Are you gonna watch the clock spin today, or are you gonna do something worthwhile? There’s not much to be said for the many, many days we waste. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a lot to say about today?
Well, now that you mention it…
- The Pirate Bay has been ordered to pay almost half a million dollars to record labels. And you thought downloading that Taylor Swift song was harmless…
- Turns out it’s not, because the new Taylor Swift song is hilarious garbage. I can say this with qualified certainty, in a household full of little girls, nobody was feeling that punching-downward nonsense. But when we got to the line “I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she’s dead,” we all fell out laughing our asses off. Then we went next door and laughed their asses off. This chick has the exact mindset of an 11 year-old.
- Amazon has attempted to get into the ticket-selling game, but Ticketmaster isn’t having that shit.
- Chester Bennington‘s ex-wife made some powerful points and accusations about his “disgusting” funeral in a statement Wednesday that accused the industry-heavy memorial of being more of a corporate party than a respectful sendoff.
- The new Action Bronson record is magnificent, and you can get that shit up inside your ears pronto.
- In perfect flow, a new Wu-Tang Clan song has birthed as well.
- While you’re at it, have yourself a listen to the best record of the year. The new Queens of the Stone Age album Villains has arrived. It’s a wild ride, so perhaps you’d like a manual.
- Oh you want some nice icing on that Devil’s Food cake? Then have yourself a life-affirming new Beck song that hangs on for Dear Life.
- By the way, Queens just rocked a surprise set at Leeds today. It’s nice and early, so they have the night free for other adventures… what could they be?
- Are we Great Again yet? Here’s a comprehensive list of all the major legislation passed under Trump. No, the page isn’t loading incorrectly.
- In a streak of patriotic excellence, Jello Biafra joined Dead Cross to play Nazi Trumps Fuck Off, and the world is better off for it.
- This Sept. 16th it’s the Juggallos vs. the nazis! “Certain death! Place your bets! Special guest stars the police!” The Brawndo and Trump Hotels sponsorship is golden. But let’s leave Faygo out of this.
- Gavin Rossdale is cool as hell, you guys. When I’m creeping up on 52 I hope I have house parties that get busted up by the cops. Cause that’s some classy shit.
- That stupid Crying nazi used to be a “Libertarian comedian”. Oh man.
- So who’s actually listened to the new Kendrick album backwards?
- Avenged Sevenfold just released a cover of Beach Boys’ God Only Knows. Life is fucking weird.
- Roll through L.A. with Phantogram in their new video for Funeral Pyre.
- Phil Rudd of AC/DC has some sexy-ass cars.
- Man, Canadians have some weird words for stuff.
- Jay Z will play the season premiere of SNL, alongside Ryan Gosling, and that’s a little disappointing.
- Are Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush breaking off into their own duo? LeeLifeson seems to be the name…
- Ozzy‘s making retirement plans, and that’s a good thing. He’s a legend who’s barely able to rock it these days.
- Wait, we’re supposed to ask nicely for record labels to stop selling nazi music? Fuck absolutely everything about the Hells Headbangers label.
- The new Ghost video is hilariously awesome.
- The new AQ podcast covers the new QOTSA album. Spaz joyfully with us.
