Whaddaya want to bet it coincides with the next Aerosmith album…?

Launch Radio Networks asks, “Having trouble finding Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry’s hot sauce these days? You’re not alone. Perry told Launch that he and his partners are working on a new marketing campaign for his Rock Your World Bone Yard Brew, which will roll out with a splash soon. ‘We’re repackaging and we’re putting out a new version, a new, updated version, new packaging, and then we’re gonna start with other products,’ he said. Perry was not sure exactly when the Bone Yard Brew and other products would be back on the market. Perry launched Bone Yard Brew in 2003.”

On a Aerosmith-related note, Vince Neil “accidentally” let it slip out that Motley Crue will be doing some co-headlining dates with Tyler, Perry, and company later in 2006.

Is that really a co-headlining tour…? Surely there’s no question that Aerosmith is bigger…and even less than they’re better.

Rock is dead they say? Long live crap!

Hey, kids! You might not know it, but 2005 saw the worst slump in music sales since 1996! The labels, of course, are blaming it on that crazy bastard illegal downloading as well as those evil video games. But I blame it on lack of artists worth hearing in the long run. But hey, this is a new age, indeed, and perhaps the “album” format is quickly dying faster than we thought. After all, I personally listen to my mp3 player, my satellite radio, or mix CDs I have made. It’s rare anymore that I actually cruise to a whole album by one artist. Indeed, my CD player in the living room that is currently stocked with 200 discs is collecting dust. But I damn sure enjoy having a big music collection so I can slap all those songs on my mp3 player or on mix discs. Our attention spans have been chopped in bite-size pieces. Just gimme a song, any song. Then hit shuffle, then play. All is well.

David Lee rot

Christ, he must be tired of his new DJ gig already. David Lee Roth has been talking lately of an original lineup Van Halen reunion. And as much as I like the original version the best, I think it’s just high time these dudes called it quits. Seriously. Everyone in the band looks like shit anymore – well, really they just look like their oldest fans – and who cares, anyway? After all, Sammy Hagar’s been in and out of that band so many times now that the group is beyond looking like a cheap whore. And do we really want to see Roth do some flying kicks and judo moves? It just reeks of the worst shit in town.

Nellie McKay: Say hello, wave goodbye

Remember that bit from a few weeks ago when Nellie McKay had what appeared to be a nervous breakdown onstage while describing her failed marriage to Sony? Well, Sony’s lawyer handed Nellie the divorce papers this week, when her second album Pretty Little Head was supposed to be released.

Where McKay goes from here is uncertain, but after well-publicized, tempestuous affairs with Aimee Mann, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Fiona Apple and now McKay, Sony is said to be considering psychiatric counseling in order to learn why they find themselves endlessly drawn to the wildly creative but slightly batshit types.
