Rise up, gather ’round…

…and listen to Def Leppard get their rocks off whilst performing some of their favorite covers.

DefLep’s long-awaited – at least by the band’s diehard fans, which includes yours truly – covers album, Yeah!, is finally being released on May 23rd.

The album has been in the can for ages and was leaked to the file-trading community months ago. Even the presumably-unmastered version I heard still sounded great. But take this, record company suits: I’ll still go out and buy it upon its release. Their version of “Waterloo Sunset” is astonishingly good, as are their takes on ELO’s “10538 Overture” and the Nerves (by way of Blondie) classic, “Hanging on the Telephone. Can’t wait to hear them in their proper stereophonic glory…

Whitney’s on crack!

Dave Chappelle should drop Rick James, bitch, and start giving lip service to Whitney Houston. After all, Bobby Brown’s sister Tina claims that Houston is hooked on crack cocaine. According to the article,

“Tina claims drugs have made Whitney so paranoid that she sees demons everywhere and once made a hole in the bathroom wall as a spy hole.”

You know, a funny and similar thing happened to David Bowie when he was deep in the throes of nose candy in the mid ’70s. Well, at least Angie Bowie claims David was tormented by demons and other such shit at the time. Still, you gotta give it up for any celeb who makes spy holes in their bathroom walls. Who knows? Maybe K-Fed will get lucky and Bobby Brown will dump Whitney, leaving her out in the open for slim pickings.

Replacements: “We’re Comin’ Out…”

“…well, maybe. Sort of. But don’t quote us on that.”

Billboard.com reports that a long-awaited Replacements reunion may be in the works:

“Details are scant right now, but Jaded Insider has heard that Replacements members Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars recently hit the studio with session drummer Josh Freese to record some new tracks, which might just be the closest we’ll ever get to a full-on reunion from the legendary ‘Mats.”

Hey, rumor or not, any day that offers even a glimmer of hope that these boys might settle their differences and record some more great music…is a very good day, indeed.

K-Fed sets a release date (finally!)

Awww yeah, boieee. Meds, get in touch with the dude’s PR people because K-Fed is ready to drop his album in August! I cannot wait! This is the best news I’ve had all year, and nothing could possibly top it. The thing’s gonna be called Playing With Fire. Ooh! Get ready to be burned, all you hatas! Once this shit drops, you know K-Fed’s goin’ straight to the top! No more dumpster diving behind Taco Bell with cheap hookers for Mr. Spears! This is gonna be the Sgt. Pepper of 2006! I see many sales and Grammys coming K-Fed’s way! Exclamation points!!!

OK, now they’re just getting greedy

Come on, you remaining undead Beatles, give it up already. Ah, they won’t listen. The holier than thou Beatles are going to court against Apple Computers over its logo. Gimme a friggin’ break. Whenever I see Apple Computer’s apple logo, I don’t think of Apple Corps, and vice versa. Does anyone? Are Macca, Starr, and Ono that paranoid? Maybe Apple Computer should go back to using the multi-colored logo and then there would be no question. So a note to everyone out there” THE BEATLES WILL SUE YOU IF YOU USE A PICTURE OF AN APPLE IN YOUR BUSINESS LOGO. Stop being complete morons and just get your damned CDs remastered already. That would be a much better thing to do than wasting your time with this nonsense.
