4-1-2024 Linn-Mar job shadow, Corey Wadsley

New

Lincoln park friendly fire on rock 108.

I love it.

Uh, my question to you is this Russ.

Yeah.

Good morning, by the way morning.

Uh,

How many more hidden tracks do you think Mike should notice holding on to with Chester Bennington?

I don't know, but if they're as good as that one, I approve.

Because usually these tracks that get released after people's deaths, the stuff that they weren't going to release anyway.

It's like, no, that one sucks.

We're not going to put that out.

Yeah.

And then after they die, it's like, oh, look, we have a track that we used to think sucks.

And now it's great.

But this one I truly think

is a is a great track.

Right now working its way up towards the top.

I think it's in the top five this week.

It's very,

very well.

We've got coming up here on New Music Monday.

We've been floating around this one in the music meetings that we do on Mondays because the guy is the guitarist for Breaking Benjamin.

Yes.

And a year ago, he was managed by Bob Hathaway, our friend up in Chicago.

Yeah.

And he put out a song then that was very singer song writing.

Very, dare I say, Elton Johnish.

Cruel heart.

Was that the one?

Yeah.

OK.

And it was a really cool song, but it didn't really fit the rock format.

Now he's come back and he signed to a major.

I think he signed to a major and the song rocks.

He's on BMG right now.

Yeah.

The thing that I.

At first, it took me a second because I don't pay attention to every member of every band every time.

Right.

I was like, is this Morgan Wallin's brother who is in country music?

I thought there might be some tie.

No.

But is there?

We don't know.

Maybe he's a cousin.

Second, third cousin.

Hey, let's go on over.

Let's

have some fun.

New Music Monday.

It's a track called Headspace Holiday.

We'll have it next.

So for a new Music Monday, we're welcoming somebody into the studio who is, for some reason, wanting to get into this crazy business of Radio Russ.

Russ, with New Music Monday, I wanted to get not only- I'm sorry,

Yeah.

You know, they just redid the high school that I went to and it's all due.

It was, it was good.

Russ, your thoughts on Keith Wallen headspace holiday.

I think it's a very good mainstream rock song.

I agree.

I could have used a guitar solo, but I like guitar solos.

But

yeah, the text line, which we're tuning to now, P1 rock crusher, Drew and Guttenberg said solid song three and Cedar Rapids.

He says the song is wearing two day jeans, day two jeans, but in a good way.

It's what?

Day two jeans.

You haven't washed them.

Oh, OK.

Kim.

I love Keith Wallen, saw him open up for Allison Chains, Bush and Breaking Benjamin when the opener vehicle broke down.

He'll be in Iowa City a couple of weeks.

System of Down with Chops Suey.

Chop suey system of a down with rock 108 to Russ hanging out and Corey who's Chateau-ing to figure out if he wants to be in this radio business.

He's a little

Cory from Linnimar.

Hello Is that your anchor

voice?

No, I just scream really loudly.

Do you?

Yeah, like full-on metal scream.

That's interesting

Russ said that about He was like the first time he heard me doing part time

He goes, why is it that your Midwest guys are all yelling?

He says, you guys have all these big voices, and this microphone can pick you up just fine.

I

don't know.

You got to get the audience's attention.

You got to be loud.

Is that how that works?

Russ, what

do you

think?

I think when you learn to be relatable, it will replace loud,

because

people will relate to you hard, and they'll say, wow, that's my guy right there.

Yeah, Corey, write that down.

20

worst songs of the 90s.

Two of us lived through the 90s.

One of us did not.

Who

was

that for?

I have no idea.

Not me.

Russ.

Any guesses?

I'm just going to throw it out there.

There's 20 songs on this particular list.

There are some rock songs in it, too.

Well, I put tub thumping on there by Chumbawamba.

Interesting

to note.

that we actually play.

I can judge whether the songs be long

on the list or not.

All right.

Limb Biscuits, George Michael Cover of Faith.

Number one on this

BuzzFeed list.

with

this.

That's what you should do.

God loved it.

You're an event seven fold fan.

Is there any of the songs?

I know they're not 90s, but that belong on this worst list.

Oh I've got to go with some of that the new album probably like Mattel.

Maybe I'm gonna be honest What was

that long boring song we played a few months ago?

Nobody nobody nobody.

Yeah, I'd say that one's probably

It's it's not the best.

I'm gonna be honest.

This is coming from a

guy who is literally wearing the event seven-fold hat and shirt right

now, and I'm not making that

up.

Yeah Allison chains coming up in the latest from a trio called gone The latest from a trio called gone on rock 108 just before 10 o'clock and Corey from Lin Mar was doing a job shadow here today and

Russ, if you were to give this next generation of someone that wants to get into the world of radio, any advice, what advice would you give the Cori here today?

Radio

or TV, same advice.

Okay.

When you're learning it, they're gonna give you, they're gonna fill your head with all kinds of rules.

You never become really good until you forget them all.

All right, yeah.

It's just like, let them tell you the rules.

Kind of learn the basics of the rules and then say, I'm done with the rules because people will not gravitate towards you until you sound like you and not what they're telling you to do.

Just screw them all.

Say thank you for the diploma.

Now I'm gonna do it my way.

All right, that's great advice.

Are

you going to write that one down?
