I used to listen to Charles Bronson regularly when driving between Indianapolis and Iowa in the late 90s. Being far from stellar musicians, I needed something sloppy and fast as I drove 90mph down I-74. But even then I still acted like these guys were my absolute favorite band in the whole world, and that I listened to them all the time. I still wish I would have been able to see them once. Here is show footage off disc 2 on their complete discography, with fun TV clips in between shows
Band: Charles Bronson
While in New Zealand, Vicky T of Cobra Starship got messed up in a car accident. And this one was for real - it’s not just some internet rumor!
“I was given a bunch of pain killers at the hospital. Returned to the hotel where TAI, Panic at the Disco and my boys all came back to meet me. They all greeted me, we had drinks, I then ate some breakfast and passed out around 7am.”
How dreamy would it be to wake up and have the dream boats from Panic at the Disco and The Academy Is… looking over you? OMG!
The above caption is from the 1986 album Look What the Cat Dragged In, by Poison. Some might say it’s an inappropriate song to play while introducing Sarah Palin, John McCain’s new VP selection. That’s a no brainer.
But another song that’s inappropriate, according to Van Halen’s management, is Right Now. The song was used the other night, without permission, and they’re mad as heck.
Can you think of other song titles that might be inappropriate?
Video games and music is a big deal these days. Pay attention.
The Rush Moving Pictures full album DLC pack scheduled for release last week was delayed by Harmonix. It was replaced by a Locksley 3pack with with She Does, Don’t Make Me Wait and All Over Again. I know what you’re thinking; “Locksley? Sweet.”
There’s a movement on the message board to get some more punk tracks. Can a brother get some Aquabats?
Meanwhile, the Rock Band 2 ondisc playlist has been released. Some of the highlights have to be Bob Dylan, and new Guns N Roses along with some Elvis Costello, L7 and a Stevie Ray Vaughn full album DLC.
Brett Ratner (X-Men: Last Stand, Rush Hour) wants to direct a Guitar Hero movie. Seriously. I guess Judd Apatow’s sharing his stash.
The next Guitar Hero 3 DLC pack scheduled is Metallica’s new record, Death Magnetic. Shawn Fanning and the rest of us can buy the pack on Sept. 12.
Lexington gamers will have the chance to nerd out in front of thousands. The winner of a local single elimination GH3 tournament will battle Kutless‘ guitarists James Mead, Jon Micah Sumrall and Nick De Partee on mainstage at Questapalooza. Winner gets a GH3 controller autographed by the band.
Ludo will be whoring their new album You’re Awful, I Love You by playing Halo 3 in XBL’s Game With Fame promotion. Moog players are deadly with the needler. Send your FR’s to Ludo GWF 1 & Ludo GWF 2 on September 5th.

36 Crazyfists singer Brock Lindow hopes to trade in their van for a bus someday:
“If we hit that, we’ve made it. It definitely pulls at you to see other bands climb into their bunks at night as you’re driving the van away. At the same time, we can do it in a van, which I feel proud about. We can do it on any level. We don’t want to be spending $30,000 a month just for an aesthetic that’s not in our means. It would be cool to support that one day, but we’re used to grinding it out.”
See? When you download albums, you keep bands from spending $30k a month on a tour bus. I’m sure gas and the driver are extra, but that’s what $15 T-shirts are for.

My inbox tells me that Chiodos will be doing an in-store signing at the Hot Topic in Anchorage, AK Sept. 12. Which one of the two locations wasn’t made clear, but Google Maps tells me they are only 15 minutes apart from each other.
If you’re nice to them, perhaps they will join you in drilling for oil, picking off stray caribou, or ogling the governor.
Band: Underoath
Song: Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Album: Lost in the Sound of Separation (out Sept. 2, 2008)
Director: Walter Robot Studios
:: The recent Hot Water Music show had Adam Carson and Davey Havok (AFI, duh) in the crowd.
:: Slash hopes Kevin Cogill rots in jail. One judge thinks the arrest was “unnecessary.”
:: Joey Cape, singer of Lagwagon, “If we’re old school, what’s Minor Threat?”
:: Metal Blade/Lifeforce/Relapse CMJ showcase details.

Some performances from Boys Like Girls, All Time Low and Metro Station from the VMA Summer Tour.
Gorki Aguila, vocalist for Cuban punk band Porno Para Ricardo, will be tried in a Havana court today:
Aguila was picked up Monday during a rehearsal for an album tentatively called Geriatric Central Committee, an apparent jab at the aging members of Cuba’s communist party leadership.
He is charged with ”pre-crime social dangerousness,” a law the Cuban government uses against people it considers a threat to the revolution.
McCain should snatch this band up, because Daddy Yankee just isn’t going to cut it.
