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 Sunday
So 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.
