So I don’t know how we missed this, but back in april a marching band covered My Heartstrings Come Undone. Pretty cool aside from the lame guitar playing.
Have a safe halloween everyone. Keep an eye out for the great pumpkin.
From Victory:
Bayside Drummer John Holohan Killed in Tragic Highway Accident.
There has been a tragic loss. Bayside was in a terrible accident this morning while driving to today’s concert on the “Never Sleep Again” Tour, which includes their friends and label mates Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein and Aiden. Their drummer John “Beatz” Holohan was killed when their van flipped after hitting a patch of ice outside of Cheyenne, WY. Their bass player Nick Ghanbarian was also seriously injured. Anthony and Jack have thankfully been discharged from the hospital. Members of the band’s crew also remain hospitalized.
Also, “Tonight’s show in Salt Lake City is cancelled. An announcement regarding the rest of the tour will be made later today.”
Donations to John’s family can be made via Paypal to the John Holohan Bayside Memorial Fund.
[thanks, Jay]
Get your mosh on: new Candiria video from Earache. From Earache, “The band have just finished up a massive UK tour with BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE plus a couple of shows in Holland and Belgium.”
This is corny as heck, and not related to anything punk, hardcore, or metal, but come on - how cool would it be to win this?
“One grand prize winner will win the chance to go on tour with Shakira in 2006 as the official ‘fan correspondent’ for MTV.”
You’re lying if you don’t think that’d be awesome. I mean, look at this prize pack:
- 4 weeks on Shakira’s Tour. (make sure you have four weeks of paid vacation)
- Electronics needed for reporting (laptop, digital camera, cell phone, etc.) (iBook, digital camera, I’m in!)
- $25,000 Cash! (hottness! that’s like, what I made in 2004. How awful is that? haha)
- An unprecedented fan opportunity and trip of a lifetime! (Well. Whatever. Sign me up.)
I’m entering, I don’t care what you think.
The band Kaddisfly (PureVolume) had their trailer stolen. Writes the band, “We tallied up our total loss and it is right around $40,000.” Dear lord.
The band is in Florida right now, planning on how to get back to Oregon. Help a band out.
Listen to Sufjan Stevens live from Paradiso, Amsterdam here. Several other shows are also up for downloading.
Digg.Com recieved 2.8 million dollars in venture funds. Wowzas.
Adam Curry (old school MTV VJ), Mark Hoppus (of Blink 182), Seth W. (ummm), and now Rikki freaking Rockett (of Poison fame) - what do they all have in common? Podcasts. Rikki Rockett is talking about doing a podcast now. Awesome.
