Also, Happy Birthday Mick! Jagger that is. Keep those freakin lips singing!

We have music from In This Moment, Poisonblack, Into Eternity, and Attackhead. We are going to send you into the weekend with the best metal and hard rock stuck in your head.

Would you want it any other way?

I thought not!

No big celebration today, just great tunes. Again, would you want it any other way?

Again, I thought not.

We also have our regular segments, celebrity birthdays, trivia, and finally back from vacation, it is the return of SJ!

Yeah, you could have probably lived without that one, but we take the good with the bad, eh? (Yes, I will have to deal with SJ after writing that)

So, kick back, buckle your seat belts, and get ready for some brain scrambling music. It would not be a proper Friday at RfL otherwise.

Cheers!

Eban and SJ

Thursday means rock, and we are bringing the rock! Hard rock to be more precise. Get ready for some driving tunes. We have tunes from Royal Court members and first time plays as well.

Also, we talk about a family that needs your help. Two time Iraq War vet Mark rogers and his family were involved in a horrible 8 car crash. Mark got out of the car, but his family could not. With the car on fire, he had to break a window and go back in. He saved his wife and two kids but in the process was burned over 60% of his body. Check out the show for more details.  The links are below, as well as the links to Brian Noe, our fellow Mevio producer who brought this to our attention.

Be sure to get back here tomorrow for the Juggernaut, it will rock.

Cheers,

Eban and SJ

But, have I got something different for you today. We are going to hear from the band Pink Steel, the gay comedy metal act out of California. This is going to be fun. Hell, with a song name like Sausage Party, how can it not be fun?

Also, we hear from Hanson and Udo as they try to hide the hidden track. Listening to those two makes me wonder if the above party was actually a German Sausage Party? Knackwurst anyone?

In addition to that, we have some great news. I just found out yesterday that one of the very popular podcasts from the old days is unfading and coming back soon! It is Me and the Bean! Check out the new teaser promo on the show today.

SJ and I will be back with a great rock mix on Monday. Don’t miss it.

Cheers,

Eban

It is 1 full year of RfL. We have been around since 2004, but today marks the 365th episode! (Technically, there are more, but who cares, eh?)

We also finished off the first 5 days of the challenge that SallyGirl threw at us. After completing this week, I think we can do this. We did alter the challenge just a bit though, we don’t have to do the Sunday shows to win. we may still do a couple, however.

Now, on to the show!

It is a Quickjabs today. I wanted to do a full show, but ate up all the recording a prep time dialing in the recording settings. I can’t record like I was at 4 shows a month. I had to redo my old rig and settings from when we were on 5 days a week. The sound has been bad this week as I don’t have the extra editing time any longer.

It is the Juggernaut today! Hard Rock and Metal Friday. In this Quickjabs, we feature the music of Warbringer, a band out of California. Get ready for some sonic brutality!

It will be hard.

It will be oh so satisfying!

We have some great metal for today’s Juggernaut, Hard rock and Metal Friday. As a bonus, all of the music is from RfL Royal Court members! Smeer, Rising conviction, Givehead, Darque Carnival, and Where She Wept are all in the mix today!

Also, we talk a bit about some news from Darque Carnival’s frontman, Shane Whitecloud. We can’t tell you what it is yet, but we will keep you informed until we can let you in. Don’t you just love surprises?

We have received a challenge as well, a challenge we are actually going to accept. We do this because we are either totally inspired, or just total idiots. You make the choice. Listen to find out what the challenge is.

And no, as you are listening to the show, nothing illegal took place in this episode. Just remember, that phrase can mean many different things though Again, you be the judge.

Cheers,

Eban and SJ

OK, that was stupid. Let’s try again, shall we?

Here we go, CHAKUKALAKA!!!!!

Alright, even I don’t know where I was going with that. But chakukalaka has a ring to it.

Here is some news for you.

From Angry Ape

Earth to The Dandy Warhols Album Details Revealed

First they start their own record label, then an album. But Mark Knopfler and Mike Cambell, that is diferent.

The Offspring Unveil Rise And Fall, Rage and Grace Album Details

Not much to say here, only that the Offspring put on one of the best live shows I have ever seen. Really. It was at the Woodlands Pavillion in The Woodlands, Texas. I just hope the album doesn’t suck.

Nine Inch Nails Release The Slips Free Download Album

Trent Reznor is going from the default definition of creative angst to being the default definition of audio value. Hey, get downloading!

From Blabbermouth

Robert Plant, Alison Krauss: Footage From New Orleans Jazz Festival Posted Online

I still want Zepplin to tour, Damn it!

Vince Neil’s 12th Annual “Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament”

I normally bust on Vince, but not now. No parent should ever have to bury their children. On this topic, my heart hurts for the man.

Wednesday 13 is Thankful to Have Secured HOT TOPIC Deal for Skeletons CD

That is cool for him, but really. The album is only available in Hot Topic? and then only 90% of the store stock it? Dude, come in from the cold and embrace the indie scene and go Podsafe, your career may depend on it. Hot Topic is no Starbucks, and even Starbucks is abandoning the music stuff.

Lacuna Coil’s Scabbia: We Are Putting Together the Best Album of Our Career

OK, I popped a chubby. Not for Lacuna Coil, just for Scabbia. She is so freakin HOT! Truth is, I would listen to her yodel, as long as I could watch as well. I do look forward to the new Lacuna Coil though. I hope they go back towards their “Comalies” sound though. The last CD did not seem as good to me.

From Spacelab

Peter Gabriel’s Web site Has Been Stolen!

Not even online, it was physically stolen! I have been warning Pete to watch out but he never listened. It was that freakin monkey he shocked back in the eighties coming back for revenge. He should have shocked a penguin instead, easier to catch. Just ask Billy Madison. Oh wait, he never caught the penguin, did he? My bad.

Tom Waits Announces Summer Tour Dates, Holds Awkward News Conference

Imagine that, an awkward news conference. Maybe he just needed to clear his throat, a couple of hundred times. While looking to the night sky at that.

From AWN

Schedule Looks Super For Marvel

More Iron Man, OK. Captain America, then the avengers, OK. Thor, mega OK! The Incredible Hulk, hopefully better than the first, OK. But, Ant Man! WTF!

Aniboom Partners With Six Mobile Distributors, Five Online Video Platforms

More animation! Hell, I already had it with Sprint though.
Well, there you have it. Another day of news. Plus a new word, or “not” word, chakukalaka.

Cheers,
Eban

The post says that they have only to finish up a couple of songs and then they are good to go.

In an earlier post, they also mention that this record will present the band with a different sound.

It all sounds cool to me.
