This is the **Original Upload**. The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) was the first to upload this bit of freaky Chicago TV history to YouTube in 2006 under our former account name. Visit the main site for more discussion and analysis of this oddity. During a broadcast of the Dr. Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" on WTTW Chicago Channel 11, on Sunday November 22nd, 1987, at around 11:15pm, a Video "Pirate" wearing a Max Headroom mask broke into the signal and transmitted one of the weirdest, unauthorized things ever to hit the Chicago airwaves. Earlier in the evening on the same day, during the Nine O'Clock News on Channel 9 (Yes, a completely different channel) the Max Headroom Pirate also broke in - although it was for a much shorter time and there was no ...

The Wave Swinger ride at the #Chicago #Navypier, shot on the #iPhone6 in 240 fps, then slowed back down to 30 fps. This was my first time trying slow motion settings, and I must say: videos have a very creepy sound at these speeds. Video by Justin Lauschin.
Subscribe to Mass Appeal here: http://goo.gl/LqG3wZ Anderson .Paak unknowingly foreshadowed one hell of a ride last year on 2014’s Venice. The album’s first track, aptly titled “Waves” has sounds of the Pacific Ocean crashing onto the shore of Venice Beach in his native California. Paak also included a clip of renowned surfer Miki Dora (RIP) talking about what it feels like to ride a huge wave. We’re pretty certain that Paak can relate: Six production and vocal credits collectively on Dr. Dre’s Compton album have the artist formerly known as Breezy Lovejoy riding on top of a wave of buzz and opportunity that is arguably unparalleled this year. Last week, he teamed up with Chicago/L.A. production duo Blended Babies to release The Anderson .Paak EP. Working with L.A. producer Knxwledge, th...

Have you seen a FIAT 500 riding the waves near your town? They've been turning up and turning heads all over the country this summer! Our fans got to see the aquatic Cinquecentos in Miami, Chicago, Long Beach, Huntington Beach, even at a ball game in San Francisco. So, where do you think we should go next?

A mural in a private home in Chicago, this was a dreamy project. 2 fast days of near-complete freedom thematically, completely unrestrained stylistically, and a perfect monochrome palette that let the linework flow like water (see what I did there? 😛) The space was a two room bathroom, with nice tall ceilings. The chalkboard greenish grey color translates great from theory to practice for the wall color!
Want to drive for Lyft but don't have a new enough car — or a car at all? General Motors and Lyft announced Tuesday morning a new program called Express Drive that will "soon" make GM vehicle rentals, specifically Chevy Equinox, available to Lyft drivers in the Chicago, Illinois area. The rental fee, which importantly includes insurance and maintenance, starts at $99 per week. However, if the driver clocks more than 65 rides per week, that fee is waved. "In Chicago alone, there were 60,000 people who applied to drive on the Lyft platform, but did not have a car that qualified. Express Drive directly addresses this need for millions of Americans who do not have access to a qualifying vehicle." http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable/~3/bhPFbk-3V8A/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produ...

MOTOR ACE
RIDE THE WAVE
daylight pulls me into shape
a lucid dream, was I awake
common sense had made you keep
but common sense won't help you sleep
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna go, oh
Ride the wave that takes you places
you've just gone
Ride the wave and sail further from home
Wish I could find a place much
deeper than this room
We'll ride the wave
coz there is too much to lose.
night time pulls me out of shape
a lifetime waiting don't be late
sitting around has made me feel irrelevant
and my mind won't still
and I don't wanna know
and I don't wanna go
Ride the wave that takes you places
you've just gone
Ride the wave and sail further from home
Wish I could find a place much
deeper than this room
We'll ride the wave
coz there is too much to lose.
ride the wave
when you roll is when i go
ride the wave
when you roll is when i go
ohh, yeahhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh
ohh, yeahhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh
ohh, yeahhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh
ohh, yeahhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhh.
