Evan Baran, the man who blogged.

At least it wasn’t like the frontman from his old band!

I’m not going to tell you to share bathwater with someone else, meaning let your older brother bath, then you hop in there after. If you want to have a bath with someone else, then by all means go ahead, it can be fun, just don’t forget your “rubber” ducky!

The other thing I’m not going to do is plea to help save the environment, which could be reusing bath water, showering quicker, washing with cold water…all that garbage.

This is a blog about one simple picture that i could have posted and left it at that, but I figured this isn;t just a picture blog, you actually have to read some sort of garbage before getting to the meat and potatoes of the blog.

mmmmm, meat and potatoes. I think tonight for supper I’m going to BBQ both. I love BBQ anything. Have you ever tried BBQ perogies. I love perogie anything as well. It’s kind of like casserole. if it’s in casserole or perogie form, it has to be good.

I’ll stop wasting your time now.

A buddy sent me an email today with the water consumption in Edmonton during the Men’s Gold Medal Game at the Olympics this year. It’s pretty funny to see how much the consumption spikes during the intermision!

Sure all the hype of Oscars is there, but it’s the Razzies that truly honour what the Oscars ignore.

The Worst in Hollywood!

• Worst Actor of the Decade: Eddie Murphy, Nominated for 12 “Achievements” / “Winner” of 3 Razzies

I think the best part is when someone actually shows up to accept the award and this year the big kudos goes out to Sandra Bullock for showing up to accept both of her awards!

It all relates back to a person by the name of Emile Berliner.

If it wasn’t for him back in 1877, I might be entertaining you day in and day…ok who am I kidding, I don’t entertain even with his invention of the microphone.

But there are two other major things that happened today throughout history. Probably more than 2, but who’s counting?

It was today in 1966 that John Lennon said “the Beatles are probably bigger than Jesus right now” during an interview in London. What was used during the interview…that’s right, a microphone.

Then today back in 1994, John Candy passed away at the age of 43. How was the announcment made? That’s right, by a microphone. The internet wasn;t a household thing then, and the paper would have had it the next day, but the night he passed away, news casts in TV and radio had the report of his passing.

So if it wasn’t for Emile, John Lennnon wouldn’t have been able to say that his band was the biggest thing ever, and we would still be wondering why John Candy hasn;t shown his face in 16 years.

So think about that!

These are some of the greatest types of pictures there is!

Personally, I love trying to be that guy in pictures. Hell, I even like finding pictures of that guy in my pictures. There’s no better feeling when you are hung over looking at pictures from the night before and being like, “Hey who is that guy?”

There are many different types of “That Guy” pictures too.

There’s the “Hey, look, I can make anything look like my reproductive organ That Guy”

The “I’m way in the background but can still ruin your picture That Guy.”

The “I know That Guy, but That Guy still ruined our picture That Guy.”

There’s even the rare “That guy in every picture.” This guy is a genius when it comes to being That Guy.

“That Bulldog That Guy”

You could even have a “That Couple”

“That Girl” is a rare one, but you can still find them.

One that is super hard to find,

“That Animal!” In this case it’s “That Cat.”

So Regina, here’s your assignment, email any pictures of “that Guy” to evan@thewolfrocks.com so we can get a local “That Guy” blog going!

By saying that it makes it seem a lot like America’s Funniest Home Videos, but this is much cooler, trust me!

Kids love the idea, I love the idea and I’m sure you’d love the idea if it happened here! Not the guys part, but the fact that a couple of girls took part in the radio station promotion! I wonder if we could make this idea fly in town?

It’s about time someone came up with an idea to have awards for those that rule the world of Heavy Metal!

The second annual Revolver Golden God Awards were announced yesterday at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Strip in Hollywood.

Like the Grammies and Oscars, there are special awards that will be handed out. Rob Halford will receive the Revolver Golden God Award which will be presented by Ozzy who won the award last year. Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead will receieve the Lifetime Achievment Award (mostly for still being alive), Dave Grohl will do the honors for Kilmister!

Well I won’t be making for two consecutive years to Chicago for the festival, but if I could recommend a summer trip, Lollapalooza 2010 would be it!

The festival is unreal, but you have to experience the city, so allow yourself a couple of extra days to take it all in, and by all I mean a small percentage.

Anyways, here are the rumors that are coming out!

The full lineup is usually out in April, but the headliners are always leaked, and these are the ones sources have been saying. Green Day, a reunited Soundgarden and Lady Gaga. She actually played back in 2007, but was on during the day on one of the smaller stages. The other 2 bands that are being reported are The Strokes and Arcade Fire, both bands have new albums coming out this year.

There are 6 headliners each year  and 2 play at the same time each night, which makes for some tough decisions, but chances are if you really like both bands that are playing at the same time, you travel to see the other another time!

Keep your eye on the website, www.lollapalooza.com

It was 74 years ago today that one of the greatest humans to ever grace the planet was born!

That’s right, Burt Reynolds has turned 74, and thanks to plastic surgery his moustache looks as good as it did 50 years ago!

Well maybe not quite as good, but it’s still pretty sweet! That’s why today I’m dedicating my moustache to him. To the man that basically made the moustache an awesome accessory for guys to have.  Ladies and douche bags, you can have your gold necklaces, Burt Reynolds and real men, we will keep our moustaches!

The man is so awesome, there is even a museum dedicated to him. There should be one in every major city across the world as far as I’m concerned!

All I ask is for you to take a minute or 20 sometime throughout your day to stop and think of the amazing person Burt Reynolds has made you!

Empire Records was such a sweet movie I had to make reference to it while talking about Korn!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much excitement fora show in a long time. I’d even say there is more hype over this show than there was for both G n’ R and Motley Crue.

I’d say there is 2 reasons for this. The first being that Korn has never played The QC before, and second is the opening band, Five Finger Death Punch.

Tickets go on sale February 20 at 10am through ticketmaster as usual and the show is slated for April 2 over at the Agribition Building.

This leads me in to a whole new topic…the Agribition Buidling. Regina is lacking good venues for music. Actually let me rephrase that. Regina is lacking a good medium size venue. The clubs in town that have shows sound good, but a band like Korn is far too big to play any one of them. The Brandt Centre is far too big to even make it look like there is a decent crowd for them to play in front of.

This leaves promoters with 3 choices. Agribition Building, The Event Plex and Conexus Arts Centre Convention Hall. I might be forgetting another building over at Evraz Place, but I’m sure the sound will suck just as bad as the rest of the rooms there.

Sound doesn’t work well in big open rooms built out of cement, with hollow rafter’s on the roof and nothing for the sound to actually bounce off of and sound decent. Shows also don’t work in rooms when the stage is only 3 feet off the ground, the roof is super low, and the rafters that are hanging from the roof are solid and block the sound from reaching people standing in the back.

Regina sucks when it comes to watching shows that are fit for 500-2000 people. I know that’s a big gap, but liquor laws prohibit any night club in this province from having more than 500 people in them even if they can hold 2000. Watching a show at the Brandt Centre stinks with anything less than 3000 people because it’ll look super empty. Even with more than that it still does since they’ve recently added the new seats (which has helped out a lot with the sound in the building).

Have you heard of the slogan “Infinite Horizons”? That’s the brand spanking new slogan the mayor and his gurus at city hall have come up with for Regina. I truly hope that part of the horizon is a venue that sounds great and can hold more than 1200 people at any given time for a show.

Maybe even a venue that you can leave and not feel like you have to shower afterwards to rid the smell of cow sh#t from your clothes!
