Here's what Rolling Stone thinks about our beloved Irish lads now-a-days. Just got this little article off rolingstone.com. has a nice little U2 opening and talks about some other crap too. Hope you like it.
"Well Hung at Dawn
Uno, dos, tres . . . catorce? Yep, you're buggin' us
Jeebus Frog-Fucking Christmas, is there anyone dumber than an undecided voter? . . . Wait one sec. Our band started playing last week's column. What can we say?
Remember the nice things we said last time about "Vertigo"? Well, we take it all back. Turns out U2 are the same whores we thought they were last time out. Filthy, phony, iPod-whoring whores.
The fact that the Media Whores -- yes, they're still out there, even if the Web site is not -- have decided to attack Jon Stewart post-Crossfire just proves his point. Oh, and Ken Tucker is as big a dick in New York as he is in any magazine.
Bob Novak? Cock. Oh, and a traitor to his country.
Thom Yorke is iffy about appearing on the new Band Aid single. Of course he is. While we think it's a silly idea overall, we're cool with it as long as Fran Healy says "Feed the people. Stay alive."
Brandon Routh -- the greatest casting discovery since Hayden Christensen! And that's worked out pretty well, right?
We accepted the arrival of Lois Lane, mostly because she was crazy hot. The Flash was wrong, but a relatively minor infraction. A "foreign exchange student" named Mikail Mxyzptlk is absofuckinglutely unacceptable.
One assumes Eminem and Kid Rock are no longer on speaking terms . . . And hey, how 'bout our next President's beloved Sox? Jason does have a soft spot for the Astros, but since their owner is a Bush-loving Baptist, it's just as well they lost.
Flash News: Luna broke up. Hold on. We couldn't possibly care less . . . And what about this new Helmet record? Face it, Jimmy: that $1 million advance is never coming back.
Helmet: They were the next Nirvana, y'know.
According to babbling Sirius Left of Center DJ Pappy, one of the highlights of the Vote for Change show was Bruce and R.E.M.'s 'cover" of "Because the Night." Sigh. Incidentally, Michael Stipe's onstage mincing has really gotten out of control. He makes Jim Kerr look like Miles Davis.
Eddie Vedder + The E Street Band + "Better Man" = Rock!
Rilo Kiley are pretty swell, but they're no theaudience. Speaking of, we heartily recommend the self-titled Angular Records debut album from Elizabeth Harper, which reminds us a great deal of said theaudience. She's from NYC, but you'd never know it.
Excellent Jenny Lewis reference on Gilmore Girls, btw. That said, "It's going to be the Mountain Girl trial all over again": Best Reference Ever.
Turns out Elliot Smith fans care much more about their hero than Jeff Buckley fans . . . A publicist recently sent us an e-mail promoting the appearance of a band on "Carson." We know we're geezers, but that's just wrong.
You know who else was swell? Richard Kiley.
While we strongly object to the phrase, 'Former Guided by Voices guitarist Doug Gillard," we are happy to plug the new solo record by former Death of Samantha guitarist Doug Gillard, out now on Pink Frost (who receive extra Well Hung credit for the Chills reference).
We were going to wrap up this installment with a ringing endorsement of John Kerry, but we've decided to dedicating this remaining space to the memory of John Peel, whose influence and inspiration on our lives cannot be overestimated. The word "irreplaceable" barely does him justice. Honor him by immediately blasting "Teenage Kicks" at top volume. Then throw on a Fall record. Or something by Extreme Noise Terror. Or the obscure reggae B-side of your choice. We miss him already.
For our younger American readers who don't understand the hubbub about some DJ's passing, we'd like to offer a beautiful tribute penned by the kind of artist Peely loved to champion, our pal Greg McDonald of the Dawn Parade."
