Weezer fresh off releasing their new chill vibes album ‘Pacific Daydream’ on Friday, performed last night on the ‘Late Show’ with Stephen Colbert. This new album has such a soulful relaxed vibe, and this live version of ‘Happy Hour’ really cements that here. Also check out Rivers Cuomo rocking the cardigan like he did in ‘Blue Album’ era music videos, that’s a sweater I do not want to destroy while holding a thread as he walks away.
Aracde Fire are performing in the round on their current arena tour which brought them to the United Center last night. This situation can create some production challenges. so how do you get the band on stage while generating hype? Well why not make the stage into a pro wrestling/boxing ring and have the band walk out like they are going into a big title fight!
It’s funny to hear to all the fictional awards mentioned during their introduction like their Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Award.
The stage/ring is a really striking and engaging idea for a live show. I’d love to get that ring for a pic!
Who knew the “T” and “A” in CTA really stands for T & A?! City Hall wants to make bus riding ‘sexy’ to reverse “eroding” ridership tied to ride-hailing. I mean, nothing gets me all hot and ready to ride the bus like the usual stink of urine and stale Cheetos… but maybe they could start by hosing the buses down? Or telling them they are beautiful and look great in those tires? GTFO
Dave Grohl is hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Rolling Stone had this quote, “As a precautionary measure, the scheduled second heart surgery for Jimmy Kimmel’s son Billy had to be postponed this week due to the common cold,” Kimmel’s rep went on to say “Jimmy is very grateful to Shaquille O’Neal, Dave Grohl, Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence for filling his very small shoes as guest host this week while he, his wife and children sneeze on each other.” Dave on ABC tonight at 10:35.
Whoever runs the Twitter @Hopperdancingto is a clever little devil as they have edited the surly and protective Sheriff Hopper from the hit Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’, into a dancing clips with music that was never meant to accompany his dad-dancing-at-a-wedding moves. The results have been quite hilarious, and you can see more Hopper’s out-of-place hip swivels to jams from Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and Smash Mouth.
If you’re tired of the same-old-same-old when it comes to canine Halloween costumes, get ready for something that just screams originality – and cuteness. The town of Covington, Kentucky recently held its annual Mainstrasse Paw-Rade, a big street party that lets dogs dress up and strut their stuff, and a Hungarian puli participant named Keki ended up stealing the show.

Jake Moreno is a 22-year-old student at Salt Lake Community College in Utah. Last week, he asked his philosophy of religion professor, Shannon Atkinson, to help him draft a text message to a girl he wanted to take out on a date.
If you live in Chicago and you’re on Facebook, you’ve seen it. Probably several times a day. By “it,” we mean the Bean meme phenomenon, which has spurred literally dozens of joke (we hope) “events” at Millennium Park’s public-art showpiece. Cornball, non-sequitur examples, like Have a tall boy with the bean at Coles and—perhaps the king of them all—Windex the Bean, have thousands of RSVPs and “interested” clicks. But given that Internet culture finds nothing so hilarious as committedly actualizing its most tossed-off throwaway gags, we wondered, could any of these happen? And if so, could any actually be worth visiting? As it happens, a few of them wouldn’t be such a bad way to kill a few minutes. Here are five highlights: (MORE HERE)
Don’t need to rename it, and we wouldn’t want to leave the bespoke eyeballs on for eternity, but temporarily anthropomorphizing the big fella—and inverting that relentless tourist gaze!—seems like a good time, as long as we could guarantee no structural damage. One to keep in mind for the next installment of the Year of Public Art.
In 2012 Conan launched ridiculous objects over Chicago’s legendary State Street Bridge. One of those objects was a replica of The Bean. (WATCH BELOW)
On one hand, binge-watching television affects the duration and quality of your sleep, increases your waistline & puts you at higher risk of dementia from laying around on the couch. It even reduces enjoyment of your program because you don’t retain the storyline or details.
