New Band Recommendation: House of Atreus. I was listening to this Undecided Records sampler obtained at the Warped Tour and it was a bunch of emo bands and some hardcore-ish bands and then this cute little hiphop-based quirky song by Things In Herds - and House of Atreus absolutely wrecking my sphere with the metal. I haven't been so shocked/disoriented by extreme music since I first heard Training For Utopia on a dark night years ago. Nice.
If you have a myspace page - and if you're reading this, more than likely you do - you're now the property of the same clown that owns FOX TV. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has purchased Intermix Media for $770 million in cash(cash!), with Intermix also exercising their option to purchase the forty-seven percent of myspace that they didn't already own. There's a lot more business-speak we could report, but we're still stuck on the image of $770 million in cash. [IVM]
Cash!! Jeez Louise!
Oh, and just so everyone knows, sweetdisaster Big Cheese tried to get myspace.com/sweetdisaster tonight, but it's been taken by some random chick in the LBC. That's Long Beach, California for those who are clueless. Also home to EDL back in the day. But still. I'm ticked.
