Some boring headlines

Time for some headlines, folks, and trust me, they’ll bore you to death.

Queensrÿche (pictured above… i think… it’s not the 80s, is it?) are talking about their new album and, you guessed it, it’s “going in another direction.” If I had a blowjob for every time I heard that…

Lars Ulrich is an actor now. A photo of him on the set pictured and I can only describe it with three letters: LOL

Nevermore are embarking on a clinic tour around Serbia, Italy and Greece. I wish Paramore would do the same. I heard Serbian laws for rape are pretty forgiving.

Nick Oliveri is not working with Homme yet. He squashed those rumors in a recent interview. Too bad the one spreading them was himself.

Scott Rockenfield will take you back in time

Queensrÿche drummer Scott Rockenfield (nice surname) launched a new site called “Hollywood Loops.” Now, aside from the fact that the name makes you think of candy or something perverted, it’s actually a site for film and TV soundtrack work, or something.

“Founded by Grammy Award Nominated Film Composer and Queensryche [sic] drummer Scott Rockenfield, our goal is to produce the highest quality Sound Fx and Loop Libraries for use in Film, Television, Trailers, MultiMedia and all other Music Productions.“

Now, all sounds well until you actually visit the site.  I’ll pretend not to see that he didn’t even spell his band’s name right, or that he capitalized the second M in ‘multimedia.’ But my God, look at that site. Was it done in ’97? Seriously, Scott, what the hell? Great and professional look, I’m sure Spielberg, Nolan and George Lucas will die to work with you after they see your awesome web 0.5 design.

Mark Stone returns

Who, you ask? Mark Stone, the guy who sounds like he’s the creator of South Park, but was in fact Queensrÿche’s guitarist, has returned with a new band. Excited? Yeah, me neither.

Comprised of Stephen Duffy on lead vocals/guitars, Mike Stone on vocals/guitars, Billy Close on bass, Bernie Godwin on lead guitar, and Frankie Anthony on drums, The Stick People recently signed with EFM/Bungalo, which issued “Think About That.”

A bunch of names thrown around that I’ve never heard of. Reminds me of when I asked my mom who my dad was, and she started listing all the possible candidates. Anyway, maybe you care more than I do. In which case, you can check out their MySpace page.
