Pete Wentz in Talks to Host WWE Raw

On a list of things I could not live without Fall Out Boy and pro wrestling rank pretty high. Actually really high. Actually they are the list. So when I saw this article in Variety, I just about lost my mind.

Concert Review: Fall Out Boy at Mohegan Sun

All kidding aside, I’m actually a huge Fall Out Boy fan. I have been since high school when I napster’d “Take This To Your Grave” and it quickly became a regular fixture in my discman*. I’ve enjoyed watching their meteoric rise to fame in the last five years, and am one of the few people [...]

WBRU Summer Concert Series: Third Eye Blind

Approaching this SCS show was bittersweet for me. I was pumped because I was getting to see a great band that I have been listening to for years. But I was bummed because I am leaving WBRU soon and I know this will probably be the last BRU show I will attend as a radio/internet [...]

Concert Review: GWAR

This morning I woke up to an 11 am alarm. I was bruised, hungover, and covered in dried blood. In other words, GWAR was a success.

Diddy’s Favorite Rock Group is the Silversun Pickups… and Other Inane Things I Learned on Twitter

My late 90s record collection is having a field day with this one. Buzznet is reporting that Blink 182 (yes, that Blink 182) is planning to take pop-punk legends Weezer out on tour when the band reforms this summer.
Words cannot express. This news combined with the rehearsal list Mark released of the songs he’s [...]

Billy Corgan Forgets How Time Works

Billy Corgan took the internets today penning a 2400+ word post on the official Smashing Pumpkins website, outlining his future plans. Apparently the bald wonder is feeling ambitious. In the post he claimed that he has hopes to:
- write and record 44 new songs and release them online one by one culminating in some sort [...]

Daft Punk to Score New Tron Film

Remember that movie where The Dude from the Big Lebowski jumps inside a computer and rides around on motorcycles made of lights or kilobytes or something? Me neither. But Daft Punk is going to be writing the soundtrack for the sequel. Rejoice!
According to my housemate who majored in computer sciences and plays WoW all day, [...]
