It's Sunday, September 30th, 2007. I've made it a tradition that I don't actually write intro blurbs on the last day of September. Look into it, I'm not lying.
The people must have something good to read on a SundaySo
who's more evil, Universal or Starbucks?
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon voiced her opinion, responding to fans riled by the band's partnership with the coffee giant on an upcoming favorites collection. I suppose that's no less weird than the
Sex Pistols reuniting to re-record "Anarchy in the UK" for the video game
Guitar Hero III.
My Chemical Romance turned a few heads when Gerald Way
riled against the "emo" label that his band's often stuck with. The
peer-to-peer war escalated this week as well, with BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay going on the offensive and launching lawsuits against the European divisions of the major labels. Does it make you feel old to know that the
Beastie Boys are now
eligible for the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. The band was indeed recently nominated. We had word on a number of new records this week.
NOFX provided the first details on their upcoming live album, unveiling the cover art and nailing down a release date.
Anti-Flag is set to
enter the studio soon with producer Tony Visconti to record their sophomore major label full length. The band also released the track "
Corporate Rock Still Sucks."
Paint It Black wrapped up their
new full length and chatted about it and, well, us. Asian Man also announced plans to
reissue work from the
Lawrence Arms and the
Broadways on vinyl. We saw new videos this week from the
Gaslight Anthem (
"I'da Called You Woody, Joe") and
Avenged Sevenfold (
"Almost Easy").
A Wilhelm Scream released a
batch of new media promoting their new record, but
lost a guitarist along the way.
Streetlight Manifesto announced a
tour alongside
Suburban Legends and the Stitch Up. Finally, because we enjoy horrifying you, we have
Fall Out Boy performing
Green Day's
"Basket Case" and
Paramore tackling
At The Drive-In's
"One-Armed Scissor."Our
Video of the Week featured part four of our video countdown to the Fest 6. This week we checked out a video interview with Dan Yemin of
Lifetime and event founder Tony Weinbender of No Idea Records . The ninth edition of
Vinyl File featured the second and final part of our look at the vinyl output of modern punk favourites the
Alkaline Trio. We also streamed music from
Teddy Duchamp's Army, a Pittsburgh, PA-based band that saw members go on to form/join Anti-Flag, Don Caballero and Voice in the Wire.
