WEDNESDAY 6/11  Finn Wolfhard: The Objection! Tour (MUSIC) The kids of Stranger Things are a talented bunch: Millie Bobby Brown has her own fashion and beauty lines, Gaten Matarazzo stars in Broadway musicals, and Joe Keery sells out venues with his synthpop project Djo (ok, he's 10 years older than the rest of them).

Immersion Networks' existence now hangs in the balance, with an auction of its hardware and software being held June 10-17.

Every day, I sift through the hundreds of tracks that bombard my inbox. On a biweekly basis, I tell you about the two artists whose music most impressed me. This time, it's Chicago's Hieroglyphic Being's acid-house renovations and Seattle quintet Dining Dead's acerbic art rock. Hieroglyphic Being, “I'm in a Strange Loop” (Smalltown Supersound) Chicago producer Hieroglyphic Being (aka Jamal Moss) has been making spines tingle, skulls vibrate, and asses move for nearly 30 years.
