Trent Reznor, The Strokes' singer Julian Casablancas and veteran Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees will all appear on the new album from Queens of the Stone Age. It'll be called Era Vulgaris, due in stores in June. [SPB]

I really don't like them much, but I know lots of y'all out there do, so here you go: stream the new Modest Mouse album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

Bad Religion's new album New Maps of Hell will contain seventeen tracks, according to the online rumour mill. At 2:30 each, it'll still be good for one bus up to school for me.

Good gravy - it's well-known at this point that Starbucks is setting up their own little music fiefdom, establishing a record label to further take over the entire known world, and who is their first artist? A guy you might have heard of - Paul McCartney, who is severing his ties with his label of forty-three years(Capitol) to jump aboard the Good Ship St. Arbucks. This means Wings, his solo stuff, all now the property of a coffee company. For pity's sake, people.

Meshuggah are writing another album, doubtless filled with 16/18 riffs, blastbeats up the yin-yang and conceptual songs we can't even begin to imagine.

I demoed a few songs earlier today on my way to work: check out an e-card from Life In Your Way, whose newest effort Waking Giants is in stores as of this second, and it sounds really good.

The new album Saturday Night Wrist might be tanking as you read this, but The Deftones are still one of the best bands around.

Just some personal opinion, given how big the band is in the hardcore scene: Comeback Kid's newest Broadcasting may be their finest album yet. Thoughts? Opinions? Ideas?
