There are three words you can say to instantaneously turn me off: androgynous, ginger, and synthpop. With that said, I somehow can’t stop listening to La Roux.
Maybe it’s her denunciation of the musicians topping our music charts… it could be her lyrics alone… or maybe it’s the fact that Elly Jackson just does not give a flying eff if we like her music or not.
Regardless, La Roux is stuck in my head, and now it’s your turn.

Growing up a huge ska fan, I’m beyond thrilled to see The Specials on this year’s Coachella lineup. They were a little before my time, but paved the way for some of the biggest ska bands of the late 90’s like Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Save Ferris and all your other favorites. I know I’ll be busting out my checkered tie and skankin’ shoes at Coachella to pay my tribute.

I know that a lot of people have written the Stone Temple Pilots off. I mean how could you not? Scott Weiland is not that easy to take seriously. You just never know when he’s gonna tumble off the wagon or end up incarcerated.
With that said, it has been quite some time since our little Scotty boy has given us any reason to worry about him and/or the future of his musical contributions to the world. I personally root for Scott Weiland. The way his bony body slithers across stage…yummy. He is one sexy beast.
Today, KROQ’s Stryker debuted “Between the Lines” and the phone lines went bananas! I played it again at 9pm and I’ll continue all weeked long!
Stone Temple Pilots are back and according to my sources, this time they’re not f**king around. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Kevin’s Drive-Thru Rules:
- Don’t special order or modify anything.
- Don’t check your order. Take what they give you and drive away.
- You know you’re gonna have to pay, so have your money ready.
Kevin responds to an email from listener Sam: ”Drive-thru is for speed and speed alone. If you want anything fancy, you should walk your fat, fast-food-eating ass inside.”

Were you working today, Friday? Was that fun? Well, while you were busy helping THE MAN® make more money for THE MAN®, KROQ’s Kat and (the guy who broke our heart and left us for NYC) Mr. Rick Savage were busy not being sober at the massive music fest SXSW.
They’re seeing bands like my #FFF (New KROQ music that doesn’t blow) Mr. Dan Black (very little relation to the ultra cool Mr. Frank Black) and under the cut is a song that may well help you (esp., you ladies or soon-to-be-ladies) get yerselves ready to go play tonight – HAPPY FRIDAY!
On today’s show: Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, Movie Beat, waking up after blacking out and Ralph really hates Two and a Half Men.
We also spoke with Forest Whitaker, Kat Corbett checks in from SXSW, “This Week in Rage” with Adam Carolla and more.
