Today's Essential Listening(I know, I know, we don't exercise that feature daily like we used to, shut up already) is Sunny Day Real Estate's 2000 'comeback album' The Rising Tide. Sure, Diary is better known, and maybe considered more "seminal," but this record simply has better songs.
Weezer is aiming to have a new studio album out in the first half of 2008. No title or tracklisting or anything of that nature - but I beg you, Rivers, I abjectly beg you: build a time machine, and in it, go back to wherever your headspace was for Pinkerton. Selfish on my part? Absolutely. [punknews]
Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge, aside from his perennially being one of the largest human beings on Warped, is also apparently a film connoisseur of sorts, and the folks at movieweb.com have him writing a new column. Check out his first installment over here! Don't disagree with him, or he'll pound your sorry ass.
The boys in Lovedrug aren't about to let a van theft(occurred two months ago) get in the way of their aspirations: a tour opening for Yellowcard this fall is in the works. I'll go see that.
Safe to say pre-Friday Night Lights this probably wouldn't have happened: Explosions In The Sky are set to open for Smashing Pumpkins on the latter's first tour in forever.
Know the Score = a good mood. Proof.
