MATCH 2: Enter Sandman vs. Seven Nation Army

Would the next contender come on down? Let’s try to keep the smackings to a minimum…

Metallica’s – Enter Sandman gets to defend the belt for the first time against none other then the White Stripes - Seven Nation Army.

Here’s a little background info on this tag team duo:

The White Stripes Consist of Jack White and Meg White, a classic combo of quickness and cat-like reflexes. Jack has the potential to finish an opponent with his lightning quick combo’s, just ask the lead singer from the Von Bondies, who was supposedly tossed on the ground and punched in the right eye 7 times in under 2 seconds… Impressive. Meg is quiet but extremely sneaky. If you throw her an inch she’ll dodge it and scratch you in the face 5 times.

All that aside, Metallica’s Enter Sandman gave them one swift kick to the back of the head and it was done.

Metallica successfully defends the title… for now.

MATCH 1: Enter Sandman vs. Fight For Your Right

Before we start this, I would like to say Enter Sandman is going to win this whole thing… And no I’m not a front runner, I’m just sick of getting destroyed in the rankings. My March Bracket Brawl was ruined by taking Tom Petty to get all the way into the final four. That worked out really swell…

So let’s start this off…

Metallica – Enter Sandman vs. Beastie Boys – Fight for Your Right

When you are the first pick in anything that has 39 rounds, odds are you aren’t winning the whole thing, but its Metallica… HELLO!!! This is probably the strongest competitor in this here Summer Slam: Battle for the ultimate K-ROCK Anthem. Enter Sandman screams fist pumping. Just think of the last Metallica show you went to, during this song you probably got cracked in the back of the head from at least 3 different fist pumpers. My head still hurts.

So we move on to the 2nd spin. Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right. This could be one of the top party anthems of the century. How many of you remember popping your License To Ill cassette into your car, sitting there fast forwarding to track 7, then blasting your radio all the way to 11… BAM… You knew it was gonna be a good night…

So let’s put these two bad boys head to head.
Party Anthem vs. Fist Pump Anthem

According to you, you prefer a punch to the back of the head over a party… Either that or your way of parting is really aggressive.

Anywhow… Metallica - Enter Sandman gave Beastie Boys – Fight For Your Right a fist pump right out the door.

No more “chocolate salty balls”!!!!!!

Sad news this week as soul legend Isaac Hayes has shuffled off this mortal coil at the tender age of 65. Better known to most Krock types as the voice of “Chef” from “South Park”, the guy is one of the greats. Just listen to the 70’s classic “theme from Shaft” which still sounds bad ass today!

 

 REST IN PEACE “CHEF”

 

 That is all, End Transmission!

Ladies go topless August 23rd 2008

So a listener has been telling me I should be promoting National Go Topless Day.

At first I thought it was a joke but it’s actually legit.

http://www.gotopless.org

Oh I just realised I made a mistake on-air, i said I didn’t think it was illegal for women to go topless in the state of New York. But I was wrong. It clearly says it on the webpage and is the whole reason they are doing the protest. So in future it’s probably not best to take legal advice from me.

In most European countries and Down Under it’s nothing out of the ordinary for girls to be on the beach with their white pointers on show.

But check out the link and pass it on.

The great American Passtime,

 

Wellman, you’re a fricken rock star !I had forgotten how amazing this clip is and would actually consider moving to Mississippi if this is what the games are like down there!.  Note to the Mets: SIGN HIM UP!! can you say attendance up 400 percent? when’s the first Phil Wellman Bag tossing night?.

 

 That is all, End TRansmission!.

From the wayback machine dept.

There is a show coming on the telly in Britian that is absolutely fascinating to me: Time Warp Wives.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1042702/Time-Warp-Wives-Meet-women-really-live-past.html

People who actually devote their lives to living in the past. I’m intrigued by it because I can’t decide if these cats are nuts or geniuses. Men work and win the bread. Women staying home and cleaning the house and looking pretty. They don’t have the pressures of the modern world, but still have current medical and computer technology available in case of emergency. I bet they drink martinis at 5:30 pm every day and go to bed with a sweet Bombay Sapphire Gin buzz and a stomach full of homecooked meal. Actually that doesn’t sound too bad!

“The Shining!……

…… WITH ROBOTS”!!!!

 

 

 So weird…….lol.

 

That is all, End Transmission!

Weiland Falling Over….

What a mess.  And kind of like what we saw a few months back at the K-Rock PNC show, although Scott managed to stand up for that.  Just.  If you’re going to Jones Beach tomorrow I hope he manages to hold it together.

from the sellout dept.

I figured out last night why people buy everything online now, at least music. A trip to the record store has jilted me. I stopped at my local go-to music store (not a huge electronics retailer, but a real record store) and I found The Pixies’ album Trompe le Monde. Haven’t listened to it, 10 bucks, what the hell. When I took it to the counter to be rung up, I felt it. The record shop worker snub. By two people.

There was the guy who had huge mutton chops, tight emo shirt / jeans, and was wearing sunglasses. Inside. While working. And by working, I mean on his cell phone, then looked at me, and then walked away. Thanks for the help fella! Then the girl with the bright pink hair, 2 lip piercings, and a problem opening her mouth to speak to me, the customer. The one who wants to buy things to put money into the store’s bank account, and that would put money into her paycheck! Funny how that whole economics thing works. But she finally bothered to ask me how I would be paying, after ringing the CD up, looking at it and pfffft’ing disapproval. I’m so sorry you aren’t happy with my musical selection, but please. Don’t pffft my CD choice, don’t walk away when I come to the register, and learn some customer service in general.

I wish I was cool enough to listen to whatever weirdo crap you had put on in the background to make my shopping experience miserable, but no, I’ll stick to my mainstream Top 40 Pixies. Thanks for making me feel welcome in your run down pit of a store. By the way, how are those dreams of being a musician going?

Mayhem Fest……

Just wanted to let you know I was in Houston at the weekend to check out the Mayhem Fest and it was great.  Sometimes these kind of events have some teething problems in their first year but everything at this show was first class, even in 110 degree Texan heat!

If you’re heading to the gig next week at Nassau Coliseum you will have a lot of fun.  There are three stages so there’s a lot to see, but my favourites were Airbourne, 36 Crazyfists, Disturbed and of course Machine Head and Slipknot.

Slipknot are really on fire right now.  I heard their new album last week.  It’s less experimental than their last (Volume 3) and more of an old school thrash album overall, although there are some softer elements that wouldn’t be out of place on a Stone Sour album.  It’s good, very solid. 

Slipknot’s set at Mayhem fest only featured the new single Psychosocial from All Hope Is Gone as the album isn’t out for a few more weeks.  But the show they put on was phenomenal.  Tons of energy, a revolving drum kit, Sid the DJ in a wheelchair (due to a previous on stage accident) but still clinging on to the clown’s rising platform at one point so he was suspended in mid air. 

The new Sliknot album has probably the best musicianship they’ve committed to disc.  Amazing guitar and drum work.  And lyrics that suggest those who think the band are just a novelty act in masks have got it very wrong.
