Pitchfork Music Festival co-founder launches new Chicago event Sound and Gravity
Many fans were heartbroken when they learned Pitchfork Music festival was leaving Chicago for good after 19 years.
But now one of the festival's co-founders is working on a new event featuring a wide range of musical genres.
Mike Reed organized Sound and Gravity to run from Sept. 10 through 14. Instead of being concentrated on several stages in a park, like the Pitchfork festival, was, the new festival will span multiple venues including Constellation, Hungry Brain, Judson & Moore, Beat Kitchen, Guild Row and Rockwell on the River.
Sound and Gravity will feature 48 musical acts spanning a diverse range of genres including experimental, contemporary classical, jazz and indie.
This is the first major event from Reed since Pitchfork Music Festival. You can find more information, a full lineup, and purchase tickets at soundandgravity.org.

Trump's Golden Dome Creates Opening for Space Force to Gain Relevance
By and Sana Pashankar Save Five years after its formation during President Donald Trump's first administration prompted jokes about the Star Trek-style logo and inspired a Netflix Inc. sitcom with Steve Carell, the US Space Force is still looking for respect. 'Many people don't even understand the Space Force is real,' General Michael Guetlein, the agency's vice chief of space operations, told a Washington area conference in March. 'That was a luxury that we had when space wasn't contested. We no longer enjoy that luxury.'

Adam Sandler to cast Ravens RB Derrick Henry in movie if he rushes for 2,000 yards in 2025
We've seen plenty of sports stars make movie cameos throughout the years, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 'Airplane!' to Dan Marino in 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' and finally Michael Jordan and a plethora of NBA stars in the iconic 'Space Jam.' And we could see another one soon thanks to a bet between Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and actor Adam Sandler. Henry, who is a self-professed superfan of Sandler's work, agreed to a wager during an appearance on 'The Dan Patrick Show' where if he reaches 2,000 rushing yards in the 2025 season, Patrick would get the running back in a film alongside Sandler. Henry agreed to the proposal and the veteran sportscaster reached out to his friend Sandler. In response, the 'Uncut Gems' and 'Happy Gilmore' star sent a personal video for Henry which was shown to the 31-year-old at practice. 'Yo, Derrick, I just woke up. You know that, that's why I look disgusting, on top of the fact that I am disgusting, but I love ya. Congrats on everything, baby,' Sandler said to Henry. '2,000-plus (yards) this year not only gets you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner together and talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is for him to grow it.I love ya and keep it up.' Henry replied to the video on social media afterwards, saying: 'Dan you're a real one! Adam Sandler is da (GOAT)!! I appreciate the extra motivation!' Henry has already surpassed the 2,000 rushing yards mark in a season before, doing so in 2020 when he ran for 2,027 yards while with the Tennessee Titans. Last season, Henry finished just 79 yards short of 2,000 yards, finishing with 1,921 in his first season with the Baltimore Ravens. He is one of just nine running backs ever to reach the milestone and would become the first ever player to do it twice if he was to do it again. Earlier this offseason, Henry signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Ravens. And despite being one of the older running backs in the league, he says he's not concerned about his age. 'I want to be great,' Henry told. 'No matter how good it is or how bad it is, I'm always focused on me trying to get better each and every day and each and every way I can. I think, for you to be great, you have to focus on being consistent. You got to outwork everybody and that's the approach I have to take. 'I love football. I love playing. I know people look at the age, but I don't really try to focus on that. I just focus on: how can Derrick Henry be better? How can Derrick Henry help the Ravens get to where they want to get to?'
