Watch the video below, then email us, freaks@afreakaccident.com.

We want to make sure you’re caught up on the latest and greatest music around, and that’s why on our October 4th, 2018 episode we gave you Music You Can Use.
Started off with some Atreyu. Their new album, In Our Wake, hits your ears October 12th with “The Time is Now” serving as the first single.
We were excited when we got some new Bring Me The Horizon, and had to share it with you. It’s called “Mantra”, which will be part of Amo that comes out January 11th.
Then we got hit in the lobes by Disturbed. Their album, Evolution, is said to be a dynamic release, which we’ll get on October 19th. You first got a taste of it with the hard hitting tune “Are You Ready”, and now you’ll hear the other side of the band with “A Reason To Fight”.
Finally, ending things out with an unreleased track from Chris Cornell called “When Bad Does Good”, which is one of 13 unheard songs from him we’ll hear on a box set coming out November 16th, along with his stuff from Soundgarden, Audioslave, and solo projects.

The Ig Nobel Prize winners are in!
Now in case you don’t know what these are, it’s honoring achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. For example, James Cole got one for calculating that the caloric intake from a human-cannibalism diet is significantly lower than the caloric intake from most other traditional meat diets. Weird, right?
Well, there’s a ton more, and you can hear them on our September 20th, 2018 episode.
The tease is here, and now we wait to see it March 8th, 2019.
Whenever we find new music, we want to make sure you know about it.
And on our August 2nd, 2018 episode we filled your ears with 4 great new songs.
Started things about with the latest release from Muse called “Something Human”. No word on if this will be included on their new disc coming out in the Fall, but it does follow the idea they were teasing; jumping through different eras of music.
And we were waiting for Slash to come back with his solo thing featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, and it’s finally gonna happen September 21st with the release of Living the Dream with “Driving Rain” serving as the first single.
Then it’s a guy named Kulick, who started his musical journey back when he attended high school in our neck of the woods, Tobyhanna, PA, to deal with bullying an anxiety. This is his song “Ghost”.
And finally a new release from Greta Van Fleet. It’s a sneak peak of their first full length album that their completing as we speak, and continues that Led Zeppelin sound with “When the Curtain Falls”
Now that you know, make sure to snatch these up on iTunes, and listen to the episode to hear what we think.

My God, doesn’t that picture say it all. New Coke was a huge Product Flop (Although, some theorize that it may be been the most genius marketing idea ever).
There were many more, and we went over the top 10 in our July 26th, 2018 episode, but if you’d like to see the Full Top 50 List, check it out in this article from 24/7 Wall St.
On our June 7th, 2018 episode we did a News Update where we talked about this soldier, from the National Guard base at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Virginia, who led the police on a chase in an armored vehicle (basically a tank), and we needed to let you see it to believe it.
All of us on the show agree the best segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live is “Mean Tweets”, and it didn’t get much better than when he had the cast of Avengers: Infinity War do it.

No matter how positive you may be, there’s always that moment where you get caught up with negativity. Whether it be from a social interaction, something that happened at work, or out in the dating world, it happens. But on our April 19th, 2017 episode we found out you could fix that in as little as 4 minutes. Dr. Dani Gordon says to do the following steps:
For the first minute, identify the negative thought pattern you’re stuck in before the brain enters into negative mode. “Don’t miss potential threats,” Gordon warns, “and write them all down to get them out of your head.”
For the next three minutes, concentrate on flipping over to the approach network way of thinking by first calming the mind and focusing on breathing. Yes, meditate for a minute. After you steady your breathing, really concentrate and isolate the specific negative thoughts freaking you out. “Don’t worry about why those negative thoughts are there,” Gordon explains, “just observe them.”
And finally, the most crucial step in the 4-minute brain hack is to visualize a positive outcome. Just like an athlete visualizes scoring the game-winning touchdown, focus on the best possible results. “Envision the best possible outcome in as great a detail as possible: Where is this scene? Who is present? What emotions are you feeling? What are you saying and doing? What are other people’s responses, right on down to their facial expressions or the actions they take?”
Dr. Gordon stresses that the faster a person identifies a negative thought, to stop and focus on eradicating the “habit” of turning an unfavorable feeling into hours of downward spiraling into negativity.
So, give it a try, and let us know how it works by emailing us and we’ll share your results on the show.
