Velvet Revolver Concept

KNAC reports: And while it's too early to talk specifics, Velvet Revolver is mulling an overarching theme for the set, according to frontman Scott Weiland.

"With the first record, it was kind of a feeling out process on a technical level," he says. "We were sort of bonded by blood in a sense, because we'd gone through very similar circumstances. On this record, I have a real concept in mind. Because of that, it will be a very album-oriented record instead of a singles-driven record."

Dolly's WM3 Pop 9

antiMUSIC reports: We continue our special series on the West Memphis Three. Our regular readers always know when Dolly takes on a topic you are in for a treat. This time around she takes a little more serious stance as she tackles this very serious issue in her latest Pop 9 list. We are not posting the list here, just part of dolly's intro but we encourage you to click the full story link at the end to read the list. While funny, it really highlights the problems that many people have with this case and it is deadly serious business.

The Life Threatening Tragedy of Stupidity Pop 9 By Dolly Doppelganger
If only every instance of officious stupidity were stopped before it got to the point of caricature ripe for lampooning, then The West Memphis Three would be an obscure footnote in the legal system rather than victims of it. I am sure you all know the basics of the case; if not, a tour of http://www.wm3.org would be more educational than this article. Plus, you could see how much safer society is thanks to advanced crime solving techniques such as those relied upon where superstition & feelings reign supreme over evidence & logic. Not only is society safer, but taxpayers are grateful that appeals are swiftly denied without consideration. Imagine the costs associated with releasing these guys & compensating them for their unjust arrest! When you add that to the costs already incurred by the trial, I am sure you can see the reasonableness & fiscal savvy of just maintaining the status quo. If you, like the police department, prosecutor's office & judges of West Memphis, AK find that 'reading just isn't your thing', you could rent the HBO documentary, "Paradise Lost" or "Paradise Lost 2" to see what the uproar is about. Or, maybe someone will finally make that coloring book that's in the works, to help the judge, PD & prosecutors realize why the country thinks they are stupid rubes that used their position to screw some kids they have a grudge against, as the evidence reveals. To summarize a complicated case in a sentence, everybody knows that when people dress in black & listen to metal, it proves that they are sadistic butchers of children, who kill for fun & then brag about it to their friends. If only the kids who shot up a school had lived, they could tell you the same thing! - Click Here for the Full Story
