As we approach the end of the year on our new broadcast home, we thought it only fitting to feature what you %ndash the proud and passionate JBTV viewers %ndash have called your favorites of 2010.
Leading the views and votes is Against Me%rsquos interview with JBTV host Brendan Kelly and their performance on our HD sound stage. Shot the afternoon of July 3, while the band was in town supporting Silversun Pickups at the Aragon Ballroom, Against Me! blisters through a stripped down set of anthemic pop-punk singalongs including pre-New Wave faves %ldquoPints of Guiness Make You Strong%rdquo and %ldquoI Was a Teenage Anarchist,%rdquo as well as material from their latest release, White Crosses.
In the audience that day was WWE Superstar, CM Punk. Never one to shy from cameras, Punk obliged when we asked him to shoot a post-show interview. Trust us %ndash you don%rsquot need to be a WWE fan or follower to appreciate this former world champ%rsquos reminiscence on growing up watching JBTV and attending sweaty, sold-out shows at Metro as a youngster.
Our friends from Atlanta, Death on Two Wheels, have been such a steadily requested segment since the band delivered this staggering in-studio performance last Spring that it only makes sense to bring them back for another wicked run on JBTV. On the road in support of their most recent EP, Again for The First Time, Do2W offers up their powerful blend of classic and modern rock, fronted by one of the most dynamic personalities (Trae Vedder) making music today. We dare you to watch this segment and not look to see when Death on Two Wheels is coming to town.
Also this week %ndash
Host Tobias Jeg is live at the 2010 Vans Warped Tour with Dan and Derek from Alkaline Trio. Wondering if last week%rsquos JBTV exclusive segment with Matt Skiba at Bottom Lounge triggered a ton of Trio love? Either way, we heard from a lot of you asking us to feature anything and everything Alkaline Trio from 2010. Done.
Toby and Brendan are both on double duty this week as the Static Age duo invades Santacon Chicago. For those unfamiliar, Santacon is an annual gathering of Chicagoans dressed as Santa Claus, spreading good tidings while on a city-wide bar crawl. Hundreds of Santas. Drunk, jolly Santas and right on time for Christmas.
Jerry Bryant revisits his classic JBTV in-studio segment with Joey Ramone. As many times as we watch this, we never grow tired of hearing Ramone pledge his deep-rooted hatred of the %ldquobee girl%rdquo from the Blind Melon video. It%rsquos a rare, awesome piece of footage from the JBTV 25-year archives and it%rsquos back by popular demand!
Because you can realistically watch A Christmas Story 4, maybe 5, times before you can recite each line along with the movie on Christmas Day, JBTV%rsquos got ya covered. 9 PM. NBC Chicago Nonstop (5.2). December 25th.
Thank you for making 2010 the greatest year in JBTV history! Have a safe and happy Christmas from our family to yours.
Against Me!, Alkali...

Against Me! are toning it down a notch for a special acoustic performance here at the JBTV HD sound stage, followed by an in...terview with JBTV host Brendan Kelly. Chicago's own Alkaline Trio have returned to their Midwestern roots with their latest album, This Addiction. Eschewing the major labels, the band instead employed some DIY ethos and self-released the new tunes. JBTV host Toby Jeg catches up with the band on this week's episode as they rock the sun-soaked crowd at Vans Warped Tour in Chicago. For a little change of pace, host Ryan Manno interviews WWE superstar CM Punk, or "The Second City Saint". He's known for his corkscrew diving neckbreaker, inverted frankensteiner and suicide slam. Needless to say, this is a guy you want to keep on your good side. To round out this episode of rabble-rousers, we've got a classic Jerry Bryant interview with the late legendary Joey Ramone.
