It’s Sunday, November 4th, 2007. We’ll avoid my amusing anecdotes tonight and jump right into this. You don’t want to hear me muse about yard work, it’s really not that interesting. Well it is to me, but I suppose you folks want something more exciting. Not that raking the leaves and putting down some winter fertilizer is boring per se, it’s just that it would be one of those entirely personal stories that has no relevance to the article. You know what I mean. A bad opening all around.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
This inadvertently turned into Fat Wreck Week here at the Org. We had news on the Loved Ones‘ upcoming full length Build & Burn. With the band now featuring members of the Explosion and the record produced by members of the Bouncing Souls, we can’t wait to hear the results. Russ Rankin of Good Riddance spoke out about the demise of the band and his future plans. Strike Anywhere chatted about the band’s Taco Bell promotion and plans for an upcoming acoustic EP. It was also announced that Eric Melvin would join Me First and the Gimme Gimmes for their Australian tour. Speaking of NOFX, the band will join acts like Sick of it All, Streetlight Manifesto and Hot Hot Heat at upcoming Rock for Darfur gigs.
In non-Fat news… there was word that the site of the legendary CBGB would reopen as a high-end fashion boutique. …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead ripped into ripped into Interscope following their departure from the label. Epitaph Records picked up a major refugee themselves by signing Story of the Year. Pete Wentz of mainstream rockers Fall Out Boy broke his foot, but the band’s shows will go on as planned. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day spoke out about being a middle-aged punk, the music business and more. The Armstrong interview wasn’t the only interesting thing to come from Rolling Stone this week, as the magazine assembled an “Indie Rock Universe” art project featuring a number of familiar bands. On the video front we were treated to A Wilhelm Scream‘s “Die While We’re Young” and a clip from Sex Pistols‘ appearance on The Tonight Show.
This week we talked to Tim Kasher of The Good Life and Cursive (interview). The fifteenth edition of Vinyl File featured a further look at the vinyl history of NOFX. Our Editors’ Picks of the week featured music from Dave House of the Steal, Junius and Crosstown Rivals.
