Today is the last day of Pride Month let us end it on a high note, so to speak with the one the only Madonna!
The Queen of Pop dropped this iconic line during an interview with Graham Norton. Kylie Minogue was along for the ride as well.
"Maybe We're All Gay"
Needless to say it quickly became a viral meme.
Some food for thought as we usher out the month of Pride.
A friendly reminder the month may be over but Pride is all year long.

They say revenge is a dish served cold...at least the signage states that things are frosty in this image. Well it looks to me like there is no revenge happening in this photo and it's anything but cold, in fact it's smoking hot!!!
The hot twosome here is one Gillian Anderson and one Hannah Einbinder in a publicity photo for their upcoming sapphic horror yarn Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma directed by indie darling Jane Schoenbrun. The tale was a huge hit at the Cannes Film Festival and hits theaters August 7th.
I'm really excited to see this one and can't wait! In the meantime we'll have to make do with being teased by these sexy photos of the two leads
Sigh...

| Adrienne Barbeau & Friend "The Crate" |
Hello Monday...
The look on Adrienne Barbeau's face in the segment "The Crate" from Creepshow a horror anthology Directed by George A Romero circa 1982 illustrates how most people feel about today, Monday.
On a personal note Mondays really don't hold any particular weight with me as a day of the week. But for those of you it does I get why.
Here's what "The Crate" is about:
The Crate: Based on another Stephen King story, this fan-favorite segment follows a timid college professor (Fritz Weaver) who discovers a ravenous, ancient monster trapped inside an old crate beneath the university stairs and uses it to deal with his demanding, abusive wife (Adrienne Barbeau).
Have a great week and be weary of any crates you might come across...

Here's a meme of Marilyn Monroe with matching dialogue straight outta one of my favorite films of all time Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot.
On top of being quite funny Some Like It Hot is also very subversive. Marilyn steals the movie as Sugar Kane a singer and ukulele player in an all girl band.
What could be better than classic Marilyn Monroe on a Saturday? I ask you? I'm waiting...

Here is a photo I shot of a mural promoting Olivia Rodrigo's latest album "You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love" in Hollywood, CA
So are you enjoying her latest? I know I am.
Olivia is officially the most bad ass Gen Z artist out there to me because of her duet with Robert Smith of The Cure "What's Wrong With Me."
"Went to the doctor and she said I was fine
But every movie that I see makes me cry
It's like somebody put a weight on my chest
I should talk to a friend
But I can't get out of bed
My head is spinning and my stomach is sick
Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I think you're what's wrong with me"
Mic Drop!!!

Saw this while walking to my local 7-11 in front of DeSano Pizzeria in my hood. The juxtaposition is what caught my attention.
Let's face it, one of these things is not like the other. DeSano Pizza isn't trash at all, it's delicious!
How this ended up in front of the Pizzeria is beyond me, so I simply accepted it and moved on.
Carry on, as you were...

David Archuleta’s evolution as a person and artist are on full display with his latest music offering, “Love For Free” where he taps into the themes of growth through duality. “Love For Free” finds David getting lost in the upbeat energy of the music while gently shedding the layers of his past that have been brought to light this year with the release of his New York Times bestselling memoir, DEVOUT HERE and embracing who he has become today in 2026. The release will also feature an additional new track, “Better Than You,” both songs HERE produced by LEVÉ.
“Love For Free” is about knowing your worth, not dealing with games anymore and setting boundaries. You learn and grow, and this is blossoming into someone who realizes they're not messing with other people unless it's time well spent and with people who have the right intentions and value you as a person. While “Better Than You” is a song about reminiscing. Nostalgia of a beautiful time that once was. It's also acknowledging the delusional way of seeing someone, only highlighting the brighter days and moments, and not the ugly side and toxic dynamic that may have existed. You still can't help but miss whatever it was. Even if it isn't true how you see it in your head vs how it actually was. Says David
LEVÉ shares ““Love For Free” comes from a very real place in David's life, surrounding both family and friendly connections. At its core, it’s all about self-worth and boundaries. It’s a pretty bold way of refining your own standards in any relationship without getting too deep. To me, the song is very fun, and I’m excited to see the energy it brings to David’s catalog.”

If Democrats were truly "rigging" elections, Donald Trump wouldn't be sitting his ass in the White House for a second time.
He claims our elections are crooked, yet he was elected "President" every accusation is an admission.

Southern California melodic punk band CHASER return with Gonna Be Alright, a new 2-song 7” arriving May 29, 2026. Featuring a reimagined version of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds” alongside a newly reworked version of the fan-favorite “My Promise,” the release captures the uplifting spirit and emotional sincerity that have become central to the band’s identity.
While the band is still working toward its next full-length album, Gonna Be Alright serves as a special release created to bridge the gap before an extensive summer touring run across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Vinyl copies of the 7” will be available exclusively at CHASER live shows.
“We are so excited to share this release,” the band says. “While we’re not quite ready for a new full-length yet, we wanted to put something really cool out before our tours this summer. These songs came out amazing and we know people are going to sing along with them at the shows.”
The first single, CHASER’s energetic punk interpretation of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” is out now. Built around soaring melodies, driving rhythms, and the band’s trademark emotional urgency, the track preserves the optimism and warmth of the original while giving it a fresh melodic punk energy.

“When my son was born, the first song I sang to him in the hospital was Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds,’” says bassist Jesse Stopnitzky. “So we reimagined it as an upbeat punk rock version, adding our thumbprint while preserving its message of positivity, hope, and unity, which are the ethos of our band and live shows. Built for summer, this high-energy nostalgic singalong is a feel-good reminder that everything’s gonna be alright. It seems we can all use some good vibes right now.”
The second track, “My Promise,” arrives May 29 alongside the official release of the 7”. Originally appearing as an acoustic song on the band’s 2010 album The Big Picture, the song has been transformed into a soaring melodic punk anthem while maintaining its deeply personal core.
“I wrote ‘My Promise’ for my daughter when she was born in 2006,” explains vocalist Mike LeDonne. “It’s a heartfelt song about protecting the ones you love and always being there to guide them through life. Twenty years later, this reimagined melodic punk version captures a new perspective on parenthood. The lyrics and message are as pure today as they were then.”
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paul Miner at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange, California, Gonna Be Alright also showcases visually striking artwork from two celebrated artists in the punk scene: Mark De Salvo and Samuel Lucas. Each side of the 7” features completely different artistic styles while remaining connected through themes of hope, light, and positivity.
“We wanted the artwork to feel completely different from each other stylistically, while still capturing the same emotional thread,” says the band.
For “My Promise,” Mark De Salvo created a hand-painted canvas piece using warm colors against a darker palette to reflect the song’s heartfelt emotional weight. Meanwhile, Samuel Lucas brought bright, vibrant tropical imagery to “Three Little Birds,” capturing the uplifting spirit of the song while subtly paying homage to the original music video by depicting the wolf and pig as allies rather than enemies.
Homegrown in the heart of Southern California, CHASER — comprised of Mike LeDonne (vocals), Jesse Stopnitzky (bass/vocals), Bill Hockmuth (guitar), and Davey Guy (drums) — have spent years building a reputation as one of melodic punk’s most positive and emotionally resonant live acts. Since 2018, the band has toured extensively throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States, appearing at major festivals including Brakrock Eco Fest, Music 4 Cancer, Envol Macadam, Jera On Air, Punk Rock Holiday, and Punk In The Park, while completing multiple headline tours overseas.
Known for their uplifting and unifying performances, CHASER continue to connect with audiences across punk, hardcore, metal, and rock through songs rooted in resilience, sincerity, and community spirit.
With Gonna Be Alright, the band delivers exactly what its title promises: a timely reminder of hope, connection, and finding light through music together.
