Friends don't let friends be Emo...

This ridiculous clip is on youtube...

Apparently station WDAZ the ABC affiliate in Devil's Lake/Grand Forks North Dakota had nothing to report on (imagine that) so they decided to do an expose on Emo.

This report is utterly absurd and simply makes North Dakota look extremely ignorant...

Point systems, cutting, suicide?? Take a look...

New Queens of the Stone Age Due This June...

Great News QOTSA is going to be back with a new album in June.

What I wasn't aware of and very pleasantly surprised by the announced cameos by Jules Casablancas and Mark Lanegan.

I thought after the backstage fistfight between Lanegan and Homme a couple years ago we had seen the last of their collaborating on QOTSA albums.

Lanegan can always be forgiven, his voice is just too damn good.

Still sadly, no mention of any reunion with bassist Nick Oliveri...

Lieutenant Dangle hearts Morrissey

This is from a recent interview in regards to the movie "Reno 911 Miami."

From A.V. Club.com

AVC: Lieutenant Dangle, in the film, you wear a pretty well-worn Morrissey
shirt as part of your civvies. How long have you been a Morrissey fan?

JD: I've been a lifelong Morrissey enthusiast. I've written a lot of
cards and letters to him. I haven't gotten any response back, and he's my number
two of my top eight friends on MySpace. On the other side, I've looked at his
MySpace, and I somehow have not made his top eight. So I don't know if this is
kind of a one-way street we've got going here, but Mr. Morrissey, Steven—if I
may call you that—if you are reading this interview, you could do me the solid
of putting me in your top eight.

Classic stuff...

NWA / Oasis - Straight Out Of Compton / D'You Know What I Mean?

I was eating some overrated pizza today with my friend Dan here in Boston, when an intersesting trivia point came up for the first time in a while.

Back in 1997 D'You Know What I mean was the first single off of Be Here Now. According to Noel Gallagher the drums from "D'you Know What I Mean" were sampled from Straight Out Of Compton. Interesting tid-bit.



Here are the 2 Songs to Compare...
