Run the Jewels will be hitting the stage at Lollapalooza in August, but that’s not the only place in Chicago where you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the pair’s music. Emporium Arcade Bar Logan Square will be hosting a Run the Jewels-themed pop-up bar in the space that has recently housed Bottle Rocket and Branca Bar, setting up shop for just five days, from Wednesday, August 2 through Sunday, August 6.
wALT, our leading afternoon guy, music director, and founding member of Stabbing Westward posted a picture yesterday I thought everyone needed to see…
I mean, who DIDN’T own a pair of vinyl pants (or skirts, shorts, bras, panties, etc. in some of our cases…)
I hope he still has them…

A 19-year-old woke up to the sound of biting before realizing he was being attacked by a black bear when camping along a lakefront in Colorado on Sunday.
The teenager, identified only as Dylan, told Denver7 that he awoke to a “crunching noise” that he guessed was the bear’s “teeth scraping against [his] skull as it dug in.”
Three words: Dollar Portillo’s Dog.
National Hot Dog Day is just over a week away but Portillo fans are going to want to start planning.
Portillo’s announce today that in honor of the day (and the “season of eating one of America’s favorite foods”) they are offering a deal on Wednesday, July 19th!

The residents of Aurora were productive on the 4th of July. Not only they they enjoy fireworks, they also scored the world record for the most headbangers! It’s all to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wayne’s World (which takes place in Aurora… but you already knew that). What song did they use to get the record? Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody of course… played by an orchestra. Check out the video below! -wALT

A woman at a baseball game didn’t have all the facts when she complained about the “KKK” sign in the outfield.
The Atlanta woman was at a Braves baseball game when she noticed the sign in the outfield and tweeted her distaste, writing “definitely NOT ok.”
“Really disappointed with this sign at the new #BravesStadium,” she wrote Tuesday in a now-deleted Twitter post. But what the woman saw was the “K-Corner.” Almost every stadium has one of them — the so-called “living scorecard” where fans in the outfield keep track of the home pitcher’s strikeouts.
She was ridiculed online for not knowing about the tradition. READ MORE
A grandma at a Dodgers game was featured on the Jumbotron on Saturday night. At first she was dancing and having fun in the stands . . . then she suddenly pulled up her top and FLASHED the whole stadium. She was wearing a granny bra, but still.
Maybe it’s because we are less than 25 days away from Lollapalooza, but I am getting more pumped by the day for this show. I am pumped like a Reebok in ’92. The Killers are headlining this year’s festivities in Grant Park on the heels of a butt-shaking new single ‘The Man’ and a new album ‘Wonderful, Wonderful’ in September. The Nevada darlings tore it up this past weekend with a sold-out festival headlining set on Hyde Parks British Summer Time series. Their set featured an extravagant stage show with a curving LED screen towering over the band, pink confetti blasts, and singer Brandon Flowers sporting a pink leather jacket. If you can pull off a pink leather jacket, you are cool. Flowers is very cool.
So do we get this aesthetic dressing on our musical cake with the Killers when they take the stage at Lolla? I hope so, but Lolla rarely has big production to add the grand scale of a show that is regularly the largest musical festival in America. If we get all the extra pink confetti, let’s just put in our pockets so we remember the day. Here are some social media highlights of the Killers in action at BST.

The Oasis classic ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ has become a uniting anthem for England after the recent terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. The song was played by Coldplay during Grande’s charity event and was sung by the people on Manchester during a memorial for the victims shortly after the attack. It even prompted unfulfilled rumors that the feuding Gallagher brothers of Oasis would reunite to play it again. With Noel Gallagher playing with his High Flying Birds band as an opener for U2 on their recent UK stadium dates, the moving track was utilized for chance cover with grand results this past weekend.
Barns Courtney busted his foot at Summerfest in Milwaukee. So he channeled his “inner Dave Grohl” in order to take the stage in Los Angeles this past week. As you can see from the slide show above, he rocked out — hospital gown, ambulance cot, and blonde nurse gliding around the stage. You can also check out concert footage below from RockNYC.
I knew I liked this guy from the moment we met. That’s pure style. 😛 — [eric]
