In a different world, today we would have been attending the Cruel World festival today. Sigh. With that, here is today’s daily dose …

ONLINE FIND

■ While patronizing a “virtual club” Friday night, we heard the DJ spin Kaiser Chiefs’ “I Predict a Riot.” It caused us to wonder, “What are those guys up to?” — and it turns out that in April they posted this “Stay at Home” version of one of their biggest hits, “Oh My God.” The lyrical revisions are all appropos … and, of course, just hearing the song brought back memories of the U.K. band’s appearances at Coachella. In both 2007 and 2012, they closed their set with “Oh My God,” and fine shout-alongs were had.

The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.

DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.

Amoeba Music has started a GoFundMe to help their three stores (their flagship Berkeley, San Francisco, and relocating Hollywood locations) which have been shuttered since mid-March. More info and donations accepted here.
