I reckon they’d release anything new on either a major label (for the extra backing that brings) or on Ipecac because it is patton’s label and has all the distro sorted already. But I heard that anything new wouldn’t happen for a while, if at all.

This will never, ever happen!!!

Sadly, of course, I love FNM, but there’s no way this band are ever getting back together, not with Patton anyway.

Nice.

The Download set is now up on http://www.themusicthatnobodylikes.tk in mp3, FLAC and avi formats.

I watched them out of interest and they were ok, a lot better than the last time I saw them. If I’d had the choice of watching another stage then I’d probably have turned over after 20 minutes though.

I’m just watching the coverage on the Download site instead, though there isn’t anyone on live until 9. Faith No More are on just now.

I’m sure they did play Ashes to Ashes !

Isn’t that the one that goes ” Smiling - with the mouth of the ocean ” or whatever ?

They never played Ashes To Ashes at the Brixton gig, I’m sure that’s what they meant.

Anyway, I’ve added a FLAC copy of the gig to http://www.themusicthatnobodylikes.tk

As for nobody picking up that Poker Face was Chinese Arithmetic, I’m sure most people just don’t want to tell you that they already knew what song it was due to the fact the PF lyrics didn’t start until 30 seconds into an easily identifiable Chinese Arithmetic.

I’ve stuck an mp3 of the Download set on http://themusicthatnobodylikes.tk

shame the T? set isn’t being webcast.

I’ve added a couple of FNM live vids to my site, and hopefully someone in the world will be ripping the download webcast if they’re on it (still down as TBC).

Anyway, here is the link to my site. http://www.themusicthatnobodylikes.tk

I got told about the reunion last year, I was hoping that they’d have sneakily performed at ATP in December when it was curated by Patton and The Melvins - that was a great festival.

Brixton sold out in under a minute. Bill Gould gave away a guest pass on Twitter to the first person to name his favourite Eastenders character, Max Branning.

The strong rumour is that they’re the Sunday night headliner for the NME tent at Reading/Leeds, I’m hoping that’s true.

It’s from many tv shows, but I’m betting you watch That 70’s Show - they surely must have featured it.

It’s part of a 4 album series, the next 2 will probably be more what you’re looking for.

If you’re gonna buy it anyway then download it just now, that’s why I’ve done it.

Pickles from Metalocalypse was initially based on him, but the design got slightly changed so it wouldn’t be too obvious. Now I think Devin is modelling himself on Pickles.

If anyone wants to hear a few tracks from this, along with other stuff and a selection of tracks from the bootlegs on my website, then I get drunk and do a “radio show” of sorts @ http://www.pANDASradio.tk every Tuesday night from 10. Might even finish with a 40 minute Strapping Young Lad live video from Download. It’s a pretty random show and requests are welcome, so pop by the chat room if you’re bored enough. [/shameless plug]

Also, this album, though he calls it “mellow”, has a few tracks that occasionally sound like Tool. Good stuff it is.

Anyone else heard this stunningly good album? It’s rather mellow compared to the Strapping Young Lad stuff, but you still get bits of that coming through. It’s part of a 4 album piece that he’s hoping will all be released in 2009, each album being musically different. The rumour for the 4th album is that it will be ambient.

Temple Of The Dog was never meant to be a ‘proper band’, it was formed as a tribute after Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone died. It sold the majority of it’s copies after Soundgarden and Pearl Jam started to get bigger followings, same way that Mr Bungle became more popular after Faith No More became a more popular band. And the idea that he’s too old to attract a new audience at 40 is rather insulting, not everyone is as petty as you are oneandonly. And I think the main problem isn’t that Scream won’t sell, it’s that it has sold lots of copies to people who haven’t liked it at all - it got to #10 in the Billboard charts in it’s first week of release, Cornell’s highest placing as a solo artist. So accusations of Sell Out probably come as the result of his biggest solo success being widely regarded as the worst piece of work he has ever been involved in.

Might have better luck at 9am, There will be some of the good seats held back for then.

We got seats in Row L of S3 at 11:30, I don’t think the presale was well advertised.

I had a look around some sites that have advanced tickets, but they’re really extortionate! Ranging from nearly £90 to about £200 a ticket. Sod that.

They’ve been face value all day on the presale link that I posted, that’s the only place selling official advance tickets.

Nah, but The Folksmen from A Mighty Wind are.

Cheers. :)

Quote (author unknown):

Spoof band Spinal Tap have announced a “world tour” consisting of a single June date at London’s Wembley Arena.
The tour marks the 25th anniversary of mockumentary film, This is Spinal Tap, which launched the band’s career.
The band will be backed by 1960s folk trio The Folksmen, the focus of another spoof film, 2003’s A Mighty Wind.

Spinal Tap’s lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel commented: “If we’re going to do a World tour on only one night, at least it’s this world.”
Bassist Derek Smalls added: “one night is not enough, and it’s way too much”.

Spinal Tap have used a variety of drummers over the years due several untimely deaths, including a spontaneous combustion on stage.
The rest of the line-up for the world tour has not been announced but the group paid tribute to former members.
Singer and rhythm guitarist David St Hubbins said: “This show will be dedicated to all of our drummers who have passed on, either to their reward or to middle management at Sainsbury’s.”

The band also announced that they had tried in vain to produce some new material and will instead be releasing a new lost album this summer.
Their last tour was the Back from the Dead series of gigs in the US and Canada in 2000 and in 2007 they appeared at Live Earth.
Bassists from almost every other act on the bill including Metallica, Foo Fighters and Beastie Boys, joined Spinal Tap on stage in an effort to get the noise level up to 11 - a comedy reference to the film.

The announcement of the new tour comes after the band revealed on their website that their Unstoppable tour, scheduled for this year, had been cancelled.
A letter from the tour promoter explained: “The poor economy plays a role in this decision, as does the band’s history, pertaining to shows.”

Got my tickets for up the front, here’s the Presale link - http://www.livenation.co.uk/event/getEvent/eventId/341753/

Cornell has actually compared listening to his new album to the experience of listening to Dark Side Of The Moon. WTF?? I can listen to Dark Side Of The Moon on repeat for a week, Cornell’s new album makes me want to attack my ears with a hammer after 5 minutes then pour battery acid in my eyes so I can’t ever accidentally press the Play button and chance hearing part of it again with my now mostly dysfunctional ears.
