Twenty One Pilots on SNL
Twenty One Pilots did a couple tunes on SNL over the weekend. If you missed it…
Heathens:
Ride:
SNL continues to destroy with Election sketches & TWENTY ONE PILOTS!
Twenty-One Pilots delivered a violin-backed version of ‘Heathans’ on national TV with grand style that we’ve come to expect. Tyler’s red hat is just a fun look right?
The second performance of the night for TOP saw ‘Ride’ which is still in the Billboard Top 10 even though album it comes from ‘Blurryface’ was released 18 months ago. You simply can not stop this duo as they continue become a worldwide phenomenon.
Now the new cast for the 42nd season of Saturday Night Live continued to delivered a solid roasting to the current Presidential candidates in Donald Trump played by actor extraordinaire Alec Baldwin, the always fun Kate McKinnon delivers with Hillary Clinton, and new cast member Mikey Day effortlessly pulled off ‘America’s Dad’ and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine. Let’s forget in comedy like this you need good people to play straigh to set up the big laughter bombs, Cecily Strong a vet of 30 Rockefellar Plaza, provides the perfect support role. She also got a biting line on Trump’s most recent scandal saying that he “finally has a working microphone” in response to the Republican’s

Reunited and it feels so good. Best buddies Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon made an appearance as ‘Two Undecided Voters from suburban Philladelphia’ in Weekend Update (which also roasted Trump like he was a side of beef) along with the continually charismatic Pete Davidson making a plea to retain his youthful good looks. Jimmy Fallon loses his character’s Philadelphia accent here,
One of the more recent highlights in SNL has been the show’s pre-shot music video spoofs and this week’s jab at the awkward narcissism of high school theater geeks in ‘Crucible Cast Party’. If you ever tried out for your high school production a very dramatic play so that you could maybe have a stage kiss with the hottest person in your class, this is right up your alley.
Weezer team with comedian Patton Oswalt for “I Love the USA” video
“We are Weezer and we approve this message”
Alternative icons Weezer posted one of the best music videos of the year today with “I Love the USA”, a bonus track that is included on the deluxe edition of ‘the White Album’ which dropped on Friday. The video features an overzealous goof in American flag pants played by comedic treasure Patton Oswalt who stumbles into an empty Oval Office in the White House. Hilarity ensues over the track which itself is a humorous look at living in the USA. With the Election ’16 season being the non-stop hot topic of our collective lives, this should serve as a fun diversion to all of that. Beware, some naughty words are in this video.
WEEZER plays Night 1 of The Nights We Stole Christmas at the Aragon on Friday December 1st with Phantogram and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.

Go Go Power Rangers! First teaser for the new movie is out
Their a rag tag crew of misguided teenagers who gain super-powers, it’s a grittier darker and slightly adult remake of the Power Rangers that we are getting in theaters in March 2017 based this trailer uploaded this weekend by Lionsgate Films. The edginess added to Power Rangers was clear when we first got pics of the Iron Man-like costumes and it was revealed that Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston would appear in the film as the voice of Zordon, the alien mentor to the Rangers. @kevkellam

When You Miss Your Train
Michael Neas posted a video to YouTube on Wednesday night showing some dude hanging onto the outside of a Red Line train giving a thumbs up. Neas didn’t immediately return a message.
I don’t care if you DO have Game 1 tickets and miss your train, this does not count as “flying the W!” #GoCubsGo

More from dnainfo.com:
“Jeff Tolman, a spokesman for the Chicago Transit Authority, said they are investigating the video and “will pursue appropriate charges.”
“Actions like this are extremely foolhardy and display an astonishing lack of common sense and judgment,” Tolman said in an e-mail. “This is not only illegal, but dangerous not just to the person involved but other passengers as well.”
Police said Thursday they had no record of the incident, but always recommend riding inside the train.
“It’s not worth your personal safety,” said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman. “You can make up some time, but you can’t make up your life. You only get one.”

Trent Reznor teasing new Nine Inch Nails music before 2017
In Tweet posted in December last year, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor stated that new music from NIN would be released in 2016 so as we roll into October there is no clear sign of when this new music will become available to fans. Reznor clarified in an Instagram comment thread this week in a report by our buds Consequence of Sound, that “2016 was not over yet”. This would indicate that a follow-up to 2013’s ‘Hesitation Marks’ is still active in some way we are not yet aware of. A new NIN track was reported for a release in mid-September but Reznor denied the reports as rumor on Twitter.
Reznor has been busy though making music, specifically notable film scores including Leonardo DiCaprio’s Between the Flood and Patriot’s Day, the Mark Whalberg film about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
As a lifelong NIN fan, this is a tease of new music is beautiful agony (sounds like a Reznor lyric, doesn’t it?) but let the man do his thing. It is hard for me to recall any Nine Inch album or live performance that disappointed me. @kevkellam

Green Day making an ‘American Idiot’ movie with HBO
Green Day has made their mark as a seminal band in alternative rock music in several memorable ways, including the high-concept 2004 album ‘American Idiot’ which scored the East Bay band some of their biggest success. That album which has been adapted into a Broadway stage musical in 2010, is getting even another platform to continue the tales of the Jesus of Suburbia and St. Jimmy in new grand visual heights with HBO green lighting a feature film. The movie which has been rumored as far back as 2011 with Tom Hanks being attached to it at the time as a producer, but the film is now a go according Billie Joe Armstrong himself.
“That’s the plan right now, yeah,” Armstrong says to NME. “We’ve got a green light from HBO, and the script is currently going through a couple of rewrites here and there, so I’m not sure when exactly we’re going to start shooting, but it’s definitely all systems go at the moment.” Armstrong will play the role of St. Jimmy in the yet-to-be-shot film, which he played on stage on Broadway for the musical.
As if that was not enough, Green Day are already busy touring in anticipation of ‘Revolution Radio’ which is due out later tonight at 12am worldwide and you can catch them on NBC’s ‘Tonight Show’ tonight as well.
