Bad, stop it! Now!

Sonic Youth had asked friends and fans to list their favorites for a special comp! That sounds awesome, but then it turned to crap...


It's gonna be released to be sold at Starbucks.

If you were ever to lose hope in music, now might be the time to do it.

It's no rumor...

Coalesce are getting back to playing shows. Do they ever really break up? Sean Ingram sent this to punknews:

"Instead of looking at coalesce as a second career or some ego-stroking project to prove something within modern music, it is being held closely and personally by the members as their time to put aside familial duties, work, school, or whatnot, and simply “do it.” In short, we just want to hang out together again and play our shows out of a peculiar love for doing so (in all it’s ugly purity). Please let us make it very clear that this is not a “reunion” tour in any way shape or form. Since it’s simply the nature of Coalesce to come and go as it pleases, terms like “reunion” make no sense when applied to it. "

You could kind of tell...

Ryan Adams revealed in a recent interview that he was insanely addicted to drugs prior to last year. We kind of had the idea when you have lyrics like "if I could have my way, I'd take some drugs." Mixing coke and heroin and outdrinking everyone at the same time, the dude put back way too much and is lucky to be alive.

It's a good thing he quit while he did, or who knows where he would have ended up:

Those damn hippies!

Jazz Innovator/Grammy Award Winner/Pulitzer Prize winning genius, Ornette Coleman passed out to heatstroke at Bonaroo. Patchouli does not count as medicine! You take care of our living legends you sandal lovers!

Uh... Okay...

Man, I love the Beatles. Who doesn't really? Ringo Starr was awesome in the Beatles, and his legacy will always have that. One thing though, Ringo is releasing a "best of" of his solo work. For real? I seriously can't name one non-beatles, Ringo Starr song at all.

Talking that crap...

Alright, so I made the mistake of waking up and not wacthing the news and decided to see what were on the music channels before I went out this morning.

First off, Maroon 5:

Bro Parties should not make bands! This crap sounds like 80's cocaine music trying to achieve "virtual insanity". I swear that Miami Vice misses this band so bad. Expect sports coats with acid wash jeans and pink t-shirts on dudes (Joe Piscopo) to come who think they will get chicks from listening to this trite.

Next up, Curtis/50 Cent:

Every time this guy opens his mouth, millions of whiteboy rapper wannabes get "ideas". Rap's biggest overbite was on TV this morning saying that without agressive content or sex that "music wouldn't exist". What a frickin idiot. He was also talking about "what a great talent" Justin Timberlake was and how his new album is going to change the game. You will never be as cool as Biz Markee, ever.
Lastly, there was this commercial for Bon Jovi Unplugged. If that wasn't already bad enough they got that heroin addict kid from the All American Rejects to sing some songs with them. It's like a double stuffed oreo, but instead of filling, you get crap.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRICKIN' MIND!?

The drummer from Dillinger Escape Plan quit to work on Coheed and Cambria! HOLY CRAP! That is almost as dumb a decision as letting Michael Jackson watch your kids! That dude needs to stop tripping acid and letting jam bands persuade him into bro parties like that!
