What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

These BBC funny animal videos crack me up. If you like System of a Down, cue to :37. I can't imagine why anyone would want to cue in to one of these things. They are hilarious in their entirety. But if you are multi-tasking and don't have much time today, please cue to the SOAD part...
A Trip Into P-Roach’s Broken Home [VIDEO]
This is my favorite Papa Roach song from the early days. "Last Resort" from 2000's Infest CD put the band on the map, but "Broken Home" is tops in my book from that early discography. Jerry Horton's guitars are super sweet on this track.
I had a chance to chat with Jerry on the phone and in person the last time his band was in town...

I still wish I lived in Southern California, but know about 94% less about the California Angels of Anaheim/Los Angeles Metroplex and Greater Orange County today...
