlining slot at Lollapalooza, some of their adventurous vibes maybe too much for the “just watching for the commercials” audience.
Just for the fun of it, here are 5 bands you’ve heard on 101WKQX that truly ready for the ‘Big Game’. And remember this is just hypothetical, so calm down if you think this is ridiculous, that’s kind of the idea.
THE FOO FIGTHERS
If ever there was a rock band who could break down any door of ‘They Can’t Do that’, the Foo Fighters have done it. They recorded album and music documentary series for HBO in ‘Sonic Highways’. They are returning huge live audiences this summer with 2 night residency at Wrigley Field in July, their second visit to the Friendly Confines. Dave Grohl has been able to show off the larger-than-life personality in countless TV appearances to have that charisma that leaps off the screen, and oh yeah, his band is still kicking rumps to make him bump.
THE KILLERS
These Lollapalooza headliners recently played the halftime show at Australia’s rugby Super Bowl equivalent, the AFL Grand Final with great reviews. They have the songs that drip Americana as Bruce Springsteen for the 2000s generation and they know how to bring the swagger that is on level with an end-zone touchdown celebration. Have you heard ‘the Man’?!
During their AFL week, the Nevada band also played a premiere party show in Melbourne. You can watch that here.
GREEN DAY
They played to rafters at Wrigley Field last fall with a spectacular fireworks finish, not bad for punk band from East Bay right? They are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers who continue to push their creative limits while also stocking a deep path of hit songs that would play to people who are clicking over from the Puppy Bowl. Billie Joe Armstrong and the boys could really surprise the world with this.
Watch 101WKQX’s exclusive ‘press conference’ with Green Day when they were in town in October 2017.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
The Chili Peppers did get to take part in a halftime show with Grammy-winner Bruno Mars in 2014 with “Give It Away’ being segued into Mar’s soul powered performance. The only issue is bassist Flea and guitarist Josh Klingoffer were unplugged during the performance causing speculation to mainstream audience, but we all know they bring the funk. It would be special to see the Kings of songs with references to California to get vindicated and bump it out at the Bowl.
If you thought Janet Jackson had a controversial wardrobe malfunction.just imagine the Peppers bringing back their ‘socks only’ encore for that TV audience? Yeah. maybe that’s not happening.
Matt Bellamy from Muse live backstage at Lolla! #101WKQXLolla
Posted by 101 WKQX on Thursday, August 3, 2017
MUSE
This progressive British trio may be a long shot, but Muse is no stranger to stadium shows as they have played them all over the world with visual extravagant stage effects to deliver eye candy on top of their sci-fi themed anthems. They put this large production to tape on the 2013 live album, ‘Live at Rome Olympic Stadium’. A band who feels they are Star Wars version of a rock act deserves all the attention we could give them.

“Dookie” turns 24 today. It was 1994 when Green Day released their third album. They have a pretty amazing story to tell from club shows to being inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They stopped by the Lounge before their Wrigley Field show last year to answer questions about their 30 plus years as a band.
X Ambassadors have a new album on the way. We should see it this spring. But, the band has released five tracks new tracks now. “Hoping”, ‘Torches’, ‘The Devil You Know’, ‘Ahead of Myself’ and now ‘Joyful.’ This is also expected to be the albums title track. You can check out all of the tracks below.
Stone Temple Pilots have announced their first album since adding singer Jeff Gutt. The self titled LP will be be out on March, 16th. They have 12 new track in all including “Roll Me Under.”
As for tour dates, they are hitting the road. Nothing planned for Chicago yet. Looks like the closest they’ll be for now is Peoria. You can check out more at Rolling Stone.

Foo Fighters and Weezer?! Yes, please! The Foos continued the first leg of their ‘Concrete & Gold’ World Tour in Australia which has already had some eventful moments with fans on stage, but this just felt like chocolate and peanut butter coming together, it was that good. Cuomo with his ever-present nerdy charm says he’s “ready to rock” before they whale into a rousing cover of KISS’s ‘Detroit Rock City’.
Weezer and the Foos have toured before, so it’s fun to see them pair up to make special moments like this on shows that are already epic.Dave Grohl and company are always down for big collabs in the live setting which was a highlight of their historic Lollapalooza after show this past summer at the Metro, when they had Janes Addiction’s Perry Farrell deliver on ‘Mountain Song’.

It is that dreaded moment in every phone user’s life.
The moment you realize your device is about to die…and you didn’t think ahead enough to charge it or bring a cord with you.
Now, you don’t have to suffer alone.
“Die With Me” is a new chat app that only works when you have 5% or less remaining in on your phone’s battery. So now you can chat it out with fellow procrastinators while enjoying the last few minutes of being connected to the world.

Disco Dog is something to answers the age-old question: How do I let know the wolrd know my dog is ‘party animal’ that I know it to be? Enter ‘Disco Dog’ this genius throw over jacket that utilizes LED lights to give your pup the glow to light up a stroll. It has thousands of combinations, and you can even have it flash ‘Hello’ all through control over an app on your phone. The device can also be used to create alerts for passerby if your dog gets loose.
Yes, we know these have been around a while but COME ON, HOW CUTE IS THAT?! Hence, this post which acknowledges said cuteness in all of it’s undeniable glory.
Am I only the person who gets physically weak in the prescience of an adorable dachshund ? Well, this is going to have me falling on me knees in public pretty soon.
WE ARE NUMBER 1 for “having it all”! What that means is that 100% clear, but Time Out says we are got all the things people want in a city and they got the data from their research that declares we are indeed the bee’s knees, the top of the pops, etc. etc…
You know that feeling you get when something you’ve always known is backed up by numbers and facts? We firmly believe that Chicago is the absolute best place to live, but now we have the receipts to prove it. For the second time in a row, Chicago was ranked the best city for having it all through Time Out’s extensive City Life Index. We surveyed 15,000 people in 32 cities—from Austin to Hong Kong to Tel Aviv—and asked in-depth questions about sex, dining, neighborhoods, affordability, happiness and so much more. Each city was then scored across those facets to reveal the winner. It only makes sense that Chicago took the No. 1 spot. – Read the entire article here.
So we have exciting areas, great food, and apparently people get it on here. Ok, we knew all that but it’s nice to see that other people around the country and the world also recognize Chicago’s collective awesomeness.
Here is the full list of other cities ranked for ‘having it all’.
1. Chicago
2. Porto
3. New York
4. Melbourne
5. London
6. Madrid
7. Manchester
8. Lisbon
9. Philadelphia
10. Barcelona
