Michigan metal mavens(alliteration!) Besieged have a new four-minute slab of breakdowns up on their Myspace. I've only seen them once, and that on the grass under their brought-from-home tent at Cornerstone Festival '05, but they're killer dudes, and the riffage is raw. Alliteration!
With festival season in full swing, the kids at Rolling Stone have seen fit to reprint long-serving writer Rob Sheffield's Guide to Rock Show Etiquette, as seen in full over here. Be sure to check out the comments afterwards. Hilarious stuff.
Nice(short) interview with Dashboard Confessional braintrust Chris Carrabba over here; he talks about how he can't hold onto Guns 'N Roses's Appetite record - I'm like that with New Found Glory's self-titled album; for some reason I've bought that CD like half a dozen times now. Ridiculous.
The Roots' new record Game Theory(Def Jam) drops August 29th - see what they had to say about aligning themselves with Jay-Z's empire and their thoughts on the late producer J Dilla over here. And one of the new joints is online over here. Sweeeeeet. And for the love of crap, don't give up on 'Game Theory'(the song); give it a minute and then the beat will level you.
