Show up at any McDonalds in the country today, buy a soda, and get a free “Southern” fried chicken sandwich or breakfast biscuit. Not a bad promo for two new products. Only problem is that if you don’t eat McDonalds on any regular basis and now cash in on some free fried what have you, I would be willing to bet that you’re going home with a mean case of the shits.

According to Fox News, Bush Says Electing Democratic President Could Lead to New Attack On U.S., again proof that he’s crazy!

In the same article from Politico.com: he also says: “I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life,” he said. “I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, ‘It’s just not worth it anymore to do.’”
So in 2003 Bush vowed to never golf again. Well, good for him I’m sure that every time he’d like to golf he has a little cry for all the innocent people he’s murdering in Iraq but thank again, maybe not.

Though the Velvet Rope has gotten inundated with n00bs and dudes whose qualifications as an “industry insider” are playing in a band for a few days back in the ’70s, sometimes it still provides interesting tidbits, such as this list of everyone TVT Records, who recently declared bankruptcy, owes money to. The list includes Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger (who is owed $945.46), Aaron Spelling Productions (owed a whopping $0.86) and some lesser known folks owed a far more substantial amount of money, such as Kaye Scholer LLP, owed upwards of $4,000,000. Elsewhere in the thread there is much lulz to be found, for those interested in the inner workings of a failed record label. Perusal is recommended. 

Anberlin certainly have gone in a new direction with their forthcoming major label debut, New Surrender. Maybe they should get Aaron Sprinkle back behind the boards

A trailer for Metallica’s new Mission:Metallica website features a sneak preview of some of the new songs on the band’s forthcoming Rick Rubin produced album. Metallica are of course one of most bad ass bands of all time, and even if they fucked off on the last couple of records, any true Metallica head still has hope that James Hetfield will pull a few Puppets-era riffs out of his ass and make this new record hard as f. Plus the band finally canned Bob Rock, which is definitely a start. Now if they could just start slamming Jaegermeister and writing “EET FUK” on their guitars again they’d really be getting somewhere!
