KROQ Acoustic Xmas Night 2 Recap! + a really funny on-air bit from my kroq days . . .
When I heard the lineup for Night 2 of the KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas I just about pissed my pants! Did someone forget to tell me that I booked this concert while I was sleeping? It has all my favorite bands!?!??!!? and it's a KROQ show???? HUH!?!?! HELLLL to the YAAAAA.
(especially MUSE Headling! CHECK, The KILLERS as a secret! CHECK, & my favorite . . . . SILVERSUN PICKUPS!!) BEST. LINEUP. EVER.
Check out this video KROQ made displaying the lineup for night 2!
KROQ ACOUSTIC XMAS Lineup Video Promo!
here's my 50cent recap:
Best band of the night (if not the WORLD) is of course . . . MUSE! (duh!)
MUSE 'NEW BORN' LIVE @ KROQ ACOUSTIC XMAS 2007
Nobody can touch Muse. Yep, you heard me. NOBODY. Have you seen his custom made guitars? They have crazy mood ring color changing Mouse pad's on them - don't know what the hell they do, but I want one!!! Matt Bellamy is part Genius, part mad Scientist, and part Beethoven. (or maybe he's just from a different planet!)
***Random Muse Fun Fact! Did you know the first thing Matt Bellamy bought once he got his money from the record deal? He spends thousands of dollars on a JET PACK!!! HAHA. How crazy is that!?!?
The other main reason I loved this show so much was . . . SILVERSUN MUTHERFUCKIN PICKUPS!!!!!
I'm swearing because I just love them so much. They are the only band I've ever wanted to actually 'join' back in the day. check out this really rough demo of Kissing Families that I would always put on mix cd's to give to the program director . . . Click HERE.
**BTW if you are a new reader to my blog - I worked for the World Famous KROQ for 5 years!! I will always love KROQ. In fact, here is something you will laugh reallllllly hard if you check it out - - it is what people remember the MOST about all of my on-air bits, interfviews, etc . . . THIS story is what I get asked about ALL THE TIME. and YES, it is REAL. With that said, here we go:
HEATHER aka 'Gumby' vs. Gary Coleman (Kevin & Bean Morning Show)

Poor Gary Coleman! I felt so bad, but it was reallllllly funny. And DAMN good radio. But, I'm probably going to hell for it. haha.

oh yeah, I remember that bit w/ Gary Coleman. What a train wreck! Did he call you back for a second date?
hahaha yes he DID call me for a second date - which was super embarrassing as kevin and bean made me stretch this bit as far as it could go.
it ended with him buying me gifts - - backgammon set - and i had to pretend i was a lesbian to get him off my back.
CRAZZZZYPANTS
but it was funny, and a great story. :)
