reporting from a bunker somewhere in detroit…. i heard the new U2 single while tooling around in a minivan without a cd player yesterday and it didn't suck! heavy bassline with a really nasty rock guitar sound. at least its not stinko elevation shite…
Albums in 2004
I picked up the new Interpol and the new Delgados at Melody this morning even though they are not supposed to be out until Tuesday, no more copies of Delgados but they had several of Interpol in the display on the wall near the front if anyone would like a copy this weekend
Do you mean to say that Rhett and/or Mark E. are going to like this?

Gwen Stefani Makes "Love"
No Doubt singer collaborates with her idols on solo debut
For her solo debut, Love, Angel, Music, Baby, out November 23rd, No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani cast her net wide, seizing the opportunity to work with a vast array of artists.
"The whole idea was to collaborate," says Stefani. "To do a solo record means trying to pour my heart out, which I feel like I already do in No Doubt. This is more of an art project. I wanted to play different roles and work with a ton of people."
Expect hip-hop beats from Dr. Dre and the Neptunes, as well as OutKast's Andre 3000. Dallas Austin (Pink, TLC) and Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack, Soul II Soul) give some tracks a dance feel, and the album's New Wave sound comes by way of Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, ex-Eurythmics Dave Stewart and New Order.
"I knew exactly what my influences were – Club Nouveau, Lisa Lisa, Prince, New Order, the Cure, early Madonna," says Stefani. "Everybody was under strict instructions."
The album's first single, "What You Waiting For?," is set to hit airwaves this month. And Stefani will make her Hollywood debut in December, when she plays Jean Harlow alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator.

Gwen Stefani must be doing something right. She made it into the lyrics of one of my favorite songs:
Dig Down
Bobby Bare Jr.
Young Criminalâ??s Starvation League
This letter is addressed to Mr. Pete Townsend
Hey brother I write you to say thanks for nothing
Your generation used up all the feelings
And if we rock it looks like weâ??re ripping you off
Hey Mr. Jimmy as I write upon this Page
My hands they shake with a delicate rage
My amplifier has no aim for all it plays sounds derivative and mundane
Chorus
Dig down, dig down, thelost and found
The Beatles used up all there was to be found
Dig down, dig down, the lost and found
Nothing green can gather on a rolling stone
Dig down
Dig down
To whom it may concern- For all Hendrix hath spurned
The rocketâ??s red glare, the bombs bursting in air
My Fender is just a painted board
And if I light it on fire, I become such a fucking bore
Black Francis, Black Francis you were the last motherfucker out
Grabbing all the good stuff and leaving No Doubt
That if rock and roll dies itâ??s not my fault
I do the best with the leftovers that I got
Chorus
Bridge
All of the juice had been sucked out
Before Mel Bay asked us children to play
So as we climb upon the rotting corpse
Stick it in once again, see if the blood will coarse
Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry, you wrote the only original song
Some white boys stole it we all still sing along
Chuck Berry sing to us one more time
Before Fred Bisquit freezes everybodyâ??s mind
Dig Down

I'm sure I'll be flamed for this, but anyone heard the new Tears for Fears album?
I *love* The Hurting, but was not in to their big-hit era stuff… Just wondering.

When people say "I got this months before because it leaked on the Internet," where the hell do they get the mentioned LP? I know of Kazaa and stuff like that, but they're not Mac-friendly. How does one obtain "leaked tracks" via a Mac? Help me. Don't worry, I've never downloaded illegal music. And I, uh, never will.

You mean you don't like "Songs From The Big Chair"? I used to love that one. I admit I lost interest after that one though. And of course The Hurting blows it away.
I had "Songs from the Big Chair" and liked it, but it hasn't really stood the test of time with me. If I hear something from it, I always put "The Hurting" on….
I'm listening to the new Delays album. This is pretty mellow, VH1-swirly stuff. Not sure it'll be a favorite (though one listen never indicates much).
