Start At The Beginning.

Fake news. Thanks to everyone blindly liking and sharing things on Facebook based on nothing more than headlines — without reading them first, or at all – it’s a growing concern. A big combatant of the phenomenon is the Saved You a Click guy. And clicking on things. And reading things first. Or ever.

A much less important concern in the world is boredom. And helping you fight that for nearly five years now is us. Just keep clicking on posts like this one that boasts headlines like “Things to Do.” And read them. And then share them. — Cory Graves

But everything does seem like it’s a few BPM faster than past releases, if only slightly, and thus adds the faintest hint of urgency to these always tasty proceedings. Catch it live along with fellow heavy-focused act Nothing here. — CG

Nonpoint, Escape the Fate at Trees
Escape the Fate is a hard rock band that manages to not be hard in any sense, so I guess in a way, that’s pretty impressive. Nonpoint also performs. — Paul Wedding

Pitch Perfect at Alamo Drafthouse (Cedars)
You’ve already seen it enough that you’ve memorized the dumb flippy cup percussion thing. But you might not have seent it with an Anna Kendrick live stream being piped into the theater. — CG

Dallas Stands with Standing Rock 2 at Energy Transfer Partners
Ever wonder how Kelcy Warren got himself enough scratch to buy his kid’s name onto a park?
