Spits, snorts, rumbles, and whomps: Who says all new cars are boring? Here's five production motors that are definitely Jalopnik -approved. This is for those of you who think that modern machinery is dull, that there isn't anything out there worth pawning a kidney for. We're talking series-production stuff here; microscopic manufacturers need not apply. Hang onto your valuables, and leave all sharp...
"Formed over twenty years ago and having not played Austin in fifteen or so years, Danzig closed Fun Fun Fun Fest with a bang. The band that metalheads, punk rockers, and slightly ironic hipsters all love didn't disappoint anyone who...
For the past seven years, Derek Rickard has had only one Halloween costume—Glenn Danzig. As vocalist for Bellingham-based Misfits tribute band Horror Business , Rickard howls the lyrics to 30-or-so of the bands classic anthems, like "Hybrid Moments," "Teenagers from Mars," and "She," alongside unusually deep album cuts from Earth A.D . If it's Danzig-era Misfits,...
Since only one person signed up for Pandos, it seems privacy is an issue. I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want my email address stored on my computer if the RIAA comes knocking. The new solution is 4shared.com. Better than Rapidshare.de (100% less porn) and because the files stay there until I delete them. Feel free to [...]
This week, amid some hullabaloo over whether they’re actually “ good ,” Creed released an album. More significant to us was the return of singer Scott Stapp and his remarkable chest. In baring his Christian nipples, Stapp carries on a long tradition in music, one not defined by the strategic placement of gym socks, but the manifold expressions of strength, vulnerability, and the...
Charles Montgomery - better known as Chuck Biscuits - has died. His drumming in DOA helped create the sub genre Hardcore. His energetic battering of drums took him through a number of Vancouver bands before he moved to California. Arriving in 1982, he started a five-month spell with Black Flag before moving through another large number of stools - Circle Jerks and Weirdos included - and, eventually,...
Mad Men continues to include real issues faced by advertising (and yes PR firms) in an incredible show. If I wasn’t in this industry, I’m sure I would still be a fan of the show, but for me I get a bonus. I get to watch situations I encounter all the time dealt with by [...]
Lodged between Glenn Danzig's legendary years fronting horror punk gods The Misfits and his 'comeback' as the dark, brooding dark rocker Danzig , I feel like Samhain never gets the respect it deserves. It's a shame, because the full length releases are every bit as cool as The Misfits discography, and the direction this band was forging was both riveting and memorable. Samhain was a natural extension...

Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”, now featuring Glenn Danzig! What I like about this one is that it spares no-one. Shakira’s sex bomb routine is stripped to its bare essentials and Wyclef Jean’s silly Spanglish lyrics are satirized. Best of all, Danzig’s act, which may have been the inspiration for the film Idiocracy, is mercilessly lampooned.
DM's Random True Fax of the Day: Jon Bon Jovi turned down a part in the Simpsons because his character got covered in cheese. I read that this morning and I laughed so hard that I almost soiled myself. Seriously. So, it's Friday...we're another week closer to retirement. Not that I'm counting the days, weeks, months and/or years, you understand..no, not at all. Anyhooo...Brütal Legend: The Demo!...
We're already a handful of days into October, which means that Halloween is only a few weeks away. Musically, it's one of the best times of the year, because the songs surrounding the holiday tend to be either fantastically campy novelty tunes or genuinely scary hard rock and metal tunes. MTV Music's Halloween playlist covers [...]
With fat dark clouds lurking overhead, there was a sense at the beginning of Day Three of the Austin City Limits Festival that, if it rains again, we’re all doomed. It didn’t rain. But we were all doomed. By mid-afternoon, when the clouds had cleared for good the festival grounds metastasized into a fetid swamp, [...]
Fans of both heavy metal and gaming have probably long been salivating over the prospect of Double Fine’s follow up to 2005’s Psychonauts: Brütal Legend. Starring Jack Black, the game is a loving homage to all things metal. There’s not long to wait now; Brütal Legend, is due on on “Rocktober” 16th and so it [...] Dealspwn UK Games Deals: Brütal Legend Preorder...
