The People Must Have Something Good To Read On A Sunday
This week's most popular stories
This past week ended with some news from Asian Man Records, mostly on the bummer side of the scale. The
Matt Skiba solo album we've been waiting for was delayed and
Ben Weasel decided to take his ball and go home, severing all ties with the label. No word as to why. We heard about
Bomb The Music Industry!'s
upcoming "Bring Your Own Band Tour" which sounds... interesting. The young'ns in
O Pioneers!!! are rolling out on tour with Against Me! and
Roll The Tanks in California this winter.
There was quite a bit of old guard/late 90's nostalgia going on this week. We heard that
Pennywise was
gearing up for a new album and tour while the
Mad Caddies are building a "Best Of" album via fan votes. Mine is for "The Bell Tower" about 12 times.
ALL is heading out on tour with
Off With Their Heads and
Shot Baker, which has some of our editors singing Mass Nerder back to front in anticipation. When they run out of politics, animal rights and Fat Mike jokes,
Propagandhi shows their true colors and
wax poetic about hockey. Hold off on the "Where Are They Now..." VH1,
Wizo is back! New album and tour in the works.
The lovable chaps in
Fucked Up unveiled their plans for splits with
NOFX and
The King Khan and BBQ Show and a remake of "Do They Know It's Christmas." That last one can't end well.
We heard some
concerns about underground music venues in Los Angeles and our commenters had their own experiences to talk about surrounding that as well.
I Can't Control My Fingers I Can't Control My Brain
