Bullet For My Valentine Week: End of Days |
Moose: "End of Days," I think it's the oldest existing song on the record, musically anyway. I think it was written around the 2006 Kerrang! Tour.
Matt: Yeah, that was written ages ago. Lyrically it took us over a year to write. It's about the idea, if you had 24 hours to live, how would you spend it? Would you go out on a cocaine, drug, alcohol, sex binge, or would you stay at home with loved ones and cherish every minute? It's kind of the two extremes and how you react, that's "End of Days."

Rage Fans Turn Violent |
Melbourne's Big Day Out event was marred by the crowd unrest, which saw one man knocked unconscious and another fall from a marquee at Flemington racecourse as the 45,000-strong audience pushed forward to see the Guerrilla Radio rockers in the finale.
Rage Against The Machine were later rushed off the stage by show organisers, who threatened to cut short the band's set altogether unless fans stopped the violence.

Papa Roach Lose Member |
"For y'all that don't know, we had to split with Dave, our drummer. It was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. He's taking this time to get his life together. We are still friends and still talk on a regular basis. The road is a hard place to live, and if you are falling apart, it will destroy you. He will be missed. But, on the other hand, life must go, and if you know anything about Papa Roach, adversity is the fuel for the flame. Nothing will ever stop us."
He prefaced that news with a tidbit on the band's recording plans: "I'm really excited to start writing again. We are going back to the Paramour to write for a month. It's gonna be sick." Jacody was referring to the famed Silver Lake, Ca recording studio/estate Paramour Mansion where the band recorded 2006's 'Paramour Sessions".

State Vs RIAA |
While the AG isn't minimizing the seriousness of copyright violations, his office has submitted a brief questioning the data mining tactics and subpoena practices employed by the RIAA.
The office is pushing to essentially cross-investigate RIAA representatives to ascertain the legality of its investigative practices--a discovery request that could be very expensive for the RIAA to respond to.

Juno Tops Charts, Vinyl Edition in Feb |
The Junoverse expands next month as a limited-edition orange vinyl version of the Juno soundtrack arrives on February 18 (suggested retail price: $13.98). February also brings a Juno ringtone, Ellen Page and costar Michael Cera's cover of The Moldy Peaches' "Anyone Else But You," available from all major carriers. The charming duet, which closes the film, has also been added as a video on MTV.
The Juno soundtrack was initially rolled out to digital retailers in December as the film was opening in select cities. Juno has steadily gained momentum in the marketplace thanks to strong word of mouth -- and an unusual degree of synergy between the movie and its soundtrack. The film's young star, Ellen Page, suggested using the music of The Moldy Peaches, and the 19-track Juno soundtrack includes eight songs featuring that band's Kimya Dawson. The album debuted on the Billboard Top 10 -- largely on the strength of digital sales.

Hannah Montana Loses Hope |
Sorry, that was confusing. Look - Miley Cyrus, who plays Hannah Montana in the TV show Hanna Montana, has just changed her name from Destiny Hope Cyrus to Miley Ray Cyrus because her Dad is Billy Ray Cyrus and everyone called her Miley Cyrus anyway and she liked the 'Ray' part of her Dad's name.
There, that's cleared all the confusion up. If you've got children, chances are you know who Miley Cyrus is because your children do nothing but watch her TV show over and over again and again and again like gawping attention span-deficient monkeys.
