Oh that kooky Korn. They recently canceled a leg on their current tour thanks to Jonathan Davis having a blood disorder. Hey, the less Korn I have to hear, the better. Why is this band even still around? Haven’t all their fans completely grown up and moved on to actual rock and roll by now? Mmm, maybe when you groove to a band such as Korn you never really get to the actual rock and roll at any point in your life. Ah well, if thatisn’t the best display of SATANIC hand gestures in the article, I dunno what is. Thanks for mustering up the energy for that one, Davis.

…but, man, did I get just a little bit excited when I read that the surviving original members of the Beach Boys reunited for the first time in public since 1996 and Brian Wilson said there was a chance they might play together again.
The reason for the reunion was to celebrate the band’s 2003 collection, “Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys,” going double-platinum, but, really, who cares why they came together? It’s just awesome seeing Brian W ilson, Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Bruce Johnston (not an original member, but certainly a name instantly associated with the band, given that he’s been with them since the ’60s) standing side by side again. David Marks, who filled in for Jardine for awhile during the ’60s, was also on hand, which was pretty cool for longtime fans.
Wilson’s been known to offer optimistic statements like this that have ended up going nowhere (anyone remember his talk about how he and Paul McCartney were doing an album together?), but, man, I sure would like to be able to say that I saw a Brian Wilson-led version of the Beach Boys before I die…or before they do, which is the more likely occurence, statistically speaking.
One of the best sources in the industry for album release dates, Ice Magazine, has closed its doors.
The last issue of Ice.
The details behind the magazine folding remain elusive at the moment, but the publication’s founder, Pete Howard, promises that he will not be disappearing into thin air, and that a link to a Q&A and discussion forum about the whys and hows of the magazine’s departure will appear at IceMagazine.com in short order. In the meantime, Howard successfully wrangled a deal to have his subscribers finish their subscriptions by receiving Billboard Magazine instead, which at least shows how well-respected Ice was in the industry.
I guess the internet kind of killed Ice, since anyone can pop onto the ‘net and get release dates at the drop of a hat, but when I was a record store clerk, there was almost bloodshed between the employees over who would get to read the new issue of Ice first. I’m as guilty as anyone for its demise – I was never a subscriber – but I never failed to recommend it as the definitive source for what’s coming soon. It will be missed.
After seeing this bit on VH1’s Best Week Ever, I had to seek it out myself and share it with you all. Diamond Dave recently visited “The Tonight Show” to promote his new album Strummin’ With The Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen (And why didn’t we get review copies of this?) and cranked out a redneck version of “Jump,” the video of which you can watch here. Thrill as Dave’s voice breaks! What won’t this guy do to earn a buck anymore? Are the royalties from the couple of hit albums he had and the VH days not paying enough anymore? Ah well. At least we can see that he sucks as much as the rest of the Van Hagar boys these days.
There’s a new, free download – at least, as of this writing – at “Weird” Al Yankovic’s official site of his new song: “You’re Pitiful,” a parody of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful.”
It might not be up to the standards of classics like “Eat It” or “Fat,” but it’s good for a laugh…as most songs by Al are. (Okay, so I’m a fan and I’m partial. Shut up.)
