Five-piece rockers From Satellite -- Ian McDonnell on vocals, Armand Tambouris and Ryan Cleary on guitars, Justin Huth on bass, and Pat Pedraza on drums -- started in early 2001 and have been rockin' ever since. After a few lineup changes and much roadwork, the band signed to upstart label Pat's Record Company and in 2004 issued their debut album, When All Is Said And Done. The album was produced by vet Matt Hyde (No Doubt, Monster Magnet, Hotwire), and features tunes like the epic "Hundred Days," the grinding "Fair is Fair," and mid-tempo ballad "Just Another Girl," perfectly showcasing their mix of hard rock riffs and catchy, pop-driven melodies.

Mark Cotta Vaz stopped by to talk about his book Living Dangerously: The Adventures of Merian C. Cooper Creator of King Kong.

According to Vaz, Cooper did more before breakfast that you will do in your entire life: He fought in three wars, was an explorer and aviator, traveled the world, shot King Kong and had about a billion other interesting, death-defying adventures. 

What are you doing with your day? Get off the couch! Turn off your computer and go get some LIFE, man.

Okay. Forget it. Just order the DVD of the original King Kong and see exactly what made Cooper a legend.
