As if Meat Loaf’s upcoming Bat Out Of Hell III wasn’t enough, Elton John will also be going back to the well for a sequel to his classic 1975 album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Due for release on September 19th, the disc’s first single, “The Bridge,” will be available for download via iTunes on August 22nd.
What a nice birthday present, Elton! You are just so sweet…
That’s apparently the mindset taken by a bunch of fellers who took it upon themselves to pretend to be the ’70s band Redbone, best known for their hit single, “Come and Get Your Love.”
The imposters ended up playing the Butte-Silver Bow Fair in Montana…which rather pissed off the actual band, who were playing in Wisconsin at the time…but, frankly, I think the fault lies with the fair organizers, who probably could’ve avoided the incident if they’d just done a little research. I mean, here’s the real Redbone…
…and here’s the fake Redbone:
Submitted for your approval, Bullz-Eye’s take on Lollapalooza 2006.
The Mayor of Simpleton and I, after soaking our feet for about 12 hours, sorted through our pictures and broke down our weekend of fun, sun, and being on the run in Chicago. All in all, a very good time, but holy smokes, were we tired. Hell, we still are.
One last shoutout to my Dredsen Doll friend in the front row.
“I hate the Dresden Dolls.”
…then you absolutely must see this homemade video for “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down.”
That’s it. I don’t have anything more to add, except perhaps the fact that I’m disappointed a group of guys who are clearly “Simpsons” fans are so shockingly dull.
File under ‘strange but true’: Johnny Marr has officially joined Modest Mouse.
Seems an odd fit, at best…but at least the members of Modest Mouse acknowledge how ridiculously blessed they are to have landed the famed former Smiths guitarist:
In an interview with “Rolling Stone,” Brock said Marr “made a cautious commitment to write and record with us, and then the tighter we got, he was like ‘OK, let’s tour too.'”
Modest Mouse, with newby Marr, will tour in support of their forthcoming album, “We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank,” which Marr helped write and record.
Brock told “Rolling Stone” that after the decision to have Marr tour with the Modest Mouse, “he was pretty much a member of the band—not pretty much. He’s a full blown member of the band. It’s really fuckin’ nice.”
Really fuckin’ nice. Still somewhat of an understatement (particularly since the phrase “lucky bastards” appears nowhere in that sentence)…but it’s a start.
