Well...I haven't posted in a while...been working killer hours at work for our Audit that has been going on...so if i haven't been working 12 hour days, i've been traveling...Since my last post I went to Chicago and Frisco...Chicago was nice but it was literally 15 degrees and a windchill of like negative 5...I will post my pics of that soon...

Tomorrow I leave to New Orleans ....

With so much traveling I am going to sound like this guy pretty soon





To answer DOM Dan's question that wasn't me on KROQ the other day...Its funny because even though I knew it wasn't me, I get nervous when I hear my name on the ROQ...Don't know why though...I haven't called in sometime...If anything you will hear me on AM570's PMS show as I call into that a lot more than I do the ROQ...Speaking of the PMS show, there is a Zubaz and Stupid t-shirt party...I would be there but can't cause of the above mentioned travel...

Zubaz and Stupid T-Shirt Party

Fookin Recap

First of all, the crowd looked WAY bigger on TV than it did in person. There were probably 500 max and it looked like 1000 people on TV.

Second, the Asian girl that one, it looked like she was told on the side that she won because when they came out on stage to announce the winner, she was all smiles and the other two looked bummed out.

Now the timeline...

Arrive at 1pm and see a line of about 300 people. A black limo bus kept coming by but they weren't picking anyone up hmm....

Around 2:30 they announce they will be taking us to the location...walking....they also announce Foo Fighters will be doing three songs before they go live and some songs after....kick ass, a full concert!!

2:45 arrive at the Nokia Live Theater and a stage is set up...looked way smaller in person..

3:45 still waiting for the Foo's to come out

4:45 Jason Bateman comes out and practices his lines...still no Foo's

5:00 We hear the Grammy's have started so i'm like cool, the Foo's should be coming out shortly for the three songs

6:00 Lady's and Gentlemen the Foo Fighter's!! We go to a commercial

6:15 or so..They introduce the winner who is the Asian girl...still no Foo Fighter songs

6:40 or so..The Foo's start playing the Pretender...John Paul Jones was there but no one really even seemed to care...so sad

6:45...Song ends...Foo's walk off stage...they are supposed to come back and play

6:50...Lights are all out and the stage is being dismantled....this doesn't look good

6:52...Security comes by...EVERYONE EXIT THE WAY THEY CAME IN

6:53...Everyone is pissed off! 6 hours of waiting and only 1 Foo Fighters song! No explanation...No Goodnight everyone...they didn't tell anyone shit...Just walked off stage and that was it

Fook You GRAMMY's...Shutup Dave!

Grammy's update

I just found out at the Foo Fighters performance tomorrow, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin will arrange a special orchestral version of the Foo Fighters' hit single "The Pretender" and will serve as special guest conductor of the Foo Fighters' orchestra. KICK ARSEEE!!

I'm going to see Foo Fighters

I just got a call from KROQ and I will be going to see Foo Fighters at the Grammy's!!

I will let you know how it goes....

.....Sigh.....

Remember Where on Earth (in the world) is Carmen Sandiego?

Well...the title should be changed to Where in the world is Audioslave...

This week San Francisco...next week I just found out I have to go to Chicago where it is going to be 28 degrees!!! ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT COLD ANYWHERE!!!!!!...Then in early March it looks like I will be heading to New Orleans ...then im off to New York for a week...nice huh...

28 Degrees though...come on!

Snooper Tuesday

With super Tuesday upon us I figured why not write about Snoopy. If you want to read about super Tuesday may I suggest reading CNN.com or Drudgereport.com but not here at 909pride.blogspot.com baby!!

You may say, captain random strikes again! Or, why the h e double hockey sticks is this guy writing about Snoopy. I am in SF again (zZzZ) and my manager has a picture of of this airplane that he wants to buy...one like avman has...well while he was gone today i switched that with a Snoopy one as he took on the Red Baron! (see below)



Ok now I know that isn't the real Snoopy / Red Baron picture but it is really close to the plane my Manager wants to buy.

Here is Snoopy and the Red Baron



Now I know what you are asking. Who if not Snoopy is the Red Baron?

Well they never show who the Red Baron is...and there are no waa wah waa wah waaa sounds. You just see Snoopy's dog house with bullet holes (he must live in the o.c.) When Snoopy's house gets shot up, Snoopy gets pissed, throws on a WWI hat, some goggles and a scarf then goes to war against the Baron...Snoopy also tends to yell out CURSE YOU RED BARON!!!!! FYI, the Red Baron in real life was a WWI pilot...in Snoopy's case I've heard its the cat next door.

For those who like nostalgic things, here is the first peanuts comic strip that featured Snoopy...enjoy

Yes...Part 2!

STP! STP! STP!

From NME.com

Stone Temple Pilots are gearing up for a reunion this summer when they will reportedly return to the live circuit.

According to Scott Weiland’s Velvet Revolver bandmate Slash, the band will get together this summer for a few shows, but no further details have been revealed.

Scott Weiland earlier this week reportedly told the Miami Herald that a reunion is on the cards in the coming months. Stone Temple Pilots split in 2002.



*****

I saw Velvet Revolver when they first got together...I guess they didn't have enough material so they broke into some STP and the crowd including myself went wild (I Came home with a ripped shirt). I can't wait until STP reunites!

Music Mondays

Their previous album had some good tracks then they fell off the face of earth...With this new track, they seemed to have resurrected themselves from the music graveyard (96.7 KCAL) haha...Anyways, Boys and Girls please enjoy Psycho by Puddle of Mudd

Sonic Youth's Superstar

My bad...the video initially went away...here it is again

How awesome is this song by Sonic Youth called "Superstar"

It is a cover song originally created by the Carpenters dontcha know. It also came out in the movie Juno

some stuff

First off...RIP Heath Ledger...

If it turns out that he committed suicide then I will edit this post and take that off and replace it with something else....

Second....Coachella line up TOTALLY sucks this year...come on with these three headliners....

Friday - Jack Johnson
Saturday - Portishead
Sunday - Roger Waters (Dark Side of the Moon set)

I would only go to see RW but not for $90 a day...BTW Kraftwerk's set on Saturday night is going to be done by Robots...kid you not

Third

Cloverfield was so damn awesome...Coming home I felt like something really happened to New York...And by the way...why is it ALWAYS New York that gets the brunt of all destruction...I think the last time LA was destroyed was during that Volcano movie which totally blew...

Go see Cloverfield!!!

I don't get it

I don't get why Toyota Prius cars are allowed in the carpool lane so they can get wherever they are going faster...Aren't these the cars you want on the road longer since they don't pollute the air...Give carpool passes to pre 1980 cars and hummers!



And Infiniti's =)

I like me some PMS...

The Petros and Money Show...

Their show PMS is very interesting...it combines sports talk with just everyday normal things and they totally pull it off...If you like Kevin and Bean, you will like these guys...PMS has quickly one of my top radio shows to listen to almost neck and neck with K & B...

Petros who used to be a tailback for USC trojans is one half of the duo...hes top of the game when it comes to college sports..he is also loud...funny...and sometimes plays the goof of the show...

Money is of course formerly of the Kevin and Bean show and is the man behind the Los Angeles Lakers pregame show...strong knowledge in all sports and style of comedy compliments that of Petros...

The format of their show goes something along the lines of this....

Every day at 6pm on their show they somewhat drop the sports talk and do some comedy bits...

Monday - La Lista de las Lunes...PMS ::clap clap clap:::..This is a list of 5 things ranging anywhere from annoying high school people to crappy movies that people think are good

Tuesdays - Fight Club Forum...this is something like that celebrity claymation boxing that MTV had on a while back...they put together two people and set up fight scenes between the two...

Wednesdays - Film Fight...Two films by the two dudes...one represents each...callers call in to see who wins...this week was 300 vs. Gladiator

Thursdays - Lance Romance...Petros' alter ego as the guy giving romance advice to whoever calls in...this is a hilarious segment...Petros doesn't even change his voice...i called in once because i can't dance worth shit...he told me go to a reggae concert and dance....the people there are so high they won't notice...

Fridays- It used to be a day when Vance Finance, Money's alter ego appeared and gave financial advice...its now turned into and I kid you not..." Fffffff " Their version of freeform Friday...anything goes...it is also Hip Hop Friday so they play classic hip hop coming in and out of segments...

I wouldn't doubt that if on April Fool's this year they tried something funny with K & B....its been a few years since K & B have done anything...

But seriously...give them a try...AM 570 or if you don't get the station...570KLAC.COM to listen live over the net

Only in the 9

Two charged with making tainted 'bathtub cheese'
By Rod Leveque, Staff Writer

CHINO - San Bernardino County prosecutors have filed criminal charges against a man and woman suspected of producing and selling illegal homemade cheese, some of which was contaminated with a harmful bacteria.

Authorities say Floribel Hernandez Cuenca, 31, and Manuel Martin Sanchez-Garrido, 44, manufactured the so-called "bathtub cheese" inside a home in Montclair, and then sold it in an open-air market outside a Chino meat-processing facility.

At least some of the cheese confiscated by authorities was tainted with salmonella, a bacteria known to cause illness, Deputy District Attorney Jeremy Carrasco said.
"I think that the possibility that somebody could become sick is increased when people start manufacturing and selling cheese products out of their home," Carrasco said.
Cuenca and Sanchez-Garrido are each charged with a felony count of processing unpasteurized milk products and a misdemeanor count of selling illegal milk products, both violations of the state's Food and Agriculture Code.

The pair is to be arraigned Jan. 24 in Chino Superior Court.
Carrasco said an undercover police officer bought a round of cheese for $13 from Sanchez-Garrido on Oct. 20 at the market in the 7300 block of Pine Avenue.
Sanchez-Garrido then led police to Cuenca, who took officers to a Montclair home where the cheese was being produced, Carrasco said.
Authorities seized some 375 pounds of illegal cheese, included panela,
