It's Sunday January 14th, 2007. It looks like after an extended holiday break the music industry's rumbled back to life with a fresh slate of lawsuits, career jeopardizing business implosions and other such fun. At some actual music will dominate the headlines again, but not yet. You remember music right? Organized sounds expressed in terms of pitch, rhythm and all that? It's pretty cool. The people must have something good to read on a Sunday This past Friday V2 Records was eviscerated, and where this leaves the Blood Brothers, the Adored and most prominently the Alkaline Trio remains to be seen. Yet more details on the legal war between Victory Records and the Hawthorne Heights were unveiled this week. Since those two don't seem to be patching things up very well, let's welcome Aiden as the argument-inducing Victory act of 2007. This summer's Warped Tour continues to take shape, with the Matches and Escape The Fate hopping on board along with Coheed and Cambria. The Maryland Metal & Hardcore Festival projects a slightly different image from Warped, what with the Earth Crisis reunion and all that. On the touring front we posted dates for the Against Me! / Riverboat Gamblers / Fake Problems shows, info on the Aquabats' "last" gig before they "go underground" and the announcement that pop-darlings Fall Out Boy were headling the 2007 Honda Civic Tour. We post around 25 or 30 Lifetime articles every hour, and this week we featured the "Airport Monday Morning" video, details on record release shows, and music from the band's new single. Finally that yearly rumor of a new My Bloody Valentine record cropped up again, but I wouldn't hold your breath or anything. Our Video Of The Week featured part two of a interview / performance from The Draft, live in Virginia Beach, VA. Our MP3 Of The Week pick for the week featured new BYO act and post-Tsunami Bomb band Nothington. Click Read More to see this week's streaming music, contests and other highlights.
