Father's Day Is Always The Best!

Rooster — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 22:35:34 +0000

What’s the best thing about Father’s Day? Being treated like a KING! I woke up this morning to two little boys, two Father’s Day gifts and Father’s Day chocolate chip pancakes. It was awesome! Then I got treated to lunch with the family and some homemade Chicken Enchiladas & Spanish Rice. It’s been a fun [...]

The 4th Of July is Scheduled to Suck!

Wes — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 11:44:49 +0000

Like anybody else, I love fireworks. Of course, it gets old when they’re set off too early or too late, but I’m all for people blowing all kinds of stuff up for a couple hours on Independence Day. Right now it looks like your choices for the 4th are going to be severely limited. Lubbock [...]

Happy Mother's Day To All The Moms Out There! [VIDEO/NSFW]

Rooster — Sun, 12 May 2013 20:01:36 +0000

Today we celebrate the women that have raised us and tolerates all of our nonsense, Happy Mother’s Day to our Mom’s. I know there is no way I could be a Mom, because I know I would have disowned me a long time ago. That’s why Mom’s are the best they put up with all [...]

Driver — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 04:06:05 +0000

Easter Sunday is upon us, and it seems with every holiday, I realize just how fast time really does fly.

Top Five Anti-Valentines "Love" Songs [VIDEO]

Wes — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:00:42 +0000

Boy rock stars are macho types. You just can’t find that many sincere rock songs with “love” in the title. With that in mind, I was able to come up with some that kind of take a different direction. Get a little of both after the jump: So, of the love songs we still play [...]

There's snow on the ground in Lubbock. With a little luck someone will pop a little Christmas dinner in the oven to cook. You may find an odd present or two under your tree. Yes, Christmas is here and if you're looking for a real 'old fashion Xmas' with Irish drinking songs and tattooed women in Santa Suits, then you've come to the right place. More after the jump.

It's Not To Late To Get Your Humbug On [VIDEO]

Wes — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 11:00:28 +0000

Yes, let’s call this the latest salvo in the “War On Christmas”. It’s every “humbug” from 32 versions of “A Christmas Carol”. It even includes versions from the Flintstones and the Muppets. It’s the ultimate in Humbuggery and it’s next. Yeah, some folks tried to make “The War On Xmas” a thing, but it never [...]

A Krampus Carol [VIDEO]

Wes — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 13:23:30 +0000

I’ve brought up “Krampus” before. In some cultures “Krampus” is, or was, the ‘anti-Claus’. Krampus whips the bad kids and puts them in a bag (presumably to take them to hell). Now, for some reason celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain brings you “A Krampus Carl” after the jump. CAUTION, THIS IS DARK AND TWISTED. It’s intended [...]

A Christmas Tradition I Can Get Behind

Wes — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:00:51 +0000

Have you ever heard the expression “yule log”? Do you know what a “yule log” is? It’s a log. Thank you for asking. No, seriously, I have some pre-Christmas history for you after the jump. The yule log originally didn’t have anything to do with Christmas. In fact it was around centuries before the times [...]

AC/DC-Mistress For Christmas [VIDEO]

Wes — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:00:29 +0000

Christmas music is a funny thing, especially for a rock station. First and foremost, practically no new bands have put out anything good for the holidays. We've had an odd or an end here, but nothing to really write home about or sing along with. For that reason I'm dipping back into the archives just a little bit to bring you some classic AC/DC with just a little bit of sleazy holiday spirit included. More after the jump.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Wes — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:00:12 +0000

Each year when Halloween rolls around people are blown away by “Nightmare On 19th Street”. One of the main questions we get every year is, “how long have you been working on this”. The answer is, we start the weekend after Halloween. I’m not exaggerating. I’ll give you a progress report after the jump. We [...]

Happy Festivus Everybody

Wes — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 00:01:18 +0000

It’s December 23rd and that means it’s time for Festivus. Festivus is the fictional holiday invented by George’s dad on the t.v. show Seinfeld. More after the jump. So have you begun ‘the airing of the grievances” yet? When you think of it the holiday of ‘Festivus’ makes about as much sense as any other [...]

Celebrate Chanukah Three Times With Adam Sandler!

Wes — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:00:15 +0000

Today begins the festival of Hanukkah. I don't know too much about it other than there are a couple of different spellings and everybody seems fine with that. Probably most of us have got what little knowledge we have about Hanukkah from the Adam Sandler songs. So on this first day of Hanukkah, how about some memories and knowledge not once but three times over.

Make Mine "Deep Fried And Sanctified" Happy Thanksgiving

Driver — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:00:33 +0000

It's hard to believe it's already Thanksgiving! It seems like it was just a few short days ago, I was at the fair taking in all my favorite once a year treats, wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Granted, that same week I had to break out jeans and a hoodie, but this is Lubbock and that could happen in the middle of July just as easily as it does any other time of year.

An Epic Mealtime Thanksgiving

Wes — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:22:16 +0000

We’ve visited with the gluttonous lots from “Epic Mealtime” before. This time they are using their skills for good instead of evil. They’ve even brought along Hanna Harto from “My Drunk Kitchen”. This is some fun, foul and heartwarming stuff. More after the jump. This is a Thanksgiving done up right! How about a “Fast [...]

The Sexy Pilgrim-A Thanksgiving R & B Jam

Wes — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:00:12 +0000

Okay, a little disclosure first. This is either an elaborate setup for a Muscle Milk ad, or great marketing on the part of Muscle Milk. Either was “the Sexy Pilgrim” has some hot chicks jamming out to his smooth R & B and Hip-Hop stylings. More are the jump. I’ll be honest here. I was [...]
