  SHOW NOTES:
  
  08/23/09 -
  
  Abi and I hope you enjoyed listening to our special interview with lead singer of STYX tribute "Rockin' the Paradise", Jim Vignato. We certainly had a blast talking to him and look forward to hearing more from the group in the near future.
  
  Of course, we also did an abbreviated version of our usual stuff too, so here's a rundown on the rest of the episode just in case you missed out:
  
  
  THE TUNES:
  "I Am the Walrus" by Styx
  "Not Dead Yet" by Styx
  "Come Sail Away - the epic mashup" by a half dozen different artists!
  ... specifically?
  Eric Cartman ("Chef Aid"), Keali'i Reichel ("Kawaipunahele"), Me First & The Gimme Gimmes ("Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzvah"), Tufts University Beelzebubs ("BOCA 2008"), SoCal VoCals ("Get In. Rock. Get Out.")
  
  CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - Is Aerosmith breaking up? Worse yet, is Steven Tyler off the wagon? Say it ain't so! (No, really. We want you to say it's not true. It'll save us yet another week of talking about Aerosmith soap opera drama...)
  - KISS has announced the title of their new album- that would be "SONIC BOOM"... the lead single? "Modern Day Delilah". We also wished GENE SIMMONS a happy 60th birthday.
  - Paging Dr. Van Halen. Tony Iommi, on the road right now with HEAVEN & HELL, is in a bit of a spot. His hand is in pretty bad shape, so before heading in to surgery, he decided to consult Eddie Van Halen, who recently underwent hand surgery of his own. Here's hoping Eddie isn't the one *performing* the surgery...
  - I also quickly ran down all the latest new releases due out this fall- Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bon Jovi, Joe Perry and, of course, The Beatles ROCK BAND game is coming on, fittingly enough, 09/09/09.
  
  BIRTHDAYS THAT ROCK:
  - I sent out a general shout of love to ALL our birthday boys with a cover tune STYX performed on their 1990 'Edge of the Century' album (also a personal favorite song of our guest Jim)- "Not Dead Yet"!
  
  UNDER THE COVERS:
  - I told the 'covers' from Abi and surprised her with my uber-mashup of many differnt cover versions of that classic Styx tune, "Come Sail Away".
  
  
  Don't miss out next week as we salute my adopted home state of New Jersey. We're promising Bon Jovi, Springsteen, Four Seasons & more Jersey-centric awesomeness! Capiche? ;-)
  
  Have a great week,
  Kay
