I’ve gone with some older songs the last few weeks, so I thought I would bring it forward by about 20 years with my “Favorite Friday” song pick of the week! This weeks song pick is Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart”. I love this song! Every time I hear it I can’t help but sing [...]

What Was The Venture Theater Is Now The NOVA Center For The Performing Arts

Andy West — Mon, 13 May 2013 22:29:57 +0000

It has been well publicized that the Venture Theater was in dire financial straits for the last several months. The newly named NOVA Center For The Performing Arts is a collaborative “venture” (pardon the pun) between the Venture Theater and Rimrock Opera Company. The Venture’s struggles spurred donations and a fund raising campaign which allowed [...]

Woman Kicked Off Plane For Repeatedly Singing 'I Will Always Love You'

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:56:44 +0000

‘I Will Always Love You’ isn’t an easy song to sing. That’s why the late Whitney Houston’s flawless take on the Dolly Parton-penned tune became one of the biggest hits in music history. But a woman on an American Airlines flight between Los Angeles and New York’s version of the song wasn’t as well received. [...]

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:15:11 +0000

As good as David Bowie‘s ‘Space Oddity’ is, it’s still rather surreal watching someone perform it from space. The above video was recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield whilst onboard the International Space Station. The upload — which has gone viral since being put on YouTube — is said to have taken six months to make and has [...]

Justin Timberlake Meets 'Iron Man 3′ in 'Suits That Fly'

Drew Weisholtz — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:05:07 +0000

‘Weird Al’ Yankovic may have some company in the song parody game. This video for ‘Suits That Fly’ is a very well-done take on Justin Timberlake’s ‘Suit & Tie’ that pays homage to ‘Iron Man 3.’ It even features a singer who looks eerily similar to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and a sultry blonde [...]

Awesome Mom Plays Black Keys on the Spoons

Emerald Catron — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:52:13 +0000

Don’t be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos — this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness. Deb “Spoons” Perry really likes ‘Lonely Boy’ by the Black Keys, and so she decided [...]

Senior Citizens In Trouble For Terrorizing Neighbors With the Power of Iron Maiden

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:58:26 +0000

Since the members of Iron Maiden are all well into their 50s it shouldn't be a big surprise that some fans of the seminal heavy metal band are now old enough to collect retirement benefits.

Instead it's what a 71-year-old woman from Stockholm, Sweden and her 81-year-old husband did with their Iron Maiden record collection that's noteworthy.

Tara Nicole — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:26:54 +0000

So i’m driving down the road today and this song comes on the radio. It seriously takes me down memory lane like no other song can. This is probably one of 3 of my all time favorite songs. This weeks song pick is, drum roll here please…Brooks and Dunn’s “Neon Moon”. Wikipedia has this to [...]

George Jones Passes

The Breakfast Flakes — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:14:23 +0000

Country music superstar George Jones has died at 81. He recorded dozens of hits about good times and regrets and peaked with the heartbreaking classic “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” With one of the most golden voices of any genre, a clenched, precise, profoundly expressive baritone, Jones had No. 1 songs in five separate decades, 1950s [...]

Wax Nostalgic About 1999 With This Intense Montage

Emerald Catron — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:42:10 +0000

Time travel hasn’t been invented yet (or if it has, those jerks aren’t telling us), so this is probably the next best thing. Just grab your yearbook and play this on a loop. You’ll find yourself transported back to 1999, when there were just as many girl groups as boy groups, and everybody’s midriff was [...]

Josh Thompson Was The Musical Mystery Guest At The Flakes Roast Last Night

Andy West — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:49:04 +0000

Before local luminaries such as Mayor Tom Hanel, former Cat Country 102.9 disc jockey Karen Gallagher and Q-2′s Bob (Liar) McGuire roasted the Breakfast Flakes Paul Mushaben and Mark Wilson at Bones Brewing last night, a secret country music recording artist took the stage to the crowds surprise and amazement.

Rodney Atkins Was On Fire

Andy West — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:34:31 +0000

At the Rodney Atkins concert last night at the Shrine Auditorium it was obvious he is a man of the people as we heard in the song “These Are My People”. On several occasions he handed his mic over to fans and let him sing the chorus of at least a few of his six [...]

Fake Coachella Posters We Wish Were Real

TheFW Staff — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:37:17 +0000

Coachella is a magnificently hip and amazing drug party music festival where people spend a weekend eyeballing each other’s outfits and dancing like fools. While that’s all good and well, we did think of a few ways to improve upon the Coachella experience. In an alternative universe where we get to do things like plan Coachella-sized [...]
