What’s new, pussycat?  Well, I’ll tell ya:

We are excited to announce the arrival of the latest member of the 91X family, Nico Cantore! Chris and his lovely bride Heather welcomed their brand new baby boy at 4:19 on Friday morning. Mom, Dad and baby are healthy and deliriously happy.

Sonic Youth put the cherry on top of an already sweet, sweet day. They’re opening for Pearl Jam at the Cox Arena, but first they popped by for an intimate X-Session on Marco’s show. They had get out of here pretty quickly afterward ‘cause it’s Tuna Noodle Casserole Night on Eddie Vedder’s tour bus. He doesn’t like it when you’re late for dinner.  If you missed the songs on-air, here are links to the x-session versions of Incinerate, Reena, and Jams Run Free.

4 O'clock Fridays in Del Mar are back, and 91X is bringing you free (FREE!!!) concerts with your track admission! The season kicks off Friday, July 23 with the Flaming Lips followed by the Violent Femmes, Pinback, Alice in Chains, Matt Costa, Louis XIV, and more all playing 91X concerts where the turf meets the surf. Next week, we're giving you the chance to win free tickets to all nine 4 O'clock Friday concerts, every 91 minutes! First chance to win is with Chris and me in the morning. We will announce a 4 O'clock Friday artist, and when we play them the ninth caller wins tickets to the entire season.

Start crackin’ those knuckles, ‘cause this Monday (and every Monday in July) Ruggy and I will be in Mission Beach at the Wave House for the Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament! Listen every Monday morning to Cantore in the Morning to get onto the tournament guest list. We’re giving away a ton of stuff, including a trip Vegas for the grand champion each week!

Talk to you later, beautiful.
