HEY, WE ARE BACK…

So we’ve been gone for a while in case you didn’t notice. Actually, we know you noticed from all the stupid emails we’ve received from the masses telling us what lazy pieces of shits we are. Yeah you try running a website AND a record label AND going on tour. Go ahead, try it bitches! Anyhow, sorry for being gone, but we had to tour the world while sleeping on floors. It was very glamorous. We hit up Australia, Japan, Europe, and soon America again. Travis will have photos (with commentary) from his trip online soon, not to mention the rest of his photo section. Oh the excitement. Before we get started, if you have money and want to advertise on Buddyhead, email our new ad girl at [email protected]. Yes this does cost money and no we don’t trade banners, fuck off. That means if you work at a record label you should be telling your online new media peeps to hook up some motherfuckin banner ads on our site. Don’t fuck this up!

While we were over in the UK, we attended The Reading and Leeds festivals. First off, European festivals are light years ahead of American festivals. I mean they still suck cuz it’s a festival and no one wants to sit in the mud and rain to see way too many shitty bands, but it’s better than the ones in our country. And people in Europe actually like music. Imagine that!?! Anyhow, lots of shitty bands played, a few good ones too. The Icarus Line slayed (what do you expect us to say?), Pulp was decent, Aphex twin was amazing, The Pattern got the skinny white kids dancing, the Strokes had by far the worst stage sound…all you could hear was a snare, a guitar, and their zit faced singer, no wait – Sum 182 actually had worse sound – I take the Strokes thing back. Alec Empire was rad, The Hives sucked (whoever it was that told me that band was good live is fucking insane, those guys can’t even speak English let alone rock me with English), The Vines wet their pants, (http://php.ipc.co.uk/nmegallery/gallery.php?g=5&i=16) Walter and The Rival Schools were making everyone happy, The International Noise Conspiracy didn’t play their Stooges cover like we told em to (pussies), Janes Addiction were pretty rad (we heckled the ever-shirtless Dave Navarro though), and the rest is kind of a blur for some reason. Let’s put it this way, the food backstage was far more interesting than most of the bands that played. We missed Spiritualized (they played the night after The Icarus Line) and I’m pissed about that. But we did see them play their first Australian show ever when we were down under. And that my friends was fucking real noice. That’s not a typo. We met that geek from The Vines, who thinks he’s the new Kurt Cobain, backstage. When we asked what it was like to be better than Nirvana he didn’t have anything to reply. At least tell us to fuck off…. Jesus. That kid is a dork and his band sucks. The end. We also met Rivers Cuomo backstage and his marine friend Jerry (or something). Rivers put up with all our harassment like a champ while his jock friend Jerry told us that short hair was cool. We told him he was trippin.

Oh yeah, speaking of Reading… get this… A while ago we reported that the reason the Yeah Yeah Yeahs weren’t going to Reading was their singer Karen O was injured in a bar fight. Well that was a bit of a lie we made up. Sorry. The funny part is NME (you know, that English music tabloid that says a new band is the next savior of rock every other week) even printed our false gossip. You fools better start fact checking over there. Yeah so anyway, we just wanted to come clean and confess. The real reason the Yeah Yeah Yeahs didn’t make it over to Europe and to Reading was due to Karen O’s panic attacks. See last time the band flew overseas their plane was raided by police with guns drawn looking for possible terrorists, so now Karen is a bit freaked to fly.

Here’s a bit of rock trivia for your head: Both the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Shat have a song called “Bang” on their debut releases.

So while we were in the UK, we also attended The Kerrang Awards. What a huge pile of shit that was. Not that we expected anything more from a magazine who jerks off bands like Slipknot and The Offspring. Oh yeah, the Offspring won the “Classic Songwriter” award. That means Kerrang is putting them up there with Bob Dylan. Good choice guys. The other bands that won were Hundred Reasons, A, Foo Fighters won the “Hall of Fame” award, some band called Muse won “Best British Live Act” (they haven’t heard of Spiritualized yet in the offices of Kerrang), and Kasey Choas was in the house smashing glasses and telling everyone how he likes Refused more than the Beatles. What’s with all these lame nu-metal dudes thinking they understand Refused?

Before I forget, someone really needs to tell the British about some of these new and amazing inventions we have over here in the good ole’ US of A… showers and vegetables. What’s for breakfast? Meat, cheese, and bread. What’s for lunch? Meat, cheese, and bread. What’s for dinner? Meat, Cheese, and bread.

The Dillinger Escape Plan have a new EP with Mike Watt from the Minutemen on bass, called “Irony Is A Dead Scene” and it’s out in stores. Go pick it up cuz it’s killer. Epitaph is selling those like hot cakes and shit. When DEP played Reading, their new singer guy/gymnast Greg Puciato took a poo on stage and threw it at the crowd, rubbed it on his chest, and damn near puked all over the place because of it. Yeah you heard us… poo, real human poo. Poo is not cool, we agree. He was quoted as saying “A lot of people are making music for all the wrong reasons nowadays. There doesn’t seem to be much art just product. that being said I don’t feel there’s more of a difference between what I did on stage and what most bands are doing anyway so I figured I’d use the festival as a platform to kind of make that comparison more vivid. Coincidentally I also really had to go and it’s not like there’s a toilet on the side of the stage. That might have been the largest public viewing of a bowel movement in world history.” Hey Greg, pinch em off before you go on stage…no one wants to see, smell, or have your poo.

THE ICARUS LINE AND DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN ON TOUR

DEP is still out on the road with The Icarus Line as we speak. The number of times balls have touched male faces on that tour bus is probably in the high thousands. Some USA dates were just added. Go see them.

Speaking of Buddyhead releases, the 65 tracked Shat’s “The Best Of Shat” will be in stores on September 10th. So I guess that means rock will be saved on exactly September 10th. NME says that the Vines are better than Nirvana and are gonna save rock n’ roll and all that bullshit. Well Buddyhead says that Shat, even on a bad day, is better than the Vines, even if they ever do learn how to play their instruments. Click here for the Shat “best of” track listing.

BUDDYHEAD ON THE RADIO IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA

On September 16th (Monday night), from 10pm-Midnight, Travis from Buddyhead will be a guest on Scott Rigg’s Show on 92/1 Premium Radio, KFSD-FM (that’s a San Diego station).

So we caught part of the MTV VMAS 2002 the other night… was it just us or was the word of the night “rock”? Our bet is that those VJs were getting extra points every time they said the word. MTV really wants America to know that it’s going to buy “rock” from them really soon. Rock is coming back, in case you didn’t hear. Like it ever went anywhere… dipshits. So anyways, in case you somehow were lucky enough to miss the VMAs this year, here’s our rundown of what happened…

The Boss played and no one cared. If you are saying to yourself, “What the heck?!? I cared!” you are what they call a hillbilly. Eminem won a lot of awards, proved he was a jock by yelling at Moby, and then rapped over his CD. Now that was exciting, live entertainment at its best for sure. How come no one else is thinking rapping over your cd is lame? Some fruitcake from N’ Sync break danced. Michael Jackson did something. The Brady Bunch won some awards for something. Dashboard Confessional won an award for being really safe, boring, and clean. Christina was in the house, not to promote a new record but to let the world to know she now has fake boobs and is on speed. The Hives (is that bass player getting fatter or is it just us?) and The Vines both stunk up the stage (it was the Vines 61st show. Hey Viners, how does it feel to be better than Nirvana like NME says you guys are after only 61 shows? True talent indeed!) The singer from the vines ended up boning Paris Hilton. We’re sure they had an amazing conversation in the morning. One can only imagine what those two brain surgeons talk about when they are together. Kangaroos and Prada. Gideon Yago was backstage fluffing The Strokes before they proceeded to take a bunch of famous chicks back to their hotel rooms. Who the fuck is Jimmy Fallon? Hip hop is fucking boring these days. But we’re in luck, cuz in case you haven’t heard rock is coming back. MTV is making sure they get all those cute and cuddly rock bands on! NEWSFLASH: rock isn’t cute and clean or cuddly. Ok anyways, then the shit hit the fan… Axl and his cover band that he calls “Guns N’ Roses” were the Grand Finale. Man was that weird! First off Axl is T-R-I-P-P-I-N-G! YO AXL! THIS BAND ISN’T GUNS AND ROSES! SLASH, DUFF, AND IZZY ARE HANGING OUT WITH THE DUDE IN BUCKCHERRY CUZ YOU ARE A FUCKING BIPOLAR DIPSHIT WHO WON’T TAKE HIS MEDICINE NOW! YOU HAVE A GUY WITH A CHICKEN BUCKET ON HIS HEAD WHERE SLASH USED TO BE! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING? TAKE YOUR FUCKING MEDICINE AXL! YOU HAD YOUR HAIR IN LAME BRAIDS AND WERE WEARING BAGGY LEATHER PANTS WITH A FOOTBALL JERSEY AS WELL?!?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT? BASICALLY, YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR FREAKY LITTLE HAIRPLUGGED SELF BACK TO YOUR LITTLE MANSION AND STAY THERE. DON’T BUM US OUT LIKE THAT AGAIN. Someone should just kick the shit out of the new Axl, the old Axl would want it that way I think. Jesus, remind me not to watch this crap again next year.

Graham Coxon quit Blur.

In case you needed further proof that Coke is better than Pepsi…. Papa Roach will be in a new series of commercials for Pepsi. The best part is the dick that directed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is shooting them. Sign of the times anyone?

Rivers Cuomo is in party mode.

Radiohead is recording a record in LA. The entire band showed up at a recent Beck show and Radiohead sightings are coming in from all over town. We heard they are looking to party…if that is true Radiohead needs to email us ([email protected]) and we’ll show them how to party.

Axl Rose is totally tripping!

Someone better send us a copy of the new Black Flag tribute Henry Rollins put together with his Rollins band playing and superstar guest singers (it’s for charity, don’t get mad). We heard Iggy doing “Fix Me” and it’s fucking awesome to say the least! Also singing on the comp are Cedric from the Mars Volta, Chuck D, Keith Morris, Nick from Queens, Ice-T (how perfect is it that Ice-T is singing Police Story?), Tom Araya, Lemmy from Motorhead, Former black Flag Bassist – Chuck Dukowski, Tim Armstrong, and Grateful Dead Tattoo haver – Lars Frederiksen. No sign of Gregg Ginn in sight on here. It’s pretty obvious Gregg took one look at the track listing and saw Kasey Choas, some guy from Slipknot, and Ryan Adams and told Henry he was tripping! Who lets those fucking geeks on a Black Flag comp? Henry’s gotta make sure it’s a little bit lame if he’s involved no matter what. As if his muscles and short shorts weren’t already bumming us all out enough.

Attention pasty white children, Sleater Kinney’s got a new record out, go pick that one up.

The Burning Brides let Hot Snakes have their drummer back for a bit so they could play some shows. Well, Mr. Reis and co. finally played Hollywood a few nights on one the hottest nights of the year. 105 during the day. Show report: opening band played for five hours, it was hot, hot snakes came on, they slayed, it was hot, they played “Bullet Train To Vegas”, it ruled, lots of kids in tight pants, sweating, the end.

Right now the guys in Incubus are thinking about….. their moms. How exciting!

The Mars Volta are wrapping up pre-production on their debut full length and are getting ready to enter the studio with Rick Rubin. We heard the demos slay. Get ready for “punk floyd” kids, it’s gonna be good.

Piebald had to cancel their tour with Dashboard Confessional. Their emo fieldtrip with the cleanest tattooed guy on earth was cut short due to their singer, Travis Shettle, having to undergo vocal chord surgery. He’s gotta have some gnarly blood blisters and other shit cut off his chords. The surgeon wielding the knife is the same guy who cuts up Elton John’s throat. Which is kinda neat. Check their website for more info, we heard they are selling shirts to help pay for it or something. Maybe Rama was lying about that. We’re not sure. www.piebald.com

Joey C. of Danzig/Prong is taking Dave Grohl’s seat behind the drums for Queens Of The Stoneage. He had one practice and started their US tour, what a pro. Hey will one of you stupid shitheads that work for The Queens label send us their fucking record already? Everyone and their moms have it but us! What the fuck? You guys are blowing it…. we actually like that band, send us the fucking record. We write about that shit.

Rumor has it that Tomahawk’s Mike Patton pissed on Maynard and Adam’s legs during a recent Tool performance. It must of not have bummed them out that bad because Tomahawk is still on the tour.

The McRib is back… still.

After playing an LA show at the Troubadour, The Explosion are receiving an onslaught of offers from just about every major label in existence. They are also listed in the new Hits magazine (HITS is a magazine for dipshits in the music industry who don’t know anything about music – if you fall into that category please know that the people who do Buddyhead hate you) as a “buzz show”. That means they are gonna have major label slime balls nibbling on their dicks like a rat does cheese. Free Lunches!

Right now Fred Durst is thinking… “boobs, boobs, boobs, I need to learn how to play guitar quick, boobs, boobs.”

The Division Of Laura Lee are changing their name. They recently posted on their website that their new band name, which they think better describes their sound, will be “Shit”. Hey guys, that’s a good band for you and all but there’s already a band called Shat! And to be honest, if it came down to it, Jeff Wood is way bigger than any of you little mod fruitcakes. Don’t front.

Oh get this, this is great! Those pop punk geeks in New Found Glory are putting together a Bjork/Sugarcubes tribute comp on Atticus. Let me guess all the bands will prolly sound like their band maybe? Of course, all those pop punk bands just listen to each other’s bands. If you put shit in, you get shit out. We feel sorry for Bjork.

Boy Sets Fire told us that they are going on tour with Snatchface and some Victory band they’ve never heard of, and then going to Europe for 4 weeks. After that they’ve got a record coming out in September, which will be half live and half nu-emo. Did we mention that they are on Creed’s label? Geeks.

Oh yeah… Boy Sets Fire also told us that they played Furnace Fest to “a bunch of black haired tight pants jaded 16 year old assholes and it sucked”. So they got drunk and fucked with Andrew WK. Their guitar player got loaded and on a 10 dollar bet ran out and put him on his shoulders. Andrew was stoked. He high roved that when he high fived him after the show. Andrew WK knows how to party! (Photo1)(Photo2)

Burger King has two tacos for .99.

Phantom Planet totally suck in case you didn’t already know. Any band with both an actor AND a model as members completely sucks. You can’t convince us you like The Who drummer man.

Seattle band Earth have announced their first live shows in over 8 years. Earth will perform as a two-piece with Dylan Carlson on guitar and Adrienne Davies on drum.

The dates are as follows:

9/16 – The Pond – Boston

9/17 – Knitting Factory – New York

9/18 – Khyber – Philadelphia

9/19 – Velvet Lounge – Washington DC

Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult’s 1980 Concert Film “Black & Blue” will finally be released on DVD on October 8th, 2002. ‘Black & Blue’ has never been issued on home video at all until now. This 80-minute cult film has managed to avoid being widely bootlegged. Yes it is the Duo era, but the film was produced by the late George Harrison so that kind of makes up for the lack of Ozzy. Plus you know they put “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” on there, so that alone is worth watching this film. Haha.

Sub Pop is selling some hot new shirts for The Catheters, check it! Fashion bands always have the best shirt models.

Jawbreaker finally released their B-sides comp on Adam’s label Blackball records under the title “ETC”. Aaron jacked off to it the whole time we were in Europe. He said the new mastering sounds good and the artwork is decent. Here’s the track listing:

* Shield Your Eyes

* Equalized

* Caroline

* Better Half

* Split

* Gutless

* With or Without U2

* Fantastic Planet

* Rich

* Peel It the Fuck Down

* Pretty Persuasion

* Kiss the Bottle

* First Step

* Friends Back East

* Sea Foam Green

* Housesitter

* Into You Like a Train

* Sister

* Friendly Fire

* Boxcar

The Distillers are hitting the big time it looks like, They are going to be opening for Garbage and the self-loving Gwen Stefani (and most likely featuring the other dudes from No Doubt who don’t get to be in the video as well). Wow, what a giant suckfest that’s gonna be.

Snoop Dogg is sober (yeah not even weed) and is in the studio with The Neptunes recording his next record. We heard he wants to kick the shit out of Spiderman in his next video cuz “Spiderman didn’t have any black people in it!” We think Snoop could kick the shit out of that midge.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have a new album coming out. Tom Petty for sure smokes more weed than Snoop Dogg now.

The Warped Tour is funding the Taliban.

Autolux got signed to some new fake label that The Cohen Brothers started called DMZ (they have a P&D with Columbia Records). Sounds rock n roll dudes. Autolux will enter into a studio in late October to start recording their debut full length record.

That shitty pop punk band Yellowcard got signed to Capitol. Yeah can you believe that those little geeks don’t gotta get jobs now? There’s no justice in rock. Will this pop punk shit ever go away? It won’t, will it? Fuck….

That band The Trust Company needs to pull up their fucking pants and buy another record besides “The Shape Of Punk To Come”. Death to all mall punks.

Someone tell that guy in Blink to get another record too. In every interview he talks about how he’s been listening to Refused. It’s like, GET ANOTHER FUCKING RECORD DORK! Refused are good and all, but expand your horizons geek.

If you don’t already own it, go buy the Spacemen 3′s album “Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs to”.

When Bluebird played The Sunset Junction, Wayne Kramer (from the MC5) joined them on stage to help bring the rock. As if things couldn’t get any better, Long Duck Dong from the movie 16 Candles was spotted in the crowd, wasted and screaming! No joke. The Bird is going on the road. Go see them blow those geeks in Shit off the stage.

After that Sparta is going on tour with Hundred Reasons in Europe. It’s gonna suck opening for a band who is nothing more than a bad imitation of your old band.
