What Difference Does It Make KROQ Part 3 Episode 12
Holly and Dave discuss songs 39 to 30 of the KROQ countdown from 1981. Strange but true KROQ played Rush‘s Tom Sawyer in 1981 so Holly gets to geek out over her favorite prog rock band and Dave still doesn’t know how to pronounce the drummer’s name. Holly also gets to fan over The Go-Go’s […]

Like all music festivals they post the lineup and you get excited to see all these amazing bands and then the schedule comes out and you’re crushed because you now are faced with some tough decisions. Here are my rules I […]

Sport songs
I just watched the Women’s World Cup game between the US and Brazil. It contained all the drama of an Oscar nominated film filled with humiliation (Brazil’s own goal), conspiracy theories and manipulations (bad calls and red cards), bad sportsmanship (Brazil player faking an injury to kill time), twists in the plot (US dead in water until Abby Wambach […]
