It’s Sunday, October 28th, 2007. It’s deeply touching to know that I can take a few weeks off and my absence will cause all manner of chaos. There’s nothing better for one’s ego, I can assure you. Fear not my children, I’ve cleaned up the debris, we’re having the blood steamed out of the carpet, and the long road to recovery begins.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
What a week to come back to work, with nothing less than news that Hot Water Music is back together. The details are still forthcoming on what their plans are, particularly what this means for future touring, not to mention the Draft and Chuck Ragan‘s solo career. This combined with the recent news of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones‘ reunion shows just has us giddy. Those Hometown Throwdown tickets are selling for exorbitant prices, resulting in an additional New Years show to be planned. However the good news didn’t end with the shows, it looks like the band will also record a few new songs for upcoming collection. It wasn’t all reunions this week, as we’ve seen both the Blood Brothers and Some Girls removed from play. The Brothers are calling it a hiatus for now, at least until the end of the year. Some Girls split sounds a little more concrete though.
As the underground file trading scene reeled from the shut down of Bittorrent site OINK we continued to hear arguments and hand wringing from all sides of the downloading debate. New releases are on the way next year form everyone from prog monsters the Mars Volta (keep an eye out in January) to pop idols Fall Out Boy (and they’re promising that it’ll be bizarre). Popular act Finch is back together for a show this November as well. We had videos from Streetlight Manifesto, who unveiled the animated “We Will Fall Together” and Against Me!, who rocked the montage with “Up The Cuts.” Slightly more interesting than that band’s photo essay was the recent police response to someone playing a “Baby I’m An Anarchist” cover. This week also saw tour dates announced for the Evens. Look for Ian MacKaye and Amy Farina to hit the road this November.
This week saw the passing of Paul Fox (1951-2007), guitarist for influential reggae punk act the Ruts, following a battle with lung cancer. The scene also continued to mourn the loss of J Church frontman Lance Hahn (1967-2007).
The Fest may be wrapping up in Gainesville but the The Fest 6: A Free Compilation is still available for download. The collection of 25 songs comes courtesy of Punknews.org & No Idea Records. The fourteenth edition of Vinyl File featured a second look at the vinyl history of NOFX. We also streamed music from the full length Never Suspend Disbelief by New Jersey’s One Win Choice, rock’n’hardcore act The Revenge, featuring former members of Stereotyperider, and the new EP from Intro5pect featuring Stza of Leftover Crack
