Sunday Edition: October 21, 2007

Who's steering this thing? I have no clue. Since Adam is on vacation carousing around the East Coast of both Canadia and the People's Republic of America we're lost without a rudder. A car without a steering wheel. A bike without a stem!
He's obviously the wittiest of us editors, so we'll just skip to the wrapup. Sorry about that folks.

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

As always, anything about the clean and narrow lifestyle known as Straight Edge brings out people's debating fingers and this year's wish of Happy Edge Day was no different. Coming from the opposite direction, tricksters NOFX released a song from their upcoming live album without all their blabbing. Thanks Mike. Blender took some shots at punk icons like Greg Graffin, Henry Rollins and...Panic at the Disco in their "Worst Lyricists EVAR!" article. Some other well known folks joined forces to form The Innocent while on the other end of the "cred spetrum" Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz to open Clandestine store in Chicago

The much loved Latterman made it o–fficial this week, they are no longer alive. As a band. All the guys are doing just fine. On the other hand, there's a Kurt Cobain biopic in the works. Looking to record in another country? Better mail that home, since Homeland Security seems to be confiscating solo projects.

This week's Vinyl File looked at Rarities and upcoming releases. Oh, and there was some hubbub about a detailed schedule of THE FEST being posted. Whatever that is.
ps: The Mohawk Toupée? Almost as ridicuous as Universal's plan to sell singles on USB drives(FOR TEN DOLLARS!).
We got a little Hot Water Music love (cough) and a new video from the Weakerthans.
