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'

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,

Day Three

Well, I sit here in my room on day three listening to some Led Zeppelin and drinking a Disaronno on the rocks because i have friends that seem to leave me hanging alot...2 of them said oh yeah we will hang out...well i called them and none are around...i ate lunch in my hotel room by myself...on my way back, the vice president of our west coast division sees me walking and pulls over...shes like didn't anyone tell you we are going to lunch...nooooope...so i hop in and drive with her to a restaurant where the rest of our SF office is at...so i had two lunches...but still..i left work at 4 because i wanted to go around town...$30 later after taking a taxi to and from amoeba records im back in my hotel with some new records...well they aren't new...they are used...i take that back...one is new the other three are old. As you may know I am a huge Beatles fan so

I bought

Beatles 1967-1970 (Vinyl)

Yes I love vinyl...it has a nice crisp sound and I do have a record player

Two things

There are two things I can't really stand about Emeryville,CA...which is where i'm staying..


1) These things are supposed to be art work...













They are scary especially at night when there is a light beaming down on them...

2) The smell in the hallways at my office...It smells like an old lady's purse...I'm waiting for a pack of doublemint gum to appear in front of me

MNF

WOW!!!

Did anyone see that Monday Night Football Game!?!??! OMG It was probably the best game this season!

ONT to SF

Well im here in san fran looking at the beautiful view of the san francisco bridge and alcatraz...wasn't the birdman from there?

Anywho as I do when i fly, I sat by a window...looking from a plane, I realized how beautiful this Earth really is....we need to do more to take care of it...recycle..reduce...and reuse...and close the loop...remember that old commercial? haha

but like i was saying, I saw about three dry lake or river beds which kind of sucked..sucked because you know that one day probably not too long ago there was water there where the animals from the hills would come drink...not anymore..on a day like today where the sky is very clear, you can appreciate what this planet would look like with little or lower polution than what we put out...you could see for miles and miles...no smog lines...not factories polluting...nothing..just earth...i can only imagine what Ohio looks like...probably clear like this all the time...its no wonder why the Wrider is moving there...

Just take care of this Earth...we are messing it up pretty bad...

I'm really tired from an early flight so if this doesn't make sense sorry...oh and i did bring my chasity belt Birdman...and I have my keys attached like a janitor so they won't fall...

oh yeah..my hotel room is awesome...couch...flat screen tv...a view of the mountains..and a kick ass lounge....

going back

to san francisco this week...woo.....hoo

Happy Thanksgiving All!

If you have nothing to do over this weekend may i suggest watching this movie..What Would Jesus Buy? It is a documentary about how Christmas has been turned into nothing but commercialism....they call it the Shopacolypse...Looks good...it is created from the same guy who created 30 Days, and Supersize Me.


Enjoy

oh Traffic...how do i hate thee

I left home early today to see if i can beat traffic; if there was any being Thanksgiving week...well..I left at 6:30 and I got to work at 8:30...yeah...didn't help...so since my week is filled with 4 hours of commuting each day, i thought I would post the following which comes from the Daily Bulletin here in the inland empire...


A Sig Alert, which is a warning broadcast by radio stations telling of unusual or hazardous traffic conditions, was named after the man who first coined the term, the late Loyd C. Sigmon.

Back in the '50s Sigmon was an executive at KMPC, a Southern California radio station.

In an effort to boost ratings for his station, Sigmon came up with a brilliant idea. He called the LAPD and asked them to telephone the radio station every time there was a significant traffic jam so that KMPC could broadcast the information to its listeners.

The LAPD informed Sigmon that their officers were far too busy doing things like catching bad guys and trying to keep order in a county of a few million people to stop and call a radio station every time there was a traffic tie-up. So Sigmon came up with a better plan. He proposed that the radio station could install a receiver that would be linked directly to the police.

Whenever a significant accident occurred, a signal could be sent from the police station that would allow the radio engineer to tap directly into police broadcasts of the traffic problem.

William H. Parker, the chief of police at the time, finally acquiesced and allowed the receiver to be set up, but only on the condition that all radio stations that were interested in broadcasting the alerts had access to them.

So while Sigmon did not gain the competitive advantage that he had hoped to achieve for his radio station, his system was successfully implemented in 1955. A skeptical Chief Parker was quoted as saying, "We're going to name this damn thing `Sig Alert."'

Sig Alerts, which are unique to Southern California, are now transmitted electronically through computer networks and are administered by the California Highway Patrol. The CHP will launch a Sig Alert if there is any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more, as opposed to a planned event like road construction.

The next time an overturned big rig or three-car collision ruins your freeway drive and pushes your stress levels to the boiling point, you might just want to head down to the pier in Santa Monica where you can slam your car into another car without having to worry about causing a traffic jam.

The Pacific Park bumper car ride is aptly named "The Sig Alert."

Re-Post

Sorry...I had to repost this



i have to say i left san fran on a sad note....if you havent heard there was a oil spill in the sf harbor area as a cargo ship crashed into the golden gate bridge sending over 50,000 gallons of oil into the water...the oil started drifting towards the area where my office was at and a boat came with these flotation devices to capture the oil...not more than 100 yards away from this were about 100 ducks and birds just kicking back in the water not knowing that danger and death were close. you see once the oil gets on the birds wings...they are unable to fly and eventually drown...so sad...

to go along with the sadness of the oil spill, i was reading my beatles book that i purchased while in SF...in it was a story of how the song Octopus Garden came to be. before reading this story, i always liked this song but just thought it was one of their acid trip dreams...anywho it is a real story as told by ringo. ringo was out on a fishing trip one day when the captain asked him if he wanted to have some octopus...ringo turned it down but the captain went onto a story about how an octopus lives its life day to day swimming along the bottom of the oceans floor collecting up shiny objects and stones to build a garden...crazy huh? ringo thought it was the happiest story he ever heard and thought to write a song about it...

Song of the Day..Octopus Garden - Beatles


I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
