RAGE!!!

A few months back, RATM hinted at the possibility of putting out a new album after some strong turnouts at some overseas shows. I told you I would say something as soon as I heard something. Well, I heard something.

Rage Against the Machine is, indeed, working on putting a new album together as evidenced by this quote from lead singer Zack de la Roche:

We are all bigger and more mature and we do not fall into the problems we faced 10 or 15 years ago. This is different and we project a lot: we are working on a new album due out next year, perhaps summer for the northern hemisphere.

The quote was made by de la Roche back in October of 2010 during an interview with a Chilean newspaper. I even went through the trouble to translate it for you.

How freakin' sick is this news?! Are you excited? I'll keep you informed when I learn more.

The Fountain of Fail

So this girl is now taking legal action against the mall becasue of this video. Not to worry, defendants...just give her a cell phone and she'll be too distracted to formulate clear thinking, much less press charges. You can thank me for my genius later.

Enjoy the video.

"It's Another One of Those F**kin' Foo Fighters!"

The Foo Fighters are completely finished with the recording process on their new record. All that is left to do is release the thing. In the meantime, they've decided to torment us with a short tease of a new song that should be hitting 97.9X any day now.

Happy Festivus!

Today, being December 23rd, is Festivus! One of the greatest (not necessarily happiest) times of the year!

According to Festivus tradition, the "Airing of Grievances" requires us to bring up things that aggravate us and make them known to the world!

This blog is here to serve that exact purpose! if you have any grievances about anything, this is the place to air them. Just comment below and tell the world exactly what you can't stand about it!

We'll save the 'feats of Strength" for another place and time.

It's Festivus for the rest of us!

RED in the Face

RED is quite easily one of the most well-recognized bands out there right now. Having produced two albums and released multiple hits to radio, they quickly gained a following over the last four years. Now, at the peak of their popularity, RED is preparing for the release of their third studio album, their second with Sony Music Entertainment.

The new album, Until We Have Faces, takes it's name from the book Till We Have Faces, which was the last novel written by author C. S. Lewis, showing that the band is remaining true to their Christian roots. Those roots have produced two bestselling albums, so we should take heart that this album will be equally epic.

Until We Have Faces is scheduled to be released on February 1st 2011.

What the Hell Ever Happened to Crisco?

It has kind of felt something like that picture...except it would be me sitting at the desk rather than some chick. I wonder who she is. She looks like she could use some serious help with all that work.

Anyway, bottom line is I've been a busy beaver. There has been a lot going on for me the last few months, including a promotion at the radio station. Yep...you can now hear me Nights on 97.9X! As in EVERY NIGHT...rather than just when Dan "The Man" can't do it. So tune in!

With the promotion came a whole slew of new responsibilities, all of which I am finally beginning to settle into. Now that I've found a relative groove, I'll be back to updating this blog regularly.

I've been gone for a while, but now I'm back from outer space. Get ready for a Crisco-gasm.
