Jon Wiederhorn — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:40:01 +0000

Forward-thinking metal band Chimaira are apparently slowly morphing into proggy death metal band Daath — which isn’t a bad thing, as evidenced by Chimaira’s excellent 2011 album ‘The Age of Hell,’ which featured Daath guitarist Emil Werstler (on bass) and Daath keyboardist Sean Zatorsky. In a new post on Chimaira’s official website, frontman Mark Hunter [...]

Tree — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:29:59 +0000

Getty Images Every year, Merriam-Webster adds a few ridiculous, flavor-of-the-minute words like 'bootylicious,' 'McJob,' and any non-existent words that Sarah Palin used in a speech to their dictionary. We decided to do the opposite and eliminate the ten words that annoyed us the most in 2011. Every year Webster's dictionary adds a few ridiculous [...]

Iran Makes Everyone Want to Have An Olympic Movement

KLAQ Morning Show — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:51:31 +0000

Forget about the goodwill of the Olympics that's supposed to transcend politics and celebrate athletics. Iran has. The country's Olympic committee yesterday criticized the logo for next year's summer games in London, calling it "racist" and encouraging other Muslim countries to oppose it.

In a letter to the International Olympic Committee President, the secretary general of Iran's National Olympic Committee said the zigzag logo spells out "Zion," a biblical term associated with Jerusalem, rather than "2012." Iran is threatening that if nothing is done with the logo, it might boycott the games.
