…legally. Check out AC/DC’s rockin’ new album at VH1′s The Leak. I’m telling you, this is an album you’ll want to own if you just have at least one rockin’ bone in your body. The album will be released on October 20th at a Wal-Mart near you. We NYC’ers thankfully don’t have Wal-Mart’s evil empire stores in our city, so I wonder where we’re supposed to get the album from.
Anyway, stream Black Ice here and be ready to bang your fuggin’ head!
Anyone gonna see them this tour?
(and be sure to head over to Ronebreak Blog and check out my music posts and o.p.p.’s)
Wired has a poll on their blog: Should AC/DC Release Its Album Exclusively Through Wal-Mart and you may be surprised to see the results (or not). Go there and cast your vote. And it could be a new place for our new friends, Dan and Cindy, to post!
Now step aside whilst Wal-Mart smites your first-born! I think they’re in it with Menocu…oh, fearless leader.
Well, the weather done gave all us New Yorkers the ol’ bitch-slap this past week, as it got tired of hearing us complain about cold, rainy days. We’ve already seen 100 degree weather and it ain’t even July yet! I won’t complain because I fuckin’ love summer. It’s hard to live in New York in the winter. You can’t let your mind go where it naturally tends to go, you know? Here’s the famous telescope that stretches from Brooklyn to London, that we checked out on Saturday, the first above 90 degree day, before we boarded the water taxi for Manhattan…
Here’s a bunch of stuff I noticed that stood out this week…
Radiohead fans are furious over EMI’s Best Of release now that Radiohead are Indie again. Check out some of the hundreds of pissed-off reviews via this link to iTunes. Relax, people. I guess it’s hard to lighten up when you listen to too much Radiohead (sorry, had to got there).
Rolling Stone talks about the gradual return of vinyl, as people fall back in love with its aesthetic. Reminder: who’s been talking about vinyl’s return since the onset of this here blog?
Animal Collective listen like Newms does. Check out the links to these AC mixes and playlists!
I think the hip-hop community could use some chess too, Wu. It’d be one thing that’s not about bling and being the biggest asshole.
Check out my review of the Man Raze album. Def Lep meets Sex Pistols equals HOT!
Luckily the little ma & pop store, Wal-Mart, has some people to get their back. Now if only the poor people behind the counter making $17k a year, trying to raise a family, could get someone to get their back. Pay more and support living wages, says I! But I’m sure that makes me a communist. Did I even mention how UN-rock & roll it is for AC/DC to do a Wal-Mart exclusive?! Stoppit, world!
What’s missing from these Greatest Guitar Songs of All-Time?
…as The Eagles, Journey, and Garth Brooks, and is releasing their next album, due out in the fall, exclusively through evil empire and one of the biggest factors in our nation’s decline…WAL-MART! Doesn’t it just make you feel dirty? As much as I love AC/DC, I say boycott the album…or steal it!
Awful choice by AC/DC’s management. Wal-Mart is the antithesis of rock and roll, if you ask me. Talk about dirty deeds done dirt cheap! Thoughts? Anyone got devil’s advocate here?
