30 Mins of Metal Wow Channel V!
Wow. Channel [v] have absolutely got me so freakin' excited I can't help myself. They're dedicated (wait for it), not a quarter but a whole half hour of metal videos!!!!! Not only that, but apparently it warranted an email about it. AND the link spits you at the Dave Grohl open letter. Hrm. Perplexing....
"If you, like the one and only Dave Grohl, love heavy metal - check out Channel [V] @ 7:30pm Tuesday 13 May - we're playing a special half-hour dose of prime time metal."
I'm a little worried that they think that Metallica are heavy metal. Don't get me wrong - I'm a Metallica fan, I'm just going to be really disappointed if they fill the half hour with Metallica. Or that kind of music. Even those stupid shows Saturday morning occasionally play Metallica once in a while. It'd be good to see clips that always get pushed to the 3:30am slot on rage every couple of months.
I guess anything is better than nothing though right?

Times Online Story about "Making It" in Music
There's an interesting article here about the guy who "discovered" Amy Winehouse. First off, I probably wouldn't be raising my hand claiming that. Especially now that people are refusing to work with her. And eating baked beans and toast for two years? I could handle that. Pity in reality it's more like 5 years and if malnutrition doesn't kill you (clearly Amy spent her share of 2 years on this miraculous diet), the debt collectors will.
But the rest of the article sounds right on. But for a massively huge conglomerate, you'd think they could afford spell check and a proof reader.

Win Tickets to see Lacuna Coil
Because no-one got enough of Lacuna Coil when they toured last year, they're back headlining! And thanks to the good folks at KMW Productions if you want to win a double pass to the show, and get to meet the band, just send an email to info@kmwproductions and answer the question
"Is Cristina Scabbia the hottest chick in metal?".
I'm wondering how many replies consisting of either "yes" or "fuuuuuuck yeeeaaaah" they get.
Oh, and no-one from Queensland enter. I want to win goddamit!!!!!

Splendour Line Up
I know it's late but I've been busy out of my brain recently. Anyway, swing by here and check out the line up for Splendour in the Grass 08.
Splendour's never really been my thing. It's too chilled and laid back for me, so it's not surprising that out of that entire list I'd be psyched to see Devo andWolfmother. Oh, and maybe Ben Lee. Just so I can throw shit at him for being lame. If I was on enough drugs I'd probably dance to The Grates as well.
Ah fuck it. For someone who's "not into" that kind of music, even I'd have fun there. As long as I was pinging off my brain and didn't have to camp. Coz I'm a diva like that...
Dave Grohl - Number 1 Metallica Fan
I have a strong dislike of "open letters". It's like someone's trying to send somebody a "private" message, but wants everyone else to know how smart they are. I'm pretty sure when I send an email I don't CC it to everyone that has an email address.
The above is pretty irrelevant but I thought you'd all like to know where I stand on open letters. I know it keeps you up at night, I truly do.
So everyone's best friend Dave Grohl has written an open letter to Metallica, telling them not to suck, and asking for a job. I don't know about you but even Foo Fighters have known to have sucking moments too.
"Hey, it's Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I'm the guy that's been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album 'Kill 'Em All' from a mail order catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can't remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I've been listening to your albums ever since (even 'St Anger'!).
I can't wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I'll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's fuckin' minds, because you're fuckin' METALLICA!
Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-ass.
Yours, Dave Grohl.
P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?"
If I were Metallica, I'd want to bitch slap Dave back into his long hair days. Then again, I suppose he does have a point!
