Mayonnaise

June 12, 2017 | <3 Lauren

Don’t get me wrong, I am a mayonnaise fan.  In fact, I found a mayo packet in my purse last week.

\Which got me equal parts excited (that I have mayo at the ready) and disgusted at myself (who carries mayo around in their purse?)

Anyway, I came across an article that talks about putting the condiment of champions on stuff before it hits the grill.  I am trying to wrap my head around it…

When I brought it up today a bunch of people texted that they put mayo on their grilled cheese,  ON THE OUTSIDE?!

Do you do this?  Why?  How?  On What?  How is it?

Chris Cornell’s isolated vocals on ‘Black Hole Sun’

Chris Cornell's Isolated Vocals on "Black Hole Sun"

A voice that comes around once in a lifetime.

Posted by Consequence of Sound on Friday, June 9, 2017

 

Consequence of Sound posted some truly wonderful audio of Chris Cornell’s isolated vocals on the Soundgarden hit ‘Black Hole Sun’ this week, and it will remind me you how amazing his voice was.

We were lucky enough to record a private acoustic session with Chris in 2013 back in our old Merchandise Mart studios. You can hear that audio here with performances of ‘Black Hole Sun’, ‘Blow Up the Outside World’, ‘Fell on Black  Days’ and more. 

Here is more coverage of the alternative music world’s tributes to Cornell who passed away last month while on tour in Detroit.

Blink 182 Get Goofy in ‘Home is Such a Lonely Place’ Video

June 12, 2017 | Marconi🍕

Blink-182’s deluxe edition of California has been out since May 29, which added 12 new singles to the already 16-track album. They’ve also added another video, ‘ Home Is Such A Lonely Place’ which is a ballad that might evoke emotions. It appears to be video clips shot by the band themselves as they visit home, taking a break from life on the road (which is also lonely ??)…Wait is that a shot of Malort Matt Skiba is drinking in his cool jacket with the Chicago Flag patch on it?

Wrigleyville Dive Bar Builds Wall Of Malort

June 12, 2017 | Marconi🍕

(from chicagoist.com)

Wrigleyville’s, Nisei Lounge is the kind of unpretentious dive where the staff serves up a good craft beer or a cheap domestic and doesn’t suffer fools. It’s also earned its reputation as something of a shrine to Chicago’s favorite foul spirit, the mighty Malort. Now, it appears they’ve outdone themselves. (MORE HERE) 

Glorious. I love the notes left on the wall too.

My first shot of Malort caught on video

Adam “The One True Batman” West Has Died

June 12, 2017 | Nicci

Batman died on Friday.  And no, I’m not talking about Christian Bale or Ben Affleck . . . or Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, or, God forbid, George Clooney.  I’m talking about THE Batman.  The ONE TRUE BATMAN, ADAM WEST. Adam’s family said he passed away after a brief battle with leukemia.  He was 88. “Batman” debuted in 1966, but only lasted three seasons.  It aired twice a week, with a cliffhanger between each week’s episodes.  And it was so popular that everybody wanted to guest star as a villain. They also made a movie version that hit theaters in 1966, and included one of the greatest scenes in film history:  The “Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb” scene. And while he kept busy as an actor in the years since the show was canceled in 1968, the role continued to define him as an actor. Although today’s kids might know him as the voice of . . . well . . . Adam West, Mayor of Quahog on “Family Guy”. Adam’s take on Batman was a lot different than anyone else’s, before or after him.  Yes, there were two guys who played Batman before him, in black and white movie serials in the 1940s. Adam’s Batman could be enjoyed by kids as an action-packed superhero adventure.  But it was also very obviously a campy satire that was a lot smarter than some people give it credit for. Adam once said, quote, “You can’t play Batman in a serious, square-jawed, straight-ahead way without giving the audience the sense that there’s something behind that mask waiting to get out, that he’s a little crazed, he’s strange.” Adam, BURT WARD, and JULIE NEWMAR reprised their roles as Batman, Robin, and Catwoman in the 2016 animated movie “Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders”.  And they shot another one called “Batman vs. Two Face”, with WILLIAM SHATNER as Two Face.  It’s due out sometime this year. Adam is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. READ MORE

Man Freed From Prison After Discovering Look-Alike

June 11, 2017 | Eric

For the record, that’s not photos taken at different times in life.  At first glance, maybe.  In focus, those are clearly two separate men.  But mistaken identity may have caused one of them to spend 17 years in prison.

Richard Anthony Jones always maintained that he was innocent of robbing a Wal-Mart.  After being sentenced on solely eyewitness testimony, he later heard that he looked just like someone else in the prison system.  In fact, they shared the same first name….Ricky.   And the other man lived near where the crime occured (Jones, meanwhile, lived across the state line.)

Based on the new information, a judge freed the man this week.  You can read the entire saga here.  — [eric]

Could the Earth be Flat?

June 9, 2017 | Mishell Livio

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  This is one I have heard, but definitely not so fully fleshed out before.  I believe that there are an infinite number of possibilities and an infinite number of realities.  In some realities the Earth is round and in others the Earth is flat; you (or science if you choose to believe in it) can choose which reality you are currently living in.

 

Here’s a shorter video from Bill Nye about the Earth being round.
