In somewhat surprising news, The Chariot's new album The Fiancee debuted at #169 on the Billboard Top 200 with seven thousand copies sold. Can anyone imagine if Botch existed now instead of ten years ago? How many copies would they have moved? [lambgoat]

Apparently, former Pedro the Lion frontman Dave Bazan is so disillusioned with American Christianity that he'd prefer his 2-1/2-year old daughter not know any Bible stories or anything about Jesus. Hmm. I'm well aware of what a provocative statement that is, so I'll just save my own skin by giving one and all the link it came from. [buzzgrinder]

Correction: due to some other idiot's difficulty with the English language, we misinformed one and all of the name of Vagrant Records' new heavy-music imprint - it's called Density Records, and not, as previously stated, 'Destiny.' I hope whoever originally misled us is duly punished.

In the wake of Thursday's canceling their 2007 touring plans, My Chemical Romance have recruited The Bled to open instead on their Canadian run, including a stop here in Ottawa May 10th at Scotiabank Place. The rest of the Canadian dates:
May 09th Montreal, QC - Bell Centre
May 11th Toronto, ON - Air canada Centre
May 12th London, ON - John Labatt Centre
May 15th Winnipeg, MB - MTS Centre
May 16th Saskatoon, SK - Credit Union Centre
May 17th Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place
May 18th Calgary, AB - Pengrowth Saddledome
May 20th Vancouver, BC - Virgin Festival

Ozzy Osbourne has a new single out, but we've put some thought into this, and are so confident that the new song is an abomination that we won't even put up the customary link to it. No. Not us. Not this time.
