Green Day Short Film

punkbands reports: Veteran video director Samuel Bayer no longer considers "Wake Me Up When September Ends" his crowning achievement. "I'm gonna say that the greatest Green Day video that's ever been done has been shot and I have it," Bayer revealed Wednesday, and he wasn't referring to "September".

"A lot people say that 'Jesus of Suburbia' is their favorite song, and maybe this is the conversation that destroys my relationship with Green Day [for talking about it in advance], but talk to the guys about it because it is the most powerful ... wow, I feel weird saying this stuff. It's a cool video. It's done. Yes there is a 'Jesus of Suburbia' video."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Willie Nile Release

conqueroo reports: Willie Nile has completed Streets of New York, his first album since 1999’s acclaimed Beautiful Wreck of the World. In what U2’s Bono has called “a great album . . . the songs all stand on their own,” Nile has crafted what many feel is the best album of his career. The album is set for a January 31 street date, launching the new Brooklyn-based 00:02:59 label, distributed by Sony BMG Distribution.

Praise for Nile’s new effort comes from a number of legendary artists. Lou Reed, for instance, calls Streets of New York “a great album.” Graham Parker opines: “Willie Nile’s Streets of New York is a real gem – stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing lyrics . . . every track a winner.” Lucinda Williams comments: “Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I’d be opening up for him instead of him for me.” Ian Hunter says: “Willie’s from the big-hearted downtown alleyways of NYC (New York commitment). Well done!” And Little Steven adds: “Willie Nile is so good I can’t believe he’s not from New Jersey!”[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
