Car accident leaves Jamaican woman with British accent

33-year-old Deana-Rae Clayton is from Montego Bay Jamaica, so it is safe to assume that she grew up having a Jamaican accent.

That was until she was in a horrific car accident that left her in a coma. When she awoke she no longer had her natural accent, but rather a British one!

How does the brain just switch your accent entirely?

That is so crazy! Thankfully she is still alive after the crash. That’s what really matters!

Stream the new Killers album ‘Imploding the Mirage’

It’s been a couple of busy years for the Killers. The alternative icons from Las Vegas with guitarist Dave Keuning taking a hiatus from the group, the massive touring behind 2017’s ‘Wonderful Wonderful’, and trying to release another world-dominating album as the pandemic got going. This brilliant new album was originally due to come out in late May but got delayed so Brandon Flower and Ronnie Venucci could get it just right. It looks like that extra time really helped.

The album has some fun cameos from former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and pop singer K.D. Lang adding flavor to a collection of grandiose songs that drip vibes that remind you of ’80s alternative from the Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and something you would hear on the soundtrack for a John Hughes movie.  Flowers and company paint a very pretty and hopeful picture on this album for life beyond all the stress we are dealing with currently. It’s the music we need now, maybe more than we may have realized.

‘Mirage’ was released this past Friday and already getting solid reviews.The tracks that stand out: ‘My Own Soul’s Warning’, ‘Dying Breed’ ‘Fire in Bone’, and ‘Caution’ You can stream it here in the YouTube playlist above or get it on Spotify here. You can get the vinyl and digital pack here.

Check out 101WKQX’s Jon Manley chatting with Brandon Flowers about ‘Mirage’ earlier this year.

Debate concludes with keeping marijuana dispensary out of the Gold Coast

If you live in the Gold Coast and you were excited to be getting a brand new weed dispensary…. Well we have some bad news.

Residents were able to win a debate that will ultimately stop marijuana dispensaries from setting up shop in the Gold Coast.

Well, at least  there are still plenty of neighborhoods that can cash in on that green!

Lori Loughlin sentenced to 2 month in prison

Lori Loughlin was sentenced to serve 2 months in prison after her involvement in a college admissions scandal.

Her sentence will also include a $150,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and two years probation.

Her husband will serve as well. He was sentenced to 5 months in prison.

In a way this feels like nothing for a pretty unfair crime. She essentially bought her kid into a school and took that spot away from a kid who actually deserved it!

But you know what 2 months is at least something!

Don’t you wish they would have really thrown the book at her on this one though?
