Wow, that's a title ehh? Well, that's exactly what happened in Round Lake. Theresa Marchione, a 20 year Round Lake librarian was recently fired after she closed the library an hour early due to Tornado Warnings that had recently riddled the Albany area. But it gets better.
Just like going down the playground slide is a fun (and sometimes painful) way to revisit childhood, so to are swings. The thing about swings, though, is there's a risk factor involved from the get-go. You know that game where you swing and swing and then try to jump off and go really far? Or the one where you try to go super high? Sure it's fun stuff, but we have two words for you: fail central.
Aussie group Sick Puppies have been laying dormant "down under" for some time now in order to focus on writing and recording a brand new album and they have done just that. 'Connect' arrives July 16 via Virgin Records and will be the band's fourth studio album and first in four years since 2009's 'Tri-Polar.' As always, with new music comes a new tour, so read on for all the dates of their summer North American trek.
Only jerk faces park cars in the garage. At Q103 we pack it with listeners and our favorite bands and let them play till we’re done changing our oil.
To put it quite simply, you do not want to go toe-to-toe with Alan ‘Nasty’ Nash.
Normally, drunk drivers create accident scenes, and in this case, this one did- kinda. Well, not kinda, more like- here's an accident scene, I'm drunk, might as well stop for it by ramming into it thus creating an accident scene on top of an accident scene. Confused? Let me break it down for you.
Nico Vega recently finished touring with Imagine Dragons, and according to singer Aja Volkman, the trek was like "a bubble of craziness" she couldn't see out of. That makes sense, since Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds happens to be her husband.
“Things are happening so fast for them, and we feel like our heads our spinning," Volkman tells Diffuser.fm. "It’s great, but I’m getting to see how that kind of fame can get overwhelming. In a way, it makes me appreciate the fact that Nico Vega is on a different pace, and it’s not overwhelming me right now."
Before treating fans (and us) to an awesome acoustic set during today's Q103 Garage Session, Shinedown took some time to meet and greet with their fans, and we snapped some photos from the festivities.
Everyone gets sleepy during work sometimes, but as a clerk in Germany recently learned, a bank transaction probably isn't the best time for a power nap. In fact, he fell asleep on his keyboard and accidentally transferred more than $295 million dollars to a customer. How come our bank never did that for us?
Having done our fair share of time in retail, we're willing to bet these price tag placements were all intentional -- probably done by some poor soul about 10 days away from quitting their job. Doesn't make them not funny.
Tool fans, prepare to be impressed. One of the band's signature tracks, 'Lateralus,' which we recently named the greatest metal song of the 21st century, has been covered acoustically by musician Sambo Ray Jr. Putting your own spin on the complex 'Lateralus' is impressive enough, but Sambo doesn't only cover the part of Adam Jones, he brings the role of drummer Danny Carey into the mix.
Miss Iowa is definitely the whole package.
