Too fricken funny,

Rock band and Guitar hero players get ready for the next wave from nintendo. this DOES look pretty bad ass!
That is all, END TRANSMISSION!
So after talking about it on-air so much I had to go and see what it was really like.
The coaster is located in the new Hard Rock Theme Park at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Firstly I went with a mate on a Tuesday, so the lines were bearable. We were on within 5 minutes.
After being directed by the pimply faced teenagers with the southern accents where to stand, we walked into a holding room. The lights dimmed on a montage of Led Zeppelin music clips and interviews played on a big screen. I think this was a bit over the top. It went for about 5 minutes. Everyone just wanted to get on.
The first time riding it the video was interesting… but the second and third time seeing the same thing played over and over again got annoying.
So you get strapped in and the ride takes you 150 feet high then drops you almost vertical along to the tune of WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. Then after about 6-7 loops and turns you arrive back into the Zeppelin ‘airship’.
The line was short so we went around and on again.
It also takes your picture and video which you can buy them as you come off. $15 for one photograph? I don’t think so.
Other rides there are a smaller coaster which is titled the Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane. Apparantly the band re-recorded the track just for the ride. I couldn’t tell the difference.
And then ‘Slippery When Wet’ suspended coaster.
After lining up for an hour and enduring listening to southerners singing bad karaoke (yes they have karaoke to keep the crowd settled while you wait), the ride was shut down due to “technical difficulties”. So I missed out on that one.
But all was well I got dragged up to sing ‘Down Under’ by Aussie band Men At Work.
So all in all a good time was had by all. If you like the music on KROCK and you like paying for the overpriced food and drinks then you will be in HEAVEN!!!!
Oh well there was Rivers Cuomo ( who doesnt actually NEED glasses as quiet as it’s kept),…….but lets go back to the 80’s and some random dude in Alcatrazz, ( Im kidding I know his name is Graham Bonnet!). Long ago in a time when young Graham could not even imagine a world where lasers would make his goofy, no AWFUL glasses extinct, he was painfully sentenced to wearing them in this video. Again this would be funny if they were not actually SERIOUS,..come to think of it, that makes it even FUNNIER!
that is all, End transmission!
cause they’re good at SOMETHING.
what am i talking about? think back. there’s plenty of celebrities who seem to think they have the ability to do EVERYTHING, since they can do SOMETHING.

Ricky Gervais
Ricky was on the show this afternoon. He’s at MSG this week, you have tonight and tomorrow left if you wanna go. If you’re a fan you really should. Topics include fat people, Hitler and anal sex! What more do you want from 90 mins of stand-up? A fat bloke dressed as Freddie Mercury as Queen’s One Vision plays? Well that’s how the show begins!
Look out for Ricky’s new movie Ghost Town out in Sept. And if you missed the interview today, you can check it out on this web site.
Look at what these Blue jay fans did just to psyche out A rod!. See? now, that aint right!
Another tough day at the office for A rod. LMAO!

Yesterday my girlfriend asked me for a small favor. You know that means something big that is way over your head. She needed a wireless network set up in her new apartment AND connect the TiVo to the network because she didn’t get a land-line phone. You would think in this age of plug-and-play accessories for computers I wouldn’t have a problem. HA! You thought wrong sucka…
Installing the wireless stuff was a 5 out of 10 pain in the butt. I had to reinstall the CD 2 times because some setting/proxy/address kept getting screwed up. It finally worked for some reason and now, due to a ghost helping me out and reprogramming something that I didn’t catch the first 2 times, there is now a one bedroom apartment smothered and covered in wireless glory. Even though she doesn’t have a laptop or any other wireless device. Now, onward to the TiVo.
If you’ve moved and changed cable systems and want to get your TiVo working again, good luck. You will have an easier type deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. You will have fun with coding. Networking. Administrative unlock. IR cables. RCA cables. S/PDIF. I was expecting to have Johnny 5 emerge out of the pile of electronics needed to plug in this one box. From start to checking their website to restart to cursing to waiting for the network configuration: 2 hours. For, essentially, a VCR. But I did it. When I left, complete. And I really didn’t mind spending the time either. The woman is happy. Now she can watch all the recorded TV she wants and not bother me when I have stuff to do. Like reading “Simple Home Electronics For Stupid People.”
You know it might be worth getting sued if you’re going to sample stuff like this, I mean this is in the sample hall of fame!. So back in the day when I was a broke ass, scruffy, dj living at home with mom and dad, while trying to earn enough to get out on my own, I did what most other broke ass radio dj’s do, I spun in clubs!. Don’t laugh but I was actually really good on the one and twos and could rock a dance floor beat mixing “play that funky music” into “Smells like teen spirit” and would shake the fricken dance floor. Talk about bands de OBSCURA, there was this techno-ish band called Eskimos in Egypt and they had a song called ” the power of G & R” which remixed became ” G & R (that’s what you want)” The lyrics are pretty anti Axl because at the time Axl had said somethings that were pretty far from PC. Anyway this thing was pulled off the shelves almost immediately as Axl’s legion of attorneys swarmed down upon the band for the obvious problematic sample and im sure the lyrics didn’t help either!@. Anyway I used to have this ON vinyl and spun it almost every time i would spin, again it was so rare that i went to England and marched into the offices of their record company and said ” IM an American Dj and I must have a copy of this blah blah” and I got it, brought it halfway around the world and spread the Eskimo love for a few years. Then I moved and it disappeared, I have literally been looking for this song on web sites etc for YEARS, unreal I find it on YOUTUUBE..WHO KNEW?!!!!!!! This combines two of my fovorite things: RAAAAAAWK! and Beats!. Again, this sample is just the Bizomb!
Check it out, it’s still pretty dope if you like stuff with a beat!

AT THE GATES
w/Darkest Hour, Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust
July 10, 2008 at Irving Plaza, NYC
AT THE GATES is back after 12 years!! Yes, the last time we got to see them was back in 1996 as they supported headliners Napalm Death. (I saw two dates on that tour-The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ and at 7 Willow St in Portchester, NY)
The Swedish Death Metal greats chose to kick off their SUICIDAL FINAL TOUR 2008 right here in NYC. What an honor! We showed our appreciation by making sure both nights were totally Sold Out!
It was hotter than the blazes of hell at Irving, but they nonetheless lived up to all of our expectations and played a fantastically heavy show. Every song sounded amazing, and I haven’t seen a pit this intense in a helluva while!!
Thanks to all the fans who came out to support them. This is TRULY one of Metal’s GREAT bands.
See ya at the next show!
xoxo
