Twice in one day,news stories with the same headline...."riots at soccer games".....no disrespect to those who play soccer,but as far as a spectator sport,soccer has to rate right up there with the weather channel!! As far as I can tell,the riots at soccer games must be set off by a small group of hooligans who miraculously have managed to stay awake during the soccer match,while.The vast majority of the crowd,sound asleep since the 9th minute become agitated when these inconsiderate thugs ruin their slumber by chanting for the teams on the field.as far as a spectator sport,the only thing longer and more boring than a soccer match is this years presidential campaign!!!

Orange flash in the sky

Here comes the Super Bowl!!! what a contrast between the Pats and the Giants.Super hunk Tom Brady has seen more super model Hiney than a Paris France airport toilet seat! Then there's super goober Eli manning,identical twin of Gomer Pyles cousin Goober..and speaking of goobers,Giants coach Coughlin always has that look like he just found out he has terminal hemmoroids!!!!!Enough of the commentary,how about a prediction?As it should be in 2008,the team with the best pharmaceuticals will win.A heavy dose of Plaxico will be too much for New England...Giants Win!!!!!

WTF!?!?

Those people that, throughout history, have tried foretelling the future (Nostradamus, Al Roker, etc.) have given signs of the "end times" (except Al Roker, who just gives signs of weather), and what to look for to know that we're approaching the Big "A". I am beginning to wonder that in those mystical and mythical documents, if there is a notation saying:

]]> "In the year A.D. MMVIII, there will becomest a battle of the greatest musical ensembles, whereas the orchestras of a lesser circumstance shall defeat the superior. Those who Seethe shall destroy the X of Statics; The Fighters of Foo shall overcome the Dust of 7, and the Vaynes of Mud will fall to the Mega Deth. When this time cometh upon the Earth, thou wilst be near to the End Times."

OK maybe not, but for some reason this has been the Year of the Underdog in the Coors Light Superbowl of Rock'n'Roll. I don't know if this is simply the luck of the draw and the right fans are voting at the right times, or if you guys are screwing with us on purpose...nah I'm sure that isn't it. Really, I know that you would NEVER vote against your favorite bands...right?

What I do know is this: You definitely are fans of the S.B.R.R. and are very passionate about the bands (the ones you love and the ones you hate), and that's what this is all about. We have people all over the great Inland Northwest, and as far away as Seattle and South Africa listening online and casting their votes. I LOVE IT!! This is one of my most favorite-est times of the year, and it will be all over too soon! As far as who I expect to win, I'm not even going to predict now. I thought Static-X was going to take this all the way, but the Seether votes shot me (and Wayne) down in the first round. And with all the odd outcomes, I'll just leave it up to you to decide who gets this year's trophy. It will be one to remember, fer sherrr.

KEEP ROCKIN'

Indestructable

2008-01-24T03:34:59Z

I spoke with Cheryl Valentine from Reprise Records today. It looks like Disturbed fans will have to wait until May for the first single from the upcoming CD, "Indestructable". According to Cheryl, it will be more than worth the wait. Each time the band goes in the studio, the goal is to make a better CD than the last. Given the bands tremendous track record this has to be a huge challenge. Well, have they done it again? "Without a doubt", says Valentine. "These guys are f%*&ing rock animals!" The new CD features a much darker side of the band, but is packed full of everything Disturbed fans expect and alot more. Reprise and the band are planning a "huge suprise" to coincide with the CD release. Disturbed will do a few smaller shows in early Spring. Look for a full tour sometime in June.

U Rock!

(That's our acronym for SuperBowl of Rock'n'Roll by the way)

Yes it's that time again...

]]> ...for 8 of the 9 years that Rock 94½ has blitzed the Spokane airwaves, we've brought you the Coors Light SuperBowl of Rock'n'Roll. For those of you new to the area, or just new to Rock 94½, here's the jist of how it goes:

Each year we take the Top 32 bands (according to the year's Rate The Rock surveys), and match them together in a playoff-style battle. This year, we've set up the brackets NCAA-style, with the #1 team (Metallica) taking on the #32 team (Shinedown) and so on. The Diet Pepsi Throwdowns will occur weekdays at 7am, 2pm and 7pm, with one special 11am matchup on Monday 1/21. During the matchups, we'll play two songs from each band and you'll call in and cast your vote for which band you want to see advance. Then Friday 2/1 @ 7am, it's the Grand Championship, where you will decide who will reign supreme in 2008 as Grand Champs. And as in years past, we let you keep track of everything right here at rock945.com. Feel free to download and print out the colorful graphic which will be updated after each matchup, or download the Excel spreadsheet and keep track for yourself.

We also have a trip to Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, AZ up for grabs also. Get qualified with the Super Play of the Day each weekday. Click the cool graphic on our front page for the details.

Oh yeah, make sure you're listening a half hour before each matchup, when your KraZy AuNt KarLa goes Under The Towel with the bands in each Diet Pepsi Throwdown!

anyone listening to the twice as much rock morning show knows that I began the N F L conspiracy theory months ago...Patriots getting some big and questionable calls in some close games to keep the undefeated streak alive so that the final reg season game would be on the N F L network( an audience the size of a Dennis Kucinich campaign rally)....growing the audience the number one priority,using this game as bait to get people to switch to Direct T V to see the game.....Congress stepped in,the game was simulcast on N B C and C B S and another conspiracy thwarted by the peeps....remember,when G A speaks,Congress listens!!!!

Seasons Greetings!!!

As I sit here brooding about the "dorky" (cheap) dress-up shoes I bought to wear to the company Christmas party....

]]> I could hear my Mother's voice saying.."Be thankful you have shoes..some people don't..some people don't even have feet....so be thankful Karla for what you have"..my Mom was right....(again!!!)
Ah yes Christmas time when memories come flooding in..even those you've spent a lifetime trying to block out (like the black-out drunken fighting and someone's Uncle being thrown thru a plate glass window!) I hope you and yours have a great holiday season ..please practice random acts of kindness.. and I beg of you not to drink and drive..sure it always seems like you're not that drunk ..until you find yourself sitting in your truck, in the middle of a snowbank, and grabbing another cold one..don't be that guy! XOXOOXX Krazy auntie Karla

Ho Ho banned?!!!!

In Australia,a santa was fired for having the audacity to utter the signature Santa Shout out,"Ho Ho Ho"...too scary for the kids,Too degrading to women,that was the lame excuse,and further more,these Politically correct maniacs want Santa to say 'Ha Ha Ha" instead....the implications are far reaching...what do we tell the good folks of Idaha,or how about the classic western phrase.."wagons Ha" and who is going to break it to the relatives of the late great Tiny bubbles king Don Ha?and what about Homer Simpsons neighbor,Ned flanders....Hidely ha neighbor?!!! this type of political correctness needs to be given the "heave Ha"

Breakfast with THE BELLs

2007-12-03T01:07:06Z

Now that was a whole bunch of fun... having breakfast (Boo-Berry's and Key Lime Pie) with HELL'S BELLS. Our winners, treated right; lots of swag flanging round the table at CINKERDAGGER's. "Post-card" snow falling outside, and JAMIE NOVA remarking on how decked-out the place was: "It's like Christmas EXPLODED in here!" Everyone had good good food, great fare, and excellent stories to share. Bill-The-Plummer, and his wife, were further treated to stubbs to the show (and for their 20 kids as well), Some of whom would wind up on-stage singing along. ...Not to mention the other 100+ kids "anyone under the age of High-School" asked to come up during 'You shook me all night long'.

Technical problems arose: A Broken base drum pedal, Jamie’s' ripped pants, Adrian’s' school-girl shirt that wouldn't stay on...

]]> Rapidly conquered with an explossive in-your-face high-energy assault on all things AC/DC played before a very packed house, with barely a break in the action. These girls really know how to bring a show to a screaming frenzy for all, young and old; A crowd that spanned nearly four generations, all of whom braved the driving snowfall, and a severe lack of parking, to make it to the stage in time. *What kind of coffee does Adrian "Angus" drink? I MUST have some. We loved watching her rapid-fire facial contourtions matching each riff and note whaled on a never stopping guitar-of-fire! And clad, barely, in an undergarmet through most of the show of the same color. WOW. (Now junior, just so you know~ that's a really soft satin Bikini-top, if mom asks... alright?)

THANK YOU, Hell's Bells... for an awesome breakfast (the right way to start a day)... a GREAT show to wrap it up with, and for the memories of our post-card perfect winter's day in beautiful downtown Spokane. Enjoy the Frankenberry, Jamie! ...And next time; Remind me to buy a sewing kit and I’ll fix you some stronger pant seams. A truly entertained time had by all, WE SALUTE YOU!!!

Back in the late 80s and early 90s,I along with my good pal Crash carlon would spend 2 weeks sitting on a Toys For Tots billboard collecting cash and toys for all the girls and boys....in 8 years nearly 400 thousand dollars and warehouses full of brand new toys,all because of your incredible generosity..in the late 90s and I kicked off another 4 year run with the K H T Q 94 and a half hour broadcast marathons,again a huge success.as we complete the first decade of the new millenium,we are overwhelmed by charities,always tugging at our wallets,so many it seems like its never ending...please do not get cynical or jaded,instead pick a charity,one charity,and give what you can.as my dearly departed wonderful mother loved to say.."big hearts equal big smiles" Merry Christmas!!

I just finished watching Sarah Silverman the first season (on DVD)..wow!! She cracks me up!! And I think it is so cool that her real sister is her TV sister..I also love the TV show on FX "Always Sunny in Philadelphia"..what a

]]> crazy cast of characters...that show is so funny!! Danny Devito has always been one of my favorites and he is so funny in this show! Season 3 just finished up..I have seen a couple shows from season 1 and 2..I am going to buy the DVD. I think my favorite episode is "the Gang Gets Whacked" where they "find" a bag of coke and decide to sell it and the "mobsters" (all overly sterotyped) come looking for them!! What a hoot!!! Now that the season is over ..what will I do?!!
