Emma Watson Won’t Take Selfies With Fans

March 1, 2017 | Nicci

Emma Watson will no longer takes selfies with her fans. Her reasoning? It’s a matter of safety and privacy. “For me, it’s the difference between being able to have a life and not. If someone takes a photograph of me and posts it, within two seconds they’ve created a marker of exactly where I am within 10 meters. They can see what I’m wearing and who I’m with. I just can’t give that tracking data.” Don’t worry HP Fans, she still cares and will offer an autograph or time to chat to make up for her no selfie policy. READ MORE

February 28, 2017 | Marconi🍕

(from wired.com)

GOOGLE JUST JOINED the “skinny bundle” TV war with YouTube TV, a paid subscription service that streams a slew of premium broadcast and cable networks to your mobile device, tablet, computer, and anything with Chromecast.

Just $35 a month gets you six accounts and access to live TV from more than 40 providers including the big broadcast networks, ESPN, regional sports networks and dozens of popular cable networks. Subscriptions include cloud DVR with unlimited storage, AI-powered search and personalization, and access to YouTube Red programming. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki calls it the evolution of television, and a bid to “give the younger generation the content that they love with the flexibility they expect.” (MORE HERE)

The channel options seem pretty cool. However, I already have SLING TV, HULU, NETFLIX as well as really fast internet that comes with a basic cable package that includes HBO and SHOWTIME. I can watch them all on my phone, laptop or TV. Lots of cool features on YouTube TV though. I might try it out for a month.

Oscar blunder fall out grows, Accountant behind the scenes blamed

February 28, 2017 | Kevin

It was beyond awkward for everyone in attendance, on stage, and everyone watching on television during Sunday night’s Oscar awards show as ‘La La Land’ was mistakenly awarded Best Picture before the honoro properly given to ‘Moonlight’. The scene has been the talk of social media ever since, and everyone seems to have some theory as to why this massive blunder happened and blame being placed on various parties involved. So who is to blame for this happening?

According to report today by Entertainment Weekly, Price Waterhouse Cooper (PwC), the accounting firm that counts and delivers the winning Oscars envelopes, publicly has taken the blame for the whole incident. Through some comprehensive reporting it has been discovered that an accountant for PwC handed presenter Warren Beatty the wrong envelope with the wrong winner. Many tweets and posts online zoomed in on the envelope which reads the wrong category. The accountant in question reportedly tweeted a photo backstage of award winner Emma Stone at 9:05PM just a few minutes before the Best Picture blunder. This same accountant was told to not use social media in anyway while on duty for PwC. The Academy has already launched a full investigation into the issue. Read more here.

Double Door Leaves Wicker Park For Good

February 27, 2017 | Marconi🍕

(from chicagoist.com)

Wicker Park used to be the heartbeat of Chicago’s music scene; you couldn’t stumble four feet without running into a band playing in a club, on the street or in the back of a taco shop. With this move, Wicker Park has lost one of its great cultural anchors.

Losing Double Door is a huge blow to Chicago. The only thing that lessens that blow is the understanding that the owners are looking into a new space and will launch a new era of live music elsewhere. But if ever you thought you heard the death knell of what made Wicker Park Wicker Park, it has finally sounded now.

I was lucky enough to unknowingly see the venue’s final show—a bill that included many bands I’d booked in the past and both bandmates and staff I had spent decades with. I prefer to remember the room like that: vibrant and full of life. But I think it’s a crime no one ever got to say a proper goodbye. (MORE HERE)

We’ve posted on this story as it has unfolded. It’s just sad. I wish it wasn’t real. I hope when they open their next venue we will all christen it with something awesome together!! Thanks Double Door for giving so much to the city of Chicago.

Chance the Rapper loves to provide his fellow Chicagoans the opportunity to do awesome things, whether it’s by holding Open Mike events or throwing his very own festival. So after seeing Jordan Peele’s excellent Get Out for himself, he wanted to make sure everyone else in Chicago had a chance to do so as well. And for free. (MORE HERE)

Chance is officially the coolest celebrity. I wish more famous people would do stuff like this. Now more than ever this is what we need. Chance is The People’s Champ!!

New Study Says Music Effects Brain Like Sex, Drugs

February 26, 2017 | Eric

It turns out listening to music sets off chemicals in the brain that occur when people eat, do recreational drugs, or have sex.

The new study from McGill University “is the first demonstration that the brain’s own opioids are directly involved in musical pleasure.” The people conducting it chemically blocked the brain’s pleasure receptors and found that even people’s favorite songs no longer gave them pleasure.

Seems pretty elementary, but to me this furthers the study of the brain’s complicated chemistry. These pleasure centers can lead to addictive or destructive behavior. To me, I read this and think: music might be one of the many remedies that addicts can use to stay clean, for instance. But that has yet to be seen. At the very least, emotion, biology, and music are being tied together. That’s very cool…

In the meantime: Sex, drugs, and 101WKQX’s particular brand of rock n’ roll. The saying makes sense after all. SCIENCE!!! — [eric]

Actor Bill Paxton has died at 61

February 26, 2017 | Kevin

Film and TV actor Bill Paxton has died at the age 61, due to complications related to a surgery. The sad news was confirmed by a representative to EW and People.

Paxton is best remembered for his roles in blockbusters like 1986’s Aliens, 1995’s Apollo 13, 1996’s Twister, and 1997’s Titanic. He recently had lead roles in the HBO series Big Love and the History series Hatfield & McCoys. Besides supporting characters in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D ,Edge of Tomorrow, and Nightcrawlers, Paxton was in a lead role in the recently launched TV adaption of Training Day on CBS. CBS has not made a public statement on how this recent news will change that show.

Paxton talks about improvising on camera with Arnold Schwarzenegger when filming ‘True Lies’ with Conan O’Brien

Paxton had a career in show business that stretched over four decades, seeing him work his way out of the art department and into on-camera roles. His biggest roles were more dramatic and action oriented, but his first breakout performance were as comedic yet very memorable side characters in now classic 80’s films, Weird Science as ‘Chet’ and Bill Murray’s Stripes.

Paxton revealed in this Late Late Show appearance from a few weeks back, that he has a ‘crush’ on Tom Cruise

He even dabbled in alternative music with his new wave band Martini Ranch which released two albums.

Paxton and the cast of Aliens reunited for a panel retrospective on the classic sci-fi horror adventure at the San Diego ComiCon in 2016.

WATCH THE FULL CONCERT HERE

The Foo Fighters are back from their hiatus with several big festival dates in Europe announced, and today in the UK the band played a surprise show at a venue called Cheese and Grain for the world to see online via Periscope. The show was no small effort either, as the Foos gave those in attendance a monster set of 24 songs including the live debut of ‘Sean’ off their recent ‘Saint Cecilia’ EP. The performance was meant to reveal the Foo Fighters as headliners for the Glatsonbury Festival in June with Radiohead.

It was the band’s first show since November 2015, and has many fans already anticipating new music from Dave Grohl and company. They played two new songs in the set today “Keep Your Pretty Promise to Yourself” and “Run With Me”.Now when that music will make it’s way out, is unknown. Let’s just hope we get them doing fun shows in Chicago like they did at Wrigley Field and Cubby Bear a few years ago.

Here the setlist from today’s live streamed show according to our pals Consequence of Sound.
