March 13, 2013 Earlier this morning on the "Big Show," I played a bit done by late night talker and former S.N.L. alum Jimmy Fallon.
No sooner did it get done when the request line rang. KATS listener Robert Rodriguez asked if he could get a copy of it.
Just like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, the craze of music mashups tells us you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes tracks you could never imagine sync up in perfect absurd harmony, and that's the case with a new mashup from an artist going by the name PomDeter. The mixmaster has decided to take the Nine Inch Nails classic 'Head Like a Hole' and put it together with the recent ubiquitous Carly Rae Jepsen hit 'Call Me Maybe.'
Shock rock icons Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper are apparently heading out on tour together sometime in 2013.

This month, San Francisco pop experimentalists Tartufi release their first album since expanding from a duo to a trio with the addition of bassist Ben Thorne.

(We left out the twenty gazillion tweets of the quote "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are," because it's depressing how people aren't picking up on the irony.)
February 20, 2013 It has been awhile since we have had a massive rock show roll into town and it's high time we got our fix!
A song like Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' is called an earworm for the insidious way it tunnels into your brain and gets stuck inside your head.
The medical term for this is tinnitus, which is a legitimate condition that causes a sufferer to hallucinate songs in their head on an endless loop.
Since 1981, MTV has been a taste-maker, influencing teens and tweens in the ways of music, fashion, movies and social awareness.
