- Dude – some brave indie blog called MTV.com (must be ironic?) is streaming the ENTIRE NEW WHITE STRIPES ALBUM. Check it out now before they get totally busted!
- The hair band Poison is releasing an all-cover album called Poison’d, and Stereogum has an mp3 of them trying a metal version of “Sexyback.” Any comment I make here would make this piece of news less of a joke, so I will abstain.
- Place your bets: would you expect a band called “Mike Rep & the Quotas” to sound like A) A goofy combination of They Might Be Giants and Weezer, or B) Gritty, early Stooges? Hint: I lost my bet. (Merry Swankster)
- Has anyone ever complained about having to listen to Blue Oyster Cult’s “Burnin’ For You”? Besides probably A.J. Soprano at some point? (T-Sides)
- Also, remember the era when U2 winning twelve Grammy Awards a year was almost somewhat justifiable? I Am Fuel, You Are Friends does.
