WBR #117 – Whitney Houston, Rains & Done Deal!

What do Pop icon Whitney Houston, Rock group Rains and Texas Rockers Done Deal have in common?  They are the ONLY TOPICS we cover in this episode.. not really, but we make a lot of Dead Whitney Jokes!  We play an interview with Jeff Rains, frontman of the nationally touring group RAINS, (we find out Jeff’s preference involving Boxers or Briefs, Beer or Liquor and Tits or Ass!) then we play their killer tune “Look in My Eyes”, special guest hosts are the band Done Deal… all chilling with us on Skype and bringing an interesting twist to the show.  We talk Whitney Houston, Crack Hoes, Flu Epidemics, Chipmunk masturbation and SO much more… along with a tune from Done Deal!

In the second hour we have the return of Love Poems with Tank and we play ‘Would you rather’ with Done Deal… see who wants to stick an electric eel up their ass!  Plus i’m pretty sure we mention McCaully Culkin havin THE AIDS… and we all joke about him snorting Whitney Houston’s dead body.  AND we uncover the terrifying truth to Michael Jackson’s death.  We also talk about how the Catholic church really picks the pope! It’s an EXCITING show.. but to hear the whole thing, you have to be a Dark Side Subscriber… memberships start at $15!

We’ll see you on the next episode!  Thanks to Messer for providing our show’s Theme Song!

REVIEW: Dawn Over Zero’s – Unity and Division

FIRST, I want to tell you that you can get Dawn Over Zero’s latest Album, “Unity and Division”, here - http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dawnoverzero4 - and I would suggest you do it.  As soon as you can!  We have already played several of the tracks on the show and will be bringing you the rest of the album and a review of the album on the show soon, but I wanted to write this review, because this album deserves all the attention it can get!

Dawn Over Zero (DOZ) is a band that, from the first time I saw and heard them, I knew I would never look at music the same.  Their sound is unique and familiar at the same time.  This band is what rock music is all about; the song writing, lyrics and performances will all leave you blown away.  When the single “Carry Me Home” from this newest album was released I was literally giddy. I had been eagerly awaiting new music from DOZ, since their self titled EP had left me completely rocked and wanting more!

Unity and Division sets a new standard in Rock.  From start to finish – it is a 10 track, 38 minute, feast for the rock beast inside you!  While the obvious places to start listening might be the previously mentioned single “Carry Me Home” or the AMAZING cover of  Johnny Hates Jazz’s ‘Shattered Dreams’ (which is fucking GENIUS, by the way); I would urge you to take in this album from Track 1 to 10, because every track holds something sensational!  From the hard rock sounds of “The Obvious”, “Carry Me Home” and “Caricatures” to the smooth, amazing sound of “Sound of Goodbye”, Unity and Division is an album that you can listen to, all the way through, over and over again!

My favorite track from DOZ’s latest effort is “Give and Take”, it is a killer tune with a hard but fun feel to it… if that song doesn’t get your head bobbing then you have no soul!  All in all, Unity and Division is as solid an album as I have heard in a long time… not since alternative rock’s glory days in the early 90′s can I remember enjoying an entire album this much. Get the album and then go see these guys live, it’s like a party with all your best friends and one helluva show!
