Witness For The Prosecution

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Pssst! I heard the Trump administration has a star witness up their sleeve in the 8647 (ludicrous) case against James B Comey.

Why it's none other than Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

You'd better watch your back Comey...lol!

"Don't come closer

Saw Mother Mary last Friday, loved it! It got under my skin and into my psyche, I can't stop thinking about it.

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.
