Outrageous ways Chicagoans prepare for winter

(from timeout.com)

As frigid temperatures move through Chicago, swimsuits and sandals are banished to storage and puffy parkas are officially back in season. As someone once said, winter is coming—or judging by the wind chill this week, it’s already here. We can’t help but notice the strange yet totally necessary lengths Chicagoans go to in order to prepare for winter. Let’s bundle up and get weird! (MORE HERE)

1. Set up a recurring Amazon order of hand warmers—you can never have too many, right?

2. Keep a map of the Chicago Pedway handy at all times.

3. Stock up on your lip balm of choice.

4. Invest in a SAD lamp.

5. Cut spending in every other area of life to accommodate impending energy bills.

Watch Chris Cornell’s daughter Lily deliver a moving Jeff Buckley cover

@lily.silver is insanely talented. #Spilver #sincebirth

A post shared by Callan Spafford (@callan_spafford) on

This moving video of late Soudgarden singer Chris Cornell ‘s daugheter Lily has surfaced today, in it she performs a cover of Jeff Buckley’s “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over”. She has quite the voice.

In 2013, Chris performed in our pre-Lounge room, Studio 7 and gave us these special recordings that we can share with you. 

Stone Temple Pilots set to return with a new singer

Stone Temple Pilots have been through a lot of hard times in the last few years, with the death of their original singer Scott Weiland in 2015 and the recent passing of their second singer Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington but the band is set up to return on November 14th at the Troubador in Los Angeles, California. The remaining members have been mum on who their new singer could be, and keeping the secrete even more close to the chest, this big comeback show is also an invitation-only event. So who is the new mystery singer? Thanks to Consequences of Sound for the scoop. 

Speaking to Rolling Stone last month, bassist Robert DeLeo teased what’s to come with this yet-to-be-revealed singer  “We’ve been working with someone – I don’t want to name names yet – and we’re making music. I don’t know if he’s well-known or unknown; I don’t look at him as ‘well-known.’ But we’re writing music and we’re hopefully looking at finishing a record and putting it out soon.”

Weiland was dismissed from STP in 2013, with Bennington stepping in before leaving amicably citing the challenges of the balancing act of performing in STP, Linkin Park, and being with his family. STP recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Core.

WATCH: Jeff Goldblum rates Jeff Goldblum tattoos

(from avclub.com)

Like Bill Murray before him, Jeff Goldblum is as much meme as he is man. So distinctive is his personality and cadence, the actor’s every word is met with rapture by his adoring fanbase, making him more suited than most to moonlight as a jazz musician, commandeer a food truck called Chef Goldblum’s Jazzy Snags, or give a 15-minute speech about his own career that somehow isn’t insufferable.
