Here is an inside look of the moment I world premiered “Up All Night” from Blink 182 on The World Famous KROQ. Radio was fun and exciting yesterday. Thank you Blink 182. Yes I’m a 100% radio nerd and fan. I couldn’t imagine working at a station where I was not passionate and excited about the music. I was also a tad nervous.

The Delivery Boy in the Parking Lot was who?
As I drove into the KROQ parking lot last week, I noticed a man too good looking to just be a normal employee of the station. As I drove past this man, I noticed it was Gavin Rossdale, what the hell was he doing in our parking lot? I soon found out the answer.
Gavin was there to bring me the brand new single from Bush called “The Sound of Winter”. Again, this was a day in my little radio world that excited me. Being the first in the world to play a song from a well known artist in this day and age is not easy to do. So many songs leak well ahead of release dates these days.
How is Gavin you ask? He is a very cool guy. Gracious, appreciative, determined, tough and ready to do what’s needed for success. His excitement was evident to me as I blasted the new Bush song out to the city of Los Angeles.
The Sea of Memories is the first Bush album in 10 years and will be out September 13, 2011.
