Album: From Beale Street To Oblivion (Released Mar 27)
Ian MacKaye, Susie J. Horgan and Henry Rollins put together “Punk Love—a book of Horgan’s shots from the Wilson Center days, making for a raw and vivid document of the D.C. punk scene in the 1980s.”
“Rollins was a slim kid working 60-hour weeks at Häagen-Dazs slinging pralines and cream and rainbow sherbet to Georgetown kids. He hired Ian MacKaye, the future cofounder of Dischord Records, and Susie J. Horgan, a transient would-be photographer, to work with him as soda jerks.”

This is a great example, appealing or not, of incorporating the release info into the artwork, instead of taking Helvetica bold or Old English typography onto a Photoshop file. They must have an affinity for silhouettes of wooden swords, too!

U2’s Bono was recently knighted at a ceremony in Dublin. Though it’s official, he cannot use the term “Sir” due to not being a British citizen. British Prime Minister Tony Blair attended the ceremony and read from a letter he wrote praising the rocker/activist which said:
“I’ll leave it to others far more knowledgeable than me to talk about U2’s music - all I’ll say is that, along with millions of others right across the world, I’m a huge fan.”
Baby Teeth’s The Simp is now available in stores and from Lujo Records. Don’t forget about the free digital EP the band released. It can be downloaded from the Lujo online store.
Because picking on music journalists and musicians is just too easy these days.

Quinn Allman of The Used was asked about touring with Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars:
“Is he a diva? Well, I don’t think he’s anything less than a star, I’m not gonna lie,” Allman says testily. “But he doesn’t need to ride my band for press, so I don’t know that it matters what I think.”
