Big news last week as it was announced that Kevin & Bean’s long time in-studio producer Psycho Mike is the new full time co-host of KROQ’s Loveline with Dr. Drew.

When former Loveline host Adam Carolla stopped by our show for his weekly visit, I asked him if he had any advice for Mike as he prepares to take over the show. Hear his surprising answer after the jump. more

No really, he does.

Performing last week at South By Southwest as his solo act Cokie The Clown, NOFX’s leading man Fat Mike stunned, shocked, and horrified several fans when they discovered there was an extra ingredient in their tequila shots.

You don’t know about anything about the NCAA, and not much about any sports either. Normally, this isn’t much of a problem, and you can continue to work on ambitions that matter more in your life.

Sure, you need to know about the Super Bowl, but only for a few days. Unfortunately the month of March is a different beast entirely. Dudes talk about nothing other than their brackets, upsets and everything else involving the Big Dance for the better part of the month. It’s much harder to fake your way through this sporting event than any other.

24 has been officially cancelled. Someone put me on suicide watch STAT! I am heart-broken, I wanna throw up, and I want some heads to roll. For so long Jack Bauer has been my zen. Believe it or not, I find peace in 24. Yes! It is filled with the kind of drama that can explode hearts and cause major anxiety, but, It was a great love of my life.

Jack Bauer is and will always be, the epitome of bad ass.

FML!

Why does God hate me?

SlugMonkey’s weekly (or whenever I get around to it) #FlashForwardFriday is a new KROQ song that doesn’t blow – and today it’s Useless Keys from right here in lovely Los Angeles.  Mayhap you’ve heard them on Kat’s LOCALS ONLY (Sunday nights at 9), and if not, you should punish yourself.

They’ve got a couple shows coming up in early April – check their MYSPACE for more info.

The song, under the cut, is ‘White Noise’.  Bloody great stuff to damage your speakers with.
