...wow, that is really gay news.

[Muddy Love]

Yeah, they're due to drop their first two singles: Call my Wookie (cell phone mix) and Who We Be, in a couple of days. Should be made available somehow, probably over the intronet. So check it.

In other gay news,

"The soundtrack for "Underworld: Evolution" will boast a host of exclusive selections, including the first solo recording from Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington and a song from the Tool-affiliated side project Puscifer, which features vocalist Maynard James Keenan and former Nine Inch Nails guitarist Danny Lohner.

Other cuts featured the soundtrack, due Jan. 10 via Lakeshore, include Meat Beat Manifesto's "Suicide" (which sports the Jack Dangers-led group's first use of vocals in six years), Chris Vrenna's "Bloodstone" remix of Slipnkot's "Vermillion Pt. 2" and Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key's reworking of Aiden's "The Last Sunrise."


"Underworld: Evolution" is rounded out by contributions from My Chemical Romance, Cradle Of Filth, Lacuna Coil, the Alkaline Trio and Senses Fail. The film, which stars Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman, opens Jan. 20 in U.S. theaters."

What did you do just search for bad cover art? That's remarkable.

How bout a list. Top 10 albums of this decade (2000-2006). Go!

[dmvernona]

i actually had the misfortune of just coming across those covers yesterday while downloading some tunes. apprently people actually listen to bands like that. huh. anyway, here's a list of amazingly bad covers i found by doing the search you thought i used the first time. i'm bored. they're in no order, we'll have to vote between these and my last post's for the top 10.

alright, here is a bit of news. Tool's new album is due out this spring (but not as soon as March). Apparently the boys are mixing it down and doing overdubs while watching Salma Hayek dance her ass off. Going out on a whim here, I'm going to guess the new Deftones release will drop sometime around then as well. No real info exists confirming that speculation however. Leads me to the question though, are there any releases scheduled for this winter that are worth two shits?

Also, for those who care, bands for the new crappy vamp movie include:
Puscifer (Renholder remix)
The fag from Linkin Park
Hawthorne Heights
My Chemical Romance My Ass With A Plunger
Slipknot
Alkaline Trio
Aiden
Senses Fail
Atreyu
Trivium
Lacuna Coil (they suck mad dick, but I would bone the singer if I ever wanted AIDS)
Gosling
Meat Beat Manifesto
Cradle of Filth
Bobby Gold

...and you gotta be asking yourself about now "what the fuck, Danny? What the fuck?!?!"

[dmvernona]

that's just a shame. i think a lot of kids that pick up that cd are going to have one thing and one thing only to say after a listen:

"shut the fuck up danny!"
