Apparently, I had Paul Weller all wrong. He hasn’t lost his edge, despite years of boring, watered down soul records. At the Teenage Cancer Trust concert on March 28th, Weller saw a portrait of Sting hanging in the corridor at Royal Albert Hall in London and decided to spit on it. Accoring to NME, he […]

The Smashing Pumpkins announce “comeback” show
March 28th, 2007
What? Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain count as The Smashing Pumpkins? Since when? Oh, since Billy Corgan’s solo album tanked. A full reunion didn’t seem so important, then, I guess. Granted, Billy Corgan was inarguably the creative force in that band, but there were two other players…James Iha and what’s her drugs…D’Arcy? This is exactly […]

Bloc Party retaliates to Oasis slur
March 28th, 2007
Never the wittiest man in the music business, Oasis’ Noel Gallager has slandered Bloc Party as “a band off University Challenge” (a long-running, British television quiz show). Coming from Noel, that’s actually not too bad, considering he wished members of Blur to be smited with Aids back in 1995. But Bloc Party isn’t taking this […]

There’s been an arrest in the Weiland family, but this time it’s not for drugs. I know, I know. I, too, was hoping for that long overdue overdose. Anyway, Ex-Stone Temple Pilots and current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland had his clothes torched by his wife after they had a “brawl” at a luxury hotel […]

March 17th, 2007
After touring five countries in support of her debut, Alright Still, Allen admits she’s “slightly bored”, adding on her Myspace blog, “Life is weird at the moment. Is it really important to break America? If it is I have to write my life off for the next 9 months, playing the same gig answering the […]

Madonna to lend wooden acting prowess to basic cable farce
March 16th, 2007
Madonna will guest star on next season’s Nip/Tuck, which suits both the show’s unabashed ridiculousness and Madonna’s non-acting career perfectly. She’ll probably strip and get humiliated by Julian McMahon’s Dr. Troy, which, admittedly, could be amusing. If anything, the woman does remain well-toned. Then, she can write a another shambolic children’s book to cleanse herself of her […]

Hints of Interpol’s return as Carlos D. flexes kegel muscles in anticpation of another tour
March 13th, 2007
After allegedly breaking up four times over the past two years (and then signing to Caplitol), Interpol has been in NYC recording the follow-up to Antics, which, unsurprisingly, remains untitled. However, there is one new song title, “Mammoth”, with which to tease you. A tentative release date is set for early summer and according to […]
