Oh yes, it is the Juggernaut, which is normally Hard Rock and Metal Friday, but this week it is Hard Rock and Metal Saturday. We have music from around the globe to kick your ass today.

We have bands from around the world for your ears. From The Netherlands, we have Chiraw and Non Devine. From California, we have favorites In Silence. From Nevada, we have royal court members Darque Carnival. From Washington, we have Lucid. And from Norway, we have K9!

That is a lot of great hard rock and metal music! Seriously!

But you know it would not be RfL 2.0 if that is all we offered you. We have our look at celebrity birthdays as well as trivia from Jan 24th. How about the first beer can? That is interesting, right? How about the gold rush? What about the product that got us all saying “anal Leakage?” Even the Eskimos, pies, and indirectly, Steven King, play into all of this.

Sj takes the reigns to tell us what happened to the stars of the movie, “The Breakfast Club”, and even confuses Judd Hersch with Judd Nelson. What an idiot! And just for kicks, he also let’s us know just why Andy Dick is, well, a total dick.

That is a lot to fit into a show, but we do it, mistakes, mis-takes, and all.

It may not always be pretty, but it is always fun.

Cheers!

Music on the show!

Lucid – Sirens

Non Divine – Visions

Darque Carnival – Down Driven

In Silence – To Walk Away

K9 – Fraction of Time

ChiRaw – Domination

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

Strip Away The Pounds at Fat Loss Reviews

Great Metal from around the world on today’s Juggernaut from Reaching for Lucidity 2.0.

We will hear from Azreal’s Bane, Firewind, Prong, Ministry, and Handless Fall. That is some seriously great tunes, all for your listening pleasure to kick off the weekend properly.

Also,  we hardcore celebrity birthdays. Hardcore is our them today. We bring out some hardcore trivia, and we even make Lester cry. The big sissy.

The birthdays that are so hardcore are Bill Parcells, Cindy Williams, and Tori Amos. Yeah, I said hardcore.

We find out George Washington’s hardcore, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle style fortune telling, reply to King George III. We find out where our most hardcore criminals go, and where France’s used to go. We talk about the movie that made Michael Beck incredibly hardcore, and the movie that took it all away. We will always have the Warriors, but Xanadu, let’s try to forget.

Lots more as well.

Enjoy.

Azraels Bane from Maryland with Saints and Sinners

Firewind, from Greece with Falling to Pieces and Mercenary Man

OK, maybe that is pushing it, but we ARE still in this challenge with a week left to go.

Can I get a whoop?

Again, maybe not, eh?

Well, we have some kickass tunes from All For Nothing, a great band from the Netherlands. This will be brutal, in all the good ways.

We will be hearing the songs I Will Arise, A Matter of Choice, and Black Hearted.

This past week has been rough here at the studio, but this caps it. Tomorrow starts a normal week. Well, as normal as things can get at RfL.

Cheers,

Eban

Friday means it is time for METAL. We have a great music selection for your enjoyment today. We hear from Bloodsimple, Shadowside, Diecast, and Urban snake. Sonic brutality has never been so much fun.

We look at today’s celebrity birthdays, and realize today is a parade of the b, or even c listers. Well, that is what reality TV is for, right? The B, C, and Z listers.

We also talk about the Australian controversy of vaginal restoration and why we think it is discrimination! I am serious about this. Fixing the female undercarriage is not that important. Listen to find out why.

We also talk about the next episode of the Animated Adventures.

We also talk a bit more about Iraq veteran Mark Rogers and his family. Please help if you can, that family is in need. For those that do not know. Mark suffered burns on 60% of his body while rescuing his family after a car accident. Links to help are below.

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
