Rod Serling Day celebrates the life of Binghamton's favorite son
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Fifth graders from all seven Binghamton elementary schools celebrated the legacy of the city's favorite son on Friday. Rod Serling Day had a different format this year, being held at Horace Mann Elementary because of its proximity to Rec Park. As in previous years, Serling's daughter Anne was the guest of honor, and she recounted to the children her memories of her famous father, especially focusing on his sense of humor. Leading up to the day, the fifth graders learned about classic Twilight Zone episodes and their underlying messages supporting compassion and tolerance. 'I feel that this is and my father would have felt that this is one of his greatest accolades, that fifth grade students are learning about the messages of the Twilight Zone, which I feel we need now more than ever. I'm so honored, as my Dad would have been, that these teachers do such a tremendous job and these kids are so great,' said Anne. After the assembly inside the school, the children went to Rec Park to participate in a variety of stations. They learned about the new bronze statue of Serling that was installed last year, Binghamton High School students did a staged reading of one of his famous Twilight Zone episodes, and the kids got to ride the same carousel that Serling once did. The day ended with a picnic lunch.

The post Styx Announce New Album Circling from Above, Unveil Lead Single 'Build and Destroy': Stream appeared first on Consequence. Styx have announced their 18th studio album, Circling from Above, and have released the lead single, 'Build and Destroy.' The album arrives everywhere July 18th, but fans can score a vinyl/CD copy early at Styx's merch table starting Wednesday (May 28th) at the band's tour kickoff show in Greenville, South Carolina, or via their online shop.

Get Styx Tickets Here Circling from Above marks the first Styx album since 2021 and boasts 13 tracks spanning 41 minutes. It features contributions from all seven members of the band, including founding guitarist/vocalist James 'JY' Young, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, original bassist Chuck Panozzo, longtime drummer Todd Sucherman, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, guitarist/vocalist Will Evankovich, and bassist Terry Gowan. The LP's first teaser, 'Build and Destroy,' sees the band settling into a groovy prog boogie that showcases an abundance of instrumentation and Styx's signature vocal harmonizing. Gowan, who sings leads on the track, elaborated on the recording in a press release, explaining that it came together in just a day and a half, late in the album sessions. 'That little melody, I kept singing 'Build and Destroy,'' Gowan said. 'Even though we don't sing over that part, I kept thinking that would be a good title. It's thematic. The melody feels like a little 'Star Trek' or 'Twilight Zone' thing — just a small tag that reinforces the title.' He added, 'We knew it was strong. Even though it was the second-to-last song we finished, it felt like a quick way into the album's overall theme.' Limited vinyl/CD copies are available for purchase via Styx's online store, ahead of the July 18th digital release. Stream 'Build and Destroy' and see the artwork and tracklist below.

Should we be buying pennis? And why did card company's choke on 'The Choke'?
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) makes a choke motion towards the New York Knicks after hitting a shot at the end of the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the NBA basketball Eastern Conference final, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) If you're like me, you hear something is being discontinued and you immediately ask 'should I hurry up and buy some?' Enter The Penny. I'm old enough to remember the thrill of finding a wheat penny in our tub of change at home. I knew it was always worth a little more than an actual penny, but at the end of the day, how much are we really talking? 10 cents? Eventually it just got filed under 'a cool thing to see every once in a while.' Like a buffalo nickel. As an adult, I now buy rolls of wheat pennies off eBay to bury in my lawn and use its copper properties to ward off mushrooms . The innocence of youth, now gone in the name of protecting plants that might produce seven cherry tomatoes this summer. Advertisement I guess this is less of a collector story than it is a paean to the penny. Am I running to buy more wheat pennies? No. Yes. You'll see. But I will miss the little guys, and I will definitely grab a handful of the final printing for my progeny to throw away one day, 100 years from now. This leads us, of course, to the triumphant return of 'Three Things I'm Buying This Week.' Let's get weird. 1. Rolls of wheat pennies ($17 for 100) There's a surprisingly large amount of 97-98% positive ebay sellers in the 'wheat penny roll' search results (this is a bad thing, for those new to buying off the platform). All I can tell you is I bought rolls twice from this person and they were great. Am I buying for nostalgia? Stocking up for a run on pennies as their end draws near? Have I simply planted more tomatoes? A Fickle never tells! 2. Rod Serling autographed check ($ 259-ish ) Call me old fashioned, but a holiday doesn't feel right if there isn't a Twilight Zone marathon. You sit there and watch episode after episode and realize how great of a show it was. Consistently. And the guy behind it all? Rod Serling. So the natural next step is, of course, to find old canceled checks from the 70s written out to random businesses. I feel like prices spiked for a bit but have settled down to about $250. Which now seems like a deal. Advertisement I have bought a few canceled checks in my time, and they all focus more on Pretty Cool People From History and not so much 'I can flip this for double the price in a couple years.' The check is an intimate piece of times past! People paying their phone bill and stuff. It feels noble to buy but weird to re-sell. 3. Topps 'I Am Your Father's Day' set ($ 15-50 on eBay ) If you order now you'll get what I consider the perfect Father's Day gift for the Star Wars fan in your life. There were two sets made — in 2020 and 2021. It was a brilliant play on words and some of the pairings were inspired. I have a calendar reminder every year to 'check for Father's Day cards' just in case they bring them back. One thing I'm not buying A Tyrese Haliburton choke 2.0 instant card— because nobody made one Read the room, people! A Pope 'instant' card sold a billion copies two weeks ago. You have an iconic tribute to the most famous choke gesture in sports, on a giant stage…and nothing. Well not nothing — there were custom art cards. And t-shirts. But there are cards available from the most trite of moments this postseason; why a Haliburton card hasn't been made yet remains a mystery. Alright friends! I am out of here. Time to awkwardly shove more pennies into my dirt. And that is not a euphemism! Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.

Ariana Grande's Album Cut May Finally Be Receiving The Attention It Deserves
At the moment, Ariana Grande is still promoting her current single, 'Twilight Zone,' which reaches new people every day. The tune serves as the focus track from the deluxe reissue of her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, which she refers to as Brighter Days Ahead. The cut is still performing fairly well at pop radio and growing its audience, but Grande may soon shift her attention to another track — an older one — as there appears to be genuine interest surrounding it. 'Supernatural,' an album cut featured on Eternal Sunshine, returns to one Billboard chart this week. It reappears at No. 146 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., the tally that ranks the most consumed songs around the world, excluding all streaming and purchasing activity from the U.S. The tune has only spent five frames on the list, and while it previously peaked at No. 24, the fact that it's back at all suggests there may be some heat behind the pop composition. Grande's team may have anticipated this surge — or it may be a coincidence — as the singer recently released a music video for the track. The visual isn't completely new, but is made up of scenes from her Brighter Days Ahead short film, which debuted at the same time as the deluxe edition release. In just a few days, the 'Supernatural' treatment amassed nearly two million views. Following the release of the 'Supernatural' video, it's entirely possible that the track will rise in consumption in the coming week or two. The tune could climb on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. once again and may even find its way back to the Billboard Global 200 as well. That tally does include American streams and sales, and YouTube plays factor into where a song lands. While 'Supernatural' is the more exciting of the pair, 'Twilight Zone' remains the Grande single receiving proper promotion at the moment. The track debuts on the Radio Songs chart, hitting Billboard's list of the most successful tunes across all American radio stations. It opens at No. 42, giving the Grammy winner her milestone thirtieth placement on the ranking. Simultaneously, it lifts to a new all-time peak of No. 28 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally and holds at No. 16 on the Pop Airplay list, matching its previously set high point.

Elementary students join Mayor Kraham for first carousel ride of the season
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – In a classic sign that summer is coming, the Rec Park merry-go-round took its official first spin Tuesday morning. In keeping with tradition, students from nearby Horace Mann Elementary joined the Binghamton Mayor to inaugurate the season. Students waited their turn to ride on the carousel that, several years ago, was refurbished to include some images that pay homage to Binghamton native and Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. Mayor Jared Kraham hopped on a horse to ride alongside the kids. Fourth grader Everett Rabideau says he prefers the gentle spin of a carousel over the intensity of a roller coaster. 'I think it's cool because we're right there, and every time at recess we get to come to the park. Sometimes, they'll let us go on the carousel if it's open. I think it's cool that we get the first opportunity to go on the carousel,' said Rabideau. Five of our area's six carousels should be back in action this weekend as they traditionally open on Memorial Day Weekend. The Ross Park carousel in Binghamton is still being refurbished. Each municipality sets its own schedule, which can often be found online.
