Sublime....Now and Then...

2011-08-02T14:27:00.000-07:00

15 years ago, Sublime released their Self Title album...and most of us haven't been able to get enough since. I cannot put into words how happy I was when I heard that the original members were teaming up with a new singer and fond memories of Bradley to form the new Sublime with Rome...the new album "Yours Truly" is available now....and while you open another window to order the tunes, check out this rare music video for "Same in the End"...

... A part of the Everything Under the Sun Box Set .

I Quit!!!

2011-07-28T14:17:00.000-07:00

I hereby give my resignation to 99.5 The Rocket and am going to pursue a life-long dream as a geltato maker....

YOU WISH!!!!

But...in case I get canned in the near future, I'm keeping it as a back-up plan. A fattening and yet of-so-satisfying back-up plan!

A new University based in Italy has already enrolled nearly 12,000 students from around the world for their first ever Gelato Courses! They learn traditional gelato making techniques (which could never hurt with the ladies, guys...) and are also given training in marketing and management so they can be successful in running their own shops in the future. Here's the link below if you feel like getting some skills of your own...or if you wish to generously sponsor my Italian Vacation and life threatening Gelato binge.

Slipknot Bassist Found Dead in Iowa Hotel....

2010-05-24T14:12:00.000-07:00

This is the most reliable source I've been able to find so far.......See the full story HERE

According to the Des Moines Register, Urbandale, Iowa police are investigating the death of SLIPKNOT's bass guitarist at a local hotel.

Paul Dedrick Gray, 38, of Johnston was found dead at approximately 10:50 a.m. today by an employee at TownePlace Suites (pictured below), 8800 Northpark Drive, police said.

There was no evidence of foul play, police said.

According to KCCI.com, the Polk County Medical Examiner's Office is assisting in the death investigation and will perform an autopsy on Tuesday. Toxicology testing will be completed to determine if there were any contributing factors in the death of Gray, police said.

Witnesses reported that items from the hotel room were carried out of the hotel around 2 p.m.

Gray was born in Los Angeles, California, and later moved to Des Moines.

Wikipedia shows that Gray has been married for two years to GodsGirls' Brenna Paul and has a tattoo of her name on his knuckles.

In a December 2009 posting on his MySpace page, Gray revealed that his wife was pregnant with the couple's first child. "I am the happiest man on the face of the earth — literally!" he wrote. He added, "This has been the best Christmas I have ever had!"

Back in 2003, authorities agreed to drop drug possession charges against Paul Gray in exchange for Gray's acknowledgement that he was on drugs when he was involved in a minor traffic accident (Story#1, Story#2) in the summer of 2003 in Des Moines.

Des Moines police arrested Gray on June 1, 2003 after his car collided with a car at Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Carpenter Avenue.

A police report at the time said Gray "had impaired balance, slurred and dull speech, and extremely sleepy and dull behavior."

Shannon's New Shirt....

2010-05-19T15:43:00.000-07:00

Shannon Ellis. Midday rocker. "The Man of a Thousand Tongues" as Jack puts it (makes me blush even typing that name...lol). And wearer of PLAID. Every day. Really. Now, I'm not knockin' Shannon at all. He always looks quite nice. But this morning I was joking with him about how I was one day going to buy him a polka dot shirt. He replied, "Only if has pink dots!" Then....I found this...muwahahahahaha!

Oh yes Shannon. I've put it on lay-away. Expect it soon:) Can't wait to see ya wearing it around the office:) muwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

iPad Still Sounds Like a Maxi Pad To Me..

2010-05-17T14:01:00.000-07:00

So I'm at home on my lunch, grubbin' some grub and watching the boob tube, as is my usual routine. When the new iPad commercial comes on. I never even looked up, but based on the first 3 lines on the script, I could have sworn I was watching a Maxi Pad commercial! See for yourself....

I think this was invented just for me....

2010-05-11T14:46:00.000-07:00

So if you are addicted to caffiene like I am....it just seems like we can never get enough!!! I swear if i try to skip the java in the mornings, I am pretty much saying "I don't feel like functioning at all today." That's where this little bar of perfection kicks in, and I'm convinced it was inveneted just for me:)
Shower Shock has about 200 milligrams of caffeine per shower....which is just enough of a jolt to kick start your day. You absorb the caffeine through your skin as you lather up. Effing genius I tell you!!!! You can get it at ThinkGeek.com.

No Means No.....

2010-05-06T13:33:00.000-07:00

Rough sex. Hey, it works for some people. But maybe not all the time....I wanted to use this story for our Stupid Criminal of the Day....but I dunno. Just doesn't quite fit, ya know? Anyway...

Robert Cline III of Florida likes rough sex. But even the roughest can be outdone! See, Rob and his wife Anita are separated, working on a divorce. But they still get together every Monday for some casual give and take. Well, this past Monday didn't go as smoothly as it usually did. Anita told Rob he was getting too rough. And Rob made the worst mistake a man can ever make, he laughed her off and kept going. So Anita grabbed a gun and put it to his chest. Rob took this as foreplay. Anita shot Rob.

I guess you could say Rob is still stiff....in the morgue. Anita is awaiting her trial.

World's Oldest Person Dies....Again....

2010-05-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

Only a few weeks ago I reported to you that the world's oldest person had died. Well, its happened again. Think about it....when the world's oldest person croaks, there's always another person who becomes the oldest. And apparently its not a very long standing gig for anyone!

Kama Chinen of Okinawa, Japan passed away just one week shy of her 115th birthday.

But now the title of "World's Oldest" belongs to Frenchie Eugenie Blanchard.

Haha! This whole "World's Oldest" stuff is the equivalent of poking an old fart at a funeral and saying "you're next!"

Gotta love it;)

May is Masturbation Month!!!!

2010-05-04T15:56:00.000-07:00

Give yourself a hand!!!! May is national Masturbation Month!!!! And man, I'm all for it:) So let's talk about a little self-induced hanky-panky. In this day and age there are tons of way to do it, and get away with it! Dr. Susan block is assuring jerk-offs that there is nothing wrong with loving yourself, "Its educational, it teaches you about your body." And apparently all that self-love you've been giving yourself keeps you healthy too!!! Our dirty doc says that orgasms are a natural decongestant! So if you've got the sniffles, diddle away! And ladies, headaches can be cure by the big O as well.

Need a little motivation for your self-lovin'??

There is now a high-tech sex toy that made even me blush! The RealTouch is a sex simulation device that goes on a guys member, then it takes its orders from specially-encoded videos you can get online, and simulates that sensations you see online! Wow. I'm just tingling with anticipation over the first court case to come to light when a guy gets his wang caught in this! hahaha!

I Told You Trent Wasn't Finished Yet....

2010-05-03T15:36:00.000-07:00

Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, has lost hhis mind in my opnion. there was his violent addiction to twitter last year, then his never-seeming-to-end drama about NIN being over and done with. Their last concert was held in NYC last year if you didn't know. But I knew I tell you!!!! He's too musically absobed to bak off completely. And this is my official "I told you so!" to the world!

Rumors have leaked that Trent has made his music a family affair! The rocker is teaming up with his wife and created a new band called Destroy All Angels. So far it sounds like it may have an electronic feel to it, and the duo should be releasing the debut album sometime this summer.

OzzFest is FINALLY Official!!!!

2010-05-03T15:14:00.000-07:00

I get at least one phone call every day from a listener looking for info on this year's OzzFest. And everyday I have to tell that listener that there is nothing to know. Really. It gets quite depressing after a while. So you can imagine how elated I was when I read this at ozzfest.com:

More than 15 years after OZZY OSBOURNE debuted OZZFest, the defining blueprint for hard rock tours and festivals returns this August in six American cities with an explosive bill co-headlined by OZZY and, in their first-ever OZZFest appearance, Mötley Crüe—touring together for the first time with OZZY since he invited the group on their now legendary 1984 arena tour. Expect the energy to go way off the charts at the all-day extravaganza of music and deranged merriment.

The 2010 OZZFest--back after taking a year off in 2009 and the 2008 one-off stadium spectacular in Dallas, TX with OZZY and Metallica headlining--will kick off August 14 in San Bernardino (the birthplace of the first OZZFest in 1996) and then make stops in Chicago, IL, Hartford, CT, Camden, NJ, Pittsburgh, PA and Boston, MA. Live Nation will promote the tour nationally.

The main stage will feature full sets from Ozzy, Mötley Crüe and Rob Halford (who last appeared on OZZFest in 2004 with Judas Priest), performing songs from his solo career along with material from Judas Priest and Fight. DevilDriver and Nonpoint will round out the main stage line-up. Second stage headliners and six-time OZZFest veterans Black Label Society will be joined by Drowning Pool, Kingdom of Sorrow, and Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch, Saviours and Kataklysm.

Each OZZFest date will include 13 bands on two stages with music beginning at 1:00 PM. In addition, concert-goers can once again visit the OZZFest “Village of the Damned” featuring a mix of interactive activities, shopping and entertainment throughout the venue concourses.

These OZZFest dates mark the first concerts in the U.S. in connection with the June 15 release of SCREAM (Epic Records), the OZZFest’s founder’s first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. OZZY’s band consists of his OZZY’s new guitar player, Gus G., bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

Tickets for the shows go on sale May 22 at www.OZZfest.com and www.LiveNation.com.

The 2010 OZZFEST dates are as follows:

Sat, Aug 14 - San Bernardino, CA - San Manuel Amphitheater

Tue, Aug 17 - Chicago, IL - First Midwest Bank Amp.

Thurs, Aug 19 - Pittsburgh, PA - First Niagara Pavilion

Sat , Aug 21 - Hartford, CT - Comcast Theater

Sun, Aug 22 - Camden, NJ - Susquehanna

Courtney....without the Love...

2010-04-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

You know, right off I've got to say that I am loving Hole's newest hit "Skinny Little Bitch." Almost as much as I love the drama Courtney slathers herself in. Check this out: Ace show Biz is reporting that Courtney Love is ditching her famous surname in and going back to Courtney Michelle Harrison. Why? Apparently she feels "oppressed" by the stage name! And that's not all. Rock Radio had this to report: Courtney Love doesn't want to talk about Kurt Cobain any longer. She wants to consign her 2-year-marriage to the Nirvana fronmant to the past, and she's hoping changing her stage name will help shake it all off. More interesting things Court had to say? This one I find the most genuine. She told NME not too long ago that; "I am not his spokesperson on Earth. I don't know what he's be like now. He could be into society girls, or fat girls, or he could be homosexual. We don't know - he died at 27."

And then....they dropped sneak peaks of some tracks...and of course I listened...then copied the embed code to share with you....because I have a message:

Boo you Fred Durst...for the few seconds those clips took from my life...I boo you.

I share with you the clips....but keep in mind....they are exactly the same stuff you'd hear on Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water. Hence my displeasure....

From rockdirt.com: Matt Heafy and Paolo Gregoletto from Trivium joined Simon on the Kerrang! Video podcast to talk about life on the tour bus, the story behind drummer Travis Smith getting replaced by Nick Augusto, how they’re better live now than ever before, their recent UK tour and their upcoming fifth studio album. “It was hard but we absolutely wish him nothing but the best in the world,” Matt said regarding Travis. “I think that whether realizing now or five years from now or a month from now, I think it’s better for him healthwise, mental wise, everything to be stepped out, to be doing his own thing. I think it’s for the best for all five of us.” Watch the interview via YouTube below.

The Worst Performances of the "Star Spangled Banner"

If you're a baseball fan, you'll be hearing it once a week now that the season is in swing...minimum. And even if you aren't, you're still gonna be hearing a lot of it:. Everyone from the world's most amazing singers...to people we always wonder why they would ever be given a microphone....its been done by all. But who's done it the worst??? Here's who according to The New York Post:

Carl Lewis, 1993 New Jersey Nets Game

Steven Tyler, 2001 Indianapolis 500...he changed "home of the brave" to "home of the Indy 500"...dumbass

Macy Gray, 2001 Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game...

she must have been so embarrassed that she paid big bucks to keep YouTube from posting it....cuz I can't find it there or anywhere on the interwebz...

Lucy Lawless, 1997 Anaheaim Mighty Ducks Game.....more of a wardrobe malfunction...that even Janet Jackson would be proud of...Go Xena, Go!!!

and the smae must go for her with the bucks and the cover-up:)

And coming in at #1...........

Ricky Is Out of The Closet Finally....But Why???

2010-03-30T15:49:00.000-07:00

So..Ricky Martin is gay. *Gasp* Big shock right?? But do you know why he decided now would be a good time for stepping out of his not-so-secret-closet?? The reason may suprise you. I, along with the half of humanity that heard the breaking news, considered it a cheap publicity ploy. He must have a new album coming out soon, something along those lines. Then I read a little story on AOL.com.

"Paquita la del Barrio, who has sold millions of albums worldwide and whose songs are staples in jukeboxes in Mexico, announced that she would rather a child starve to death than be raised by a gay couple in response to marriages of same-sex couples in Mexico City. Two weeks ago, there was no word, image or story to contradict Senora la del Barrio in Spanish-language media -- just abstract stereotypes about being "gay." Today, our friend Ricky Martin, who we Latinos have known since he was 12, is that face – a gay man who is the father of two sons. He is the face of all those people Senora la del Barrio was attacking. Her job isn't so easy anymore."

I for one and very proud of Ricky knowing this information. He's not standing back and doing nothing. He's showing the world that not everyone is as small minded and petty as Paquita. You rock Ricky, and I'm sorry for being so quick to assume you were going for publicity. PS- when is the new album due out???

Amy Lee Is Making "The Best Album of My Life"

2010-03-29T15:22:00.000-07:00

I kept wondering what the hell happened to Evanescence. Nothing new in a few years...since 2006...former band members joining forces with American Idol contestants to creat We Are The Fallen (this made me fear the apocolypse by the way)....I just thought it was over. But I'm glad to know I was wrong. Amy Lee is speaking up and say that Evanescence is alive and well!
“It wouldn’t be an Evanescence album if it didn’t sound somewhat like Evanescence,” Lee told Billboard: “I feel like our band has always had programming and inspirations from Bjork and Depeche Mode and Massive Attack and that kind of thing. It’s not like we’re making one of those records; it’s just, like, that is playing a bigger role in the sound of Evanescence this time. Those little nuances and hints come in in ways that are cool. The sound that we’re going for as a group is to fuse synthetic instruments with organic instruments and create something that sounds like a whole new place. It just sounds larger than life.”

Here's a small clip from the studio, posted from Amy Lee's twitter....

Things that make us laugh....

2010-03-29T13:51:00.000-07:00

Bahahahahahahaha! *gasping for air* bahahahahaha!!! This bumper sticker was ridin' on the rear of a Dodge mini-van-something cruising down Valley in front of me on my lunch-hour. I'm still laughing my ass of:-)

Then right after I turn off Valley onto Avenida De Mesilla....I see a guy mosying down the sidewalk wearing a half a pair of sunglasses!!! He looked like a pirate! At first I really though it was an eye patch and I felt like an a**hole for laughing at him.....then I saw the ear peice and realized we was wearing the what I assume to be the better half of a busted pair of sunglasses....and I gotta admit...I don't feel bad laughing

Happy Monday Everyone!!!!

Bahahahahaha!

Facebook = Random Sex....Apparently....

2010-03-26T14:57:00.000-07:00

AUSTIN, Texas (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – Apparently, Facebook users have become a fan of random casual sex. As a result, the number of new cases of sexually transmitted infections has increased, according to a research study done by public health officials in Britain. Areas where Facebook usage was at a peak found higher instances of chlamydia, syphilis, and other STIs. Arthur Coleman of the Medical Institute of Sexual Health in Austin, Texas, concurs with the findings, saying Facebook is to blame for enabling sexual encounters that lead to a bad case of crotch rot. He explains, “With Facebook you end up increasing your number of sexual partners. You’re hooking up with more casual sexual encounters and there’s no question that it leads to STIs.” Coleman thinks people should consider abstaining from random sex using Facebook, or at least play it safe by using protection since being online friends doesn’t guarantee disease-free genitals.

*The only thing I'm gonna day about this is..... DUH!!!!

The Things I'm Currently Addicted To....

2010-03-22T14:51:00.000-07:00

Rockstar Roasted. Yeah Baby! Tastes great and gets me going like nothing else I've found to date. Energy drinks used to scare me. And I'm not a big fan of the chemical flavor they usually go with. But Rockstar Roasted...the Latte especially...is my new knight in shining aluminum!!!! Rocking my show 5 hours every afternoon can be pretty freaking draining....have you ever tried to have high energy in a bad mood? Trust me, its not easy somtimes. Not only that, but I'm also a Mom to a very high energy 19-month-old little girl. Talk about being "on the go." So yeah....these top my addiction list lately.

Oh! And if you're not a coffe kinda person....check out their Rockstar Juiced line....friggin' aweseom as well....

My Name is Earl. A little tid-bit about me: I got rid of cable/satellite about a year ago to make the bills. I know live on DVD's. And My Name Is Earl is King of my DVD pile:-) PS- If life ever forces me to become trailer trash, Joy is going to be my icon.

Brigid's Cross Irish Pub. Check out their website for all the info....but just trust me, AMAZING.

Myspace Surveys. Sad, but true. You can find them in my myspace blog. Link it HERE. But I'm pretty sure you'll have to add me as a friend to get to em.....

Stop them! And let someone else be rude for you! I'm not normally a fan of passive agression...I tend to prefer mine striahgt up, and maybe with a snarky twist.....but I do enjoy not seeing my inbox loaded with crappy forwards! StopForwarding.com is your new hero if you can't stand the idea of telling your Gramma that her 3 page jokes are just lame.

White Strips and Jay-Z???

Looks like it. Jack White is saying that he's recorded a new track with Jay-Z, that they cut it a few weeks ago, and that it was incredible. But being Jack White, he also stuck with being vague and didn't bother to metion a title, or if it would ever even be released. Jay-Z could not be reached for comment....hahaha...ok...I never even tried:-)

Megadeth Unable to Finish Show....

"Some delerious a**hole decided that it was a good idea to throw their beverage over the [mixing] console, thus ending the concert." this was Dave Mustain's explanation of last Tuesday's unfinished show at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD.

Scott Weiland Explains His Split w/ Velvet Revolver.........

"When Velvet Revolver first got together, it was great. I got to know the guys before: Met Duff at the gym...I was in rehab with Mstt. I'd only met Slash twice - he's not the most social person. We had all been through the same experiences, and it felt like a gang," Scott told Details Magazine. "But everyone was a rock star. there were petty jealousies. Then the wives got involved with the business of the band, and that was the beginning of the downfall."

Sure Scott....blame the women.

Horny Chinese Lady....

2010-03-11T15:38:00.000-08:00

Freaky right??? I honestly have no clue if this is real or not....but wow.

Here's the story according to Metro.co.uk:

Centenarian Zhang Ruifang, of Linlou Village in China's Henan Province, first started developing the strange growth in 2009, when a patch of rough skin appeared on the left side of her forehead.

Her youngest son, 60-year-old Zhang Guozheng, said that when the growth first appeared they 'didn't pay too much attention to it'.

'But as time went on a horn grew out of her head and it is now 6cm long,' he said.

The growth is thought to be a 'cutaneous horn' - a tumour composed of keratin, the same substance that makes up fingernails, which most commonly occur in elderly people. Normally cutaneous horns are very small, several larger ones, which can stretch several inches, have been recorded in the past.

The condition has left her family worried - especially now it seems that she is developing a second horn on the right side of her forehead to match the first.
