under the weather

Have come down with a bit of a bug this week. Body ache, but not the usual round of other flu symptoms...hopefully, NyQuil and sleep will have me up and at 'em again. Hear its going around, friends in L.A. also stuck home in bed with the sniffles and Kleenex.

Incredible bullshit taking place in Toronto, huh? Noel Gallagher attacked by some dipshit mid-concert. What the fuck's this world coming to?


Apparently, info on the attacker is available on the internet if anyone wishes to pay the man a visit.

A snippet of a new Snow Patrol song, Take Back The City, can be heard on the band's MySpace page.

Only three more days until the new Metallica album hits the streets. Still no sign of Chinese Democracy, though.


Magazine are reforming for a couple shows in February '09 (London and Manchester). original members Howard Devoto, Dave Formula, Barry Adamson and John Doyle are returning to the fold (Guitarist John McGeoch passed away in '04). Hopefully, this will lead to some Stateside gigs.

George Harrison's son Dhani and his band, the oddly-named Newno2 are doing a September residency at L.A.'s Key Club.

Digging the new AC/DC single, Rock 'n Roll Train.

Did you know Motorhead put out a new album last month? Me neither. It's called Motorizer, of course, and sounds exactly like what we've come to expect from Lemmy. Check out "Teach You How To Sing The Blues". This, of course, reminds me...they're working on a Lemmy documentary. Here's the trailer (Lemmy's joke at the end of the clip is worth the price of admission):
