Mookie is on the air Monday thru Friday 10am - 2pm.
Very well, where do I begin? I’m a SoCal native from the ‘burbs with family scattered all over the country. I’d have to say that growing up; Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs were just as much of an influence on me as Nirvana and Alice In Chains. Some of my interests outside of the radio industry include the LA Lakers, politics, local music and white tennis shoes…

The 6 Pound Burrito
A Las Vegas casino cafe is rewarding patrons who can put away a 2-foot, 6-pound burrito with a most logical prize—free unlimited rides on a roller coaster that runs in both forward and reverse. The offer comes with a caveat, though: Those who accept the challenge but can't finish "The Bomb" burrito have to take a picture with an extra small, pink T-shirt that says "Weenie." The NASCAR Cafe at the Sahara Hotel & Casino began selling the cheese-and-guacamole slathered burrito on Thursday for $19.95. Those who can finish the monstrous entree get it for free, along with two unlimited coaster passes and a T-shirt proclaiming they "Conquered the Bomb."

Faith No More Details
More details have emerged about the upcoming Faith No More reunion. In a statement, the band revealed why they have decided to reform and head out on a European tour this summer. The guys say that time has given them perspective to understand that their music still “sounds good.” It’s the same line up they had on their final album, Album of the Year, back in ’97. That means bassist Billy Gould, drummer Matt Bordin, keyboardist Roddy Bottum, guitarist Jon Hudson and singer Mike Patton. The statement goes onto read, “Meanwhile, we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kick-ass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we’ve decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff…. BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!” It continues, “We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM. Who knows where this will end or what it will bring up… only the future knows. But we are about to find out!” 02/28/2009

Beastie Boys Finishing Up “Weird” New Album
The Beastie Boys are hard at working finishing up their eighth studio album, the trio’s Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA) tells EW.com. “It’s a pretty weird record,” Yauch said, adding that unlike 2007’s all-instrumental The Mix-Up, the new LP will feature “a lot of rhyming and playing and sampling—all combined.”“We still have a good time working together. It’s fun to be able to reinvent yourself every time,” the rapper said. The album is due out in either the summer or fall, with Tad Lock’s Glasses—an homage to their tour bus driver’s unique glasses—being batted around as a possible album title.
In other Beastie news, the group will take the stage at this year’s Bonnaroo. Recently MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D reissued their epic Paul’s Boutique with remastered sound and tons more features.
