Not worth reading.  Ok so you don't like getting gifts of 300 dollar bottles of champagne.

Every time I read something about that Josh Homme guy, he's always hating someone or wanting to punch someone. Seems like he needs to grow the fuck up.

Who ever said rock'n'roll was nice? Since when did everyone need to get along? Someone throws shit at him at his concert and he sticks up for himself. Seems justified. He's about to do a festival and feels like he's being treated like a criminal as he's about to get on the stage that'll be his for the next 60 minutes. Conveying that he's annoyed likewise seems legit. There's a TON of other interesting info to the interview that is way more relevant, but he makes one stray observation and the media wants to turn it into a feud just because he had the balls to express a feeling about someone that nobody else will say an unkind thing about. Sometimes people wear the black hat but it doesn't mean they are an evil person. Watch "Crossfire Hurricane", the Stones documentary. Rock'n'roll may be a dying genre, but that doesn't mean everyone is done writing the epilogue.

yeah . . . stealing is weird that way.

I don't know if it's their new song or not as I do not like them, but the MGMT song Celebration sounds exactly like Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead.

I just witnessed Tim Burgess schedule the Chemical Brothers to DJ a charity gig in honor of The Charlatans drummer via Twitter.

You were with him when he made the tweet?

Are you sure you don't mean the song "Congratulations" which came out in 2010?

Wow! I'm truly stunned! An event designed to cater to a demographic of people who hold down jobs with such regularity and have so much disposable income failed? Did not see this coming!

Like her or not, M.I.A. had a good response to the NFL's comical $1.5m fine on her sophomoric flipping the bird during the Super Bowl©.

"It's a massive waste of time, a massive waste of money, it?s a massive display of powerful corporation dick-shaking. They want me on my knees and say sorry so they can slap me on my wrist."

Can't tell who's getting played? Her, the NFL, or us by both parties.

That's great. Kinda sad reading the part about how doesn't like to have his recordings remixed, given what happened with Scott Litt and Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies.

i think it was stupid on her part to do that.  so many artists would have killed for that spot.  she was pissed that whats her name was more important than her at the moment.  she should have had some respect for the opportunity that was.  i mean really.  r, e, s, p, e, c, t . . . that is what it means to me.  did that sound old man rant?

The best ever Jesus and Mary Chain interview, recorded in 1986. 

Joy Division awful? Unambitious? What a bunch of twats.

Joy Division was an awful band.  One decent song.  New Order is 100 times better.

Yeah that is how I feel about Joy Division.  Boring.  But "Love will tear us apart" was a decent song.  They should have done more like that one.
