Remembering Chris Cornell
Even as I type this, I still don’t believe it. I don’t believe Chris Cornell is gone. One of the most talented being on this planet. Almost, otherworldly. Maybe he is.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Chris Cornell whether on the phone, in person or in the audience watching him do what he was put here to do.
I’d like to share a sit down I had with Chris that was never posted publicly due to mic and sound issues, and hope you will see past that to feel the intimacy and warmth that was in the 101WKQX Studio 7 on October 7, 2015:
And a clip from the night before at the Chicago Theatre:
The first time I spoke with Chris was over the phone in September of 2012 when he called in to chat about Soundgarden coming back after 15 years gone guns blazing with a new album and tour, this is a clip about wanting fans to have the full album experience:
And about Soundgarden’s brand new fans:
this is a clip about how he grateful he is to do what he does:
Chris and Ben Shepherd came through our Underground Lounge at JBTV on Apil 23, 2013 and were kind enough to play some incredible acoustic songs, feel free to download and share.

PREMIERE: Watch the music video for MUSE “Dig Down” now:
Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff bringing his childhood bedroom to PIQNIQ
(from chicagotribune.com
Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff will be bringing a lot of baggage to PIQNIQ this weekend for his set at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.
The 33-year-old singer-songwriter announced he has packed up the New Jersey bedroom he lived in until age 27 into a trailer that will accompany Bleachers on tour. Antonoff is encouraging fans to listen to his upcoming album “Gone Now” in the trailer before shows. (MORE HERE)
This is even cooler than the replica of Ferris Bueller’s room they had on display last year at Virgin Hotel downtown.

First-Ever Official Nutella Cafe Set To Open In Chicago
The first-ever official cafe dedicated to all things Nutella is coming to Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago.
Owned and operated by Ferrero, the makers of Nutella, the permanent cafe will offer an “array of all-day dishes and go-to options,” the company announced Tuesday.
Among the “authentic” menu items inspired by the hazelnut-chocolate spread’s Italian origins will be warm baguettes and gelato, all topped with Nutella. For those who have nut allergies or just want something else there will be non-Nutella items on the menu as well. Even the decor is meant to evoke the spread. Read More

VIDEO: Foo Fighter debut new song ‘The Sky is a Neighborhood’
The Foo Fighters contributed to a charity event last night in San Francisco called ‘Acoustic 4 A Cure IV’ with a duo version of the band with Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl randomly debuting a new song called ‘The Sky is a Neighborhood’. The song which could be featured on their upcoming album, featured Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee giving it a bluesy feel and somp/clap beat dressed with Grohl’s passionate chorus. It sounds like Foos This could easily fit into their live shows with a big sing-a-long.
Now this fan-filmed video of course only gives us a rough idea of the new song but it shows the Foos are primed to go on to large lyrical concepts with the yet-to-be-titled new album.
VIDEO: Make your own portable record player
The fine people at Spinbox have crafted possibly one of the DIY toys for vinyl record fanatics: a record player you can build by yourself. The company says you can build it in 18 minutes or less with an an easy-to-carry design that only requires a mobile charger. Would you pick this up? I know some people who would freak out over this especially with summer BBQ’s when people try to get that aux cord to take over the party. You walk in with this and some select records, well you own the party, right? The team behind this is developing it with a Kickstarter campaign that is legit, look at more here.
Here is a sample video to show off how the Spinbox kit actually sounds in it’s finished form. It’s kind of shocking to think this was just made by someone in their house.
