Johnnie Walker
You don't hear him that much on the air...well, except for a million commercials and stuff, but mostly he hides behind the scenes, trying to make things work. He occasionally succeeds.

Balloonfest Sunday is Going to Be a Really Cool Acoustic Rock Day
At first glance, an acoustic day at Balloonfest 2013 seems kind of weird. But the more you think about it, the better the idea gets! It's something we haven't done since Zakk Wylde came down and performed songs from his then new album Book of Shadows. (Anyone else remember that?) That was a really cool show, and something people really didn't expect from Zakk at the time...heck, it's still odd to think of Zakk on an acoustic guitar, even though he's just done an acoustic tour.

Your Guitar Shredder of the Week – Tony MacAlpine for Tuesday – The Violin Song [VIDEO]
Day two of Tony MacAlpine week features a song from Tony's album Premonition, called "The Violin Song". This is one of the tracks from the album that features keyboard master Jens Johansson. The melody on this one is really good, and grabs you right away.
Tony began his classical training at five years old, and trained on classical piano and violin at the Springfield Conservatory of Music in Massachusetts.

Your Guitar Shredder of the Week – Tony MacAlpine for Monday [VIDEO]
Some of you might remember this guy's name from the 80's, when the guitar shred boom really began in a big way. Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen really opened the door for a lot of guys to get known widely for instrumental music.

Kirk’s Crypt at Orion Music + More Will Be Bigger and Better This Year [VIDEO]
In case you'd need another reason to sign up for the Orion VIP trip package we're giving away, here's something I'd love to check out at the festival this year. Last year, each band member had his own "tent" with things that reflect that guy's hobbies or interests. James had cars and bikes, Lars had movies, Robert had skating stuff, and the whole band had their museum.
The part I really want to see...

Why Aren’t These Women Making Millions Doing Triple-Penetration Porn? [VIDEO]
I wish I could adequately explain to you the series of conversational turns that led me to searching the internet and discovering these women with two vaginas. (I've been forbidden on pain of pain if I reveal who and what led to my search.) But the fortunate result is the discovery of women with two vaginas!

The Bulletproof Tailor Shoots a Dude at Point-Blank Range [VIDEO]
There's this guy in Bogota, Columbia named Miguel Caballero (The Armored Armani), who makes bulletproof clothing for people. These are not your usual obvious-looking bulky vests that are ridiculously heavy, and cumbersome. These are Guayaberas, jackets, T-shirts...things that let you look normal, but give you protection from bullets!

Always Be Careful About What You Put In Print – Some Funny Examples
So on my last post, I misspelled a word. (I'm still mentally punishing myself for this, so be nice to me.) Which got me to thinking about what other strange things have shown up in print that we can laugh about.
Oh my God, there are some good ones!

Emmure Singer Electrocuted on Stage in Moscow – Clueless Band Plays On [VIDEO]
We've heard about a lot of things happening on stage in the last couple decades...the Justin Bieber attack being the most hysterical! Punch him again!
But last night in Moscow, the singer for deathcore band Emmure was electrocuted on stage! No, it wasn't part of the show, they didn't set it up as a shock tactic performance.
The stage wasn't grounded or something, and when he put his lips to the microphone...ZAAAAAAPPPPP!

Stone Sour Delivers a Crushing Version of Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave” [VIDEO]
The Golden Gods is quickly becoming the coolest show around, considering it's the only awards show that actually honors metal music (screw the Grammys). This past week, so many bands came together to celebrate this music we love, and to honor metal and the memory of the mighty Jeff Hanneman from Slayer. So many musicians performed, and were fantastic, including the guys in Stone Sour, who delivered this crushing performance of Sabbath's "Children of the Grave".

Get Your Face on a Star Trek Figurine! Or Get One For Your Trekkie Friend
The world has come so far in the last few decades, and with the advent of 3D printing, we are on the cusp of some really scifi kind of shiznit! We're printing bionic ears for people that can hear better than a human ear; 3D printed guns that actually fire, in case we want to remove that newly installed bionic ear; but now, more importantly, we've got the opportunity to get our face on a Star Trek figurine!

Men vs Women – Would You Rather Get the Horrible Truth, or an Ego-Sustaining Lie?
It's obvious how different men and women are in their thought processes...we don't reach the same conclusions about things, we don't hear the same things, we don't believe the same things. So it's not just about who has boobs and who doesn't. Boobs are awesome, by the way.

Get Fit the KLAQ Morning Show Way – With Lisa’s Workout Routine [VIDEO]
I have to admit, this place is a nuthouse. You never know what you're going to see or hear while you're here. Today, was Lisa's in-depth discussion with Lauren and Patty Campos about how she's getting in on the 30-day squat challenge thing.
She had to look up on YouTube how to do a squat, by the way.
