It's nearly here....so Rockheads, what are your plans? Anyone staying closer to home cuz of the crazy ass gas prices? Anyone going to check out 311 & Snoop at Riverbend? (If so be sure to leave a comment here afterwards & let me know how it goes!)  As for the Sister, I have no definite plans yet for the 4th...but headed to the Southgate House on Saturday the 5th to see my favorite local band 500 Miles to Memphis- you gotta check these guys out if you get the chance! Their website is on my links on this page.... Whatever you do, I hope you have a FUN and safe holiday weekend!

I wasn't too worried about getting to see Motley Crue on David Letterman last night....see, waking up at 4am everyday can put a damper on staying up late to watch things like that...but I just KNEW someone would post it on youtube! Thought I'd share it with you Rockheads who didn't get to see it, either- l have a feeling Crue Fest is gonna be REAL fun!

The Jagermeister Music Tour rolls thru Cincy tonight at Bogarts....this morning during the 2 Angry Guys show, we had the Lizard Man on with us- he's the MC for the tour. A very interesting person...the podcast of the interview is up here on the site...and if you click on www.thelizardman.com/ you can check out his website. Your thoughts?

In case you missed it over the weekend, here's the first part of the Crue on Larry King this past Friday...if you want to check out the whole show, you can find it on You Tube, it's split up into four segments- this is just the first part- but the rest is well worth checking out! Don't forget to pick up your copy of Saints of Los Angeles tomorrow- or win it before you can buy it every hour today with us here at 96 Rock!!

The Angries and I had a big laugh yesterday at the article in the Enquirer which listed the top 100 things to do in the Cincy/Northern KY area before you die.  A few of them made sense- the Flying Pig Marathon, Sunlite Pool/Coney Island, the Beast at Kings Island, the Festival of Lights at the Zoo, etc...But some of the others, well...I just don't see myself driving over the Suspension Bridge with my windows down just to "listen to the tires hum" anytime soon, (which was at number SIX!) or go stand in front of the "Florence Y'all" sign and have my picture taken. (at # 20). REALLY? Is there nothing else to do in this city? So we opened the phone to all you Rockheads, and we got both some pretty sarcastic & funny ideas, as well as some cool ligit ones. Any ideas from any of you online Rockheads?

Ok, so if you weren't a girl that read Judy Blume books you probably won't get the title of this post...but lots of listeners ask why we don't have a myspace page- but we DO!!! It's still in the works, but you can find us at http://www.myspace.com/96rockfm

Happy myspacing!

Last night the Raconteurs played at the new National City Pavilion at Riverbend....and did they ever play! I don't know the last time I saw a show as good as this one. And I'm not just saying that because Jack had on the best pair of pants I have ever seen in my life. Seriously. Wow. As Gamble would say, "That's a holy!"

But back to the show...I really don't know what to say about it, other than if you were there, you know how good it was. If you haven't seen these guys play live, you need to the next time they roll through town. I've seen enough live footage of Jack with the White Stripes and as much as I love them, it's nice to see him play with a full band. I can't say enough good things about Brendan Benson, either- equally as talented as Jack & he has some very snazzy hair. And of course Jack & Patrick I've seen over the years with the Greenhornes, and I'm just real happy for those guys to hook up with the other two & create such an awesome b ... Read More »

A while back, I was made an Honorary Cincinnati Rollergirl. I wish I could say I skate well, but let's face it, I'm lucky to walk a straight line sober. But I wanted to take a minute & give those ladies credit where it's due- cuz they're badass!! You can get all their info at www.cincinnatirollergirls.com!! I also found a clip from one of their bouts- take a sec and check 'em out in action:

I wanted to take a quick second & thank the guys & gals from the Norwood Fire Department for having Fin, Richard & myself out for their golf scramble this past Saturday. We had a blast- the weather cleared up, and I got to drive my new friend Adam around all afternoon instead of suffer thru getting made fun of by Skinner- and all for a great cause!
