18 OCT 2022 · Neal Francis is currently touring worldwide, promoting his most recent album, 'In Plain Sight.' I had a chance to catch up with him to discuss how he found his passion for music at a young age, what his first performances were like, and what role his 70s aesthetic plays in his life. When it comes to writing music and playing shows, Neal tells me, "I try to work on being less aware of myself, and I sort of just let it go." Neal Francis includes performs "Can't Stop The Rain," "Problems," and "Alameda Apartments." Before playing the songs, Neal Francis gives us an insight into the inspiration for each piece. He has a unique point of view that you won't want to miss; press play and go on this journey into the mind of Neal Francis!
19 OCT 2022 · Wildside was a metal band formed in 1988, at the pinnacle of the Hollywood Hair Metal craze, by guitarist Benny Rhynedance and singer Drew Hannah. Both were 1986 Hollywood Hair Metal transplants from the pre-grunge Seattle music scene, which was then dead as a doornail. With legendary Led Zeppelin record producer Andy Johns at the helm, Wildside recorded their debut CD in secret at Eddie Van Halen's personal home studio, and also at the renowned A&M studios in Hollywood throughout 1991. Master metal mix-meisters Steve Thompson and Michael Barbierio mixed the CD to near perfection. They had mixed and produced many big hair rock bands in the 80's. Capitol Records had a slick package to market to the metal masses. How could they lose? Let's catch up with Drew Hannah and his new project "80s Metal Recycle Bin" on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtDHvKYprwccUtRdCvB17Wg

As a band growing up in Dublin, Ireland, they were exposed to American culture through media and entertainment; now that they can travel all around the states playing music, they say they love the experience. And their "oh my gosh" moment is described more as moments (plural). They say, "we have a lot of them... every time you come here, even walking down a suburban street, is liking being in a movie… L.A. really blows our mind." Including live semi-acoustic performances of "It Won't Always Be Like This," "Cheer Up Baby," and "Totally."

25 OCT 2022 · Warner Bros. Television Group announced last week it’s cutting 26% of personnel — a total of 125 positions, across scripted, unscripted and animation. The news is the latest in what has been an overhaul for Warner Bros Discovery, which has been forced to make cuts in order to save at least $3 billion after the merger overseen by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav in April. Rapper Ye, also known by his given name Kanye West, is buying politically right-leaning social network Parler. Parlement Technologies, Parler's parent company, said in a news release that Ye "has become the richest Black man in history through music and apparel and is taking a bold stance against his recent censorship from Big Tech, using his far-reaching talents to further lead the fight to create a truly non-cancelable environment." And, There’s a war going on in Utah – not over politics or drugs – but cookies. Crumbl Cookies, which has more than 300 stores in 36 states, has declared war on smaller competitors Dirty Dough (six stores in Utah and Florida) and Crave (nine stores in Utah and Florida.) And it’s setting social media ablaze. Show sponsored by NeonMob.com Collect and trade incredible digital art from indie creators FREE with NeonMob.

26 OCT 2022 · United Airlines reported better-than-expected quarterly profit of $942 million. But that’s not what’s interesting here. What’s interesting is that the carrier is attributing at least part of its financial success to the growing trend of remote work. “Hybrid work allows every weekend to be a holiday weekend,” United CEO Scott Kirby said. McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal pumpkin pals made their return on Today! The item will be available at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide until Oct. 31. The iconic “K” sign from Knott’s Berry Farm has a new home. The Museum of Neon Art, located in Glendale, acquired the 46-year-old sign from the theme park last week. Knott’s Berry Farm removed the original sign, which sat atop the Sky Tower and Sky Jump parachute thrill ride since 1976, replacing it with a replica sign for the park’s 100th anniversary.

27 OCT 2022 · The only thing better than your favorite team stealing a base during the World Series is getting rewarded for it. Taco Bell announced that the highly-anticipated “steal a base, steal a taco” promotion is making a return for the 11th year during the 2022 World Series. As always, Taco Bell will give fans a free Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco if any MLB player manages to steal a base. However, this year Taco Bell is changing things up to make the promotion a home run. A new study finds that some people really are “mosquito magnets” and it probably has to do with the way they smell. The researchers found that people who are most attractive to mosquitoes produce a lot of certain chemicals on their skin that are tied to smell. And bad news for mosquito magnets: The bloodsuckers stay loyal to their favorites over time. Bad news for Millennials and Gen X. The emojis we use may be making us seem old. Gen Z is now canceling the ‘Thumbs Up’ emoji. They say its rude and hostile, and they feel attacked whenever it's used in the workplace.

28 OCT 2022 · Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) abruptly axed, then reinstated, its longstanding TV writers' training program. WBD said the plan "all along'' was to shift the workshop and its sister program for directors to the DEI division, but insiders said the timing and tone of WBD's announcements point to a rushed reversal driven by backlash. Sneaked away in Netflix's quarterly earnings report on Tuesday came new information about what it calls 'a thoughtful approach to monetize account sharing'. The scheme has been trialled in Latin America and will be rolled out globally in early 2023. In short, they intend to charge account holders for having users from outside their household on their account. McDonald’s limited-edition adult Happy Meal toys are selling for thousands of dollars. One seller on eBay listed a trio of unopened toys for $300,000.
