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.

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.”

Pearl Jam tease their Wrigley Field concert film
Maybe because we were deep in throws of Lolla land last week, but the beloved JVO turned me onto this teaser video that was posted by Pearl Jam on Twitter last Thursday that features footage of the band’s magical shows at Wrigley Field last year which is being presented as a concert film called ‘Let’s Play Two’. The teaser features the deep voice of Eddie Vedder proclaiming “the first time you step into Wrigley Field, it’s like stepping into Oz.” Yes, if you don’t know Eddie Vedder is the world’s most famous Cubs fan or is it, Bill Murray?
If you are itching to find out more about the movie because you simply don’t have enough Cubs relared fun in your life, go here.
OkCupid doesn’t let users see who visits their profile anymore
OkCupid has been near the top of the online dating movement that has changed social interaction in our modern age, but this past week they made a massive change to their website for users by not allowing them to see who visits their profile anymore. In a blog post the company stated the new initiative is to give users no ” distraction of visitors, you can now focus on the people who like what they see on your profile and really want to get to know you. And when you’re focused on those people, your chances of higher quality connections improves.”
After we found positive data from testing, we decided to remove visitors. Here are the details on why >> https://t.co/u2a5AdX4kM
— OkCupid (@okcupid) August 8, 2017
An e-mail sent to users last week was a bit more direct saying “What’s the value of a visitor? Short answer: zero. You can now connect with even more people because you don’t have to feel shy about showing up as a visitor — and neither do they.” On OKC’s Facebook page they have been flooded with complaints and debates about the change. Some feel it does not let you monitor ‘creeps’ who could be returning after you don’t ‘ghost’ them after an initial message and others complain the maneuver is just meant to push OKC users who not using the website for free to subscribe to the ‘A-List’ premium version.
The Verge did an in-depth article breaking down the entire fracas over the flirting and how the change has many users claiming they will cancel their premium subscriptions and delete their accounts. No matter what you think of the visitor change, OkCupid has been very transparent in these new rollouts and how they adjust the experience for users.
Watch ‘Kim Jong-Un’ Threaten To Nuke The Wieners Circle In ‘Colbert’ Opening Bit
(from chicagoist.com)
What do you do when so much nuclear sabre-rattling has humanity looking a lot like the blind man teetering at the precipice at the end of Akira Kurosawa’s Ran? Well, you can always flip on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and try to point and laugh into the abyss.
Those who took that path last night were treated to a well-placed Chicago reference, as Colbert—who of course cut his comedic chops in Chicago—cold-opened Tuesday night’s episode with Kim Jong-Un’s “response” to new sanctions. First on the list with a nuke-strike threat? Our very own foul-mouthed hot-dog purveyors The Wieners Circle. (We know it’s a divisive place but, c’mon, supreme leader; that’s a bit much.)
Bill Murray moved to tears after watching new ‘Groundhog Day’ Broadway musical
(from rollingstone.com)
Bill Murray attended the Broadway adaptation of his 1993 comedy classic Groundhog Day Tuesday night, with the actor reportedly moved to tears by the new musical.
New York Times documented Murray’s visit to the August Wilson Theater to see the musical for the first time. Throughout the evening, Murray was gracious with awestruck attendees, posing for selfies, leaving the bartending staff generous tips and even offering two young kids some of his Junior Mints.
Following the performance, Murray was asked why the musical, and the film, resonated so much. “The idea that we just have to try again. We just have to try again,” Murray said. “It’s such a beautiful, powerful idea.”
One of your favorite all time movies and mine as well. I’m not normally into musicals and this may not be my thing either but if Bill Murray was moved to tears I at least have to give it my approval. Somebody go and tell me if it’s any good.

Sinead O’Connor posts video saying she is ‘alone’ and ‘suicidal’ living in a Travelodge
(from independent.co.uk)
Singer Sinead O’Connor has sparked fresh concern over her mental health after posting a Facebook video in which she reveals she has wanted to kill herself for the past two years.
The Irish songwriter, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, took to the social media site for a tearful confessional recording, opening up about how alone she has felt since losing custody of her 13-year-old son.
In the video, posted from the Travelodge in New Jersey where she says she is now living, the 50-year-old said she suffers from three mental illnesses. “I’m all by myself, there’s absolutely nobody in my life.
This makes me sad. She’s had such a struggle. I hope she continues to get the help she needs and doesn’t harm herself.
Disney pulling out of Netflix, to launch it’s own streaming service
Disney is pulling it’s content off Netflix ending and it’s distribution agreement with the video platform, to launch their own digital video service in 2019. The massive entertainment and media company made the news public today in their latest earnings report. They are purchased a 33% stake in the streaming company, BamTech as muscle for it’s new yet-to-be-named video service. The Disney video service and will include the upcoming ‘Toy Story 4’, ‘Frozen 2’ and a lot of new original content. It’s not clear when exactly Disney movies and shows will get yanked off the Net of Flix, but it’s going to happen.
This shows that the TV world is ever changing, and this is going to be a huge change that will directly affect several on-going Marvel series like ‘Daredevil’, ‘Jessica Jones’ and the upcoming ‘Inhumans’ which are owned by Disney. This of course means that Disney’s animated features like ‘Moana’ and others will also be off Netflix soon as well. In 2012, Netflix made a partnership with Disney which helped continue to make the VOD service to go-to for TV watching. Disney continues to have it’s own Disney Channel on TV cable systems across the country.
Disney is also launching a new ESPN video streaming service in early 2018. The sports platform, which will feature about 10,000 events each year, will have content from the MLB, NHL, MLS, collegiate sports and tennis’ Grand Slam events.
This clearly not good news for Netflix, especially the recent negative financial news that the company is $20 billion dollars in debt. Screen Junkies News breaks down all the info on how Netflix is facing some very harsh challenges with their massive bets.
