It’s 311 day my friends and that means it is time to celebrate anything and everything 311 all day and all night long.
In order to do it right, you must crank your favorite 311 songs and do it with a 311 kind of attitude. So smoke it, drink it, happy slam dance to it, and above all else, love thy neighbor. 311 would want you to.
311 Day is taking place at The Mandalay Bay in the fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada this year. Can you imagine how festive it must smell there right now?

I was a very little girl when The Lost Boys came out and lucky for me, I had these renegade cousins that made me and my brother watch it for the first time. Since then, no movie has ever come close to having the impact that The Lost Boys had on me. That movie will forever be a part of me.
Anyone that knows me knows that I own at least 6 copies of it. My brother named his dog after Corey Haim’s dog in the movie. It was and will always remain the greatest vampire movie of all time. Edward and Bella can suck it! Vampires were waaaaaaaay cooler when Kiefer Sutherland led the charge.

I love the fact that we can come to KROQ.com and post bands and songs that we all love outside of work. I love sharing music with all of you and encourage you all to do the same with me.
I am crazy about Manchester Orchestra. They’re a band from Georgia and they rock. They’re raw, emotional, melodic and LOUD. I absolutely adore them.
Tonight they play The Troubadour and after that you can catch them on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

While on a recent trip in Argentina, NOFX frontman Fat Mike got jiggidy jacked. And, according to him, it was the perfect mugging. The best part of the story is that the mugger took off with Fat Mike’s iPhone which is filled with certain pictures that have no business seeing the light of day. Balls.

Holy rock-n-roll sh*tballs! Look what AFI was kind enough to post on their Twitter!
Davey and his crew just performed at the Soundwave Festival in Perth and after their set, they stuck around for more.
Jane’s Addiction also played the festival and towards the end of their set, Perry Farrell was joined on stage by members of AFI and Faith No More for a wickedly delicious drum circle/performance.
I would have easily sacrificed my right breast to witness this in the flesh.

In a recent interview with People, Dave Grohl commented on the upcoming film about his former band Nirvana and stated he hopes his character is played by a member of the opposite sex. The Foo Fighters frontman said the best person for his part in the film would be actress Shelley Duvall.
“I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m crossing my fingers that Shelley Duvall plays me,” he said. “Shelley Duvall in The Shining, that is my face, you cannot get any closer than that.”
