Weezer's Variations on a Shaker Medley
Weezer's new song, "Greatest Man that Ever Lived" is now available on iTunes. I'm listening to it right now, and I really like it. There's definetly Weezer songs I like better (Buddy Holly) but I'll probably end up buying this. I love Variations on a Shaker Medley, and was kinda worried I wouldn't like this because of it, but I really do. The way it transitions reminds me of the really long songs off "American Idiot." (Which is a Green Day album, for those of you who are completely clueless.)
Such a Lovely Place
Last night I went to see the Eagles, and it was absolutely amazing. It was possibly the best concert I've been to. They sounded awesome. I was surprised by how much of their solo stuff they played. It did work out nicely for me, because they played "Boys of Summer" which is one of my most favorite songs of all time.

Foo Fighters Wants and Needs
The Foo Fighter's tour rider was leaked online. For those of you who don't know, a tour rider is pretty much a list of things that the band will want when they get to the venue. Here are some interesting things i found on their's.
1. Please have signs visibly posted from crew entrance to catering prior to our arrival. Fat Roadies have to eat immediately so they can begin their arduous 70 to 90 minute work out.
2. A selection of cereals, and they can not be the same cereals from the night before.
3. No roast beef cold cut on deli meet tray.
4. Every lunch should include a "soup of the day." Please try to make it a vegetarian selection. Meaty soups make roadies fart.
5. Pasta/Italian Food Dishes (By pasta, we do not mean spaghetti soup as your town already has a homeless shelter. We live out of suitcases for goodness sakes!
6. ALSO- let's try to think outside the box as we consider the CHICKEN BREAST. A bunch of lightly cooked chicken breasts with goo on them are not fun, not exciting, and definetly not going to GET YOU A HUG FROM OUR BASS PLAYER NATE. (He's the real people person, not the guy from Nirvana.) I can not tell you how many times in catering all over the world, I have seen island after tiny island of chicken boobs floating in a mercury like sauce that gets pawned off as a thirteen dollar (US) entree. This is not a diss to lunch rooms and the genius of the tator tot or the surly lunch lady per se. It's just a thought.
7. Here are some cool things to do with meat and meat examples. Fried turkey, friend chicken, fried anything, really. Sausages, veggie sausages. Big ass kielbasas that make men self conscious. Any sort of tubed meats. Maybe a night of "fair foods." Cornish game hens. Meat-in a loaf form. Turkey meatloaf. Bacon. I call it "God's currency." Hell if it could be breathed, I would. Bacon in any form is great. Not as an entree, but just in general.
8. Three whole firm border line chubby avocados
9. One mess of fruit
10. One bag of Pirate's Booty. Not Johnny Depp's.
11. Twenty-four Large Bath Towels- If they are new and unwashed, you will receive a wedgie.
12. Four Bottles of Gatorade (Remember wacky colors please)
Appearently the rider was written by the band's tour manager, Gus Brandt.

AbsolutePunk interviews two Bands who Love the Beatles
"I love the Beatles. They took music and made it their own. I don't want to sound like them or be them. I respect them for trying to do other things. Experience is the best thing for a writer and I try to experience as much as I can."

Obviously we love The Beatles. We love a lot of older bands. I think that's one thing why people might compare us so much to those types of bands. When we recorded we tracked everything live. It's a little bit looser. It's a little bit more like a band. But a far as any conscious decision, we just wanted to write the songs we wanted to write.

PunkNews interviews Jamies Tworkowski of To Write Love on Her Arms
"Well now it’s basically a non-profit organization. Sometimes we say a non-profit movement, and basically we talk about depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We’re in a position just to talk about those issues, which are issues that people don’t talk much about and to try to encourage people that need help to get help. We work to connect people to help and then to really just invite people and challenge people to begin to learn about these issues and talk about these issues and learn how to help take care of our friends that may be struggling with these things. We also invest in treatment, and really, the unique thing is that it all grew out of an attempt to just help one person, and we started printing these t shirts to raise money to pay for our friend’s treatment, and it’s all kind of grown through there."

Jack White Talks to the Times
"I started trying to make an art form out of giving someone a bill, like writing it with crayon on a piece of paper, or having a yellow piece of paper with black marker saying, ‘You owe me $300.’ People would be like, ‘What the hell is this?’ and I’d be like, ‘I don’t know, I just want you to sign this and give it back to me and pay me, and that way I can have it as a… um…’ People just didn’t dig it. It was two different worlds colliding."

My Chemical Romance Pre-Order
You an pre-order the new My Chemical Romance The Black Parade is Dead Live CD and DVD here. Black Parade has always been an album that I've contemplating buying, but never gotten around to it. I heard there was a chance of a special edition CD and I thought I'd wait around for it. I'm not sure how interested I am in a My Chemical Romance live album. The DVD's probably pretty rad. I've watched many videos of them on youtube, and they are a fun band to watch. You can order the CD in a limited edition package that includes a handpainted Day of the Dead mask, Certificate of Authenticity, three downloadable tracks from the Mexico City set and all comes in a pinewood box.

Motion City Soundtrack- Even if it Kills Me
I recently bought Motion City Soundtrack's third album, Even if it Kills Me. I've been listening to the album non-stop ever since I got it. Part of the album is co-produced by Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne) and Eli Janney (of Boys Against Girls) and the other part is produced by Rick Ocasek (of The Cars). Guest vocals on the album include Max Bemis (of Say Anything), Rachel Minton (of Zolof the Rock and Royal Destroyer), and Shawn Harris (of the Matches).

Saves the Day/Say Anything Collaboration
When Chris Conley was asked about it he answered, "david and I recorded a full-length with max and coby in january. max and I share lead vocals and we each play guitar. david plays bass and coby plays drums. the songs were 50-50 compositions between me and max (max would write the bridge to my songs, and vice versa) and david wrote one song. we don't have a name for the side project yet, but we have a finished album. there are eleven original songs and one cover of a song by ween called "even if you don't". we're in the process of getting a deal to distribute the music, although right now there is no time set in stone for the release of the album. we'll keep you posted. if the album comes out this year, there's a small chance we will tour in support of the CD. so keep your ears peeled!"
UltimateGuitar.com Interviews Joe Trohman
"The other day I went to a Japanese restaurant and then to Target, and I got bugged. But just last night, I went to a jazz bar. Nobody bugged me there. So it all depends upon where I go to hang out. It’s never that bad. Honestly, most people are like super cool, and they’ll just come up to me and shake hands, and that’ll be it. But it rarely gets out of control."

Gonna Get You High
I just read that these flyers were at the Fueled by Ramen table at Bamboozle over the weekend. It's also in the new "Guilty Pleasure" video when they're in the Karaoke Bar. Their own little way of getting people to watch TRL today and seeing the video. It's pretty funny if you ask me.
