PR reports: Where All Life Hangs (Killing
Floor) is the full-length debut from The Blizzard of 78. The Providence
Phoenix has called Where All Life Hangs "[a bridge between] the ever-widening
gap between the excellence of yesteryear and the alternative vitality of
today." It should come as no surprise, then, that The Blizzard of 78 is
made up of some true Boston (and Providence) music scene veterans. The
Blizzard of 78 has even more big things in store, including an opening
spot for Guster at the 95.5 WBRU summer concert series as well as a collaboration
with Mikey Dread for Sandinista!, an upcoming tribute to The Clash. Check

Shoes Make the Man? |
antiMusic reports: Do the shoes make the man?
Ask Eddie Van Halen who popped in for an impromptu jam at House of Petals
in Hollywood this past Thursday. While it is rare enough to see Eddie out
in public performing, many are scratching their heads at his fashion which
included stone-washed jeans with ripped knees, and shoes that look like
they were stolen from a Hollywood bum. And of course, his pink shirt was
not on his back. Why do we bring this up? Because it's funny and you need
a good laugh for Monday. You can see the photo evidence at the full story
link and look for the new line of Eddie Van Halen shoes to hit stores this
Fall; they will be all the rage at the Rainbow you can bet! Now click on
over and get a load of Mr. Van Halen and give us one good reason why he
shouldn't bite the bullet and get back out with David Lee Roth, for his
own sanity! [thanks to Rita Wilde for the link]- Click
