News: Jolie is So Punk Rawk |
punkbands reports: A few different entertainment
websites are reporting that new mom and all-around psycho, Angelina Jolie
if a fan of what she calls "punk rock." Of course what you and I consider
"punk" may be slightly different than what the actress claims is. "I love
punk rock because it's honest and there's a lot of feeling behind it" she
says. "Bands like The Clash and Matchbox 20 are great." Ok, The Clash I'll
give you... but Matchbox 20? - Click

| Jello
Art |
antiMusic reports: Do you have artistic talent?
What about far left political beliefs? If you fit that bill you may be
able to help Jello Biafra (Ex Dead-Kennedy) with the artwork to his new
spoken word album "In the Grip of Official Treason". While the album will
take on contemporary political issues and figures, he doesn't want a "dated"
album cover. "Rough concepts or even found photos or old art is possible.
I don't want anyone to go to too much work when the image might not be
used," Jello wrote in an email soliciting submission. "I've also talked
to Winston Smith, John Yates and others about this, so we'll see what happens.
I don't want any designs too reliant on Bush, Saddam, Condosleezza, etc.,
that will date the whole thing like an '80s Hardcore album with Regan on
the cover. But if you feel inspired, deadline is July 4." [see full story
for submission info but be warned Greenmuse will most likely be at the
top of the list!]- Click

Radiohead |
antiMusic reports: As many of you know Radiohead's
Thom Yorke has decided to release a solo CD dubbed "The Eraser" which hits
stores in North America on July 11th. Some have wondered why Thom would
take a break from working on the new Radiohead album to work on this effort
and he explained to The Observer that part of the reason was that he immense
amount of time working with Radiohead "was getting boring."
"It felt like everyone was under obligation
to do it rather than because we wanted to do it," Yorke told the paper.
"And one of the things I had wanted to do for ages was get stuck into a
bunch of things that I had been mucking around with that didn't fit into
the Radiohead zone."

| Circle
of Dead Children Dies? |
SMN reports: Pennsylvania based grinders CIRCLE
OF DEAD CHILDREN have posted the following update:
"Mike Bartek is no longer a part of CODC
and for the indefinite time being we are forced into hiatus. We apologize
to the promoters and bands we have had shows booked with as well as the
fans, as we were about 3/4 of the way through the next full-length release.
There was absolutely no way around this. Mike had a list of "qualities"
that would have had him tossed from most bands, but friendship was what
mostly kept him with us. This time he crossed way over the line and defecated
on any concepts of friendship and respect possible and stooped lower than
we thought even he would ever go.[see full story for more]-

| Karma
is a Bitch |
Reader Submission reports: I don't want to
make this another "against mental illness" thing. I'd rather dance in the
livin' room with the little B! You know, I've had 22 psychiatric hospitalizations,and
that's an awful lot of work at nothing for nothing..."The Wind" is a mudbubblin'
mess of a suit of armor that got snatched up real fast...because insofar
as five million dollars are at stake, "We All Shine In"! And that goes
double for my family, While I sit in a senior citizens group in a "Mrs.
Robinson" affair...You know, "Reisa, take off your glasses and break them"
and "Buy that poor redhaired chick a cup of coffee tomorrow." You know
what it's like, man? It's like there's a big cuecard in your tummy that
"is telling you what to do", and you just do it! And "We All Shine On",
like "Instant Karma"...like John Lennon's song. So, you know, sue me for
telling the truth...I don't care. Good luck to you,1,2,3....-
