It’s Sunday, December 16th, 2007. Dial “A” for AWESOME more like it. Since I’m filling in, I decided to let you know that Adam’s not the only 4th level dork around there parts. On to this week’s news.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Our friends in Against Me! can’t stay out of the spotlight, as they were named “Album of the Year” by Spin and made appearances elsewhere as well. Rumor has it Tom tied the knot this weekend as well, congratulations!
Another Gainesville band you might have heard of added Lucero, the Lawrence Arms, Static Radio and Samiam to various shows while Chicago’s favorite drunks posted a track from their recent BBC Sessions. Their alter-ego Cornish Gay Men ended up on a “Worst Names of ’07” list alongside The Color Fred, the Graduate and a few others. A year-end list of note also surfaced from Mr. Brett of Bad Religion.
Blink182 posted a Christmas classic from their early days (Blink-182: “I Won’t Be Home for Christmas”) while Sir Tom mused about Angels and Airwaves‘ plans for ’08. Touring with the White Stripes won’t be on the bill, as they may swear off the road forever, Beatles style. Against Me! are on the road however, this time with the Foo Fighters. Other plans for ’08 included Panic! At the Disco setting a date
In the “Left Field” category there’s Fearless taking punk to crunk. Who knew? Similarly, but far more ridiculous was a writer blamimg Conor Oberst for Omaha shootings. Also, apparently mum’s the word when it concerns Foxboro Hot Tubs and you’re in Green Day. You can grab their debut EP.
We interviewed San Franciscans via Renoicans Cobra Skulls: Cobra Skulls (interview Part 1). This week’s Vinyl File was an interview with Mike Park and a chance to win Goddamnit
This week we sadly said goodbye to Lynette Knackstedt of Skankin’ Pickle.
