:: I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that Jay Leno is back on the air or the interview he did with Kanye West last night.

:: I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but I guess the cat is out of the bag now. Warner Brothers subsidiary Sire Records has signed Foxy Shazam. The band has posted a new track on their MySpace, and is currently on the road with The Sounds.

:: Violent Femmes frontman Gordon Gano recently discussed transformative albums with Aquarium Drunkard.

:: Looks like Brian Welch asked to be in Korn again, and they didn’t exactly say yes.

:: My man Dan Harris interviewed David Bazan for ABC’s Amplified. Just as honest as always, like when we talked to him.

:: Patrick Swayze passed away yesterday at age 57, as he lost his battle with cancer. Given the seemingly disproportionate amount of celebrities that have died over the last few months, which one has affected you the most? I imagine most would say Michael Jackson, but I also imagine they’re full of it. It was Billy Mays for me.

:: Random tracks that don’t suck:
Jawbox – Mirrorful
Sufjan Stevens – Movement VI: Isorhythmic Night Dance with Interchanges
SethW – The March of No Holds Barred McCrumb
