really, journalists and bloggers? really?

There are so many hilarious dry puns to be made about this whole Perez Hilton/BEP beatdown, and yet? I've seen NOTHING!

My offerings?

"Boom Boom POW: BEP smash single hits home for Perez Hilton!"

"Perez gets a black eye from the Peas!"

"Perez to BEP: 'Where is the love?'"


That shit writes itself!
Come on guys, kick it into high gear.

best news of my life!

From the Faith No More Facebook page...


"Faith No More's Official Return

Today at 6:47pm
The official statement from the band:

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17 years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.


Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff....

BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.

Who know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:

Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton"

that's entertainment!

I just heard this story on the radio about this band - whose name I won't bother mentioning because they suck hard - who, before they were signed, went to a stop on the Vans Warped Tour and set up a generator outside of the venue where the lineup was, and just started played their songs. Apparently a record company exec heard them and things snowballed from there.

Man, that's pretty cool, I have to say. If you're determined enough to go somewhere with your music, pulling gutsy moves like that is fucking awesome and more bands should do shit like this.
Hey, if you love your band enough and think you deserve to get a record deal, and if you love music enough, then why be bashful? Go all the way, pull out all the stops. Don't just be a pussy and play in shitty clubs on the weekends with all the same people watching you and expect something to happen for you. Make moves. Be grand. Don't be a wimp - create your own hype.
