Bizkit Get "Post Nuclear"

According to a post from Fred Durst, when Limp Bizkit head into the studio later this summer to begin work on the follow-up to last year's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, they will be packing plenty of 'tude. "There is so much Hatorade being drunk out there," Durst writes on the official Bizkit site. "Every magazine, paper, band, etc. is on a Limp hating rampage and it is really giving us the fire. We have to much built up inside and we wanna let it all out on the new album."

For now, the band is wrapping up a European tour, and Durst is putting the finishing touches on the video for their next single, "Boiler," but the singer promises the new album will not disappoint loyal Limp fans. "Think 'post nuclear' and you'll, maybe, see the landscape we are visioning."

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
