Radiohead jam out by a fire in ‘Present Tense’ music video
Getting away from the grand concepts of their past music videos like the animated misadventures in the classic ‘Paranoid Android’ or the recent claymation horror of ‘Burn the Witch’, Radiohead today released a engaging yet simplistic video with Paul Thomas Anderson, who previously worked with them on ‘Daydreaming’ off their most recent album ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’. Thom Yorke and company play the crooning tune in the soft glow of what feels like a campfire, it’s not clear if smores were eaten off camera or if they followed this up with a ghost story.
RH has been full of surprises like this one that they pulled out at a recent Madison Square Garden show.

Rob Lowe to star in ‘Super Troopers 2’, meow
According to Deadline Hollywood, the fountain of youth embodied in one person Rob Lowe will star in the long-in-the-works ‘Super Trooper 2’ from the Broken Lizard comedy crew. The sequel to the cult comedy classic was funded with $4.5 million completely by fans. Fox Searchlight will release the film in North America. Broken Lizard members Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske penned the script and will star as the demented State Troopers who can’t stop getting into shenanigans.
Lowe comes into the role fresh off his recent ‘Roast’ special for Comedy Central (which really turned into a roast of conservative pundit Ann Coulter) and an acclaimed run with NBC’s ‘Parks & Recreation’. Lowe’s character in ‘ST2’ will be “Guy Le Franc, a former hockey player and the current mayor of a Quebec Canadian border town.” He’s going stay active in TV with a role on CBS’s ‘Code Black’ which has Season 2 coming soon.
Check out this short trailer Broken Lizard made for their IndieGoGo campaign. Beware NSFW language….

TWITTER UPDATE: 140-character limit is CHANGING!!
(from consumerist.com)
After announcing last spring that it would revamp the way it counts characters in Tweets, Twitter has reportedly put a date on when this change will kick in. Starting Sept. 19, Twitter will no longer count usernames in replies, media attachments — think photos, GIFs, videos, and other content — and quoted Tweets against the 140-character limit, The Verge reports, citing sources familiar with the company. Twitter first announced in May that it would allow users to express more on the site by simplifying what counts toward the character restriction in the “coming months.” (MORE HERE)

It Cost Over $400K To Fix Grant Park After Lollapalooza
(from chigagoist.com
It looks like ticket prices aren’t the only sticker shocks associated with Lollapalooza. The costs to repair Grant Park following the epic summer music festival totaled $453,000 this year, according to the Chicago Park District. That represents a significant increase over last year’s costs, $236,000—almost half this year’s figure. The highest restoration cost in recent years was 2011, when a torrential thunderstorm deluged the park on Day Three and resulted in $1 million in damage.
I wonder if this cost has anything to do with people burying treasures in the ground weeks before so they won’t have to sneak them in? THOSE WE’RE GOPHER HOLES!! – m

GREEN DAY ROBS A BANK in the video for ‘Bang! Bang!’
A bank heist and house party collide in the new music video from Green Day for ‘Bang! Bang!’ off their upcoming album, ‘Revolution Radio’ due out on October 7th. The video was posted by the iconic Bay area band on their Facebook page, and already has a positive response from fans. The visual of the bank robbers wearing masks that look like enlarged versions of Mike Dirnt, Tre Cool, and Billie Joe Armstrong catches you and creates this tension of what’s going happen when these two scenarios crash into each other over the track which covers serious issues related to gun violence.

Chipotle Starts Testing Burrito Delivery Drones!!
(from gizmodo.com)
It’s every stoned college kid’s dream: EVERYONE’S DREAM!! Flying burritos delivered on demand with the push of a button. And if Chipotle and Alphabet’s Project Wing have their way, that dream could soon become a reality. The companies will start testing their burrito-delivery drones at Virginia Tech next week. Alphabet’s Project Wing, a branch of the behemoth tech company formerly known as Google, announced the tests today, which will include autonomous drones being monitored by human operators. But the drones won’t take off from Chipotle stores with orders. Instead, test participants will order from a special kiosk on campus, prompting the drones to take off from Chipotle food trucks and ultimately lower the packages to the ground. (MORE HERE)
We have a only a short amount of time before they reach Chicago. I need to re-watch season one of MR. ROBOT to learn some hacking skills. FREE BURRITOS FOR EVERYONE!!!

OH Really? North Korea bans ‘sarcasm’, Stephen Colbert responds
North Korea, the rogue nation who earlier this week once again defied international sanctions and tested a nuclear weapon underground causing an earthquake, has exhibited more extreme behavior by also banning ‘sarcasm’ is any reference to it’s enigmatic and aggressive dictator Kim Jong Un. According to the Independent, Jong Un banned the form of expression because he worries that the North Korean people only agree with him ironically.
Now clearly North Korea testing a nuke is much more of an important issue, but serious times call for serious satire. Insert ‘Late Show’ host Stephen Colbert who turned the sarcasm meter past 1000 with this thorough roasting of the regime leader.
