Computer just decided to destroy over an hour's worth of my time. So I start over, with a fond look forward to when Bill Gates himself opens my envelope of Ebola inhalant.
Deftones are whipping butt and taking names. Deftones is quite the rock and roll ruckus.
Speaking of that, Planes Mistaken For Stars destroyed Club SAW last night. They might've been brilliant, or they might've sucked; it was so brutally loud I had a hard time deciding one way or the other. Is Grace Enough and Viscera's Recital opened up; check out some pictures while you're bored.
I saw Kris Roe from The Ataris on MuchMusic yesterday wearing a Hot Hot Heat t-shirt. The reason I was enduring MuchMusic drivel to begin with? To see Thousand Foot Krutch, who NEVER SHOWED. Then TFK frontman Trevor McNevan was on Off The Record(TSN), and he was singularly useless. I think he had one thing to say during the ten minutes I watched. Then I went off to the PMFS show, and it was The Right Call.
Rolling Stone gives the new P.O.D. two out of five stars. Usually I could care less what they have to say, but check it out: "On 2001's Satellite, these Christian groove-metalers delivered razor-sharp guitars for listeners who might otherwise have been turned off by frontman Sonny Sandoval's proselytizing rhymes. On Payable On Death, that tension has slackened."
EXACTLY. [rockrebel]
In Bands You Don't Need To Hear More About news, Evanescence has postponed their U.S. tour, leaving the Canadian dates intact(how weird is that?). This in the wake of guitarist Ben Moody, who nevertheless appeared in the new video for 'My Immortal'. How is it that Canada doesn't get the shaft this time? Wow.
For the first time in a long time, I just swung by hardcorechristian and there was NO NEWS UPDATE. What's the matter over there, Culver? Geez! It's so hard to get good help these days.
In Bands We All Should Despise With A Fury news, Nickelback are coming to Ottawa in February, and they just had to drag Staind along with them, and look, I remember when Staind were GOOD, okay? Man, they were great on that first album, and now they're bollocks. Good thing Three Days Grace is opening the show, or I'd be out at the Corel Centre with nailbombs.
I saw videos from Hatebreed and Snapcase on MusiquePlus yesterday, proving once again that MQ is SO much better than its Anglophone counterpart. Not even a comparison. When's the last time YOU saw Snapcase on MuchMusic? Please.
Switchfoot are the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live next Monday(the 24th). I've never actually seen them perform a song live, be interesting to see how they are. [relevant]
Mars ILL are huge.
