Hey Hot Topic Kids!

Cartel has finished their bubble album, and yes... it is going to totally suck. Holy crap! Isn't that guy in the back from mewithoutyou? Nah, but I bet you wished he was.

Ken Stringfellow's The Disciplines

Ken Stringfellow is a busy guy, when not being in R.E.M., The Posies, working on his solo album, or answering questions of what it was like in Lagwagon (Double Plaidinum!), he has been ,mainly in Europe and has started a new band called the Disciplines. If you liked Ken Stringfellow before, you are gonna love it. If not, get Soft Commands.

Just Quit Already

Your band sucks, your guitar player is dying, your bass player is a washed up drug addict, and your singer belongs on a beach in 1987. Motley Crue has got their panties wadded up because Tommy Lee doing crappy reality shows makes them look bad and cost them some money. Here is the actual statement:


"The Dr. Feelgood band sued one of their managers Monday, claiming that Carl Stubner made business decisions with his own interests in mind and gave Lee bad career advice, which in turn tarnished the group's image."

Tarnished Image? SHUT UP! You tarnished it from the beginning. Just face the fact that comebacks don't come to everybody, especially washed up 80's hair metal bands.

Due us a favor and break up for good or only tour Japan, where 5 people bought your last album.

Happy Birthday Nick Drake!

We could have said happy birthday to Paula Abdul, but Nick Drake made classics in his short lifespan and influenced songwriters for generations to come. Nick Drake didn't sing with a cartoon cat.

Conspiracy?

Does anyone else but me notice how Nick Cave looks like Ben Folds?

Dun Dunn DUNN!

Bobby Bobby Bobby...

Robert Pollard has got two albums coming out this fall. If one of those albums doesn't say "Guided By Voices", a bunch of dudes in their 30's who still wear flannel are gonna be pissed. We will still buy the albums and love them, but we will always have a special place for GBV in our hearts. Please do the standard, we broke up- will get back together in 5 years thing.

Saves The Day are making a new album. Who is actually in the band now? They change members almost as much as Zao. Bazing!
