It’s fun to watch game shows on TV, because we all know we can do better. We’re obviously smarter and more athletic than any of the contestants, right? Well, maybe not, but watch as this woman takes forever to get set up to play The Price Is Right’s Hole In One game, flubs her first shot, and does something remarkable at the end.

The Ed Sheeran $2 Peep Show Experiment Is A Gem To Watch

If someone tells you that for $2 you can have Ed Sheeran play for you privately in a booth, they’re lying. Unless that someone was Ed Sheeran last Friday.

Band Makes Song And Video Out Of Every Instrument They Can Find

0

Pink Floyd once attempted to make an entire album out of kitchen utensils, and quickly abandonded the idea once they realized it wasn’t very good to be begin with. Enter Wintergatan, the Swedish band, who find anything, and everything they can get their hands on, to create a song and video. Wait, come back! It’s much better than anyone has a right to expect, especially with their vital spark that fuels their creative spirit.

You Can Make A Guitar Out Of Cardboard

The all-important guitar is a tough instrument to play, and even tougher to build. Cardboard Chaos riffs on a new idea…Rock out with your cardboard stock out! Watch the guys work with a master builder at the Fender Custom Shop to see if paper has the ability to handle the look, feel and sound of one of the world’s most recognizable guitars, the Fender Stratocaster. A master builder can make just about anything look good, but will it sound good? Will it have tone and will it be able to handle the heat and get approval from one who rocks for a living in one of the most ass kicking bands of the last two decades, Linkin Park?

The Top 25 Concerts By Grosses In 2015

0

As the sun began to set on Chicago’s Soldier Field, the positive vibe was palpable as more than 70,000 fans — most of them clutching American Beauty roses — settled in for arguably the most highly-anticipated shows of 2015: the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well 50th anniversary concerts.

As ever, the fortunes of the concert industry are driven by who is touring, and the business fielded some of its biggest stars in 2015. Pop sensations One Direction put the caps on one of the biggest two-year runs in history, Taylor Swift (arguably the biggest star on the planet) topped even 1D in 2015, and box office titans including U2, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Kenny Chesney, AC/DC, and Madonna were all on the road this year. Billy Joel’s sold-out run as a “franchise” act at New York’s Madison Square Garden easily would have been the No. 1 Boxscore of 2015 in a “normal” year, taking in $26.3 million from 12 performances within the time frame Boxscore tracked. Swift, whose 1989 tour was the highest-grossing trek of 2015, has seven entries among the Top 25 Boxscores, more than any act.

You Can Still Get Your Free Star Wars Edition Google Cardboard

0

The Star Wars: Force Awakens train is a rollin’ and Google has gotten involved in a few different ways. One was by offering a special edition Google Cardboard in four Star Wars limited edition themes in Verizon stores on December 2nd. They were handed out to Verizon customers for free, but I was told that a lot of stores ran out.

Welp. If you want one, you can still get one. For free. Just order it through the Google Play store (US only). You don’t even have to pay for shipping.

In case you aren’t sure of what this thing is or does, Google Cardboard lets you drop your iPhone or Android phone into it and lets you view 360 degree videos and photos quite nicely.
