Blink 182’s “First Date” like you’ve never heard it before
We all love Blink 182. How can you not? Perfect song structure, catchy hooks, and funny lyrics. But maybe the lyrics are even better than we thought. This lovely songstress figured out that their jam, “First Date” is actually a really beautiful song and slowed it down. And she’s right! How many times have you listened to this song? I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and now I like it even more thanks to this girl.
When you find out your mom’s lasagna isn’t your moms
For some reason, this girl cannot handle the fact that her mom’s lasagna isn’t homemade. It’s like everything she has known has been a lie. Watch her melt down in the grocery store just the cheese on top of the cheap, store bought, lasagna that her mom has been purchasing the entire time. The truth shall set you free girl! No one tell her that her mom hasn’t been hand making Oreos… she might not make it.

Remembering Kurt Cobain
28 years ago today, a generation lost its voice. Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, took his own life 28 years ago today after a long battle with depression, addiction, and the pressures of being the biggest rocks tar on the planet. And while he left us way too soon, there is no denying the mark he made on pop culture, music, and an entire generation. I remember listening to WKQX the day it happened, glued to the speakers for confirmation that the rumor was true, and for the shared experience of an audience mourning the loss of its hero. Here are a few of my favorite Nirvana tunes that I will be playing at max volume all day today.

Suddenly you’re missing an edible brownie and no one at the party looks high. Then you see your car and he looks like this… uh oh! Obviously, you should never purposely feed your pet a magical brownie. Don’t worry, the cat was fine later.

Get all the info and tickets right here. https://www.101wkqx.com/piqniq2022/
Cannons- Bad Dream. This band is such a vibe and I can not wait to see them live.
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats- SOB. These dudes obviously have an amazing catalogue and I am very stoked to hear Survivor and You Worry Me and Wasting Time, but I will always love this song and dance like a weirdo when it comes on.
Cold War Kids- Miracle Mile and Hang Me Up to Dry. Here’s the thing about CWK, I wouldnt consider them one of my favorite bands, but I would consider these two songs two of my favorite tunes ever. I love the guitar riff on Hang Me Up, and the chorus of Miracle Mile absolutely sends me.
Walk the Moon- Anna Sun. Speaking of all time songs. 10 years ago I ruptured a disc in my back that caused me to have to have surgery. During my recovery I discovered this song and must have listened to it about 100x times a day (yes Im that guy) while I was stuck in bed recovering. I will never not think of that time in my life when I hear this, and how this song got me through some dark lonely times being stuck alone unable to tie my shoes lol.
Almost Monday- Live Forever. This song gives me Cage the Elephant vibes in the best way possible.
Bastille- Pompeii. No commentary necessary. One of the best songs of the 2010’s.
Cannons- Sex on Fire. I have a love hate relationships with cover songs, but this is rad. They made it their own and I hope they play it at the show.
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats- I’m On Your Side. This song is going to sound SO good at the end of the night while you’re surrounded by your crew.
Walk the Moon- I Can Lift a Car. This one always hits me in the feels.
The PIQNIQ lineup is here!
The biggest party of the summer returns to the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater on June 18!
Tickets are now available on 101WKQX.com with the promo code BEAR!
