Rumor: Are Bill Burr and Billy Corgan Brothers? Seriously.

Nov 28, 2024 | xreddeer.com | Chad McDonald

On a recent podcast with comedian Howie Mandel, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan was asked if he had ever noticed the physical similarities between himself and comedian Bill Burr. His answer was kind of shocking. Corgan said “Most of my friends don’t even know this story. About 10 years ago, one of my brothers was having a birthday party, and my stepmother was there, who was obviously married to my father. And my stepmother said to me, ‘Do you know who Bill Burr is?
There Could Be Human Pee In Your Cologne Or Perfume

Christmas time is always a popular time for fragrances. They make great gifts and stocking stuffers. Bet let’s face it…they’re expensive. This could lead you into some shady alley or website to buy a cheap black market knock-off. In the end, you may save money. But, you could be spritzing human urine all over yourself. “Experts” are warning that traces of human urine have been found in several samples of counterfeit fragrances. Of course, that comes with all sorts of bacteria and microorganisms.
The Band Ghost Says Put Your Phones Away! No seriously. We’re Forcing You!

Oct 29, 2024 | xreddeer.com | Chad McDonald

A rock show is an escape. A place to go to immerse yourself in the experience and forget about what’s happening out in the world. However, phones ruin that. It’s an umbilical cord to the problems outside the venue. You can’t escape work texts, stupid posts your Uncle puts on Facebook, and the urge to post photos and videos of what you’re experiencing. There’s no living in the now man. Well, Ghost is handling it. Tobias Forge and his Swedish rockers have announced a world tour.
I Love Yacht Rock And I Will Fight Anyone Who Criticizes It

Oct 24, 2024 | xreddeer.com | Chad McDonald

“Yacht Rock” is defined as “a style of smooth, tuneful rock music popular especially in the US in the late 1970s and early 1980s.”. Just in case you didn’t know. Now that we’re all on the same page, let me make it very clear, I’m yacht rock for life. I envision a bunch of long haired folk in leisure wear on a sailboat in the Florida Keys, nosed piled full of cocaine, erratically telling each other ideas they have to start a clothing line exclusive to dogs.

“Saturday Night” is new in theatres this weekend and it looks amazing. The biopic follows the chaos surrounding the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of “Saturday Night Live”. You’ll recognize a few faces, but the cast is relatively unknown, leaving a somewhat blank canvas to portray these massive personalities. The director, however is very well known. Jason Reitman takes the reins on this one.

The Sleep Apnea Chronicles: Part 2

Sep 12, 2024 | xreddeer.com | Chad McDonald

So, I have the machine. It now sits next to my bed on a nightstand. Fancy little thing. My CPAP machine (technically APAP) looks like a video game console. For some reason, I expected the thing to have some sort of giant lung or to look like one of those old timey fire billows people would use to make sure their fire stays burning. Nope. Just a little thing, not much bigger than an alarm clock. The hose however is a pain in my ass. I don’t know where to put the thing. Do I hang it above my head?
Edmonton, You Need A New Stadium

Aug 27, 2024 | xreddeer.com | Chad McDonald

I know this is no secret. Many have been lobbying for old Commonwealth to be replaced for some time. But…I think more people need to be lobbying. For what is was, Commonwealth was a great venue for it’s time. First off, it’s huge. When it comes to the economics of it, it makes sense for bands to stop there. They will get bang for their buck. However, many things about it are an absolute nightmare.
