Day Thieves? |
punkbands reports: Paul McPike, a 32 year
old grocery store clerk has filed a copyright infringement complaint in
a U.S. district court where he claims, according to Oregon's Mail Tribune,
"he composed both the lyrics and melodies" of Green Day's hit album, American
Idiot in early 1992. A magistrate judge moved to dismiss the complaint
after McPike, who's representing himself, could only produce as evidence
a copy of Green Day's album and his claim that "the words lead singer Billie
Joe Armstrong sings don't exactly match those printed on the album's cover."
According to the article, McPike "theorizes
that a friend must have recorded a cassette of him singing at home and
somehow that recording reached Green Day." He says he sung the song for
classmates at an alternative school back in 1992.[see full story for more]-

punkbands reports: These stories just keeps
on giving. Mark Hoppus has again slammed his former Blink 182 bandmate
following their demise last year. He tells Spin Magazine that Tom Delonge's
"selfish nature is destroying everything that the three of us, our crew,
and everyone else worked so hard to do. Name anyone else in the world who
gets to travel, gets paid ridiculous amounts of money, brings their family
anywhere, and then has two months off just to chill. And thats not enough
for you?[see full story for more]- Click

Pixies CD? |
thetripwire reports: The on again off again
new album from the Pixies appears to be, well, on again. In a recent interview
with NME, frontman Frank Black revealed that the band will begin rehearsing
in early 2007, if they can convince bassist Kim Deal to join them.
If has been fifteen years since we last
heard a new album from the legendary band, so why start now? Black answered
this as he added: "We know we like playing and everyone likes touring together,
so to keep doing that and not record anything is kind of like being a county
fair band. We don't want to do that, so the only thing we can do is become
a vital band again. So it's just a matter of doing it, I guess."[see full
