“Make some fucking noise”, only a nu-metal anthem could start that way and sound just as ridiculous as you might imagine. Live and unadulterated rap-punk noise without the filter of ‘good’ turned on is what “The DiY Guys” bring to the table. Yeah there’s a DVD as well as a live CD of various songs including four brand new (yet moldly) that sound like a retarded Public Enemy who couldn’t escape the ‘90’s music scene if they wanted. (hed) pe == yuck.
Wired picked up the scope on the latest Metallica controversy, throwing a typical Lars conniption fit after the band invited folks to a listening only to get nervous and ask online reviewers to remove all reviews of their new album. Then the doublespeak started. It was all the fault of a PR firm, at least that’s what the band said faster than you can say “Napster”…It is now official, Metallica is dead to me and the rest of the metal community. Here’s to hoping that the Orlando Weekly does another “Metallica Sucks” contest.
The irony doesn’t escape them one minute does it? The aptly titled All Hope is Gone is well, Slipknot. Yuck. Even better go to the site and watch the countdown to the end of heavy music. Seen here on their way to the Grammy Awards, because Mr. Grammy is fucking deaf.
Big tits and acting ability can get you far in Hollywood, but they don’t mean shit to the wonderful world of sound waves. Scarlett’s husky voice might have SOUNDED ON PAPER like the perfect fit for covers of the whiskey-throated Tom Waits but “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (which by the way lacks the crucial subtitle of “(on Scarlett’s bosom, results in neck cramps”) is a sorted affair of pop interpretations with only one original song that was co-penned with the help of producer and multi-instrumentalist (he played darn near everything here) by none other than TV on the Radio’s own David Andrew Sitek which was a yawn not a delight. How can lips that perfect by so flawed?!? Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist Nick Zinner also lends a hand to her debut. Now, I’ll leave you with what should have been the cover art…
