For $350 you too can get a tantric sex session with David Joyner. The man who spent 10 years on TV in the Barney suit. Apparently Joyner has bee offering his services for a while. He even found some of his clients on Tinder. Check out a lot more at Vice.
Also, you might want to get rid of tinder before you end up on a date with Bert and Ernie. They can get freaky.
Shows on Jack White’s upcoming tour will be phone free. Jack’s hitting the road for his new album “Boarding House Reach.” The statement he released said “We think you’ll enjoy looking up from your gadgets for a little while and experience music and our shared love of it IN PERSON.” It shouldn’t really shock anyone that Jack is taking a stance on this. He’s been pretty outspoken at his shows if he sees someone with their phone out. How will they keep you from your phone during the performance? The Yondr pouch.
The statement said “Upon arrival at the venue, all phones and other photo or video-capturing gizmos will be secured in a Yondr pouch that will be unlocked at the end of the show. You keep your pouch-secured phone on you during the show and, if needed, can unlock your phone at any time in a designated Yondr Phone Zone located in the lobby or concourse. For those looking to do some social media postings, let us help you with that. Our official tour photographer will be posting photos and videos after the show at jackwhiteiii.com and the new Jack White Live Instagram account @officialjackwhitelive. Repost our photos & videos as much as you want and enjoy a phone-free, 100% human experience.”
There is no Chicago date on the tour just yet, but there is still plenty of time for him for figure out a way to make it though. His new album is out in March.
Jack Antonoff of Bleachers started The Ally Coalition whose purpose is to take action for LGBTQ equality.
“Through tours, special events, and online campaigns, we highlight systemic inequality and organizations supporting LGBTQ youth, and opportunities for fans to engage with these issues.”
Tonight is the 4th Annual Ally Coalition Talent Show, which is not your ordinary talent show. Hear him talk about it with Seth Myers last night:
Travis Barker is working on a new documentary that will include Mark Hoppus and even Tom DeLonge. Tom split from Blink182 a few years ago to chase aliens. No, really. Some people think he has even found some legit proof of extraterrestrials…
But, as for Travis’ doc, he says it will be an extension of his book “Can I Say.” And since the book is about his life it makes sense that both Tom and Mark would be a part of it. So, while all this info may not answer your questions about life on another planet, or if Tom will ever return to Bilk, it does explain what Tom was talking about when he posted this on Instagram in December.
Rub a dub dub, Pete Wentz was tweeting from a tub. The Fall Out Boy bassist took to social media yesterday to do a livestream Q&A with fans just days after band released their new album ‘M A N I A’ and announced a massive Wrigley Field show.
WIN FALL OUT BOY & RISE AGAINST @ WRIGLEY FIELD TICKETS THIS THURSDAY with TICKET BLITZ THURSDAY before they go on sale on Friday, January 26th.
Wentz did the internet hangout to fulfill a 2011 bet he made when Fall Out Boy were in the middle of what ended up being a five year hiatus (before returning with ‘Save Rock and Roll’), the bass player tweeted: ‘If I ever hit 3 million [Twitter] followers I’m gonna livestream a bubble bath and answer questions. Well, Wentz’s Twitter followers grew to 6.8 million so this well overdue. You can watch the whole thing below with Wentz fielding questions about the upcoming ‘M A N I A’ tour, how the album’s monster mascots could play into the tour, avoiding dropping a phone in the tub, and his favorite Chicago things.
Also Wentz’s kids don’t care about FOB. It’s a fun watch for any fan of the band.

Dashboard Confessional released another track from their upcoming album, “Crooked Shadows.” The albums is out on February, 9th. This one is called “Heart Beat Here.” The song’s been a part of Dashboard’s live show for a while, so it may sound familiar if you’ve seen them recently.
Pennies are basically useless at this point . . . if you have one in your house, it almost counts as “clutter” more than it counts as “money.” But DAMN, we’ll still stop in our tracks if we see one.
According to a new survey, 56% of Americans say they’ll stop to pick up a penny if they see one on the street.
And it doesn’t even matter how much money you make. People who make over $80,000-a-year are just a tiny bit less likely to stop for a penny than people who make less than $40,000.
Now . . . SOME of us have higher standards.
11% of people say they’ll only stop for a nickel . . . 6% for a dime . . . 14% for a quarter . . . and 6% won’t stop to pick up ANY coin in the street.
6% won’t stop to pick up ANY coin, not even a quarter.
Millions of Americans keep their money a secret from their partner. One in five people in a live-in relationship admit to “financial infidelity,” keeping a private bank account or credit card, according to a study.
The survey found 31 percent of millennials, 24 percent of people ages 38 to 53 and 17 percent of baby boomers have at some point had an account they keep secret from a partner.
On the other side of the coin (pun intended) 31 percent of those in a relationship think that keeping a credit card, checking account or savings account secret from a partner is worse than cheating physically. More HERE
But what if they are buying you lots of cool stuff with the secret money, still a problem?
Watch BIlly Corgan talks up the Pumpkins accoustic tour on 101WKQX in Feb 2016
For more than a year now, the rumors and rumblings of the original lineup of Chicago’s own Smashing Pumpkins reuniting have persisted, reaching another fan-fevered pitch last week when Billy Corgan posted this pic of James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin with in a recording studio. So what is the role of bassist D’Arcy Wretzky in this OG Pumpkins good time get-back-together?
Issuing a statement via text to the music blog Blast Echo, the elusive Wretzky says “My apologies to all of the Smashing Pumpkins fans out there who are excited about this oncoming reunion tour of the original members of the band. I know this is a huge disappointment for me, as well, but it’s not going to happen [with me] I only just found about yesterday that the band has decided to go with a different bass player.”
In the same article, Wretzky shared that the band is prepping for a summer tour in July with a different bassist featuring front-man Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha, and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. This assemblage of Pumpkins has performed together sporadically over the last few years including a show in Los Angeles where Iha made a surprise cameo. None of this 2018 tour info has been confirmed by Corgan or anyone else associated with the band at this time.
Alternative Nation has reported that Corgan, Iha, and Chamberlin have been working towards a ‘very special occasion’ a few weeks ago in Los Angeles.
Corgan has been active recently with a Rick Rubin produced solo album ‘Ogilala’ and producing the oldest pro wrestling promotion in the world, National Wrestling Alliance. To be clear, Corgan has kept the Smashing Pumpkins alive with other talented musicians, and Chamberlin has been involved here and there since the 2005 reactivation. All four original members of the Pumpkins have not played together since 1999.
Now we can all dream about those rumors of a My Chemical Romance reunion, but there is no serious signs just yet that it’s going to happen. The news we can confirm with MCR is they posted a new crop of never-before-seen outtakes on their Youtube in the last week. The videos are from some of their classic music videos plus the full 2008 concert movie The Black Parade Is Dead, which was recorded at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City in 2007 – the band’s final performance as The Black Parade.
You can see all of it below and pine for Gerard Way and company returning to the stage.
