December 31st, 2006
It’s Sunday December 31st, 2006. I’ll keep this short and sweet since we’ve spent working on the year end lists has reduced me to a vegetative state. Those articles are now available on the right sidebar for your reading / arguing pleasure. We’ve got columns from the editors Aubin, Adam, Brian, Justin, Meg and Chris, our alumni editor Scott, and staff reviewers Anchors, Jesse, Greg0rb, Matt Whelihan and Ben_Conoley.
Have fun tonight folks, if you drink don’t drive.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Against Me! may be our number one newsmaker this year, not that I have a way to find out, but it’s a hunch. The band
titled their new record this week and announced tour plans with the Riverboat Gamblers and Fake Problems. New York hardcore mainstays Madball are writing their next, declaring that it will be their “hardest record to date.” AFI posted some audio this week including a cover of David Bowie for AOL Sessions. The Loved Ones, a band I suspect is on quite a few year end lists `round here, lost their bassist Spider and announced plans for the new year. Social Distortion is back in the studio, but it only took them 7 years or so last time around so don’t hold your breath. Finally we ended the week with some tour dates featuring Rise Against, the Bronx and Cancer Bats.
This week in music we bid farewell to the legendary Godfather of Soul James Brown (1933-2006), while news headlines were made around the world by the death of former U.S. president Gerald Ford (1913-2006) and former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein (1937-2006).
Our Video Of The Week featured the ever-popular Lifetime playing a few songs from the Fest earlier this year in Gainesville, FL. Also, our Fishmas present to all of you was video of Kid Dynamite’s entire set live at CBGB.
