Wax Trax! Remembered!
Once upon a time…. well, back in the 80’s, there was a record store with an indie label attached. Wax Trax! Records!! It started with a few 12″ singles and ended up one of the most influential record labels for Industrial music. The label was home to Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM among so many others. 2445 N. Lincoln Ave became the center of the industrial universe. This weekend, a documentary about the label called Industrial Accident: The Untold Story Of Wax Trax! Records will premiere at The Vic Theatre with 2 showings tomorrow at 2:30 and 8:30. Each will be followed by a panel of artists and people associated with the label. There are no plans to distribute the film yet so I’d take advantage of this screening. Click here for tickets. -wALT

SHARKNADO IS REAL!
Cyclone Debbie which swept across the Queensland coast of Northeastern Australia on Tuesday causing widespread damage with winds up to 185 kph (114 mph).
Apparently, that is the speed required to make SHARKS FLY THROUGH THE AIR…
(or at least, wash up onto the mainland)
What should the title of Sharknado 5 be?
I vote for “Sharknado 5: last one, we promise.”

Bleachers is Back!
I sense new Bleachers music soon!!! Jack Antonoff has been dropping cryptic video hints on the band’s Twitter that include a first-person look at his family home as well as a bus ride from Jersey to NYC. Take a look:

Bleachers’ website is just a map graphic showing a trip between New Jersey and Lower Manhattan; most likely the trip we just experienced through Jack’s “eyes” in the video clips. Their Twitter account is also sporting a new profile photo. Could it be new album artwork?!
We’ll wait (im)patiently to find out.

One Out of Eight Millennials Doesn’t Know How to Change a Light Bulb
Apparently the answer to “How many millennials does it take to screw in a light bulb?” is “Zero . . . because you’ll have to do it for them.” According to a new survey, one out of eight people under 35 say they don’t know how to change a light bulb . . . and they’d ask their parents for help.

Christ Pratt: What’s My Snack
I wanted to share my new favorite series with you guys, because if you’re not following Chris Pratt on Instagram you’d probably miss it! He’s currently slimming down for his role in Jurassic World 2 – AND HE’S HUNGRY!! A feeling that anyone who’s dieted can relate to. (p.s. Body-Shamers need to get a life.)
Green Day Origin Video Series
I’m super excited about Green Day coming to Wrigley Field August 24th. I happened upon this video series chronicling their early years from their start playing venues in the late 80s through their big break in the industry with the release of the Dookie in 1994.
Check out the videos on Spotify here: Green Day: The Early Years – there’s some cool animated series as well as the origins of a few other bands, like Blink 182 and Metallica.
