RCA, as in a major label? That was kind of weird to see on an Anti-Flag CD, but whatever. Read the full review >>>

Listening to this album crashed my broswer, but why should you care? Julia Lau does an excellent Paula Cole impression on In the Wildflowers and Weeds, but what does it all mean?

Well, there's plenty of low- and midtempo tunes on the album, and some of them run together a bit, but her voice is so even-keeled that it's not a problem. Read the full review >>>

It's amazing how things have changed since 2003. Read the full review >>>

Alan McGee, the man responsible for signing two of England's most popular bands - Oasis and The Libertines - has come out strongly against record labels. McGee, who was also the boss of Creation and Poptones Records spoke to XFM saying:

I'd recommend a band not to go to any record label, I think they're all fucking rubbish. You're better off doing it yourself. They're living in the past, it's like owning a tram company or something.

So what do you think? We've set up a poll for you to let us know.

Funeral For A Friend, Cancer Bats, In Case Of Fire and Attack Attack have booked a UK tour this fall together.

Dragonforce have posted a new song from their upcoming album. The record is titled Ultra Beatdown and is due out August 26, 2008 (art.)

You can check out the song on their myspace page.

One wonders how long it will take before this track takes over as the "gold standard" for Guitar Hero experts.

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, who also runs Decaydance has responded to the arrest of Decaydance act Gym Class Heroes in St.Louis in his blog.

You know what? You call my friend a "n_gger", I dont even give a fuck what happens to you. I dont want to see you in this scene. I dont want to see you at shows. You are who we write songs about. You are who we think about when we hate. Radiohead, "Karma Police" over and over again in my head.

What a joke. You are fucking pathetic and anyone that disagrees should put their white hood on too. I don't want your ticket money. I don't want your cd sales. Id rather be poor and unknown.

I wasn't there and all I have to go on is the account of one of my best friends and all I ever want to do is support them. There is no further need for me to blow this out of proportion. I hate hearing people called that word. It makes me cringe. Thats all. Kind of like at the end of the Chapelle show when people were laughing at the racist jokes rather than at the satire of them.

Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy was arrested last night in St. Louis, MO on one charge of third-degree assault. The band was just one song into their Warped Tour set when an audience member called McCoy a racial slur. McCoy responded by alledgedly hitting the assailant with his microphone.

Though the band has not explicitly defined their status, Alexisonfire's Wade McNeill recently discussed the status of the band, particularly in light of his bandmate and his side projects. McNeill recently released his debut as Black Lungs and Dallas Green has been touring extensively as City and Colour.

We'll see what happens... Alexis hasn't broken up, but we'll see what happens. We are at a crossroads now.

You can find the rest of the interview here.

The band has just two shows booked for the summer as both Dallas and Wade tour on their albums.

So I am finally accomplishing the lifelong goal of having my own TV show, which thanks to the Internet is entirely too easy. I am expecting to move all my comedic stylings to my new site, so I don't think I will be here as often as I was. Don't…

Check out this headline from Yahoo!'s home page:

"Oil Rises Above $74 a Barrel"

Considering it's been above $74 for most of the past week, this is a very misleading headline. When it was $78 per barrel, that would have been the time for this type of headline.

Speaking of which, because of…

Tomorrow is, too. Any auction or fixed-price listing that starts before midnight Pacific tomorrow night will be just 20 cents to list. What a freakin' deal. If it weren't so damn hot, I'd do something about it.
