Pearl Jam’s Wrigley Documentary Hits Theaters NOW
In addition to the soundtrack dropping today, Let’s Play Two is now showing in select theaters. But it won’t last forever — scroll to the bottom for dates/locations.
This documentary is perfect for Chicago. (The parts of the city that embrace the Cubs, that is.) The movie plays as a love story between Eddie Vedder & the Cubs…part recap of the magical run to the World Series title and part kickass concert footage from their two historical performances at Wrigley last year.
Fan club members of Pearl Jam got to hit up the Metro for the last couple of nights…and now it settles in for a week long run at Arclight in Chicago. After that, it makes a limited appearance in suburban theaters. Hit it up for the movie theatre experience…or wait until November to take it home. — [eric]

While appearing on Marc Maronâs WTF podcast earlier this month, Lorde confessed her love for the work of Phil Collins. âMy favorite pop males are the guys that sound like a combination of your boyfriend and your dad,â she said before singing a few bars of âTake Me Homeâ. âThatâs Phil.â That discussion must have primed the pop star for her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge appearance earlier this morning, because she knew right away what song sheâd be covering: Collinsâ classic âIn the Air Tonightâ.

Watch The Killers “Mr. Brightside’ performed as if it was live sports
The Killers are truly an international sensation something that evident here locally when the Nevada based band headlined Lollapalooza. Every person I met at the fest that was from another country for Lolla, almost everyone of them mentioned they were there for Brandon Flowers and company. That global appeal continued in this viral hit from Austraila, where the band is set to provide the pre-show for the Australia Football League Grand Final this Saturday. It’s the Ausssie’s equivalent to the Super Bowl that is the championship game for Aussie rules football.
Australia’s love for the Killers produced this viral hit with sports host Gerard Whateley during a radio appearance, read the lyrics to ‘Mr. Brightside’ as if it was a sport with player charging to score a goal. It’s really striking to see the song about emotional distress over a relationship
.@GerardWhateley is ready to step in for @thekillers if they can't make the @AFL Grand Final. Watching him commentate 'Mr Brightside' is đŻ pic.twitter.com/o0hWWdhJPZ

(Photo from Riot Fest 2017:Â Julia Simone Paul)
According to BlabberMouth.net PROPHETS OF RAGE guitarist Tom Morello revealed in an interview with Music Feeds that he and late singer Chris Cornell â with whom Morello recorded and toured in AUDIOSLAVE â had discussed an innovative way to stage a reunion of the latter band before Cornell died last May. The idea came up after AUDIOSLAVE reunited for a brief three-song set last January, with Morello explaining: “We started talking about maybe doing some sort of similar thing where maybe it would be a PROPHETS OF RAGE show and then we would drop an AUDIOSLAVE set into the middle of it, and weâd have a ball.” (MORE HERE)

Was September 1991 the best month ever for albums?
(from bbc.co.uk)
