In case you missed it, here’s my chat with Jeremy and Richard from Arcade Fire before they closed out Lollapalooza last weekend…and we learn sugar is not an appropriate way to congratulate them on having the #1 record in the country.
Listen to Panic! At the Disco with PIZZA LYRICS
What if the lyrics to Panic! At the Disco’s ‘i Write Sins Not Tragedies’ were redone with references to pizza? These are the silly things that go through my comedy buddy Andy Milne on a daily basis, we’ll have the 101WKQX on in his 1990 Honda Civic (yes, it still runs) and he will on the stop give the lyrics to a song the ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic treatment. He posted this the other day, and I lost it. It’s so ridiculous but sometimes that’s what makes life worth living right? A good song and a slice of pizza is just some of life’s simple pleasures, so why not throw a joke on top of it?
Meanwhile Brendon Urie and company are riding high after a very successful arena tour this past spring. Urie this past week finished his run in the Broadway musical ‘Kinky Boots’ to sold-out audiences.

Listen to NEW Queens of the Stone Age ‘THE EVIL HAS LANDED’
Queens of the Stone Age are releasing a new album in two weeks called ‘Villains’ and headlining Riot Fest in 36 days, so why not release a new song, right? Today the band uploaded this audio on their Youtube with this creepy dancing devil puppet for a groovy track called “THE EVIL HAS LANDED”.
The song features elements you may recall from their breakthrough ‘Songs For the Deaf’ album with washy guitars, layered high end vocals, and then a hip-shaking breakdown near the end. The Queens have not dulled their edges, but adding some stompy clappy dance vibes is welcoming.

Will We Ever See Linkin Park’s Carpool Karaoke Episode
(from people.com)
Less than a week before his untimely death, Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington joined the band for a filming of an episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series. But whether the episode ever sees the light of day will be “completely” up to Bennington’s family.
On Tuesday, Late Late Show host and Carpool Karaoke executive producer James Corden told the Associated Press that Bennington’s family will be consulted about the episode’s future.

See Some of Kurt Cobain’s Never-Before-Seen Paintings
( from highsnobiety.com)
Premier talent and literary agency UTA has a special booth at the Seattle Art Fairfestival kicking off today, which features a variety of artwork that is highlighted by two never-before-seen paintings by the late Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain.
Reflecting the legendary musician’s music blended with skeletal figures, dark iconography and melting across — the two paintings according to UTA, with Untitled “point to Cobain’s issues with depression, self-image, and heroin addiction” while Incesticide was used for the band’s 1992 compilation album of the same name.
“Kurt Cobain was perhaps the most iconic musician of his generation, but his work as a visual artist is often overlooked,” said Head of UTA Fine Arts Josh Roth. “These paintings provide an opportunity to see him, and some of his contemporaries, in a new light.”
