Hump Day & Chill

Being Chill
Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter

Even though it wasn't Hump Day, it was Friday April 17th 2026 to be exact. Here are Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter being Chill backstage at Coachella where they performed together.

They also debuted their collab on the single Bring Your Love which drops tomorrow.

It's a good song and I'm sure it's going to be a huge hit for the Queen Of Pop and her Mini Me.

Personally I can't think of anything more sublime to Hump Day & Chill to, right!

Now get up and shake your booty!

Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward: is an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others rather than paying it back to the original benefactor. It is also called serial reciprocity.

The world needs more kindness and good deeds these days. So let's follow the example of Cookie Monster and "Pay It Forward."

While you may not have a cookie to give someone I'm sure you have something you can share, or do for another person that will make their day.

So let's bend it like Cookie Monster, shall we??? 

We Shall!!!

Booty Call

Sharon Stone

Instead of having a Kiki let's have a Booty Call, shall we??? We shall!!!

This Booty Call is brought to you by none other than the iconic Sharon Stone...

Leave it to this trailblazer to add her own special twist to it by spelling it "Bootie" in lieu of the usual "Booty"

I'm not sure there is much more I can extrapolate on this subject matter because we all know what the term means.

Get out and get yourself some!

RECENT STUDIO LP NOW AND THE FUTURE AND "THREE AGAINST ME" VIDEO

WATCH: “Three Against Me” (Official Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMZk7WhK0PU

Horace Pinker have also unveiled the official video for “Three Against Me,” a standout track from their latest full-length Now and the Future, out now via People of Punk Rock Records.

Built on driving guitars, airtight rhythms, and lyrics that balance defiance with reflection, “Three Against Me” captures the essence of a band that continues to evolve without losing its core identity. The video delivers a raw, unfiltered snapshot of Horace Pinker’s signature intensity and onstage energy.

Now and the Future marks the band’s first full-length since 2011’s Local State Inertia—a return that finds them revitalized, focused, and as melodic and ferocious as ever.

“Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,” the band shares. “Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy, the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots.”

Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with producer/engineer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie), the album highlights the chemistry between Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals). From the adrenaline rush of “Three Against Me” to the melodic hardcore punch of “Call It a Day,” the LP reinforces the band’s decades-long commitment to urgency, honesty, and craft.

The album features cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), further underscoring its balance of grit, melody, and emotional weight. Confident and uncompromising, Now and the Future captures everything that has kept Horace Pinker a global touring force for more than three decades.

This Used To Be My Playground...

Geena Davis & Madonna

It took 34 years, but Mae Mordabito (Madonna) and Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) who played baseball for the Rockford Peaches in A League Of Their Own reunited at Coachella.

They each participated in weekend two of Sabrina Carpenters headlining show. Madonna performed with Sabrina and Geena played an adult version of her.

Geena took to Instagram and posted the photo with this caption: "Mae - so happy to see you again! Love, Dottie"

"Yes" I saw A League Of Their Own in theaters, and "Yes" I enjoy the movie and being that it was a big hit the nostalgia factor for those who were there is strong with this reunion, IYKYK.

TGIF!

"This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need of a friend
Why did it have to end?
And why do they always say?" - Madonna, This Used To Be My Playground from A League Of Their Own

Michael's Musings

"You've Just Crossed Over Into...The Twilight Zone"
Michael Shinafelt

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone" - Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone

Your clothes are making me uncomfortable. Please take them off.

Just looking for love. And a million dollars. Maybe a taco. And some tequila. The more you know...

Seeing Madonna and Geena Davis reunite at Coachella is in a league of it's own
