Two of Slipknot’s members will be playing solo sets at UK’s Sonisphere festival @ Knebworth on August 1-2. Shawn Crahan will be debuting his side project Dirty Little Rabbits (Gummo, anyone?) and Corey Taylor will be playing a solo acoustic set.

Who is N2IT? It’s an Amsterdam-based company which holds patents for technology that led to the first digital vinyl system (DVS), FinalScratch, waaaayyy back in’98. N2IT’s CEO also happens to be John Acquaviva. You remember, the guy that would hang around and look like Richie Hawtin when Richie was on this continent? Just kiddin John, […]
Both Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails, and Meg White, The White Stripes, are angaged to be married. No, not together…I just couldn’t see that. Thankfully I believe they’ve found much better matches. Reznor’s engaged to Mariqueen Maandig of the band West Indian Girl. I can honestly say I never thought I’d see the day. Nice […]

Apple rejected the v1.0.3 updated which was submitted for approval 24 hours after the release of v1.0 to fix bugs for international users (and hopefully those […]
Calvin Harris Remixes Passion Pit
The Brit, and self-proclaimed disco creator (ppsshh), Calvin Harris has taken a stab at the yet to be released “The Reeling” from Passion Pit’s debut LP Manners, due out 5/19 here in the States. Calvin claims he added some “banging” danceability to the track…sounds to me like he’s added some disco-slap bass, some extra highs, […]
MARILYN MANSON “The High End of Low” (release: May 26 2009) tracklisting is out. We’re From America brought me back…Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon is unimpressive. The Twiggy and Marilyn reunion should blow us away…so they’ve got some ground to cover and some asses to kick and better come correct. 1.)  Devour 2.)  Pretty as a Swastika 3.)  Leave a Scar 4.)  Four […]

The likes of: Kings […]
The Kills were forced to cut a show early Wednesday night in Boulder, CO. The band is currently on tour supporting their most recent album (and one of my tops for 08, Midnight Boom). Lead singer Allison Mosshart (and of newly formed The Dead Weather) was taken to the hospital for observation. She’s ok and […]
