I have never been prouder of my Dutch heritage than this moment: scanning my brother's blog, the latest entry was this story. I'm still putting all the pieces together - a joke that'll be funnier after you've read the piece.
Oh man, Mike Patton's at it again. The former Faith No More frontman(also affiliated with Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk) will team up with human beatbox Rahzel(formerly of The Roots) for two New York City shows, December 28th and 29th. I really should go, but nah. [theprp]
Linkin Park are writing a new album for release next year. My question is this: does anyone care? When's the last time you heard Linkin Park on the radio?
And speaking of such things, Korn were the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night(hosted by the unbelievably gorgeous Eva Langoria of Desperate Housewives fame), and it was apparent to one and all that they're simply through. They're down to a four-piece with the departure early this year of guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch, who converted to Christianity, and that leaves the four of them looking just like it's still 1994, only they're older and and drummer David Silveria makes money on the side as a male model. So new track 'Twisted Transistor' was really weak, and for their second slot they went back to 1996's Life Is Peachy, playing 'Lost'(I think; can't remember offhand, though I do own the album), and overall, it was just rather pathetic. I'm sure they're nice dudes, but yeah, they gotta pack it in. Their website's pretty slick though.
And one more bit of Please Stop Making Music Now news: Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has a new project called Black Light Burns, whose debut Epic Records will release next spring. If you're really masochistic, you can listen to them over here. Now that I've already prejudged and trashed this, watch it be the greatest thing since The Beatles.
Love The Chariot and their quirky song titles? We do!! And now, to follow up 'Yanni Depp', which the band posted a couple weeks ago, we present to you now 'Phil Cosby', the second posted song from the Chariot's upcoming Unsung EP, right over here. [punknews]
