It’s Sunday May 27th, 2007. I’m so clairvoyant I predict one of next weeks biggest stories will arrive around at around midnight tonight. You should all prove me wrong by ignoring it and not commenting on it at all. Just go to bed early. Get some sleep. You really need to rest more you look horrible.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
So first I break a lace and for the life of me can’t find a long enough replacement, and now this. Advertising images peddling boots from U.K. based Dr. Martens was unveiled — and it featured the photo-manipulated sales-angels of Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Sid Vicious and Kurt Cobain. After a few days of negative feedback (including some from Joey Ramone’s brother) the makers of the iconic rock-related boot apologized for the the “unauthorized” campaign, firing their ad agency in the process. Aside from that, we had a deluge of Green Day news, among them an appearance by the the band on a popular TV talent show performing John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero.” The band apparently won’t be featured on the Simpsons Movie soundtrack, despite the fact that they’re in it (that honor goes to Fall Out Boy, which I guess is sort of fitting), but they will contribute to the score. Oh, and just to get you all riled up Rolling Stone named American Idiot the best comeback album ever.
This week saw Vinnie confirme earlier reports that Less Than Jake had left Warner / Sire. The much loved “Goddamnit” album from the Alkaline Trio (cough) will be re-issued soon via Asian Man. Cartel launched their much debated, corporate sponsored bubble stunt. Against Me! kept in the press, with a tour diary from Tom Gabel and a video interview from Warren Oakes. Whole Wheat Bread talked their upcoming album while Good Riddance announced that their final show will be recorded for a live album. Finally, Utah joined the list of US states to have their own little moral panic over the big spooky “emo” movement that’s corrupting the kids.
Our Video of the Week featured Richmond, VA’s Landmines while our Editors’ Picks featured music from Bracewar, Jewdriver and an animated Calvin & Hobbes clip, just because. We streamed new music this week from the Gaslight Anthem, their entire new album, in fact.
