Yup, Buzzgrinder shirts. Just $10 (+$5 shipping). ORDER HERE.
With album sales overall on the decline, why not focus on the combination of music AND fashion? In this case, making songs about the apparel.
That’s what Between the Buried and Me singer Tommy Rogers is doing, in partnering with artist/designer Jake Troth to form Jacob Rogers:
“Jacob Rogers blends music and everyday fashion, each design having its own unique soundtrack. All clothing is very limited and each article comes with a free 5 song ep.”
If there’s anything I want with my everyday fashion, it’s a soundtrack. It’s not enough have 5000 songs in my back pocket. No. I want my jacket to have a song that it can rock to.
Take this design (the image is titled andie on their website). It screams, “I don’t own an iron.”
I really do like this item below. Red hoodies are fun, and come on, that crest thing isn’t really that overdone, right?
Now if only I could get a soundtrack for my hair.
Jeffrey Collins, CEO of Echo-Vista Entertainment, owns the rights to an unheard live recording of the Beatles from a 1962 performance at the Star Club in Germany. Now he plans to release it.
It’s the earliest known recording of Ringo Starr playing with the band, a fact that no doubt has Beatles-obsessed weirdos drooling as we speak. Here’s a little bit about the record from Collins:
It starts off with only 20 or 30 people in attendance … The guys are fooling around… you can hear on the first track Paul McCartney tuning his guitar.
Band: Oh, Sleeper
Song: Vices Like Vipers
Album: When I Am God
Producer: Endeavor Media
Rody Walker, singer for Protest The Hero, on what their next album might sound like:
“…who knows? We won’t ever lose the melody though. Singing is the only thing I am passionate about besides alcohol consumption.”
In this time of bands being conscience of environmental impact, the upcoming elections and various other social justice issues it’s good to see a band sticking to the stereotypes.
Andy Williams of Everytime I Die talks about influences:
“You can listen to a Rolling Stones song and no joke; I can pull inluence from stuff like that before a band from nowadays like As I Lay Dying. I don’t listen to them, but I would never listen to them when I need inspiration for a song.”
Wow. A band going on the record and sort of taking a swipe at another band? I thought only ex-members of Hopesfall did that sort of thing. And he doesn’t listen to them? Maybe he would be influenced by them. Tsk tsk!
He also says touring and playing sucks now, too:
“When we were growing up, irst getting into this, every show was awesome. You get to the show and you get excited, where now it’s just like “I know what I do now” and I know what do for a living and it sort of feels like a job.”
I wish my job included playing to thousands hundreds of fans, traveling the world, and not getting health care. One out of three ain’t bad, I guess.

From the ashes of The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves rises Jaguar Love, a 3-piece that has just been signed to Matador Records. Their debut album could be coming out as soon as this summer, as the band says that they’re currently “writing and recording songs in a house in Portland.”

Moby surprised people at Sloane Square in London with a sidewalk show recently for the British TV program The Culture Show. He only made $10 in tips.
“At the most I was given maybe £5 or £6, but that’s fine because I was obviously not doing it for the money. When I was at university I used to busk (perform on the streets) all the time to make money to buy liquor.”
If your dog looks like a famous musician, send it to Blender Magazine and they’ll put it up on the site. Here’s a picture of my dog Rascals with Buzzgrinder’s favorite musician.
Heck yea. We back, suckas. In typical Scene Points fashion some videos are mocked, praised and introduced to you by me, and yes, I know I need a haircut. Someone recommend a place in NYC, yo. Brooklyn, actually. It’s closer.
