- In what has to be the most fury-inspiring tour ever, the fake INXS and a supposedly reunited version of the English Beat, which is composed of ONE original member, vocalist/guitarist Dave Wakeling, are reportedly touring together for a few British dates. We would like to turn these bands attention to our handy guide, Rolling Stone’s Rules for the Fair Use of Important Band Names, which we feel will best communicate our feelings on this.
- When the news broke that this year’s Ozzfest would be free, we wondered which bands would be willing to forgo their usual rates and perform at the event. The answer: Lamb of God, Hatebreed, and Lordi, apparently. The bands have all confirmed they will participate in Ozzfest 2007.
- Book your hotel for SXSW 2008 today! The festival may have just ended, but the dates for next year’s event — March 12 – 16 — have apparently already been announced. Insanity.
- We can’t decide how we feel about the news that there will be a Jeff Buckley greatest hits compilation. On the one hand it’s like Grace is all you really need. It’s his only real studio album, it’s perfect, untouchable. But there is a handful of other worthy Buckley material culled from live performances and from the unfinished My Sweetheart the Drunk album. So perhaps it would be nice to hear those on one album? Still, someday we’ll have to stop mining this man’s fragile, woefully short life for more pieces of him and just be grateful for what we got.
