May God have mercy on our souls: Limp Bizkit is reforming

Fuck. It’s official, Limp Bizkit are reforming! Back in 2006, the band members went their separate ways after releasing the crappy not so well received comeback album, “The Unquestionable Truth.” Anyway, apparently the band is back together, as Durst confirmed at Limp Bizkit’s myspace. “Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the Bizkit on the universe. I say this with the…

Their music has stewed a lot of controversy, changed lives, possibly over throned regimes (?!), and most of all rocked the hell out of any arena. Last year, the band reformed under its original lineup and performed some massive gigs cross country, proving they’ve still got it in them. Now, fans…

Yup, summer’s gone and autumn’s in bloom, but that doesn’t mean good records have to disappear once with the sunshine. First up are your favorite Glaswegians, Travis, one of this week’s highlights with their sixth full length studio album, “Ode to J. Smith.” After that we stroll abit from from britpop to more experimental/psychedelic fields with the new Mercury Rev record, “Strange Attractor.” Be careful with this one, though, because I’ve heard people say this…

Wednesday smilejerker: let’s laugh with Josh Groban, 4 times

Metallica speaks about Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Well as we told you, Metallica leads this year’s group of nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, following last years inductees, and people are actually placing bets on who is going to win; as you could probably guess, almost all bets are directed towards the metal gods, despite the fact that they haven’t released anything to their full potential in more than 15 years, and their latest album has stirred mixed opinions….

Noel Gallagher is planning a solo LP

I don’t know if Noel Gallagher’s recent bump to the head affected his judgment or anything, but just recently he announced he’d like to release a solo album soon. His first one, as far as my humble knowledge is concerned (and Google’s of course). Furthermore, the Oasis singer/songwriter said he’d like all four members of the band to releasing their own stuff, as soon as their latest effort, “Dig Out Your Soul,” gets out and,…

Metallica and The Stooges among Rock and Roll Half of Fame nominees

Sometime last year I was pretty pissed off that two world shattering bands like Metallica or The Stooges didn’t make the cut for 2008’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees list. That was a bit non-cool. Anyway, it seems my lamentations were well heard and both bands, as well as Run-D.M.C., War, Wanda Jackson, Bobby Womack, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Chic, and Jeff Beck were added to the nominee list for 2009’s Half…
