Cooking.
Music
A shiteload of stuff mostly falling somewhere within rock's ever-expanding sphere of influence including, but not limited to: Dylan, The Band, The Who, Hendrix, The Dead, Sabbath/Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Trent Reznor, Zeppelin/Plant, Tom Waits, Pink Floyd, Kiss, Doug Sahm, The Clash/Joe Strummer, John Lennon, Anthrax, Dinosaur Jr., J. Mascis, Queen, Rush, Iron Maiden, Yes, Judas Priest/Rob Halford, Santana, Rob Zombie, Vernon Reid, Queensryche, Alice In Chains/Jerry Cantrell, The Police, The Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth, Robbie Robertson, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves, Jane's Addiction/Perry Farrell, Living Colour, Primus/Les Claypool, Iggy Pop, The Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan, Pearl Jam, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Screaming Trees, The Ramones, System of a Down, Turn Me On Dead Man, Lacuna Coil, Avenged Sevenfold....and many more - basically anything and everything that makes the ears bleed and sets the brain on fire.
FIRST THINGS FIRST - I. DON'T. PLAY. COUNTRY. MUSIC!!! [exception: Mike Ness]
I don't care what they say - any so-called rock radio station that sees nothing wrong with playing "Stairway to Heaven", "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Freebird" like 1000 motherfucking times a week deserves to spend eternity in Guantanafuckingmo Bay - that's not Radio, that's GROUNDHOG DAY RADIO. It's a cancer, a blight and a miserable soul-sucking scourge on the airwaves - and BCR is the fucking cure. It's nothing less than the best goddamned rock radio show in Tucson, if not the entire state [that nobody knows about]...120 minutes of pure, free-form sonic bliss that airs every Saturday morning from 3-5 a.m. [AZ TIME] on
Community Radio 91.3 FM KXCI in Tucson, Arizona.
If you're outside Southern Arizona, you can listen online by following this link.
I play a mix of classic and current stuff, mainly drawn from (but by no means limited to) the garage/punk, metal/thrash and alternative/grunge/stoner rock bands of the '70's to the present and seasoned with occasional bits of comedy, satirical news. op-ed and spoken word type-stuff....sometimes it's all about the metal, sometimes it's more punk, sometimes more alt-grunge, but it's never the same from week to week.
And a couple more things - I'm sorry if this makes me uncool or unhip or whatever, but I have no interest whatsoever in promoting local music for the sake of promoting local music, or in adding every single band that sends me a request. I say this because I had a local acoustic/indie/emo/alt-country/whatever solo artist get really fucking offended when I denied his add request.
As much as it may offend or piss people off, I only add bands/artists that are in the general neighborhood of the genres I've described above and see no fucking sense in adding "Billy Joe Jim Bob and His Inbred Jug-Band Ensemble" if I never play Jug-Band music - which I don't - so there.

*see my friend/attorney/spiritual advisor/drinking buddy Ol' Wordy Bastard's profile below for more info. on the tortured psyche behind all this...
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone thoroughly disgusted with the perpetual Groundhog Day of mind-numbing repetition that IS terrestrial rock radio.
People sick of the syndicated swill being churned out by the likes of Alice Cooper and Dee Snider on a certain so-called "Real Rock Station" whose name I will not mention here.
No, I don't have any stories about chemically deranged rock stars, but honestly now, who gives a fat rat's ass about that crap?
I've been chemically deranged enough times in my life and seen my fair share of weird, wild and twisted stuff, so I'm sure I can pull a story out of thin air from time to time.

YYZS plays a an eclectic mix of music, focusing on 80s songs that don't suck (think New Wave, Talking Heads, etc...). So put on your freakiest outfit and come down to the Orpheum to dance.

Their show is not only rockin, but also pretty funny.
