Just thought I'd point out that Eric Gagne, the closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has converted 72 straight save opportunities. Baseball has never seen anything remotely like this - and he's from Montreal. OOOH CAAANADAAAA!!!!!
Converge, in the middle of recording their upcoming album, have found time to commit to playing Aggressive Music Fest in New York as well as Hellfest in New Jersey this summer. Check out the links for all the information. [buzzgrinder]
The new issue of HM magazine has several outstanding pieces, including a review of MxPx live in Florida, the first real article on Squad 5-0 since their signing to Capitol Records months ago(their new album should be amazing), and the cover story, a tour journal by managing editor David Allen covering three days in the life of Underoath. On newsstands now, or hit up the mag's website for tons more.

Bane have a new album tentatively coming out this fall through Equal Vision Records. I'm a really big fan of their live show.
Essential listening for May 8th is Mars Ill's debut album, Raw Materials; featuring amazing tracks like 'Touch and Go' f. Sev Statik and some huge turntablism from DJ Dust, this one is just killer.
