Looks like Ba Da Bing Ben and the Kickstarter kids raised $40k for Mr. Knox. Didn’t get a ticket? You can always support Chris and buy a copy of the tribute album. It’s nice to see the outpouring of support continue almost a year later. We here at the drawer have a soft spot for […]

Benefit for Knox raises $40k
March 30th, 2010
So, you’ve totally been waiting for a new INXS record, right?
February 24th, 2010
Well, you’re going to be super-stoked because not only is INXS putting out a new record, it’s also kinda/sorta simultaneously putting out an old record but with new singers on old songs. Sound awesome? Or more like a desperate attempt to drum up some business, using the cheapest, most shameless means possible? Well, it gets […]

Director set for Cobain biopic
February 19th, 2010
Universal Studios is finally moving forward on the Kurt Cobain biopic with Oren Moverman set to direct and supervise the screenplay.

After a somewhat acrimoniously worded letter of departure some 14 years ago, Alan Wilder has returned to Depeche Mode for a one-off show at London’s Royal Albert Hall benefiting the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Writer David Kamp’s recent tribute to John Hughes, the godfather of 80’s teen-angst for film, was a feature spread in Vanity Fair, which also included a few sidebar interviews with some of the actors synonymous with Hughes’ films. In Ringwald’s segment, she talks about her teenage obsession with […]
MTV stands for what exactly?
February 9th, 2010
With MTV’s removal of the words “Music Television” from its iconic logo, the reality network finally admits, however passively, that music is in no way a driving force behind its existence anymore. This is news to absolutely no one, much less to the train-wreck-craving rubberneckers who seem glued to watching Guidos confirm that America is […]

With no understanding of the concept of supply and demand, Hole reunites, anyway
January 13th, 2010
It’s not news to hear that Courtney Love is an embarrassing trainwreck, but this Hole reunion is scraping the resin off the bottom of the barrel. First of all, no one cares. No one liked Hole to begin with. The only reason anyone paid any attention to the band’s second album, Live Through This, was […]
