Turn up the radio….but not too loud, okay?
According to this piece from the Onion A.V. Club, there are people on our planet that are completely unaware of the alternative rock group R.E.M. – which prior to this moment, you and I both thought that those guys were pretty famous.

Jackson Browne, Public Enemy + more are headed to Cleveland!
Quite a few show announcements have been hitting our email in the past 48 hours, so I thought I’d share a few of them with you here.
