If you’re in this group, you’re probably already annoyed I’m talking right now instead of rockin’ out. But hang with me for a second, because this one’s actually a “thank you” from everyone here at the station. A new poll asked people how often they listen to music, and the answers reminded us why what […]
It’s been over a decade since Guns N’ Roses delivered a full record, and the wait felt endless for fans hoping the classic band would get back in the studio. Now, we finally have a new song. According to the band it is a “newly-finished” track that emerged from the sessions for their 2008 album […]
Finding love has never been easy, and the numbers back it up. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just over 49% of Americans are unmarried, whether they’re never-married, divorced, or widowed. That’s a massive dating pool… but the cost of actually using it keeps rising. From two-person dinners to movie tickets to just grabbing coffee, […]
Exactly 69 years ago, something magical happened in a tiny studio on Union Avenue in Memphis. Sun Studio, the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, became the stage for an impromptu jam session that would go down in music history. Elvis Presley, already a national sensation, had dropped by to record some tunes. But fate had […]
Do people really dress up their pets for the holidays? PetSmart thinks so, and apparently, it’s a full-blown nationwide hobby.

“Rolling Stone” has dropped its annual list of the 20 best movies of the year, and the lineup shows just how creative and unpredictable this year in film has been. At the top is “One Battle After Another,” a critically praised epic that the magazine calls the most gripping release of the year. The full […]
There’s apparently nothing more fun than SINNING . . . and DISNEY-ING, unless, of course, you’re doing your fun Texas-style, because Houston officially cracked the Top 10 “Most Fun Cities in America.” A new national ranking looked at 65 different metrics: bars, restaurants, festivals, nightlife, you name it, and while Vegas and Orlando grabbed the […]
The gentle drift into the holiday season has turned into a full-on slip-n-slide coated in tinsel and peppermint bark. And as sure as clockwork, one of the first big debates of December has begun: What NEW Christmas movies are worth watching that aren’t the same five everyone replays every year? While classics like The Holiday […]
Most people go on holiday to relax, sip a drink, and maybe fall asleep in a deck chair. But aboard the Sea Serenity, some guests took “letting your hair down” to Olympic levels, letting everything down… including their underwear. Nude cruises, “nakations at sea”, are booming, apparently fueled by people who looked at packing lists […]
If it’s STILL a game of culinary Tetris, tonight’s dinner choice is obvious: The Leftover Buffet. Four days have passed since the big feast, and your refrigerator is starting to feel less like an appliance and more like a time capsule. According to the USDA, today is the final safe day to dive into those […]
Across the U.S., more than half of the workforce, 55%, is running on fumes, according to new research. And if you’ve been feeling the strain as the year winds down, you’re in good company. The holiday season may look festive on the outside, but for many professionals, especially those juggling work, family, aging parents, and […]
