Fan Fair |
KNAC reports: Dave Mustaine has posted the
following message in the Forum section of the band's website www.megadeth.com:
Here is a surprise for you . . . we are going to have our first fan fair
next year, and will probably include a chance to jam with us. Ya see, Seymour
Duncan threw a great bash this year, and I loved it so much that I wanted
to duplicate it, which means a select few of you who come will be staying
in my little town in San Diego County, we will hang out and do stupid stuff
like pictures, signing, auctions of private collectables, trading and what
not for the night and then you Droogs can take turns getting up and jamming
with us.[see full story for more]- Click

Day Short Film |
punkbands reports: Veteran video director
Samuel Bayer no longer considers "Wake Me Up When September Ends" his crowning
achievement. "I'm gonna say that the greatest Green Day video that's ever
been done has been shot and I have it," Bayer revealed Wednesday, and he
wasn't referring to "September".
"A lot people say that 'Jesus of Suburbia'
is their favorite song, and maybe this is the conversation that destroys
my relationship with Green Day [for talking about it in advance], but talk
to the guys about it because it is the most powerful ... wow, I feel weird
saying this stuff. It's a cool video. It's done. Yes there is a 'Jesus
of Suburbia' video."[see full story for more]- Click

Nile Release |
conqueroo reports: Willie Nile has completed
Streets of New York, his first album since 1999's acclaimed Beautiful Wreck
of the World. In what U2's Bono has called "a great album . . . the songs
all stand on their own," Nile has crafted what many feel is the best album
of his career. The album is set for a January 31 street date, launching
the new Brooklyn-based 00:02:59 label, distributed by Sony BMG Distribution.
Praise for Nile's new effort comes from
a number of legendary artists. Lou Reed, for instance, calls Streets of
New York "a great album." Graham Parker opines: "Willie Nile's Streets
of New York is a real gem � stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing
lyrics . . . every track a winner." Lucinda Williams comments: "Willie
Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I'd be
opening up for him instead of him for me." Ian Hunter says: "Willie's from
the big-hearted downtown alleyways of NYC (New York commitment). Well done!"
And Little Steven adds: "Willie Nile is so good I can't believe he's not
from New Jersey!"[see full story for more]- Click

| Ester
Drang Release |
Press Release reports: On January 24th, Jade
Tree will proudly release the third full length from Ester Drang, /Rocinate/,
an album that catapults the band even further into their patented synth-dripped
rhythms, throbbing percussion, rising horns and post-gazer grandeur, having
as much in common with Coldplay's mournful drone as they do The Arcade
Fire's passionate textures. /Rocinate/ affords these Oklahomans the freedom
to orchestrate their imagination into a beautiful ensemble of tracks;proving
that songs not only have the power to elevate, to leave you infiltrated,
but when properly strung together can be as transcendent as they are moving.-
