We have no idea when The Icarus Line’s album will hit stores, but the vinyl version on Buddyhead should be out a bit before the cd. If you’re having trouble keeping it in your pants to hear new Icarus Line shit, they will have a demo version of the song “On The Lash” on the upcoming “Underworld” soundtrack. It’s some movie about vampires or some shit. They heard Don Devore used to be in Ink & Dagger so they freaked out or something. Other bands with new songs on the soundtrack include Dillinger Escape Plan, David Bowie, that dude Maynard from Tool, and that Southern Christian rap metal band with the chick singer… Evanessence er whatever it’s called. Sweet. Also still available in the UK is the “Love Is Happiness” single, with four new-ish songs on it. Check it out.

In even more Icarus Line news… their first e.p., “Red And Black Attack” (recorded way back in the 90’s!) is now completely out of print. We managed to salvage a couple boxes of these things, and if you like screaming and shit and want one, your last chance is by picking one up here on our online store. Click here to buy that shit.

The Burning Brides start recording their first proper major label album for V2 at Oceanway Studios in L.A. on Monday. That’s where Radiohead recorded their last record so you know it’s gonna be posh. Sometime after basic tracks are done, their drummer Jason is going down to lay down drums for the new Hot Snakes record. Bonus.

The cutest little trend now with new bands and major labels, is to sign young bands, and instead of them sitting around for awhile doing nothing, they get them to put out fake indie albums… usually on their own fake indie labels, or perhaps any indie label willing to take a check under the table, and that way they can build up that “indie cred” that “money can’t buy” in an “organic” way. Right. This is especially popular among many local L.A. bands of the moment who have played like… 5 shows, but are already living fat on the major label payroll. The funny part is that some of you idiot kids out there either can’t tell this is happening, or don’t care. Well here’s the thing, to all the bands that put out albums on independent labels cos there’s no other way to put out their records, and tour in vans cos that’s the only option there is, not cos it’ll make them look like “troopers” in their major label debut’s one sheet, IT’S HUGELY FUCKING OFFENSIVE. FUCK OFF. So next time you hear about a band where somebody says, “awwww, naw dude, they didn’t really sign with $8#2% Records, that’s just a rumor”, and then see full page ads in every magazine on the face of the planet for their “independent” record, YOU ARE BEING FUCKING PLAYED.

Kate Moss will be seen “pole dancing” in the new White Stripes video “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself”. We’d rather see her dance on our poles.

Those boring 40 year old garage rockers, The Mooney Suzuki, are in Los Angeles working on their new album… or should we say, paying other people to work on their album. The Suzuki’s took all that money Nike crammed up their asses and put it toward their new album! YEAH! They’ve hired the Matrix songwriting team to help them pen some radio hits so they don’t get dropped too quickly. Busted again. Last time we busted these guys for lying about their ages, they changed their age info on their website like, the next day. Snap! So yeah, The Matrix are the same people who wrote Avril Lavigne’s songs as well as the new soul-less Liz Phair album. Looks like this time around the song writing process won’t be so “Complicated” for The Mooney Suzuki.

The bass player of Phish is tripping! Oh wait, he always has been. But now he’s gonna get stabbed for it. The story is he’s kidnapped the daughter of the head of the Hells Angels and taken kiddy porn photos with her. That was smart dude.
Jawbreaker reunited and you missed it. Well, kind of. At the Jets To Brazil show, Wednesday june 20th in Seattle, Washington at Graceland, every member of Jawbreaker was in the same room for the first time in over seven years. No songs were played and we weren’t even there to yell “KISS THE BOTTLE” at em, but Frankie Chan, the club promoter of Graceland, got super agro fan geek on them and made them pose for this photo. Good work Frankie.

Jeff Wood’s porno is up on burningangel.com. Yikes.

Ian Svenious of the Make Up/Nation of Ulysses and Calvin Johnson of K records are doing a DJ tour together so they can play stupidly obnoxious records that about four people in the western hemisphere have heard and fuck all the little friendster boys and girls that they can get their aging punk dude hands on. Sounds like a party to us.

Speaking of Friendster, if you’re on that shit, take a look at yourself and try and tell yourself you’re not a total waste of skin. It’s pretty fucking impossible huh? Get a hobby dorks.

Cave In might need some help prying that foot out of their mouths right about now cuz they just started playing the heavy shit again. The kids think those Foo Fighter songs are like tampons (they’re for pussies) so they’ve started playing the Slayer riffs again and making Stephen do that barking crap and all that shit. Oh yeah, and Vanilla Ice is rapping again too.….. we’re just sayin.

So Cal Inflight is back kids! Now you can check out all the upcoming shows while you jerk it to porn: http://premiummagazine.com/Socalinflight.html

Your Enemies Friends finally finished their album. We’ll have a release date for that real quick like for you. They’ll be playing a few shows in LA before we send em out on tour for life. They promised they would buy tuners before the shows too.

Atom and his package is breaking up. There are at least four coffee shop geeks from Philadelphia that are really fucking bummed out right now. The rest of us realize that “nerd irony” is about as funny as a funeral for a toddler.

Jack Grisham, singer of TSOL, is running for governer of California. Dude, not only does Arnold have a better chance of winning than you do, but we’re betting Webster kicks your ass. Yes, Webster is actually running.

That Bright Eyes fruitcake is moving the fuck out of Oklahoma cause he read in Spin magazine that New York was cool, so he’s packing up all his Sunny Day Real Estate 7 Inches and moving to Brooklyn where he’ll brainwash little 15 year old girls into thinking that he’s “talking to them” before he bruises their little gashes. Dude is emo, but he lays more pipe than Keith Richards. We’re talking Keith Richards of 2003 by the way.

The new Saves The Day record is coming out on Dreamworks. If you care about this YOU ARE A GIANT PUSSY.

This is pretty amazing, in a totally fucking geek way. http://www.the-fingerboarder.com

Tim Armstrong keeps telling everyone he’s gonna start laying mad pipe in famous people now that his ex-wife is making out with dudes in magazines but so far no takers. Rancid is also still sticking to that, “We’re not on Warner Brothers, we’re on Epitaph” story too. Riiiiiiiiiiight dudes. Then how come last time we were at Epitaph looting the place, when we asked for the new Rancid album so we could sell it at Amoeba, everybody said, “Naw, we don’t have any of those, you need to get that one from Warner Brothers”. Hmmmmmmmm.

Kool Keith just released an album of “odds and ends” called Lost Masters. Someone better send us this shit.

Page Hamilton from Helmet has been calling everyone to brag that he is fucking Winona Ryder, but everyone already knows that because Page 6 reported it. We’re just wondering if she’s gonna let him play Bob Dylan’s guitar that she owns. Yoooo Winona! Let us come over and play Bob’s guitar JUST ONCE, and we’ll quit talking smack.

Andy Greenwald’s book about how emo is a sexist boy subculture is coming out
in October and I guess every bed-wetting date rapist with a poetry journal
(or at least the current Vagrant roster) is scared it’s gonna kill their 15
minutes of fame. We just can’t believe that dork gets paid to write about music.

The Revolution Smile are head banging in unison at this very moment… somewhere. That shit is about as cool as your grandma wearing a fanny pack.

My Chemical Romance, some band the dude with the bottle opener gap-teeth from Thursday “produced”, just signed to Warner Bros. Because in case you didn’t read in Spin… EMO IS BIG.

Oh, and if you missed this one too… Spin, or maybe it was Rolling Stone… what’s the difference… just pretended like they invented the term “screamo”. That shit was lame when middle aged, white, Matchbox 20 fans didn’t know about it anyway.

Relapse still thinks it’s releasing the Dillinger record next spring. NAW BRAH!

The guitar player from that band Breaking Pangaea on Equal Vision has joined
Taking Back Sunday. The guy whose girlfriend the lead singer fucked is still
under contract for another record, even though he’s not in the band anymore,
so it should be interesting to see how that pans out on the next record,
which is supposed to come out on Victory or any number of major labels next
year. Blah, blah, blah. Um… too bad nobody cares about any of this shit except for 15 year old pussies .

DreamWorks and Island are both trying to sign Brand New. Which if you think about it is pretty funny… a bunch of mid aged people listening to fourth generation mall emo. You people are old enough to know better!

Someone told us that Sub Pop has the Modest Mouse guy doing A&R now. We heard that instead that to prepare for this job he’s been hitting the crack pipe on the most recent tour. Sounds like the kind of place we want to work. Anyone wanna hire us over there?

The Tripping Daisy guy from Polyphonic Spree is the only one on the contract with Hollywood Records and according to current and former band members he is starting to go “crazy” and is a complete “egomaniac”. Yeah, no shit…the guy started a band where he convinced a bunch of people to dress up like they believe that Aliens are coming to resurrect Jesus, he’s supposed to be like that you fucking nimrods.

The dude from Staind keeps getting fatter.

Limp Bizkit got boo’ed off stage, not to mention pelted with bottles while the crowd chanted “FRED SUCKS”, when the Summer Sanitarium tour hit Chicago a few weekends ago. That’s pretty cool and all, but why the fuck didn’t the crowd do the same to Mudvayne, Linkin Park, and Metallica. NEWFLASH, THOSE BANDS SUCK TOO.

By all accounts Fred Durst seems to know his record is going to be like the equivelant of listening to a pig fuck an elephant. Sources tell us that he’s been “on-edge” lately and that as more and more demos come out sounding like what would happen if you taped a Christmas prison rape, he’s been getting more and more irritable. He’s even taken to weight lifting to fix his frustrations, and apparently that’s working out for him, but as that’s working he’s been getting more and more concerned that his appearance will look a bit unbalanced come fall when MTV premiers “Launch: the Making of the Limp Bizkit album”. Seems Fred is having MTV go back and digitally alter video to make his ass look “less plump”. Go get em lard ass.

Jonathan Davies from Korn had extra hair digitally inserted where he’s balding in a couple of the bands videos from the last 2 years. Yeah, going bald and singing in Korn… if that doesn’t make you want to dive headfirst into a pit of alligators I don’t know what would.

One of the guitar players from the Explosion “had a nervous breakdown” and checked into a mental hospital. We’re not sure which one, probably the one who will be assuming the “more punk one” role as they slowly morph into a Good Charlotte cover band. Rama better get those guys on tour with the Sex Pistols and start making sure that those dudes wear their bandannas and mesh hats with their spiked bracelets, cause you know… that’s like “punk”.

For their newest video, AFI played Hatebreed and Throwdown over the P.A to get kids psyched up and matrix moshing. Meanwhile Davey Havok was backstage in his dressing room “getting psyched” watching Richard Simmons “Sweating 2 the Oldies 2” before doing his thing.

Jack in the Box has new Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. Mmm.

Let it be known, that as we enter a new era in shit music which includes jocks playing emo music, that it was here at Buddyhead that you first heard that Bro + emo = BRO-MO. Or perhaps E-BRO? Let’s see what catches on faster. Now watch every shitty publication rip us off.

So let’s talk about us some more… we all made it back from South By Southwest and the lovely state of TexAss in one piece it seems. Alvin didn’t even get arrested this time, although we thought he was gonna be a few times. We had bodyguards in toe. Earpieces and guns. The Icarus Line gave Texas a big hello in the form of Keith Morris (he was in these bands called Circle Jerks and Black Flag for all you dumber kids out there) jumping on stage and covering “Wasted” with them. Keith dedicated the song to “The ghost of Stevie Ray”. The next night Radio Vago played all new material from their upcoming full length and slayed. Dead Meadow played after them but we went to see Shat and Mudhoney. Shat killed it. Mangina would have made Keith Moon proud. Next it was back to Emo’s where we slid in the door with the help of Mr. Mark Arm himself and Graham from Emo’s. Thanks Graham, because of you we saw Mudhoney and for that we love you. Kisses. Mudhoney slayed. They didn’t play their Fang cover but they did play “Touch Me I’m Sick” as well as the first song off their new record which is killer. After the show Travis almost got clubbed for trying to used the restroom at the 4 Seasons. If anyone knows the buff lame asian guy who works security there tell him to eat our dicks. We ended the night by inviting ourselves to Mudhoney’s hotel room where we drank their beer and ate their pizza. Then the Captain cornered Mark Arm and delivered a 45-minute monolog about absolutely nothing. He finally scared Mark off to his room. Then we drove the rental van into some trees and porta-potties til we ruptured the fuel tank. It was killer. Fuck Texas by the way.

Edward Furlong was fucking wasted out of his mind at the Spun premiere last week and called Nick Stahl, the guy who replaced him in Terminator 3, “a punk”. We’re waiting to see what happens when Tom finally takes the plunge and gets wasted. We’re guessing that high heels, leeches, and knives will all be involved on that joyous occasion.

Finch fucking sucks.

The Offspring drummer guy finally got fed up with being like 45 years old and singing about high school shit so he quit. We hope that the other members realize their band is as silly as a midget wanting to go one on one with Shaquile O’Neal real soon. Josh Freeze is fucking blowing it.

In other Offspring news, after a round of bong rips they decided on “Chinese Democrazy (You Snooze You Lose)” for their next album’s title. Everything has gotta be goofy with those old men… Axl didn’t think it was funny, so he had his people tell his team of lawyers to slap them bitches with a fat ass lawsuit.

Iggy and The Stooges are playing Coachella. This sucks cuz we’ll be on tour with Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Everyone’s hoping Iggy isn’t playing at the same time as the Blue Man Group… NOT.

MTV is bringing back the Headbangers Ball, but instead of having Ian Robinson host it they’ve decided to get that pseudo nu-goth band slut from Much Music, Julia. Yeah, the half retarded girl with the voice that’s about as appealing as listening to babies dying, is on tap to host the show in hopes of securing the attention of fat 14 year old boys who call each other maggot and shit-tub after Slipknot invented nu-metal in 1999.

The Anniversary got dropped like a baby on its head from Vagrant Records this week. Reportedly, Rich Egan being the Minor Threat fan that he is, acted in pure punk rock form and dropped The Anniversary cuz they got a few Led Zeppelin records and figured out the Get Up Kids weren’t the next Beatles. After giving the band the boot from his Emotaph roster, Egan then posted an absolutely scathing explanation for his decision on the Vagrant message board, then removed it. Good thing we’ve got little elves on the internet that keep that shit for us. Here’s what was posted:
Rich Egan:
“im simply not at liberty to go into details.
suffice to say this.
you will NEVER see this band
1) on tour with other Vagrant bands. The Get Up Kids or anyone else.
2) being promoted on this website.
Vagrant and our bands are a family. When someone goes out of their
way to hurt any member of the family, we circle the wagons. We are in
this together. And those that aim to hurt a family member will feel
the effects of their actions from the ENTIRE family. its that simple.
i have learned a couple things in my years—-when you dont live in
the real world, and refuse to give credit to anyone else, you become
blinded by your own inflated sense of self worth (however unrealistic
or unearned that is). when you dont work for a damn thing and get
everything handed to you, you start to assume that you deserve what
you have.
when your sole concern is your own personal gain, you dont care who
gets hurt by your self centered, despicable actions, you have no
problem anilihating relationships with everyone and anyone who helped
make your station in life possible. this usually comes with
tremendous ego. ego and jealousy make people do disgusting things.
some people dont realize what they have (or WHO they have) until all
those people are gone (or alienated). then they are left alone,
bitter and broken with only their inflated egos to comfort them”

Dashboard Confessional loves his fans so much that he told us it’d be “mighty swell” if he could talk to them at all hours of the evening. He likes talking about subjects ranging from his favorite sweater vest to his favorite gay bukkake pornos. Call up Chris… he’s awake all the time. Tell him Buddyhead thinks he’s totally awesome… not. (561) 289-6615

International Noise Conspiracy are close to inking up with American Records. This way they can buy even more pairs of $200.00 “vintage” jeans to help in their fight against capitalism. Rick Rubin is going to try and fool everyone into thinking that Swedes are still cool.

A.F.I. is gonna trick the youth of America into thinking pop punk is goth.

Somebody at Epic is going to get fired over signing those whining dipshits, The Juliana Theory. It seems that kids aren’t buying the “emo” on the new record or whatever. It’s either that or the fact that listening to that shit is like listening to audio from a Nazi concentration camp. No thanks.

Colin Farrell knocked up some model in between making sure Brittney’s ass gets tapped. Jeff Wood is pissed at Collin Farrell.

Shat is in Entertainment Weekly in the music section under “worst band names”. Those dudes who did the story are fucking posers. Email the editors at Entertainment Weekly and tell them you’re boycotting their magazine unless they print an apology. ew-letters@ew.com

The doofy looking guitar player from New Found Glory is sticking his shit in Kelly Osbourne’s burger. We’re not exactly sure which goofy looking guitar player cause they both look kinda beefy faced down syndrome-ish, but that’s not really the point. The point is that this dude is batting clean up to that shower-less troll from the Used…… yeah, Bert. Bert’s dirty penis slid into that shit first, so we can’t even imagine what’s going on there, cause that guy showers less than Travis.

There are interns at major labels whose only job is to read Buddyhead and report to A&R people what we say is cool. When we posted about These Arms Are Snakes, RCA records called them the next day. When we posted about Roy, they received packages from every lame nu-metal label. If you are one of these interns, grab anything that’s not bolted down (including cd’s, lp’s, computers, chairs, watches, dvd players, you name it) and mail it to us. PO Box 1268 Hollywood, CA 90078 Thanks in advance.

These Arms Are Snakes just inked a record deal with Jade Tree. I guess when you have a member of ROY in your band you can write your own ticket.

Vincent Gallo will appear in any bands video as long as you pay for his first class flight, 5 star hotel, and hook him up with drugs and blonde girls. He doesn’t care if the music’s good. Contact him via his website http://www.vincentgallo.com/contact/. He loves attention.

Speaking of Vincent Gallo… GLASSJAW FUCKING SUCKS.

Your Enemies Friends still don’t have a keyboard player.

Not smoking weed is fucking Snoop up. Somehow, some way, Snoop Dogg thought it’d be a good idea to do guest tracks on what is sure to be the anti-christ in audio form, aka the new Limp Bizkit album. Snoop, fix this shit or you’re off the team.

Fred Durst will be co-hosting all this week on that late night frat comedy show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. It tapes in Hollywood at the El Capitan Theatre nightly. If you wanna go sit in the audience and throw shit at Freddy, click here to get on the guest list.

Cave In is going on tour with the Foo Fighters AND… THE TRANSPLANTS. We’d go, but Burger King has that new Italian Chicken Sandwich back… so like… we’re busy.

Bam from Jackass was so amped the last time we posted his number… so here’s his other number (484) 433-2281.

Some dude in Arkahoma got real suspicious when Godspeed! You Black Emporer showed up to his hole in the wall gas station and called the FBI claiming he had terrorists at his place. The FBI showed up guns drawn and interrogated the old punkers from GYBE for a bit. When everyone finally realized that they weren’t threatening, they were just a little “slow” cause they’re from Canada, everything was coolio.

Radiohead’s got a new record coming out called “Hail To The Thief”. Capitol’s bummed cuz this is the last one they get before Radiohead’s contract is up. They’re coming to the US in the summer.

Andrew Clark, who plays bass in Campfire Girls, had his house burn down last week. That means he lost all his bomb records and all his killer silverlake clothes. They had a benefit show to help him get back on his feet on Friday. If you missed that and want to help Andrew out, send him some cash or killer records in the mail. He really needs it. His address is: 1812 Ewing St. Los Angeles, CA 90026

In more LA band’s getting fucked news, Jason from Midnight Movies had his car broken into and most of his gear stolen. If anybody can make donations towards the deductible of his car insurance, call him at (323) 839-3058. Seriously.

Michael Moore fucking rules as far as speeches and making movies goes. We bet he’s pretty good at eating too.

Creem! Magazine is coming back. Click here for their site. You know that’s gonna suck. A bunch of pussy writers talking about The Strokes.

All Tomorrow’s Parties is coming to LA June 20th-22nd and it’s gonna be killer. Wire, Trail of Dads, Blonde Redhead, Boredoms, Breeders, Fantomas, Le Tigre, Mogwai, Patti Smith, The Black Heart Procession, The Fall, The Melvins, and a bunch of other shit we don’t care about. Can someone sneak us in the backdoor or some shit? http://www.atpfestival.com/

Shane from Playing Enemy is in love with Alex Newport.

People should go see Alex Newport’s band, Theory of Ruin, because he was in Fudge Tunnel and Nailbomb, and another dude was in Mr. Bungle. He also recorded good records from At The Drive-In, Mars Volta, Your Enemies Friends, and The Icarus Line among others. And he has a cute little accent… and ass.

F-Minus are selling out the scene and opening up for rap/punk moguls, the Transplants on tour. Bomb idea guys. On the lighter side of things, F-Minus just finished their new album with Steve Albini and it’s stellar.

Skinhead Rob from The Transplants got a “solo deal” with Warner Bros as a hip hop artist. KILLER!

Is it just us or is the trucker hat thing pissing you off too? If it’s not, go buy one of the ones we’re selling. We’re sellouts.

The christian dude in Pedro the Lion makes more in one royalty check than both the owners of Jade tree make in a whole year combined. Jesus is gay.
We’re bringing Sex Advice back. Well, actually now we’re just making Marko do it. Send him some sex questions so he has something to answer, marko@buddyhead.com. Also, check out www.hotelcafe.com it’s the Coffee Shop Marko owns (they serve wine and beer too now). The address is online if you wanna stalk him ladies or dudes.

We got a new messageboard, it’s at http://www.buddyhead.com/forum if you wanna go chat it up. We must warn you though, most of the kids on there sound like a bunch of pussies. But then again, last time we checked it was FREE FOR YOU SO SHUT THE FUCK UP. Also, Jeff Wood of Shat is on there like all day, so that prolly balances out all the pussiness in the end. Just remember, just cos it says BUDDYHEAD on the top of the thing doesn’t mean we condone or agree with most of the shit on there. In fact, we hardly, if ever, go there. Play nice kiddies.

The new Harkonen/Playing Enemy side project is called Beset by Archers. It sounds like Guided by Voices and Arab Strap. Sounds awesome… not.

Blood Brothers are going on a US tour and taking Akimbo and Playing Enemy with them. They still have two singers that can’t sing.

Unsane are on tour again. Chris from Unsane is an heir to the Time/Warner/AOL fortune so he gets millions of dollars just to be alive. That dude should give us some coin so we can hire some dudes to pick up some of the slack around here.

The Atari’s singer Kris Roe has switched from wearing a red tie to wearing a black tie. Now, they’ll never know where you got the idea!

Casper Adams knows famous people and he’s got a truck load of class! If you wanna fuck Casper or fight Casper, you can send your naked photos and death threats to him @ casper@louisville.cc.

Paranorm said we had to link his new cd or he’d beat us up. Download the fuck out of this so we aren’t harmed. http://www.headcrack.com/audio/slap.html

Someone say BOOOYAAAAH!!!!!! (Click on booyah)

Oh, and if you’re one of those major label types with an expense account, you should make sure to find us and buy us food and drinks. And email us any party invites we may need. BOOYAH.

The Icarus Line have been rather diligent as of late. It shows… don’t it? Don Devore of Ink & Dagger, Lilys, etc., is the new bass player. Lance decided to pursue his lifelong dream of being a kindergarten teacher. We wish him the best. The Captain is back on drums as well. Troy Boy thought the band “wasn’t goth enough”, and has decided to be a full time goth male dancer at a nearby Hollywood strip club. The first show with the new rhythm section will be in Austin this weekend at South By Southwest… which happened to be Captain’s last show with the band exactly a year ago. Odd. The band is hitting the road to work out new tunes in towns in Holland you can’t pronounce, England, and on a west coast US tour with Yeah Yeah Yeahs for all you normaloids. Check it out:

The Icarus Line’s debut album, “Mono”, is also being re-released on Buddyhead. It should hit stores before summer. The new version of the album will include some slight changes in the artwork, which were the band’s original concepts. The cd will also be enhanced and feature an updated version of the “Feed A Cat To Your Cobra” video. Also slated for release in the near future is an album containing all of the band’s early out of print 7 inches, e.p.’s, etc…. even their demo too. But first out in the UK on Sweet Nothing Records, will be another single from the “Mono” album, “Love Is Happiness”. They think they’re prolific now.

Radio Vago are heading out to Euro-land as well with The Mars Volta. But first, they have a couple U.S. shows this week on their way out to Texass and back. L.A. show too. Check those out:

“What Do You Think Christina Aguilera Is Doing Right Now?”
“I Fucked Your Wife”
“Hermaphrodite”
“Shit On Her Tits”

Oh yeah, Your Enemies Friends are the only Buddyhead band not playing SXSW this year. They had to cancel cos they still don’t have a keyboard player. Cut the shit and email them.

That Honda Civic Tour isn’t real.

Call up Coolio and ask him where the party is at? We’ve called him every night for the past week, and every time he says he’s headed to the party but he’s stuck in traffic on Sunset. His number is (310) 245-4959.

Fred Durst posted on his website that “AGREEANCE is a word according to the OXFORD-ENGLISH DICTIONARY”. Yeah, it’s a word, but the catch is the last time people used it was in 1415… it’s doubtful the fat one was at home reading the old testament one night and figured he throw that into his vocab rotation. No Bro, you’re still an idiot. Black people are glad you’re white.

In other retard related news, Limp Bizkit will also be performing 2 songs live at Wrestlemania in Seattle on March 30th. They didn’t say who was gonna actually play guitar, but we’re sure any of those beef jerky eating steroid-beefcakes could figure out those mosh riffs in a second.

The DFA are having their balls licked by every major label dude in town trying to get a piece of The Rapture. Everybody’s gonna be rich.

The pigs are gonna take Travis’s Honda away. We’re not getting rich.

Someone send us the new Nick Cave record. If you’re a stupid kid, go buy the “Junkyard” record by The Birthday Party.

Led Zeppelin’s “How The West Was Won” 2-CD live audio set and 2xDVD which will have some of the same shows on video, will hit stores May 27th. Finally we can all get stoned and watch some live Zeppelin footage without having to see Jimmy Page dressed up like a knight on a horse.

Kudos to Kathleen Wilson of Seattle’s “The Stranger” for publishing Buddyhead gossip and not giving us credit.

Interpol just inked a deal with “LA Style” hair gel for $10,000 and a free lifetime supply. They’re stoked.

Everyone is huffing the dong of The Whip. They are the new Karp / Joe Preston of the Melvins and Thrones band. They sound exactly how you think they would.

Frankie’s underage drinking parties in Seattle got shut down by the liquor board. Now Damian (Playing Enemy) and his buddies are going to have to cruise junior high schools or Interpol shows to get burger.

The Weakerthans signed to Epitaph.

That rapper guy who’s making Eminem even richer, 50 Cent, is gonna put out another record real soon. This record will be some sort of “bootleg” collection, and the intro will have mtv’s goldenboy, Gideon Yago sampled from one of his mtv news reports. Gideon is down like that.

By the way, if you listen to 50 Cent, and you’re over 12, shame on you.

Is it just us or does AFI sound like Poison with Danzig singing? Email their bass player Hunter and ask him what his favorite Poison record is… we’re guessing he’s had “Unskinny Bop ” in his walkman lately. His email is insanestalker@aol.com.

Turbonegro’s new record is still the most anticipated release this year. Someone better send us a copy! They are taking JR Ewing on tour too. If you live over there though you prolly already know cuz there isn’t much else to do besides shovel snow.

Do not go see Lord of The Rings. It is a waste of three hours. Save your eight bucks, here’s what happens… Nothing.

On the other hand, Vanilla Sky is great. But don’t get us wrong, we still think that Tom Cruise needs to get taken out back for a jumbo sized ass whooping. Whoever did the score for the film gets an A+ for good taste in music… Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, The Beach Boys, and even Spiritualized. (although Spiritualized and the Beach Boys didn’t make the cut on the soundtrack cd… someone’s blowing it) The film is a remake of the Spanish movie “Abre los Ojos”, which we hear is even better. During the making Cameron Crowe referred to the film crew as his “band” and in interviews he insists on referring to the film as a “cover”.

Speaking of Cameron Crowe, he just put out the “bootleg” Almost Famous dvd with tons of extra bonus stuff. You get a Stillwater ep, extra footage, behind the scenes, and video clips of a Lester Bangs interview that is worth the price alone.

We’re sure you’ve heard about this by now, but it’s just too funny for us not to comment on it. Millionaire and 30-year-old star of Reality Bites (isn’t that just ironic?) Winona Ryder, got totally busted at about 7pm last Wednesday for shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Looks like hanging out with Courtney Love has been wearing off on our cute little indie-rockstar dating machine. She was arrested (and later released from custody just after 11:30 p.m., when she posted the $20,000 bail) on charges of grand theft and possessing pharmaceutical drugs without a prescription. Winona, next time you get bored, instead of stealing a bunch of shit you can afford anyhow, you are welcome to come over to our house to pop some pills and play a little Playstation 2… well, as long as you don’t steal anything that is.
In this weeks Kerrang (it’s the one with Fred Durst’s fat head on the cover), there is a two page interview with our own Travis Keller with quotes from Freddy D himself about his thoughts on Buddyhead. Thanks to a lovely friend from the UK (who scanned it for us, you can click below to read it. Make sure Fred knows about it… call him and read it to him (310) 865 7671.

High-res: (Part one) (Part Two)

Oh and by the way, while in New York Travis spoke with the Playboy model (Jennifer Rovero) that supposedly gave birth to Fred Durst’s devil seed, and she said that her child does not belong to Fat Freddy. GASP!!

Guns N’ Roses just signed to Creative Artists Agency. They just happen to be one of the bigger booking agencies that work for Rock N’ Roll bands. Meaning… Axl and his band of geeks will tour soon.

So, the Rev Horton Heat debacle has set off Sub Pop co-owner Bruce Pavitt. From what we’ve heard, he’s so pissed off by the mismanagement of the label & its inability to reign its debts (& maybe not make a loss for a change), he is contacting Warner Music about selling his half of the holding company that owns the majority of Sub Pop for a fire sale price. If they pass on it, he’s going to then see if Geffen-Universal are interested, in case they want to have all those Nirvana records in one place.

Speaking of Nirvana records, Courtney – where the fuck is our Nirvana box set?!?!?!

Could the last issue of Spin yell “WE ARE REALLY OUT OF TOUCH!!!!” any louder? First somebody thinks it’s relevant to write a two page article on the misuse of the word “emo”. Honey, no one cept your out of touch, aging asses and 14 year old Saves The Day fans dare to utter the word. STOP! And when did Weezer become the poster emo band for these magazines? Then they put the “American Pie 2” soundtrack on their top 20 records of the year and say that U2 was the best band of the year. Any rock magazine that nominates a compilation with Sum 41, Alien Ant Farm, Blink 182, and 3 Doors Down as one of the most essential albums of the year doesn’t understand rock n’ roll. And any rock magazine that picks a band who’s last good record came out at least a decade ago as the best band in the year 2001 needs a swift kick in the taint.

Speaking of being behind on things… Punk Planet got the idea to write an “expose” on Vagrant Records from reading our site. Great idea guys, glad we thought of it six months ago.

Isn’t it funny when people take credit for something they didn’t do and get called out on it? We think it is. The best is when those marketing companies that jack major labels for tons of money yet don’t do shit, send what we write about here (good or bad) to their clients (i.e. labels) acting like they took part in our words ending up on our own page. Some STUD named Tim Studler has been doing just that. If you’ve actually gotten some of his emails that say just that, he’s lying. We write about what we want to write about here (good or bad). Just because Tim’s an “industry” stud and gets paid to like bands, doesn’t mean we’re gonna listen to him and like them as well. Sorry Tim, you are totally suckin’ dicks on this one. Don’t throw our name around.

Speaking of using our name for evil… we keep hearing our name leave the lips of the “Senior VP of A&R” over at Atlantic Records, Mr. Mike Caren, who has signed a long list of soulless and downright embarrassing “urban music stars” such as Twista, Trick Daddy, Trina, and Drama. Great picks Mikey. Not. So anyhow, Mike has been name dropping Buddyhead in interviews and reports to prove just how “down with the youth culture” he is. We’d like to take this time to ask him to stop. If you ain’t down with the cause, get off the nuts G.

The Icarus Line have been making a lot of year end “best of” lists. Courtney Love put them at number two in her top 5 of 2001 in this week’s issue of NME (right behind our favorite four car garage band fronted by a child actor… The Strokes and their singer – Julian Casablancas of “Big” fame). And further – a whole lot further – down the rockstar totem-pole, some guy from that band The Bloodhound Gang listed “Mono” at #1 for Allstar’s top ten. (click here for the rest of his list… someone tell him that “Physical Graffiti” didn’t come out this year) And in hater news, Dave Muddle used a fake name to review “Mono” in his emo fanzine; “Jeepers! Drive Like Jehu just put a new record out. It’s super zippy. Highly recommended for the fans”. Always so clever that Dave.

Dave Grohl likes the Icky Line too! After seeing them play at The Black Cat in DC, Dave wrote about it on his website. Check it out (Click here for the real deal): Friday night we took a field trip down to the Black Cat for the CAVE IN show. For all of you who don’t know about CAVE IN, you should. High voltage rock+roll. All over the stage, feedback up the yin yang, kick ass drummer, weird and very interesting guitar stuff, good melodies. We walked in as the opening band ICARUS LINE was playing, and were completely floored by them too. They fucking kick some major asshole. We hung with them for a little bit, got a bit sloppy (I blew it and left my CD and shirt at the bar, which hurt even more than the hangover the next day) and cabbed it home for fear that DC’s finest would want us to spend some time with them downtown.

The Icarus Line are heading over to do a two month tour in Europe. The dates in the UK will have the very awesome Burning Brides opening the shows. Dates will be posted soon. DON’T EMAIL US FOR DATES, WE AREN’T BOOKING THE FUCKING TOUR!

Pictures of The Icarus Line from the Atlanta stop of the tour are up at bandphotography.com. Click here.

Some dude in New found Glory called Andrew from Piebald a communist for wearing a Buddyhead shirt. We’re gonna call him a geek for being in a pop punk band.

Vagrant Records signed The Dropkick Murphys. They will release a split ep with those old geezers Face To Face real soon. We’re sure you and… well… Rich Egan are real excited about that one.

Speaking of Vagrant, they are about to give birth to a new little bag of evil known as a Dashboard Confessional ep. Four songs of devil music with the jesus freak guy from Sunny Day on guitar coming soon. Email Dave, (xkilledgex@aol.com) he’s guitar tech-ing for Dashboard Confessional. Maybe you can convince him to detune Chris’ guitars, or beter yet destroy them right before he plays in order to make this world a better place.

The singer of the progressive metal band, Death, Chuck Schuldiner died this past week due to a brain tumor at the age of 34. The band’s most recent effort (not to mention their best), “Sound of Perseverance”, was released on Nuclear Blast Records in 1998. Go pick it up if you like bands like Dillinger Escape Plan. A memorial web site has been produced in honor of Schuldiner (at www.emptywords.org), and fans can post their thoughts in an online book of condolences that will be sent to Schuldiner’s family.

In other sad news, Bianca Halstead (a.k.a Bianca Butthole), bassist/singer for the Hollywood band Betty Blowtorch was killed around 5:30am last Saturday morning in a car accident in New Orleans. The driver of the car was William McAllister, reportedly a correspondent for Metal Sludge. According to Chris Lee from the New Orleans band Supagroup, who was with Bianca up until she left with McAllister, McAllister and Bianca left the El Matador Lounge near Decatur Street after a night of post-gig partying with tourmates Nashville Pussy following their gig at the Howlin’ Wolf. “They were driving on the I10 toward Kinner in a ’86 Corvette when McAllister lost control of the wheel and the car spun around. They were sideswiped by another car on Bianca’s side and she was killed instantly. McAllister is being held by New Orleans police and is facing criminal charges. The two passengers in the other car have been hospitalized.” A local news story on the incident reported today that their car jumped the median and swerved into oncoming traffic before being hit. Sources say McAllister appeared inebriated, though Bianca has been sober for 10 years. Our hearts go out to Bianca’s friends and family.

Can’t wait for that new Hot Fuckin Snakes record… hurry up John!

It seems Dreamworks has lost their patience with Elliott Smith. He was dropped from the label this week. He just finished a new full length and from what we’ve heard it’s amazing.

AFI has officially announced that they have signed to Dreamworks Records. Their website stated that “Dexter told them that Nitro no longer has the resources to accomadate there larger than life band”. The A&R guy who signed them is the same guy who signed Creeper Lagoon and Elliot Smith.

Emily’s Bat Mitzvah is one of the major label flavors of the month, and it looks like they’ll be the next band Dreamworks is going to scoop up. Strap your helmets on boys.

Thursday signed to Wind Up Records and changed their named to Boy Hits Car.

Speaking of hype, the “industry” is licking it’s filthy lips over a band of young fashionable boys from Seattle called “Vendetta Red”. The word is that they “sound just like At The Drive-In”. Well, we saw them play an “industry showcase”, which means they went to some rehearsal space in the valley and played their songs for a bunch of old A&R suits. We infiltrated the gathering, cos we were dying to see what the hub bub was all about. A word of advice for bands that major labels are pursuing, if you’re a REAL band and some A&R person wants to see you play, make them come and see you on your own turf, AT A SHOW, and don’t thank them for coming to see you… IT’S THEIR JOB, THEY GET PAID TO ACT LIKE THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR BAND. Any band that plays an industry “showcase” is off the list of real bands. What are you, fucking N’Sync? No real band plays showcases to old lame people in hopes that they will get their “big break”. Real bands play shows. Sorry kids. The shit seems to be working though, cos apparently the suits are going ga-ga over these kids who apparently saw At the Drive-In once, and thought it would be swell to wear tight pants, grow out afro’s, and try to dance around while they play. Too bad they don’t really sound like At the Drive-In, it’s more like Blink182 if Blink182 had only played a handful of shows.

Meanwhile A&R people aren’t freaking out over real bands who really are amazing like Les Savy Fav.

Amoeba needs to sponsor Buddyhead.

Strife has a new record coming out on Victory called “Angermeans”. From what we’ve heard, now that the boys don’t really have the “Inner Struggle” (they aren’t straight edge anymore), this record is going to be more of a party/feel good record.

The kids from Jackass just signed a deal to make a theatrical version of them pooping on and kicking each others genitals as well as at least three primetime “Jackass” tv specials which will run in 2002. The movie starring Johnny Knoxville, directed by Jeff Tremaine (for MTV Films and Paramount), and produced by Spike Jonze, Knoxville and Tremaine; will begin filming in January.

Tom Green and Drew Barrymore have filed for divorce. The papers, which were filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, cite that Drew was tired of Tom “eating her poop”.

If you like skateboarding, penises, weird creatures barfing on themselves, kids smoking, and naked paintings of Ed Templeton’s wife, check out Ed’s new art fag show called “Black Sperm of Vengeance” at the new image art gallery in Santa Monica. If you can’t make it there, check out their website for some previews of Ed’s stuff. The site also has directions if you need that as well. newimageartgallery.com

Last Wednesday at Spa in NYC, every comic book collectors favorite rock star, Gene Simmons, had a party for his new book. Gene invited Gwen Stefani and Ozzy Osbourne but they didn’t show. But Sebastian Bach did (no, he wasn’t wearing the “aids kills fags dead” shirt) and he brought his wife. Two tribute bands played, one that played and another that just dry humped girls in the audience. Gene turned up his macking skills to an impressive level 10 as he was surrounded by ladies with watermelon sized breasts.

With Corey from Slipknot starting work on his side project called Superego, the rest of the band has headed into the studio with Buckethead to record an album under the working title “hockey stick guitars and goofy getups”.

Melissa Auf Der Mar has a Black Sabbath tribute band and they are playing their first NYC show at Spa on January 23. Hopefully they like Ozzy better than Dio.

Good Charlotte have a “new stage show” from what we hear. They now play dramatic theme music from “Edward Scissorhands” for half an hour before they take the stage and wear bandanas and face paint onstage.

We’re not sure who cares, we sure don’t, but just in case you’re weird and like Seal, he’s going into the studio with William Orbit to do a new album soon.

Not only has Moby been busy taking care of his new puppy, but he’s been working on a new album which is supposed to feature lots of (*gasp*) singers.

Internet geeks around the world, your dreams have come true… Britney Spears is posing nude in an ad for PETA. We’ll for sure keep you posted on this.

The first major label cd to be released with the new copy protection mechanism built in will be “More Fast and Furious” (which is the second installment of the soundtrack to the movie Fast and Furious with such bands as Limp Bizkit) will be released on Dec. 18. Damn.

Coalesce is back together. Yawn.

Demian from Playing Enemy said that the singer of Kittie loves his band (Playing Enemy) and that the last time they came through Seattle, she asked their tour manager to track them down so she could bang them.

We’d like to take this time to explain to Demian’s bass player that wearing trench coats and big pants isn’t the coolest things here in the two double zero one.

Last update we posted “That new “Ex-Sunny Day” project with Jeremy, Will, and Nate is going to be called “The Fire Theft”. It’s apparently named after a common idea found in ancient mythology. Someone look that up for us. Well we can always count on Prof. Yaya. Shelby from Frodus did some research for us and here’s what he came up with:
“i did some research for you on ‘the theft of fire’:

Prometheus/promethean
The god Prometheus (“forethought”), son of the titan Iapetus, was the creator of humanity and its benefactor. He bestowed upon mortals many gifts that lifted them from savagery to civilization. One of his most potent benefactions was fire, which he stole from heaven in a fennel stalk to give to mankind a boon expressly forbidden by Zeus. As a punishment for his championship of human beings in opposition to Zeus, Prometheus was bound to a rocky crag and a vulture ate at his liver, which would grow back again for each day’s repast. Thus the name Prometheus becomes synonymous for the archetypal champion, with fire his symbol of defiance and progress. The adjective Promethean means courageous, creative, original, and life-sustaining. Beethoven’s music may be called Promethean and Mary Shelley subtitled her gothic horror novel Frankenstein, A Modern Prometheus.

Also, a theme in other mythologies, like this instance in Finnish mythology:

Louhi, the gap-toothed hag of the North, then got hold of the sun, she caught the moon with her hands and she brought them straight back home to the dark North land. She hid the sun from shining into a bright breasted rock and she sung the moon from gleaming into a mountain of steel. Then she stole the fire from all the cabins. And now it was night; perpetual, long, pitch dark night …

Even God felt cold. So he struck fire on his fingernails to start a new sun and a new moon. But the spark of fire flared up and escaped. It wrought terrible damage all through the world, until it was swallowed by a fish.

Enjoy,

Shelby Cinca aka Prof. Yaya”

Aside from research for Buddyhead.com and watching “Lord of the Rings”, Shelby is back working with his other band, The Cassettes. He’s posted some mp3’s off their new album (one features the guitar player from Dead Meadow – if you don’t have their two records and you are one of those people who think the White Stripes are “mind blowing” you are a fool – get it). www.thecassettesmusic.com

The Basement Jaxx video for “Where’s Your Head At” has monkey dogs in it and rules.

Speaking of videos, The Strokes made a new one… here’s the world preimere.

Travis Barker of Blink 182 is starting a side band which he says will be influenced by Fugazi, the Minutemen, and a touch of Refused. Ten bucks says the singer is from a shitty pop punk band.

Photos of The Revolution Smile anyone? Click here.

Call up Tommy Lee and tell him you heard a rumor his pee pee is on the large side of the fence. (818) 721-2162.

Bright Eyes has just entered into the studio and begun work on an upcoming full length scheduled for a fall 2002 release.

Crazy Town has written 30 songs for their next audio travesty and are in their newly purchased studio here in Los Angeles and are planning on bringing in an as-yet-undecided producer in the near future. Columbia Records does not yet have a release date for the album, let’s hope it’s far, far away from now.

Initial Records signed another band no one gives a fuck about, Ultimate Fakebook. They’ll be releasing their third full length on March 19, 2001 and it will be called “Open Up And Say Awesome.” Glam metal references are goofy!

Somebody sent an email to inform us: “Hey, last night I was at the The Starting Line show in south jersey and some kids wrote “Suckin Dicks” on Don’t Look Downs tour trailer… man people like to rip off you guys.” Well, if it’s for a good cause such as that, then we say more power to em. Keep up the good work kids.

Holy shit, “The Mouse” emailed us: “I’m “the mouse” bitch! the one who likes to hump and I’m ready to pump!” His real name is Doug. Email him at Dougdevens@aol.com and ask him what it felt like when Jeff Wood dry humped him and got a boner from it.

In Santa Barbara (which was the first day of tour – out of LA), Aaron decided to start things off right and basically thank Cave In for taking The Icarus Line out on this hell ride across America by spray painting “Suckin Dicks” on the side of Cave In’s rider truck. Don’t worry we got photos. In the van Lance plays a lot of playstation. He has already beat Tony Hawk 3. By the way, not many people know this, but Lance can skate damn well in real life too. He puts some “pros” to shame, but that’s another weird story. He never lets anybody see him skate. He only skates at night or when nobody is looking. I caught him skating once on this tour, doing a switchstance 360 impossible to a manual on a handrail. He was pissed I took a photo. Nearly kicked my ass. Weirdo. Aaron listens to System of a Down a lot. Captain plays with the mega phone a bunch. I make sure to play cd’s no one else wants to hear (i.e. Fiona Apple) and find all the bad top 40 radio stations. Mitch drives and smokes. Al keeps us all in check. In Seattle, the show was a star-studded event to say the least. Members of Pretty Girls Make Graves, Playing Enemy, Botch, The Subdebs, photographer Robin Lannanan, and even Papa Roach were in attendance. Cave In brought the house down. Afterwards we stayed at Demian from Playing Enemy’s house where we watched his dvd’s and blew loads in his shower. Thanks baby. Our van broke down about an hour away from Missoula Montana, so we had to get towed to the show via Billy Bob and his kick ass tow truck. Billy Bob didn’t take kindly to us California folk. We all rode in our non-heated van on top of the tow truck for an hour. Can you say suckin dicks? Once there, we played at Buck’s Bar. Buck’s was amazing. The Lazorwolfs opened. No, not the Lazorwolves. So far the best opening band. The club also had a special: a burger and a beer for a buck. The Captain didn’t want to leave. Due to our broken van we ended up missing the next two shows. Cave In went on without us while we played old Nintendo games and hung out in the local hick bar. The kids we stayed with were really cool and listened to metal. Lots of metal. Only metal. We filled the metal listening quota for the tour in Missoula. A big huge thanks to them for putting up with us and driving us around. After that we drove 25 hours to catch up to the tour in Kansas City. Some of the Get Up Kids came to show, as did Matt Rubin from the paperbrigade.com. All I remember about that show was that the pizza place down the street made shitty pizza. From there it was off to Minneapolis. We played at the club that Prince owns. It was also in “Purple Rain”. That equals bomb. The Icarus Line and Cave In played the small room, and in the large room they had a hip-hop show featuring The Pharcyde (or what’s left of them), Souls of Mischief, The Coup, Kut Master Kurt, and Planet Asia. Aaron ended up splitting his head open on the low ceiling when he jumped out off of the stage during the Icarus Line’s set. We taped his head all up and then Mitch took him to the hospital to get mad stitches. While Icky was getting needles shoved in his head, the rest of The Icarus Line pack headed over to catch the Hip Hop show. Way more girls like hip-hop than underground rock. That theory was tested and proven. Souls of Mischief took the stage and reminded me that hip-hop doesn’t translate live. I really can’t stand hip-hop live, the sound is just never right, they are always yelling, and they never play a full song, it’s always like some weird shouting medley of their songs. Oh, and we had to pick Captain up at a different address the next morning. Yeah, he got lucky with the fly bartender. High five to rock n’ roll. When we were in Milwaukee (the home of Pabst beer), I read in the newspaper that Pabst is up for sale and you can even change the name. So if you have $8 million dollars you could pick yourself up a butt load of shitty cheap beer. Think about it. We’ll go in on it with you and call it Buddyhead Beer. In Detroit, Nate of Buddyhead fame showed up and started drinking early, buying us shots and just getting rad in true rock n’ roll style. He offered us a place to stay but when the show was over no one could find Nate, so we ended up having to drive on to Cleveland. Turns out half way through Cave In’s set Nate went outside, threw up, passed out in his puke, woke up an hour later, and staggered to a bus which took him home where he passed out. God we love Nate (btw, Nate’s newest cartoon – which will be up soon – is fucking amazing). In Toledo, before the show we were all bored so The Captain showed us all his back hair “wings” and somehow it evolved into Mitch and Anthony pulling it off with duct tape. A crowd gathered around while Jeff put on his best show. I filmed it and the production came out well. The Icarus Line played really well, one of the best shows of the tour so far. They opened with this new really long song they have. Some heads started to bob as the steady drums came in and some hardcore kid jaw’s dropped in confusion as well. Joe stood right up front, sometimes on top of the monitor pawing the heads of kids in the front row as he moaned out the lyrics. Aaron was up front as well on the left side of the stage, swinging his guitar, forcing a space bubble of about three or four feet in front of him due to kids fearing their face would get ripped off. Cave In ended up only playing one song, and after their first song Stephen (their singer) threw down his guitar and left the stage due to being ill. After a few minutes of no music and the crowd yelling for Cave In to play more songs, Joe and Aaron joined the rest of Cave In on stage to try and satisfy the hungry crowd with a tasty cover of Nirvana’s “Breed”. Aaron plugged in Stephen’s guitar and a wave of feedback and screeching noise blasted out. They tinkered with it, until it sounded right. Then Adam spoke into the mic and said (something along the lines of) “sorry about what just happened, we’re gonna try and cover Nirvana’s ‘breed’, sorry if it sucks”. And with that they went into it. The familiar riff kicked in and the restless crowd started moving. They sounded great, amazing in fact considering the circumstances. If I didn’t know better I would have thought that they had practiced the song together before, which is the exact opposite of the truth. Aaron played the solo while Adam fedback like a champ and Joe screamed like he had stomach pains. When the song ended Aaron left the stage and Joe and Cave In belted out Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused”. Joe stood over to the right side of the stage on the other side of Caleb and Adam as they both flailed and hit the crowd with a wave of a very familiar sonic blast. It was definitely a moment. A show saver if you will. After the show we packed up and went downstairs to the gothic rave. Let me tell you, there’s nothing like a midwestern gothic rave. And there’s really nothing like seeing Lance dance in jest to bad Cure remixes. Last night was Cincinnati, which was hands down the worst show of the tour so far. Cave In took the night off due to Stephen being sick, we were sold out of Icarus Line cd’s, and Aaron’s amp broke. But after the show was a good time, Buddyhead’s own Ryan Santos took us to a lesbian Karaoke bar called “Shirley’s”. Shirley, who is an 80-year-old lesbian, runs the karaoke machine. Mitch did a stunning version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”. Then The Captain and Travis did Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”. Lots of “Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh’s”. Ryan got pretty drunk and tried to convince us all that “it’s not gay if you use a condom”, but none of us fell for it. Today it’s off to St. Louis. It’ll be good to have Cave In back, and hopefully both bands will get back into the groove they were in a few nights ago. If you are gonna come to any of the remaining shows, come to the merch booth and say hi. I’m not only selling Icarus Line merch, but I also have Text and Ink & Dagger cd’s for sale as well. No Buddyhead shirts though, sorry. We also need places to stay so if you can offer us up a couch or a floor or your bed (email us your contact info travis@buddyhead.com), we’ll give you a high five and an interesting night. Maybe. Also, make sure to check out Anthony’s (drum tech and now merch guy for Cave In since Santos left the tour) journal, he’s been keeping a pretty good log of the tour cuz his laptop is bomb. Click here. Although all his journal basically talks about is how he thinks we’re all lame and gay. But he also has some of the digital photos I’ve taken posted. We’ll have a gallery of those up here soon when I can steal his laptop from him. We’d have it up now but he had to fly home for Thanksgiving so he could play hockey with his dad and mom or something. Now on with the shit you actually care about…

A few kids that came to the show in Milwaukee told us they saw The Icarus Line video on MTV2. Make sure to hit up the MTV2 website and request it. http://www.mtv.com/onair/mtv2/requests.jhtml.

Supposedly, last week at the Troubadour for the Mars Volta show, there were four kids outside who couldn’t get into the sold-out, hyped-up, industry-dickhead-packed show. Courtney Love (with Winona Rider and Jim Barber ie- the guy she pays to point her drunk ass in the right direction) caused a bit of a scene (Courtney said that she “didn’t cause a scene” and that she “just got someone in a Buddyhead shirt in for free” and told Wynona to be “nice to them”) when she tried to get one of them who was wearing a Buddyhead shirt into the club. As she accosted him, she asked “do you write for buddyhead?!” The kid replied with “Eh, no, but get me in!” And she responded with “ok follow me” as she grabbed his hand and dragged him past the door man. After a small argument with the box office the kid was in. Later he came out and told his friends she said she loves Buddyhead and that Wynona Rider bought him a shot of tequila. The word on the street is that Courtney played that new Nirvana song “On The Mountain” over the PA in between sets but no one noticed. So what have we learned here kids? Wanna get into shows for free? Buy a Buddyhead shirt and hang outside “hip” shows in Hollywood and wait for famous people to try and suck you off cuz they think you’re down with the clowns.

Oh yeah, Omar from The Mars Volta is hung like an elephant.

AFI is signing to a major label. Mall punk kids and pseudo Goths don’t know what to think quite yet.

We miss all the good shit when we’re out on tour. Two nights ago Duff, Izzy, Slash and Matt Sorum (who SO doesn’t count) all took the stage together at the Viper Room for some new Duff record thing. Axl gave em the “no bro”. Not that they asked. He was too busy wondering why no one noticed that the new Guns N’ Roses record was supposed to come out in June yet it’s now almost December and it’s still not out and it’s prolly never coming out.

Aside from taking on his new “greasy Jesus” look, Elliott Smith has been working on a new album that is currently titled “From the Basement On the Hill” and it’s set for a spring release. He’s the sole producer of his new album and there’s guest appearances by Steve Drozd of the Flaming Lips and Aaron Sperske of the Beachwood Farts. We’re giddy with anticipation.

The Strokes are buying the old Coney Island High club and turning it into a private rehearsal space. All it takes is a phone call to daddy for some people.

Fred Durst told us that he wants to find out what people who read Buddyhead think of his fat ass. Here’s his new email addreress. flawlessgroup@earthlink.net. We heard he likes large files sent to him (mp3’s of your little brothers band, shit porn mpeg’s, etc) seeing as how he’s still on dial up.

New Moby album out in May. No word yet on when he’s gonna come out of the closet.

Connor from that band, Bright Eyes is an extra in the upcoming movie Lord of the Rings. He plays an elf with very low self-esteem.

Thursday (Victory Records) recently hit the studio to record a single for an upcoming 7 inch split with some another band full of hardcore kids who think they are cutting edge cuz they stopped wearing bandana’s and basketball jersey’s.

Call up John Feldman of Goldfinger and ask him if he’s vegan, how’d he get so fat? (310) 821-9160.

The new singer for Dead Kennedy’s is none other than the B52’s Fred Schneider.

Remember that dude who was in Weezer for like five seconds but did about eight years worth of coke and banged as many models as he could fit into his day during his brief stint as the “not Matt Sharp guy”? Well we heard that he’s now “officially out of Weezer” (like we didn’t already know that, thanks guys) and is working with a new band called The Brakes. Anyone wanna bet that Mikey ain’t hittin’ 1/1000 of the gash that he was when Rivers was paying him to look like a geek?

The Faint still sound like Orgy.

Orgy still sucks.

Like we didn’t see this one coming… Maverick Records is going to fold into Warner Brothers in the coming weeks. Guess those amazing records like Tantric and video game soundtracks aren’t quite selling enough to keep paying all those old fat dudes with no taste in music to read Buddyhead all day.

The corner of East Second Street and the Bowery by CBGB’s in New York is going to be called Joey Ramone Place. Montville, New Jersey is deciding where Jeff Wood Way is going to be. We’ll keep you posted.

Speaking of Jeff Wood, check out the new Spin. Shat’s in the “Top 20 coolest things”. We just can’t figure out why Shat wasn’t number one.

Vagrant just signed another band to their emotaph roster, this time it’s LA’s own Spitefirevolver. Bomb choice guys.

In the last issue of Rolling Stone with Britney on the cover, on page 32 in an article about the band Oysterhead, they use the word “brah” several times. We should be getting checks for this shit.

Face to Face still thinks making a Face to Face live record was neccesary.

We would rather be stabbed to death with a rusty screwdriver than have to listen to River City High. Where do these bands come from?

Fred Durst said he’s planning on leaving the United States and moving to the U.K. Sounds good to us. Can we buy your ticket bro-ham? Durst said that he is “fed up with the attitude fellow Americans have towards him”, and that he’s “always getting judged and there is no loyalty in America. Everyone is so great in Europe and I am trying to find myself a house just outside London.” The tubster has also announced that he has “split up” with long-term girlfriend, Playboy model Jennifer Rovero, with whom he has a three-month old devil child. Translation: He’s not really gonna pretend that he actually likes this whore he knocked up on tour. But keep in mind, he means that in the nicest way possible now that he has “turned a new leaf”.

Oh and we heard that Fredrick is also still pretty bummed on that song (that his own label Interscope put out) on the D-12 album, where Eminem clowned his lard filled ass. So to get “revenge” he’s collaborating on a track that will diss Eminem with the help of Fred’s new signee, some rapper named DZK. Fred, slight problem… you can’t rap bro.

Wes Borland, you know the dude from Limp Bizkit who used to run around the stage like a guitar center Batman with his cordless guitar and cape on, has set Eat The Day as the name for his new group. They will be heading out on the road sometime in the spring with Saves The Day. Also in the band is his brother Scott on guitar, Greg Isabella on drums, and Kyle Weeks taking care of the sampling/Djing duties. Their album will be produced by Ross Robinson. Wow dude, sounds way different than Limp Bizkit. Totally.

Ross Robinson signs good bands. Not.

Jessica Hopper has a HUGE crush on The Captain and tried to get him to spend the night at her place while we were in Chicago, but The Captain passed.

http://www.exclaim.ca/common/display.php3?articleid=892

Dennis from Refused (and that new Make Up band) had a few words to say about Crazy Town covering his ex band’s song “New Noise”…. “If someone listened to ‘The Shape’ and really understood what we were thinking about they wouldn’t be in Crazy Town and they wouldn’t think the shape of punk to come was to add a DJ to a metal band. If they really loved Refused, they missed everything that was important about that band.”

Call up Mike Herrara, the lead singer guy in Mxpx at (360) 908-5668 and ask him if Jesus is down with the ATM.

In the new Adio skate video “One Step Beyond” Richie Belton skates to Guns N’ Roses “My Michelle”. Skateboarding still sucks.

Anyone know if Daniel Shimizu is alive still? The kid hasn’t been seen lately.

Call Scott from Reel Big Fish at (562) 856-7630 and ask him if he’s picking it up or what.

Buddyhead was mentioned in Chart Magazine (“Canada’s Music Magazine”) in the November Issue (the one with the Nardwuar the Human Serviette vs. Ian MacKaye of Fugazi interview) on the last page. There is some sort of monthly list of cool things and “shitty things”. Buddyhead was Number 13 on the list of cool things. Chart Magazine stated buddyhead.com was cool, “despite their overuse of the word ‘bro’ on the gossip section.” If we ever do a list of cool and shitty things, Chart won’t be on either… bro.

Sebastian Bach is Bach. The dude who just “wants people to start singing again” has formed a super group of “all-star musicians”. The band’s name is the Last Hard Men. It’s comprised of vocalist/guitarist Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), vocalist/bassist Kelley Deal (The Breeders), drummer Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins) and guitarist/bassist Jimmy Flemion (The Frogs). Album out soon or now or something.

Installment two of the Jade Tree Split series features those dudes who wear their basses really high (and don’t even kick our asses for saying it) Hot Water Music and the heavily intoxicated and loveable Alkaline Trio. The record features new material and covers of each others songs (Alkaline Trio does HWM’s “Rooftops” and HWM does Alkaline Trio’s “Radio” & “Bleeder”). Due out on January 22, 2002. Keep it in your pants bro’s and bro-ette’s.

Home Grown broke up. Damn.

The guy who played Carl Winslow on Family Matters came out of the closet a few weeks back. Didn’t see that one coming, we kinda had our bets on Erkel, but not Carl.

On Cornerstone’s Web site www.thetripwire.com, Scott Enright @ Interscope put us at number one on his tastemaker’s picks list. I guess that means we’re cool with the dudes over at Interscope now. Bomb guys, send over that new Limp Bizkit remix record, we need to review it.

Some band with funny hair from New York called Emily’s Bat Mitzvah, that everyone who’s lame thinks is as bomb as the Strokes have a song (“China Feet”) in the upcoming Vivid Video feature entitled “Wet Dreams May Cum”. Scoob porno. They’ve also been boozing around NYC pretty hard and fucking tons of models. Their singer guy, Joe Somar, was seen hanging off some model chick backstage at the Les Savy Fav show at the Bowery Ballroom. Thats what happens when stupid Hollywood people think your shitty band is good and you end up on the soundtrack to a WB show known as Felicity. Take notes kids, the road to success.

Dion Buckmen from Black Sheep Management, is in Save Ferris now? What the fuck brah?

Every day at soundcheck, Cave In solely performs material from their “Until Your Heart Stops” album. So if you are one of those kids who yell these songs at them at their shows, just show up early to see them kick out your jams.

Skin Yard just released a new cd of rarities and b-sides called “Start at the Top”. It’s limited to 1200 hand numbered copies, so you can figure out just about how popular these guys were.

Rama’s emo all-stars, Piebald, played Cleveland last week and some girl had Travis sign her pierced boob. Travis was quoted as saying “Emo gets tang bro”. We’re sure they’ll get even more emo tang when they go on tour with those dudes from Austin.

On Thursday October 18th, while the hordes of Hollywood’s “industry insiders” and trend chasing star fuckers were busy jerking themselves and everybody else off at the Strokes show in L.A., a new band that actually is exciting and important played their first show just down the freeway in Anaheim. The crowd for the first ever The Mars Volta show (the group is Omar and Cedric from At the Drive-In’s new rock band) didn’t include celebrities and the Hollywood elite. Winona Ryder was not in the house stumbling around and looking for a new boyfriend. The audience actually consisted mainly of a bunch of kids who were there to see the other bands, and had no idea they were witnessing The Mars Volta playing to an audience for the first time ever. The rest of the crowd was rounded out by a few others who had been tipped off about the “secret” show, in which the band member’s other band, Defacto, had been advertised to play. Buddyhead was in the house, and we can testify to the bomb-ness. Photos of that night will be up soon. So will a couple mp3s from their demo and a website (Buddyhead is working on it as you read this). Catch them on tour with that shitty wuss rock band right now.

Sparta, the group in which the other remaining members of At the Drive-In have started, has signed to Dreamworks. The group will likely be re-recording many of the songs off their demo that’s been floating around (three of the tracks you can find here), and deliver an album sometime next year. The dude who signed Papa Roach and Alien Ant Farm signed the group, so if we’re lucky they might all start bro-ing down with each other and set up some sort of summer tour package with all of them involved. Bomb.

Fred Durst has been trying to get the weirdo from Big Stupid Head, or whatever his other band is called, to sign a legal document agreeing he won’t talk about any personal related stuff involving his time in Limp Bizkit. Freddy doesn’t want the kids to know he was busy porking the guitar player’s girl. Why don’t you call Fred up at work (310.865.7671) and ask him if he’s still hittin’ that shit now that he’s “turning a new leaf”. Make sure to mention that Buddyhead sent you. He’ll give you the special treatment if he knows you’re with us.

If you live in L.A., your ass better be at the Troubadour on November 2nd. Not only will Cave In and The Icarus Line be playing one of their first shows on tour together, but Buddyhead’s very own THE REVOLUTION SMILE will also be rocking the house and representing. There haven’t been this many good bands playing the Troub in one night since… well, ever. So don’t fuck this up. Iann Robbinson recently gave the tour and Buddyhead props a few days ago on MTV2 news, even though none of us wear masks. Thanks brah.

The hot gossip on the emo streets (not that we hang out there… we have a friend who does) is that Brett Detar from the Juliana Theory is causing some headaches over at his former label, Tooth & Nail. It seems ol’ Brett convinced a girlfriend of one of the God-fearing Christian staff at the label, that his cock was one of those “Jesus Crackers” that you get at communion. Yeah, some dork’s girlfriend got lanced by the dude with the Bobby Brown headset. Emo dick up in her mouthpiece. BOOM. That’s what you dudes get for putting out records like you do. Hate to say we told ya so.

Speaking of the Juliana Theory, on October 23, they’ll be releasing another pile of shit for their 14-year-olds with emotional problems fanbase. It’ll be entitled… uh… fuck. Whatever. Who really gives a shit? It’s going to be fucking horrible, and the only person with an IQ above 4 who’s waiting for it is Aaron Icarus, and he’s just waiting for it so that he has something to blame his long overdue murdering spree that’s just waiting to happen on.

Those glam-queen new wave dorks (no, we’re not talking about The Faint, we’re talking about their major label counterparts), Orgy are going to be releasing a DVD in a few months. It will feature live footage, all of their music videos (including that New Order cover that they butchered and got big off of), and a step by step process of them putting on all their make up and wigs. Now The Faint just have to figure out what New Order song they are gonna get big off of. There’s a lot to choose from guys, don’t stress out.

Speaking of fashion rock, The Strokes new video is now all over MTV. In the video they are playing live on a retro TV set (who would have guessed?). They are all styled perfectly (as if they are preparing for their celebrity spot with the Harlem Globetrotters on Scooby Doo), the guitar player has his guitar so high we can’t believe he can still breath, and the singer looks down right bored (much like he looked during most of the movie BIG). The same girl who was born into filmmaking and made that shitty flick about Kirsten Dunst killing herself made their video. Which seems fitting cuz the Strokes were born into the fashion world, money, and child acting, which in turn landed them a record deal. Some things just work out.

Oasis guitarist/songwriter, Noel Gallagher, pulled the release of their new single and delayed the release of the album, because “Liam has been doing nothing for the last three-and-a-half months, but chasing girls and concentrating on his drinking habit.” Bomb, sounds like what happens at Buddyhead all year round. We should all probably party together. The question is, will we have a new issue out before Oasis puts a new record out?

Nothing to do this Wednesday night in Hollywood? Stop by the Beauty Bar from 10pm-2am, have a few drinks, and listen to Travis and Joe (from The Icarus Line) play some records. It’s gonna be bomb bro.

Now, this one is a little hard to swallow, so make sure you are sitting down. Tavis quit Reel Big Fish! We know, we know. SKA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! Tavis played trumpet in “The Fish” for the last eight years (not to mention performing with other bands like Green Day, and studio sessions with Weird Al Yankovic and the Bloodhound Gang). He quit following a bitchin’ gig in Green Bay, Wisconsin (where people still seem to like ska, go figure). Their official site says, “horse play on the tour bus led to a confrontation with another band member. Tavis has yet to decide whether or not he will quit the music industry entirely, and the rest of the band is not sure if he will be replaced as the decision came right in the middle of their current tour”. The part that leaves us with our mouths wide open is that Reel Big Fish just got signed to Jive Records!?! Did someone forget to give the dudes over at Jive the memo on no one giving a flying fuck about ska? Send Tavis an email at Tavis@reel-big-fish.com and tell him that Buddyhead says “NOT TO GIVE UP ON SKA BRO!”

The Buddyhead store has stuff you want to buy. Click here. Do it or lose it.

Carrot Top, you know the “comedian” that always invents shit cuz he couldn’t tell a joke to save his life and does those annoying as fuck 1-800-collect commercials, needs to die. Anyone that brings us the head of Carrot Top gets a free Buddyhead T-shirt and a double high five from Aaron Icarus.

Drowningman is looking for a bassist. Candidates should be able say yes to the following questions: Can you drink a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon in less than 30 minutes? Do you know the best places to find hookers in major cities? Can you suck a golf ball through a garden hose? Do you have funny sideburns like Simon? If you want in (and chances are if you are reading this you don’t have much of a life, so being in a band might be kinda bomb for you), email Simon at SimonBrody@aol.com. Hey Brody, we think Jeff Wood may be available, give him a ring (973) 879-5165

The best record of 2002 is supposedly in the works. On March 5 2002, D3 Entertainment will release “The Trials and Tribulations of Russell Jones”. Yes a NEW O.D.B. RECORD. The tracks were done when the Dirt Dog was on the run from the cops. We’re so positive that this is going to be amazing, our boners have started already. Adding to the already great news is word from Dirty’s lawyer that “if all goes well Mr. Jones (ODB) may be released by the time Trials and Tribulations hits shelves, possibly via a work-release
program or other options.” FREE ODB!

In other Wu Tang news, The new Wu album is supposed to be out on December 18th of this year, or so RZA said. Hey RZA, we don’t care when it comes out, just make sure this one doesn’t blow goats like the last one. Ok? Bomb.

In even more Wu Tang news, Ghostface Killa will have his new record, “Bulletproof Wallets”, out in stores on November 13. Hey Ghostface, this one better be a little more kick ass than that one you put out last year, Supreme Clientele or whatever, which was pretty boring besides that weird song about Mariah Carey’s Ex-husband.

AFI will be opening for Jane’s Addiction on October 26 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Moutainview, Ca. KROQ has also been playing their single “Days of the Phoenix” and they are all dolled up in the new AP. Aaron whacks it to that AP every night.

KROQ is also already “Chasing The Wild Goose” and playing the new Bad Religion song, “Sorrow”. The new album called “Process Of Belief” will be out in January on Epitaph. It prolly won’t be as good as “Into The Unknown”, but then again it prolly won’t have Keyboards on it either.

Scott Litt (Nirvana, REM, The Replacements) is gonna try and make the Get Up Kids sound like a real band. He’ll be producing their new album starting in January. In the meantime, Vagrant is putting out an album of “rare, out of print, and compilation tracks” called “Outlook Express”. All those fat girls and geeky dudes who have been waiting and waiting for the new GUK tracks will be somewhat satisfied on November 13th when that puppy hits stores. Sometime around next summer, Doghouse will re-master it, give it new artwork, and put it out as a new release.

The Deviates are back in the studio writing a new album of Pennywise covers. Hey dudes, do the bro song one, it’ll be bomb.

Snoop Dogg got busted in Ohio for having 200 grams of weed on his tour bus while being stopped on a speeding violation. About time. The only thing is, Tom A. says he’s gonna freak out and kill some pigs if Snoop goes to jail and a sequel to his new movie “Bones” is delayed.

Seeing as how the drummer left Saves the Day so he could learn and bang college girls, the other dudes in the band somehow tricked a guy from “Hey Mercedes” to fill in for him. Even with the dude from the not-braid band, their fan base remains 14 -year olds with mad zits.

The guitarist from Linkin Park freaked out like a 6-year-old girl and kicked a metal door breaking his foot. Unfortunately this hasn’t caused the band to miss any performances.

Speaking of old, GBH (you know, Great Big Haircuts) just signed to Go Kart Records. Yes, that GBH. They will have a new album out early next year. If the kids sitting on Hollywood Blvd had computers and could read this, we’re pretty sure they’d be real stoked.

Jane Magazine gets all their gossip from us. Busted! Put us in your magazine somewhere (that means either interview us or give us a monthly column on makeup or something) and we won’t tell Jeff Wood you stole from Buddyhead.

Spacemen 3 are gonna tour? Well, not really. Jason Pierce won’t be on this tour, he’ll be out kicking ass in his “new” band, Spiritualized (you might have heard of them). But seeing as how, Pete Kember, doesn’t have shit to do (he’s not in Spiritualized), he’s put a band together so he can rehash those old Spacemen tunes and cash in. Don’t get us wrong, we’re gonna take drugs and go to the show. The band is made up of Spacemen 3 bassist Will Carruthers, Rick Maymi (ex-BJM, Smallstone), and Cliff Magreta (Belle Isle, ex-Tyde, Smallstone, Warlocks, Lilys). It’ll be a one-time American tour, billed as Sonic Boom and Spectrum in a Tribute to Spacemen 3.

Ok, so we were wrong about those two new Misfits cd’s that are coming out on Oct 30th. They don’t have Danzig on them; therefore they will be un-bomb. It’ll prolly have the Hulkster singing or something. Totally un-bomb. The new Misfits can eat our dizzzicks. Like anybody gives a flying buttfuck about outtakes from the new Misfits.

Oh, and thank fucking god we were wrong about that Strung Out covering Radiohead’s “Ok Computer”. It’s actually an orchestral arrangement of the record. Which is still pretty wack and unnecessary, but at the same time, it’s a lot better than some old dudes in vans and “board-shorts” playing Radiohead songs on their hockey stick guitars. Those old dudes are apparently recording a new record for Fat Wreck Chords right now, which will be titled “American Paradox”. We’re just glad they kicked out that fat hippy they had playing bass. He was a bummer. Major bummer.

Ja Rule, you know the rapper who “sings” even though he can’t do it in tune, is going to be in a movie with Steven Seagal. They’ll be playing lovers in the year’s best “romance” movie. Ehhhhh mmmmk.

That band on Initial, the White Octave, is breaking up, and we doubt anyone gives a shit. Who the fuck is the White Octave again?

Speaking of Initial, how come we never got a promo copy of that Black Flag tribute comp they put out without a single band from L.A. on it? Andy, send it over brah!

Nofx is releasing a double cd of rarities. So if those 18 or so albums about skateboarding with the same fuckin drum beat just aren’t enough, run out and buy it bro!

Sean Ingram likes Nofx and Sum 41. He told us. Sean’s off the team.

Famous people give Blonde Redhead the stamp of approval, Ed Templeton and Giovanni Ribisi were in the (glass)house for their show this week. Must be the Gap commercial they did.

Fat Mike’s other label; Pink and Black just signed some new band called The Flipsides. We didn’t have the patience to download their mp3s, so we have no idea if they suck or just kinda suck, but the girl in the band looks pretty bomb. So hey, yeah maybe all the other Fat bands are filled with fat dudes who play the same song and drumbeat over and over, but this band is probably playing the same song and drumbeat over and over but with a hot chick in the band. BONUS! Click here.

Brett Scallions from that shitty “older brother with leather pants” band, Fuel, is drilling Rebecca Rankin from VH1. They like to hit the nose candy and talk about their TV appearances together. Ahh, what a meaningful relationship.

The new Le Tigre album is totally bomb.

Speaking of totally bomb, do yourself a favor and pick up the new Fugazi full length and 7″. Both are the best musical purchases you’ll make all year.

Speaking of un-bomb, that pseudo emo girl, Rachel (from The Real World) needs to get slapped around with some large, raw, sea animals.

Boom records (which is pretty close to Bomb records) is putting out another Stooges bootleg. Someone over there needs to send us all the Stooges shit you guys have put out. We need to hear it and we’re not gonna buy em. Yeah, Boom is putting out “Iggy & The Stooges – Wild Love”. It’s a jam session, where the Stooges mess around with songs by Bo Diddley, Bob Dylan, Cream, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, play the beginnings of songs that never went any further, like “Old King Live Forever”, “I Come From Nowhere” or “Wild Love”, and play some very impromptu jams such as “Move Ass Baby” and a James Williamson solo. Aaron has a rock hard boner. The tracklisting is:
1. Wild Love
2. Pin Point Eyes
3. Hey Baby
4. I Come From Nowhere
5. I’m So Glad
6. Ballad of Hollis Brown
7. Delta Blues Shuffle
8. Old King Live Forever
9. Look So Sweet
10. Mellow Down Easy
11. I’m a Man
12. Move Ass Baby
13. Til the End of the Night

Kid Rock has a new 14-song album coming out called Cocky. From the looks of the track listing below, it’ll prolly be about how he’s white trash, likes country music, nails strippers, and is rich. We’re hoping there’s gonna be another ballad where he uses the Cher voice (you know the same one that old dude with the funny hair in The Faint uses on like EVERY FUCKING SONG… change it up bro). Cept, only this time Kid sings about his dead midget. That would be bomb. No one has ever sung about their dead midget.
Tracklisting for “Cocky”:
“Forever”
“Trucker Anthem”
“Lay It on Me”
“Cocky”
“What I Learned Out on the Road”
“I’m Wrong, But You Ain’t Right”
“Baby Come Home”
“You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me”
“Picture” (featuring Sheryl Crow)
“I’m a Dog”
“Midnight Train to Memphis”
“Lonely Road of Faith”
“WCSR” (featuring Snoop Dogg)
“Drunk in the Morning”

The Pietasters didn’t get the memo about them not being Rocket from the Crypt.

Chad Ginsburg from CKY told us that his new favorite band is Pressure 4-5. He said he just can’t stop listening to the cd since his band played with them and that he hopes they get to tour with them and Alien Insect Barn or that kickass band Saliva!

Slash, Duff, and Izzy still aren’t back in Guns N’ Roses. Bummer.

Richard Reines (richard@drivethrurecords.com) “And you have no new gossip because why? A-holes.”

Oh hey sorry for the lack of updates Porky, we didn’t know you were waiting so eagerly for our words on the current events. We’re flattered, but don’t you have some prepubescent pop punk to listen to? Either way, no need to sit there and hit the refresh button any longer… here’s the new gossip tubster. By the way, if you or anyone else who takes themselves too seriously, is missing a sense of humor, and wants to threaten to sue us (like Drive Thru did)… contact our lawyer directly:
Bryan K. Christner, Attorney at Law,
1156 North Fuller Avenue, West Hollywood, CA 90046

In other Drive Thru Records related news: the label is trying to get out of their deal with MCA. They haven’t told MCA this as of yet. Apparently they aren’t being too smart about it, and telling all their friends about it. (you know their friends’ 13-year-old boys who think Blink 182 is the second coming of Jesus).

We need money for our new server, if you wanna send us money our address is po box 1268 | Hollywood, CA | 90078. Anyone who sends us cash is totally bomb. We’ll have a paypal donation thing up here in like two days. So then you can give us cash quick. It’ll be bomb.

Courtney Love gave some shout outs to Buddyhead on KROQ’s “Kevin & Bean” morning show. She also dissed Freddy D and his new band Puddle of Mudd. C-love blew the whistle on tubby’s new band, whom he refers to as his “fake Nirvana band”, by saying that Fred told her he signed them and then fired everyone except the singer and hired the rest of the band. Sounds like the fake part fits, but Nirvana? NO BRO! By the way, Courtney, we’re coming to that Jane’s Addiction show you’re playing, make sure we get all access passes so we can drink all your beer and eat all your food.

By the way, the new Nirvana book, “Heavier Than Heaven”, is super bomb. Check it out bro.

As result of the recent terrorist attack tragedies, the king of jock rock / date rape / slap and pop / adidas wearing / bald headed dudes with goatees / yo yo white boy yo / 7 string guitar / Ross Robinson produced rock, Mr. Fred Durst himself, has seemed to have a change of heart on his life outlook. Fatboy Freddy has sworn to be positive and forgive all former grudges. Looks like Buddyhead’s in the clear! Bomb! Sorry Fred, but the biggest tragedy of all is the way your band and the hordes of clones have systematically dumbed down kids everywhere by influencing and reinforcing the steakhead / machismo / dipshit mentality. If you’re so down for change, do the world a favor and go hide in a cave until intelligent, open minded, and talented music takes your place in the spotlight you’re so hesitant to give up. Oh, and suck our collective cock.

Speaking of Fred… we got a hold of his demo video from his 1989 debut “2 white” that appeared on VH1. It’s totally bomb bro… Fred has got skills like Vanilla Ice gots wack jumpsuits. Click here bro.

Buddyhead is prouder than proud to announce that we will be releasing the new EP from The Revolution Smile (which features the ever talented, not to mention good looking, Shawn Lopez from Far). We told Shawn he’ll get chicks if his record is out on Buddyhead and he bought it! The band is almost finished with the recording and it will be titled “We Are In This Alone”. We’re shooting for a January 2002 release date so try and keep it in your pants until then. In the meantime make sure to check em out live cuz it’s a show not to missed. We just saw them at the Troubadour on Friday and they blew all the other bands off the stage. It was bomb. Rev Smile Shows: October 11th @ The Roxy in Hollywood CA (830 PM) | October 13th @ Chain Reaction in Anaheim CA | October 20th @ Scratch 8 in Sacramento CA | October 27th @ The Portlight in Oakland CA (21+). Also, make sure to check out their website, where they have mp3s and the whole like. http://www.therevolutionsmile.com/

The Rapture and The Icarus Line are playing 2 shows together in SoCal this weekend. On Saturday the 6th they are playing in San Diego at the Casbah, and on the 7th they are playing at Koo’s in Santa Ana. The Icky Line will be debuting some new material as well as their brand new outfits: each member wears a jumpsuit and has a different mask and number. They’ve also added some dudes who just play levitating drums and run around beating each other up. They’ve been told this will land them a deal and make them big with the kids.

Speaking of masks, we attended the recent Slipknot/System of a Down show at the Forum… for educational purposes of course. First of all, Cave In was there, and they told us not to tell anyone, but you know us, we can’t fucking lie! They were there, so was their buddy Santos, and they all had corporate rock VIP passes and sought advice from members of Mudvayne backstage on which direction their new material should go. We also saw Rick Rubin, who was with some pretty bomb tang. I guess being fat doesn’t matter if you are down with Slayer and rich. System wasn’t bad; they weren’t great, but much better than we expected. Although we can’t figure out if their songs are ok or just plain annoying… circus music anyone? As for Slipknot… we’ve never felt more like we were at Wrestlemania. First of all, there was a drum solo. Yeah, a fuckin drum solo. So we sat through that, thinking it was pretty wack, then the fucking drum set flips upside down! So not only did we have to sit through a drum solo, but the dude playing drums in the mask was flipping upside down. It was ridiculous. From there it only got worse. There was a “moment of silence” for the people who died in New York. When kids in the audiences yelled during that time the singer would shout, “SHUT THE FUCK UP MOTHERFUCKERS”. Genius. Then the singer goes into this speech about how we need to be patriotic and come together, which was painful enough, but it really got lame when they played their song where the chorus is “666″ and a huge 666 sign lights up behind them (so the crowd knows what to sing) while the singer is draped in an American flag?!?! HEY BUDDY… “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” = NOT SATAN… PICK ONE DICKHEAD. YOU’RE EITHER A SATAN WORSHIPPER, OR A PATRIOTIC REDNECK. YOU CAN’T BE BOTH.

In other Pledge of Allegiance tour news, that band where the dudes dress up like extreme sports goths, Mudvayne… well they’re dropping off the tour cause the singer does a lot of coke, and some people aren’t into that or some shit.

In other Mudvayne news, the dude in the band with the big pants is “way into buddyhead”. Bomb bro. Send us some of the money you made dressing up like a fucking dork.

In the wake of The Murder City Devils breaking up, Derek will focus more on his other band Pretty Girls Make Graves, and the other members will continue on under a different, undecided name. As of right now it looks like Krist Noveselic is going to be filling Derek’s shoes as the bass player in the new Murder City band. Rumored names for the new band include Murder City Devils 75.

Radiohead are going to release a live EP, called ‘I might be wrong’, featuring eight tracks from their European summer tour. Their label, EMI, announced that the tracks were recorded in Oxford, Berlin, Oslo and Vaison La Romaine. It will include the previously unreleased song “True Love Waits,” which frontman Thom Yorke wrote during the recording sessions for OK Computer and often played solo during the tour. The European release is now set for November 12th, but seeing as how Radiohead could shit in a box and you’d buy it, the live album will be sold as a full-length CD, and not as an EP. Bling Bling bitch. Also in the future for the band is a 2002 DVD release. Shwing!
Here’s the tracklisting:
01 the national anthem
02 i might be wrong
03 morning bell
04 like spinning plates
05 idioteque
06 everything in its right place
07 dollars and cents
08 true love waits

The Dillinger Escape Plan is playing their first show with a new singer on Thursday October 11th in New York City at the Downtime during CMJ week. As for the identity of this new vocalist, word is that it’s either Ronnie James Dio or the singer from Gayrilla Biscuits. Should be bomb.

MTV is still searching for that expert on Middle Eastern territories and international policies that’s young and “hip” looking. This could be your big break!

Bluebird recorded a few songs with Pleasure Forever this week. They all got drunk, worshiped Satan, and talked about scoob rock.

Cold left the Weezer tour due to all of Weezer’s geeky fans booing them and even throwing things at them while they played every night. Their label said that the real reason Cold left the tour was that they were exhausted and that “They’ve been on the road non-stop for over a year and they wanted to take some time off and regroup before their upcoming headline dates.” Sure bro. Weezer is now picking up that shitty silverlake band, The Start, which is that band with the guitar player who thinks he’s in The Icarus Line.

We also heard that Pat from Weezer likes Buddyhead now. Way to jump on the bandwagon Patty. That and… Brian Bell eats at Real Food with scoob girls. They also have a new video where they play with animals and shit, it’s pretty boring.

Timbaland and Dr. Dre are making a record. They say the songs will most likely be about weed and ho’s. It’s a real departure for the two.

Mobb Deep are totally bomb and they have a new album called Infamy coming out December 4 on Loud.

Bryan Newman, the drummer of Saves the Day, quit the band last week to pursue a career in photography and to continue schooling at New York University. We were hoping that the rest of the band would go back to school as well, but Andrew Black (ex drummer for the Explosion/Good Charlotte) emailed us to inform us that he will be taking Bryan’s spot in Saves the Day. Andrew, if we see you wearing creepers in photo shoots your ass is grass buddy.

Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach has teamed up with ex-Anthrax guitarist Paul Crook to record a version of “Amazing Grace” (yep, that one). Wanna hear it? Click here. The recording was made in reflection of the current situation in America following the terrorist attacks on September 11. Sebastian opted to record the cover after his management team told him that re-recording “Youth Gone Wild” under the new title “Middle Easterners Gone Wild” would be inappropriate. Did you know we’re down with Mr. Bach? If not… read here.

We wanna go to Bob Dylan when he plays LA. Someone get us in. We’ll let you hang out with us… for a second.

Burning Airlines aren’t changing their name, but magazines with interviews with them and ads for their records are listing them as B. Airlines.

Supposedly Morrissey is sexually involved with this 6 foot 5 black dancer guy. Suckin dicks and all that shit… pretty bomb… we thought he wasn’t into ass at all. Guess we were wrong. In other Morrissey news, if you like Morrissey you’re a big fucking geek.

The word on the street is that Buckethead got canned and that Izzy is talking with Axl again about returning to the band!!! Axl, make it happen bro!

The new Fugazi album “the Arugment comes out Oct. 15 in the U.S. and Oct. 8 everywhere else, those lucky bastards. Plus a single “Furniture” on cd and clear 7″ which has material they couldn’t put on the LP cause there wasn’t enough room. BOMB.

Wanna see Travis fall down a bunch of stairs trying to slide a handrail on his skateboard? Click here.

Tara Reid gave us her number at the nintendo/mtv party we went to last night on Hollywood and Vine. She told us she has a thing for fat bald guys in adidas jumpsuits and that she’s totally on Fred Durst’s nuts. Give Tara a call at (323) 876-8907 and tell her even though she’s pretty wack, we’re betting she can do better than a fat guy like Fred.

The Dillinger 4 and Lawrence Arms both signed to Fat Wreck Chords. Fat Mike was thinking they needed a few more pop punk bands… good thinking Fat.

There is a rumor floating around that Jello may tour with the Dead Kennedys one more time. We would probably give a flying fuck if we were still 16. It still couldn’t possibly be more pathetic than what the band is doing live now, with some random guy up there singing. Old punkers suck.

Ben Affleck was stopped by sheriff’s deputies after he was clocked driving 114 mph on a Georgia interstate, the actor’s publicist said Monday. Ben is a hack. We don’t like him, unless he wants to give us a lot of money, then he’s pretty bomb.

Napster is pretty hooked up. Fuckin a. Their sugar daddy (who is Bertelsmann) has spent over $100 million to keep the graveyard of a file-sharing software service “alive”. Napster’s recent settlement with music publishers will end up costing them $36 million. Guess who is gonna pick up the tab? Yep, you’re right… Bertelsmann. Just last year alone, he cut a check for $60 million, which was a “loan” for Napster. This year he cut a second “loan” in the “$7 million to $12 million range. Where the fuck is our sugar daddy? Fuck… all we need is someone to pay our server bill…

AFI have a fashion spread in the new alternative press. Aaron popped a boner over it. Travis is patiently waiting to see what he should pattern his new look after.

Hatebreed is going on tour with Slayer starting the very end of October. Btw, the new Slayer album hasn’t left Travis’s car stereo for the last two weeks… but then again, neither has that Boy George cd, so make your own conclusion.

Planes Mistaken for Stars will be out on the road with Converge in December. Gared from PMFS sent us an email saying that they would be in LA for a few days and that “you guys are always talking shit about getting toasted and cruising strip clubs, here’s your chance to step up to the plate with PLANES!” We’re ready to play ball. Speaking of ball, right now they are traveling around Europe telling people how they have sucked on each other’s balls before. Don’t believe us?… read this (make sure to listen to the mp3 of the conversation too).

Bjork has been getting harassed by the FBI a lot lately. She lives on the same block that they have offices on in NYC that they’re using in light of recent events there, and it’s totally regimented. You need to show I.D. to even walk down the street. The last time they stopped her she just started yelling, “I fucking live here! I do this every time for you!”

Michael Jackson has a new video for his new single “Cowabunga, dude”. He looks real scary in it. Aaron is just glad that there’s none of that morphing shit in it.

J-Lo got married to some dancer fruitcake. We’re still watching the porn of her and Puffy.

The Mars Volta had to cancel their European tour with The Locust because they gave their drummer the boot. They are going on tour with those geeks from the midwest: The Anniversary. Um… wack.

Omar from At The Drive-In/Mars Volta is being pursued by Calvin Klein to be one of their new underwear models. Omar declined due to the impending embarrassment of his crotch afro being discovered.

Elastica broke up on Tuesday. Like… bummer bro.

Alkaline Trio and Hot Water Music are doing a split e.p. on Jade Tree. It’ll be out January 22, 2002 and will be the second release in the Jade Tree spilt series, the first one being the NOFX/Kill Your Idols Split.

The Gorillaz recorded a track in the UK on 09.12.01 with D12, while they were stuck in the UK unable to fly home. Look for it soon. Also, their new video ‘Rock The House’ is up in the Cinema section on gorillaz.com. Del is on this one too…

Members of Goldfinger, Mest, and Good Charlotte got together and recorded a song called “The Innocent” about the World Trade Center Tragedy. Ehhhhhhh… Mmmk. You can check out the song here.

Once again there are rumors floating around about a new Descendents album in the works. Apparently this time it’s more or less confirmed… the All website has the announcement on their main page. Sexual Ryan is now jacking off to this thought.

Give James from River City High a call. (804) 370-9620 Tell him that cowboy hats are for cowboys.

At Wayne Isham’s (he’s a music video director with a ponytail) VMA post post-party, Puffy showed up in a bathrobe with his manservants, Carson Daly, Fred Durst, and Chester from Linkin Park. They all sucked dongs and then left except for Chester and the Linkin Park guitar tech who stayed around and drank while hitting on Sarah Ultragrrrl and her friend Vicki.

Eagle Eye Cherry got pissed at the Sigur Ros show in NYC when a bouncer made a lot of noise at the door trying to kick some kid out who smoked pot. Eagle Eye Cherry is suckin dicks.

CMJ is rescheduled for October 10th or something. Nobody is going.

These are from The Icarus Line tour when we were in Chicago. The Captain and a poster… yikes.

Onelinedrawing are playing a house in San Diego, Thursday, October 4th. The address is 1526 elevation road. It starts at 8, and in Jonah fashion, the show costs from 5-10 dollars, depending on how much you can afford. Jonah will be there talking about himself.

That shitty Sacramento band, Simon Says, recently had to drop off of the Primer55 tour due to the fine people at Hollywood Records finally pulling the tour support out from under their stuck up asses. We hear the band now plans on breaking up and reforming under a different name so to escape recouping the 2-million dollar debt they accumulated over at the Disney-owned label. We suggested their new name be: Shitskillet.

Nardwuar the Human Serviette is bomb.

Monica (that girl with the rad boobs that rocks the guitar in that Jagoffs band) got fired from one of her jobs recently. If anybody wants to be her sugar daddy, email her at jagoffs@aol.com if you wanna hook her up.

Tool is playing Irvine on November first at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre. We’re not going. Fuck.

Walter from Rival Schools/Quicksand is playing drums in a band called Pearl Harbor whenever Rival Schools takes time off. They’ll be playing some shows in NYC in October. We’re not sure if they are bomb or not, but we’d go see em if Walter will sing us Project X songs again.

Speaking of Straight Edge Revenge… Rival Schools have been shooting tons of video on their tour, some of which will end up on the Buddyhead Dvd coming out next year. They posted some of them, plus their new music video which is pretty wack.
Tour Footage: (high quality)(medium quality)(low quality)

We were wondering why Nate Cavalieri was too busy for Buddyhead, he’s famous now! Click here.

K.D. Lang has a “greatest hits” record coming out next month. Girls who lift weights and do chew are excited about that one.

Rush are back in the studio, recording a new album. Dudes who play lots of D&D are stoked. Shelby? Cave In is obviously really excited too.

Tracii Guns is telling everyone that Axl asked him to join the new Guns N’ Roses, but that “He couldn’t afford me!” Sure bro… we believe you.

Disturbed and POD both canceled their plans for UK dates. Dammit. No fats guys with dreadlocks for you cunts.

Wow, couldn’t have seen this one coming…. The Insane Clown Posse got dropped from Island Def Jam. Hey Drive Thru, you guys like signing clowns, these guys would fit perfectly on your roster!

Nolan from Paris Texas got kicked out of Fenix Tx already after making one too many jokes about Linkin Park. We would have gotten kicked out too Nolan… don’t worry bro.

We just realized that the singer of Nickelback not only looks a lot like our lord and savior Jesus Christ but he’s also a dead ringer for the eldest brother in Hanson, cept with facial hair.

The Strokes succumbed to the major label dong this week and pulled the song “New York City Cops” from their record. It features the chorus “New York City cops, New York City cops, New York City cops, They ain’t too smart.” They are replacing it with the song, “When It Started” and the album, originally scheduled for Sept. 25, has been pushed back to Oct. 9. It’s not that long of a wait Gideon…

Green Day played a surprise set at the Adeline Records showcase at 924 Gilman St. last Sunday, breaking the “no major label bands” policy at Gilman. People who haven’t showered in years and take Crass seriously are pissed.

The ODB greatest hits album doesn’t come out on 9/25 – its out now!!! It came out on Tuesday (9/18). Go pick the shit up – short but entertaining liner notes, a couple bomb pictures and spliced in soundbites of the man himself before/after the songs. Go pick the shit up – support the cause!

Carl Crack, of Atari Teenage Riot, died on September 6th. He was a mere 30 years old. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. Carl had been working on solo material to follow up his Black Ark release as well as performing with a variety of other artists. Alec Empire said; “I played in a band with Carl for ten years. We’ve been through a lot together in all those times. He was my friend. We didn’t have much contact with each other since the last bout of heavy touring with ATR ended in March 2000. There was too much between all the members of the band and we all needed space to recover. Carl and I decided to write each other because it was nearly impossible to talk. He wrote to me that things were going better for him, he was playing music in different projects. And that he wanted to start a long-term therapy. He had suffered since a teenager from psychotic attacks, which I watched getting worse each year. I hoped that he would be able to work things out. His letters sounded positive and optimistic. His sudden death has hit me very hard and it is not easy for me to find the right words. A lot of little events and situations keep coming into my mind. When I think of Carl I don’t think only of the great stage presence and charisma he had, especially on the tours for our album “The Future Of War,” I also remember him dancing to soul music at parties, laughing and singing Curtis Mayfield songs. He brought a tension into the band that is very rare and special these days. I am very proud of him, and of what he has achieved as an artist. People like us can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for him to deal with those attacks, to record and perform, and on top of that to take care of his personal life and relationships. He was not only a vocalist with a very unique style, he also recorded one of the deepest instrumental albums I know: “The Black Ark E.P.” It was his decision. I just wish we had talked in person one more time, even though we cleared things in the letters. I will miss him. Carl, we’ll never forget you.”

Bruce from the band Vega4 looks like Gaz from Supergrass. He’s prolly getting mad tang cuz of that.
Gaz|Bruce (far right)

DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist are playing together again. They are doing two shows on October 19th & 20th at the Knitting Factory in LA.

Ozzy’s gonna name his new tour OzzBless America and the logo’s gonna be an american flag with his face where the stars go. Mmmmmmk.

Johnny Knoxville is getting divorced. He figured he better start banging gash before people realize he isn’t famous anymore.

The Queers have a new record, which is called “Live in West Hollywood”, and as you can guess it’s just that, 31 live songs, recorded at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. The liner notes are worth the price of the record alone. Joe says “These homos on the Warped Tour singing about ’selling out’ don’t really do too much for me. (Their message is ‘fuck the system’, but they are the system.) You’d never see Black Flag or Flipper on the Warped Tour – They were a lot of things but they weren’t fucking whores”. Hey Joe, wanna write for Buddyhead? Click here.

Dinosaur Jr. have a new record coming out called “Ear Bleeding Country”. It’ll be a greatest hits collection. Think that song they did with Del Tha Funky Homosapien for the Judgement Night soundtrack will be on there? Let’s hope not.

The Explosion sent us over this clipping of Sum 41 that they found in the Boston Globe. If you look real hard, the guy on the far left is wearing an Explosion shirt. The response from the Explosion was “fuck!!!!!”

Rachel from Friends is prego. We didn’t do it.

Epic Records is now in league with Satan: The Juliana Theory have signed on the dotted line to Epic. Yikes.

Joey McIntyre of the New Kids on The Block, here’s his cell number: (617)-803-5575 He likes when strangers call drunk at 3 A.M. It’s a “wicked piss-ah” brah.

James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins is a big Shat fan. He’s way into “Cunt Flavored Lollipops”. Someone tell that dude that even though Smashing Pumpkins broke up, and 21 Jump Street got cancelled, now that he’s discovered Shat, life will get better.

Lou Pearlman is thinking of buying the punk record label Hand Held Heart. (could it be the Blood Brothers connection/hype?)

This band called Fairview were out in Philly on tour and they ran into none other than DMX on the street. DMX let them take photos with him even though they are skinny white crackas. The Revolution Smile will be opening for Fairview (i.e. blowing them off the stage) at Chain Reaction on November 3rd. DMX won’t be there, but come check out Revolution Smile anyhow.

New Dj Assault flash video. Click here.

There’s a bunch of dudes in shitty bands that are bummed that Buddyhead doesn’t like their band. STOP SUCKING DICKS, or send us money.

Maynard, never being one to disappoint Buddyhead, expressed his thoughts on the tubby red capped one recently in an interview. When asked what he thought about Fred Durst being such a fan of Tool, Maynard replied with: “if the lunch-lady in high school hits on you, you appreciate the compliment, but you’re not really gonna start dating the lunch-lady, are ya?”

Gabe from Midtown laid pipe in that emo chick who’s on the real world. Check it out click here. If you want Gabe to lay pipe in you, email us, he’s in la now, we can hook it up bro.

Wow, has this been a tough week… Add this to the list of bad things that has happened lately. One of our favorite bands and good buddies, The Murder City Devils, have broken up. They are gonna do one last tour first. Check their slick looking website that some totally awesome dudes made for tour dates. The band released this statement:
“hey everybody, I am very sorry to say that a lot of the rumors going around
right now are true. Leslie has left the band, moving out of seattle this past
weekend. This has left the band in a sort of limbo, and the reason that we
have not said anything, is that we were not really sure what was going to
happen. We wanted to make sure we knew what was going on before we said
anything. We have decided that it would be best if The Murder City Devils, as
they currently exist no longer continued. Derek is going to concentrate on
Pretty Girls Make Graves. The rest of us, will continue together, the details
however have not been figured out. This October tour will be completed with
our friend, old merch guy, and drummer of Pretty Girls Make Graves, Nick
DeWitt filling in for Leslie. We hope you understand that we were not trying
to fuck with anybody or keep anybody in the dark, but this has been all we
have known for the last 5 years and trying to figure out what was going on
takes a while.”
-Gabe (derek, coady, spencer, nate, dann)

Buddyhead and Fred Durst’s hat are in the new Kerrang magazine. Check it out bro, click here. We’re also in the new Revolver Magazine, click here for that.

An odd and roundabout Buddyhead mention shows up at the end of the article on Sum 41 in the newest issue of Rolling Stone (which has “The Knot” on the cover brah), click here. Jocz talks about how a “certain website” gave out his number which people started to prank call him and now he prank calls those people back to pass the time. Also in that article he talks about how Sum 41 wants to be more like Motley Crue and start going to strip clubs, doing drugs, and basically not being pussies. We here at Buddyhead, being the sweet and caring people that we always are, are willing to lead Sum 41 down that dark path. Next time your goofy mall punk band plays LA (you guys play the Palladium on 11/23/01) we’ll take you out and show you where Motley Crue used to hang out… you’re paying though cuz you fucks are rich now. Call Jocz of Sum 41 and tell him to get back to you (416) 709-0367.

In other Canuck pop punk news, Sum 41 used to have an e-mail team called the bomb squad, but they are changing it. Good plan guys.

Apparently Burning Airlines are also contemplating changing their name. Weird.

Word on the street is the dudes from Piebald were giving out blowjobs, (where’s Jeremy?) at some makeoutclub.com party in Boston. Wow, these nerds get together and have internet parties, that’s disturbing. We imagine it looking like a Junior High Prom for retarded kids and androgynous young girl-boys. Philly scene guy, Sean Agnew was also spotted at this thing with a 16 year old drunk girl. Someone heard him repeating “She wants to bang” and “She’s fucking ready”. We’re just glad Jeff Wood wasn’t there.

Fat people suck.

Due to the recent events that unfolded this last week in New York and D.C., MTV is now trying to find an expert in middle eastern territories and international policies that’s young and “hip” looking. Weak.

Since the recent attacks, several radio stations including Clearwater music (which is the massive radio conglomerate which owns 1100 stations across the country), have stopped playing songs “relating to explosions, terrorism, airplanes, skyscrapers, New York, the Middle East and even the day Tuesday comprise the list”. The retarded thing about this is out of all the songs banned, the only artists to have a universal ban imposed on them, was Rage Against the Machine. The songs banned include: Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff”, P.O.D.’s “Boom”, System of a Down’s “Chop Suey!”, Slipknot’s “Left Behind” and “Wait and Bleed”, Mudvayne’s “Death Blooms”, Fuel’s “Bad Day”, Bush’s “Speed Kills”, Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”, Saliva’s “Click Click Boom”, and 311’s “Down”. Sounds like it’s gonna be a little tougher now for the dickheads at labels to push all these hate-rock rap/metal bands on us now.

Station announcers have also stopped mentioning the title of Jimmy Eat World’s “Bleed American” when they play it.

When asked about the “Let The Bodies Hit The Floor” song being banned from radio, Steve Karas (who happens to be the vice president of publicity for Wind-Up Records – yeah this is the guy who told Boy Sets Fire to Change their name to Boy Hits Car) said “‘Bodies’ was never about violence. It was rather a call for togetherness. As a New York-based company we are very sensitive, as we have all been affected by the tragedy. But that doesn’t change the simple fact that from the beginning this song was always about the simple call for kids to mosh.” Sure Steve, wipe the sweat off your brow bro. By the way, “the simple call for kids to mosh” is the funniest quote of the decade.

Speaking of banning shit… some people are even dumber than whoever made the call on banning all Rage songs. 99.7 the Blitz (wbzx, Columbus, Oh) dj Ronnie Hunter has announced she will not play Tool because of comments made by Maynard at the Columbus show on sept 14 regarding the terrorist attacks. He talked about choosing love and compassion over fear, and when people started chanting USA USA USA he said “For all those chanting USA, we just got our asses kicked, you might want to think about what you are saying.” Ronnie said that what Maynard said was an attack on freedom and that she would not support a band who did not support the U.S. government. Then the bitch turns around and plays that “let the bodies hit the floor” band. Send Ronnie an email or give her a call at the studio and explain to her what exactly FREEDOM OF SPEECH MEANS and don’t forget to tell her what a dumbfuck she is. She can be reached at RHunter@wbzx.com or 614-821-9970 or 1-800-821-9970 between 3pm and 7pm daily..

We saw Cave-In play last night and their new shit is bomb. They will be in LA for a month writing songs for their new album on RCA which they will be recording early next year. During that month here, we will be taking them to strip clubs, persuading them to throw their tv out of their hotel window, and blowing all the money they got for selling out the scene. It’s gonna be bomb bro.

Our good buddy Daniell Shimizu is a pro skateboarder now. He better give us a Daniel Shimizu pro model or we’re gonna kick his spock ass.

Due to the superior acting ability showcased in the intro of their latest video (“Dude! Seriously Bro…”), Puddle of Mudd (notice the spelling… two d’s bro) have been promised starring roles in Star Wars Episode 2 along with the girl in the truck who apparently likes to “smack ass” while pushing guts..

The Austin band Recover has canceled their tour due to their lead singer, Dan, getting his jaw knocked the fuck out by some fat guy at a Madison Wisconsin show. Supposedly, the band were just out on the street when some drunk frat guys started fucking with them. They walked away but one of fat fratty’s sucker punched Dan and ran off. Dan’s jaw was broken in 2 places and will be wired shut for 6 weeks. Aaron at FBR told us that now all he eats is watered down cream of wheat through a straw. We hope Dan gets better soon.

The Vue won’t be playing St. Louis again anytime soon. They stated this after a fight broke out between them and some kids trying to steal their equipment at their recent show there last week. We don’t know the details of the fight, all we know is someone was using a skateboard for protection and someone ended up having to get stitches. We hope everyone is ok.

Speaking of fights, Nickelback really need to get their asses kicked.

Speaking of asses, Richard from Drive Thru Records dresses like a 13 year old skateboarder. HEY BUDDY… YER LIKE 40!

That new girl Lennon is rack-tastic. Iann, hook us up bro.

Jessie Turner just inked a deal to star in the new Robin Williams movie “House Call”. He’ll also be in the next P.O.D. video. P.O.D. is down with Jessie T.

Courtney Love is looking for new people to play in her project “Bastard”. It seems that no one wants to play with C Lo, we wonder why? Jeff Wood is down.

People always rip us off, we’re aware of that, but this is just too much. 7-11 is now selling a burrito called “The BOMB burrito”. Wonder where they got that name from… Don’t believe us? Click here.

Tori Amos has a new album coming out next week. On the album she covers The Beatles, Slayer, Tom Waits, and Eminem. How many moms cover Slayer songs? Not many. The title of the new album (Strange Little Girls) kinda gives us a boner.

If Janes Addiction ever tries to record that “Jane Says” song again, we’re gonna take action.

Tomahawk, the band featuring: Mike Patton (Faith No More/Fantomas/Mr Bungle), Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard), Kevin Rutmanis (Melvins), and John Stanier (Helmet), will begin their North American tour in Southern California on November 2nd and will continue touring until December 5th. Their debut album is due out on Halloween too. It’ll be better than any of the lame shit you like, so go buy it dork.

Michael Jackson’s new record is coming out soon. Hopefully he won’t have that morphing shit in his video again. It freaks the shit out of Aaron Icarus when that girl turns into that Hawaiian guy with the huge head.

AFI’s new album comes out this spring. Aaron Icarus can hardly wait. Travis has wood.

In other AFI news, it’s rumored that their next tour will be their last tour.. Aaron Icarus’s big boner over hearing new songs sung by his “Goth crush”, Davey Havok, has been destroyed by this news.

Email Peter Toh of The Stryder Bloodteam@aol.com and tell him Rama banged that girl on the back of his record.

Fueled By Ramen have put the FBR / No Idea sampler they sold on the warped tour on their webstore at www.fueledbyramen.com/store.html. All profits are going to a charity to help with the situation in New York City. The sampler will be $4 shipped in the USA. Click here.

Wanna know how to be emo? Click here. They say you gotta read Buddyhead if you are a boy and wanna be emo. We don’t get it.

On Saturday, October 27th, 2001, at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, there will be a show called Breathe. All the Proceeds from Breathe will be donated to breast cancer charities. Bands playing will be Deftones, Pete Yorn, Jurassic 5, Third Eye Blind, Nikka Costa, Run DMC, Seal, Liz Phair, Sugar Ray, Julia Fordham, Dave Navarro, and …. Crazy town. We couldn’t figure out why Crazy town would be on a benefit for breast cancer, but then we realized that they probably like tits a whole lot. They are still trying to get U2, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Blondie, and others to play. Tickets will range from $40 to $1,500. Standard tickets will be available to the public through Ticketmaster. And a VIP after-party for performers, celebrities and sponsors will be held at a private estate immediately following the concert. Don’t think we won’t be there stickin our dick in the mashed potatoes.

Henry Rollins recently built a gym in his LA home. Hank named it the “The Battle Cage”. Try making a joke out of this, and Hank will rip off your arms and eat them.

The bald guy in Weezer is telling people not to read Buddyhead… don’t listen to him kids. Buddyhead speaks the truth.

planning on shows in November in socal which i will clarify asap.
thespecialgoodness.com

second, we appreciate and share everyone’s concern for mikey. i believe these
things have a way of working themselves out.

third, i’ve noticed an insane amount of misinformation regarding all things
=w=! 250,000 to have cold open for us!? i wish! stop reading buddyhead unless
you want to believe people who don’t know what their talking about. as with
most things it’s 95% bs.

it’s going to be a strange and wonderful year for you byotches as =w= has
enough good stuff for 2 full cd’s.”

The new REM video, The one about Reno and being a star, is pretty bomb.

Steve-o, from the MTV show Grabass, got a tattoo that says “I have a small weiner [sic].” tattooed on him. The tattoo tells us more about Steve’s brain power than it does his wiener. Steve also got kicked out of ASR in San Diego last weekend for whipping out his cock all over the place. Cock on the mind.

Polly Jean Harvey is playing LA this week. BOMB. I wonder if we’ll see Vincent Gallo there. He’s hitting that tang in case you didn’t know. He’s bomb too.

Speaking of Vincent Gallo… his new record entitled “When”, is coming out on Warp records on sept 24. Someone from Warp better send us a copy.

Linkin Park have a remix recording coming out. Dj’s such as Dj Z-Trip, Crystal Method, and Kool Keith’s own Kut Masta Kurt will be on it. Say it ain’t so Kurt! Linkin Park is still very un-bomb.

Speaking of saying it ain’t so… The Family Values tour is happening again this year. On the tour this year will be: Uncle Fester’s band Staind, Linkin Park, the official Slim Jim band Static-X, and Stone Temple Pilots. Why STP is on this tour we don’t know.

Dennis, the singer of Story So Far, is leaving the band since he doesn’t get along with their drummer Mike Ech. A few kids who own the entire Against All Authority discography are pretty bummed.

There was a riot at a System of a Down show last week in LA. Kids went crazy, the pigs showed up in riot gear and started handing out beat downs. During the riot most of “System’s” equipment destroyed. Aaron Icarus is hoping they get new gear soon cuz he wants to mosh to that “you wanted to” song when they play LA with “The Knot”.

The new Ben Folds video, “Rockin the Suburbs” is pretty bomb. It takes the piss out of Fred Durst, Korn, and Eminem. Watch it here.

Anyone wanna give us some tickets to see Bob Dylan at the Staples center on 10/19/01?? We wanna talk shit and smoke pot with Bob.

Those euro weirdos, Jr Ewing, redid their site. Click here to see what Buddyhead layout they ripped off this time. make sure to buy their records, they fucking smoke bro.

Did you hear that rumor about Whitney Houston dying? Well, Whitney Houston didn’t die from a crack overdose, she’s still alive and doing FAT lines all day with Bobby B.

The Dillinger Escape Plan are going to appear on the Ultimate Fighting Championship video game. One of their songs is used as an entrance theme or something, plus if you beat the game you get the code to unlock “the Mangina” character.

The CMJ Music Marathon has been rescheduled for Oct. 10-13 at the Hilton New York. We’ll be there will bells on. Travis like always will be there with balls on (his chin).

Ja Rule just finished recording a track with Metallica. Hetfield is pissed. Someone get him a beer.

ODB’s Greatest Hits comes out next week (9.25.01)!!! Can you not fucking wait?!?!

Pressure 4-5 are gonna pay.

That new band Lifer, have a new single called “Boring”. Yes, you guys are boring. Good call.

Yoko Ono is rearing her ugly mug yet again. Her first album in five years, called Blueprint for a Sunrise, is coming out on Capitol on 10/9. Also on the album will be SURPRISE… her son, Sean Lennon (who happens to be hitting Bijou Phillips coke-saturated gash – score Sean). Yoko co-produced the album (which means it’s at least gonna co-suck) with Rob Stevens. An extra bonus album called “Rising Mixes”, featuring remixes by Beastie Boys, Tricky, Thurston Moore and a few others, will be released shortly after.

Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Isaac Hayes and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are among the new batch of nominees set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Bomb. Let em all in brother.

Nolan from Paris Texas, got kicked out of Fenix Tx after he started making fun of Linkin Park. SHUT UP!!!

Tara Reid (of American Pie / and suckin Carson Daly’s schlong fame) and Heath Ledger (of The Patriot / guy with foreign accent fame) were spotted together in Paris and later seen checking into the same hotel room in Paris. Carson is gonna be pissed!

Jim, Paul, and Tony from At The Drive-In have a new band called Sparta. They will be heading out on their first tour the first week of October. Tour dates and mp3’s are on their website http://spartamusic.com. Omar and Cedric from At The Drive-In also have a new band called The Mars Volta.

Boilermaker is back together (I guess they’ve been gone for 2 years… no, we didn’t notice either). Their new album, “leucadia” will be out on opie’s label “better looking records” and will hit stores on sept. 18th.

DMX is bomb. Hey DMX, let’s hang out… We right here.

Patricia Arquette and Nick Cage broke up because Nick had an affair with Penelope Cruz on the set of that cheesy mandolin movie.

Email Randy Lane (who is the sound guy for that shitty leather pants guy band “Fuel”) at volumelane@aol.com and tell him you understand how hard his job is… No matter how good Randy does his job, Fuel is still gonna sound like total ass.

Rural Georgian rapper Bubba Sparxx is apparently going do be doing guest vocals on the next album that the Let the Bodies Hit the Floor band does. The collaboration will be entitled Let The Bodies Hit The Floor (dubble chub remix).

The Icarus Line are playing 2 shows this weekend that will keep their broke asses broke… cos they aren’t being paid for either one. The first show is a free instore on Saturday in Orange County brah. The store is located at 16535 Brookhurst Street in Fountain Valley. Call (714) 775-4675 for more info. The second show on Sunday is in Silverlake at Spaceland, and is a benefit for the victims of that debacle from last week. The show will be all day long and include many special guests. Go check it out, it’s for a good cause.

The Rapture have a 12″ coming out. It was produced by James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy aka the DFA (UNKLE, David Holmes, BS2000, Zero Zero) and was
recently named Album of the Month by Vice Magazine, which is strange because it is not even an album. They are also going on tour. They kick ass, go see

Richie Birkenhead from Into Another/Underdog is blowing it so fucking hard. First he marries some girl that is a “billionaire”. That’s right BILLIONAIRE… score right? Well, wrong. Word is that Richie is in California right now trying to get his marriage annulled so that he can hook up with some other girl from New York, who by the way, isn’t a billionaire. Have fun working at Taco Bell Richie. We want to console the hot billionaire lady…she needs our love.

Fred Durst doesn’t have back problems. The real story is that he porked another member of the BIZkit’s girlfriend and that they are possibly breaking up over the matter. We couldn’t have planned it better ourselves. More on this real soon.

In other BIZkit news, if the new album ever happens, Fred supposedly is planning on two diss songs. One for Chino Moreno and another for Eminem. Wonder who’s gonna help him write those.

DJ Lethal will start working on his solo album soon. We don’t think he should.

Last week we told you that The Ataris had the sign from their record store stolen. Well, we’ve got photos of the kidnapped sign. The armed thieves themselves (ataris4ransom@hotmail.com) emailed us, they didn’t tell us their demands but we’re pretty sure once the terrorists figure them out, we’ll be the first to know. Here’s their well thought out message they sent us, misspelling and all. “okay, so it’s been two weeks since the ataris shitty little music video get together, so we have decided to celebrate by holding there cockfuck of a store sign for bid, or some shit like that. Yes, we are the ones who stole that stupid cunt’s sign. And yes, we did do it for buddyhead, if anyone cares. Here’s to the annihalation of all wuss-pop.”

Looks like he’s forgotten about Meg Ryan and Courtney Love. Russell Crowe has been playing “hide the pickle” with Heather Graham. They met last week when Crowe had invited 75 of his “closet friends” to his suite at the Mercer Hotel after a private screening of a DVD featuring his band (30 Odd Foot of Grunts – someone get us a cd of this shit). Jeremy Weiss was there and he said it was a typical Russell Crowe night (i.e. lots of people, food, booze, music, and his tongue in a girls mouth).

A.I. is the worst movie ever made. If you like it, you may as well be supporting child molestation.

Jeremy will be with Piebald (and Rama – ask him for drugs) as they spread their happy-happy joy-joy gayness all over the LA area. Jeremy will be selling Buddyhead shirts at the shows in case you want show up and punch him.
saturday, july 7 – piebald. ozma. @ fais do do
sunday, july 8 – piebald. junction 18. quick step manuever. tba @ chain reaction
monday, july 9 – piebald. american steel. junction 18. the landslide @ che cafe

AFI’s guitar player, Jade, has been seen wearing a Dillinger Escape Plan shirt at quite a few Warped Tour dates. Represzent-zent.

Ben from Dillinger Escape Plan has a booty bass band with Dillinger Escape Plan manager/Buddyhead whore Tom Apostolopoulos. The band is called Snatch2Snatch, look for a record entitled “Stroke That Pussy, Get Me My Wine” sometime in the fall. It’s going to be amazing, we’re sure of it.

Chris from Dillinger Escape Plan is doing a side project with Vernon Reid of Living Colour and T.M. Stevens. Chris is the white guy in the band.

Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains is going to release some solo stuff through Island Records. Jerry gets mad hos.

Add the band, Staind, to the list of people who hate Fred Durst now. That geek singer with the big fat head was quoted as saying “Fred thinks everyone owes him the world, but it’s not true. He’s just a baby”. We like it when shitty bands fight each other.

In other Stained without the e news, those dorks now have so much money that they just bought the shoe company Pony.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new kind of hero on the streets! Kool Keith has once again anally raped the rap world once with his new one Spankmaster out on Overture, the same label that puts out that cult rapper Esham. If your a fan of modern day hip hop (i.e. Outkast, Timberland, The Neptunes, etc.) do yourself a favor and at least read the liner notes where Keith lets the before mentioned know he’s aware of them stealing his ideas.

In other Keith news, his record “Ultra Big Time” is getting reissued really soon on Kutmaster Kurt’s Threshold Records. This was a 1997 vinyl only release that featured Kool Keith and Tim Dog, produced by Kutmaster Kurt. It will be available on DOUBLE vinyl and CD for the first time ever.

After they stole Keith’s wigs and capes, Outkast went on to sell over 3 million copies of their last full length, Stankonia. Next up is a greatest hits collection (plus five new tracks) in December that will cash in on all their new fans unfamiliar with all their older material.

The definition of washed up and played the fuck out, Revelation Records, has signed some band called A18. Not one fucking person (who’s not in the band) cares.

Tom Brokaw is taking the summer off.

The White Stripes are overrated.

Speaking of overrated, the Strokes, got a $2 million deal from RCA to release two albums.

Morrissey asked Moby to produce his next album but Moby’s too busy making his own album that’ll you’ll hear on every single fucking car commercial and movie soundtrack next year.

Moby had a 4th of July party and David Bowie showed up with his baby named Alexandria Zahra. She’s as hot as her mom even though she’s a fetus.

Blackalicious is signed to MCA. A full-length album, chock full of hippy-hop out in the Fall of this year.

Tara Reid and Carson Daly officially broke up. She’s now running around the Hamptons with some really rich guy and he’s running around New York with Willa Ford. Willa is a star fucker who used to go out with Nick Carter and tried to jump on Gideon Yago’s manhood.

By the way, any single ladies who want to get down with Gideon Yago should contact us with a photo. We can make this love connection happen.

The Funky Precedent Vol. 2, comes out in August on Matador. The first volume concentrated on L.A. based groups, the second volume will feature material from the Bay Area hip-hop scene such as Anticon, Live Human, Skoolyard Massive, Foreign Legion, Planet Asia, Rasco, Zion I, and others.

Gorillaz are going to be blessing America with some live shows in late September. We’re already lined up and waiting for tickets.

Paris and Nicky Hilton just became drinking buddies with the Bush Twins.

Alicia Keys is hot like fire.

Speaking of, Travis now owns a photo of Jeremy completely naked. The penis shadow is amazing. If you’d like to see it, place your bid.

We would like to collectively defecate on Mandy Moore’s face.
