Have it All...
You heard right, Dave Grohl spilled the beans. The Foo Fighters are heading back
into the studio. I guess sober thoughts speak drunken words as Grohl was sipping
on some Jameson Irish Whiskey at the Independent Spirit Awards Friday night when
he broke the good news.
On November 4, 2009, Dave Grohl announced that the Greatest Hits record marks
the end of a phase and the beginning of a real hiatus. “This greatest hits
record, that’s the end of something… It’s time to move on into this next chapter
or another phase."
Flash forward to today. Dave seems over this hiatus talk.
Working toward their seventh album, the Foo Fighters are teaming up with
Butch Vig to mark the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind, which Vig
produced in 1991.
Grohl plans on this album to be recorded entirely in analog out of his
garage and added, “I think this could be our heaviest album yet.”
When asked about the likelihood of noise complaints from his Encino neighbors,
Grohl said, “We’re doing a test on Monday.” There is no set time the album is to be released,
but The Foo Fighters plan on a documentary film, that will celebrate the band’s sixteen years
together and chronicle the making of the album.

Pop's Love Suicide
Stone Temple Pilots, after a nine-year hiatus have a new self titled album due out on May 25. They will be debuting the
new tracks in Austin at SXSW March 18.
The new album is classic STP. Its 12 tracks have the band's signature blend of tuneful melodies and rock guitar crunch,
psychedelic solos and impressive crooning courtesy of Scott Weiland. A few hard-hitting tracks featured tuneful,
Beatles-esque songwriting, and a pair of songs on the album's second half slowed the tempo, a la "Sour Girl," with acoustic
guitar and strong lead vocals from Weiland.
A tracklisting has yet-to-be announced, but among the songs are "Huckleberry Crumble" and "Between the Lines".

Powder Blue No More
This week my Charger's released the club's all-time rushing leader this week.
I'm really, really bummed! I wanted LT to be part of that Super Bowl® Champion
team that I know we will be. I had HOPED this year was it, but alas, it was not
meant to be. It was a great year of football and fun to watch!
I guess all I can say is "Good Luck dear friend"... Good Luck.

Return of Flannel
Yes, it's true. Flannel is making a comeback. And I'm not talking about the kids you see walking around the malls

Soundgarden has reunited. Tour by the summer. New Music in the future.
Stone Temple Pilots is in the studio finishing up a new album. Toured all last year and plan on
touring again this year.
Alice in Chains reformed and released a new album last year. They have been touring including a show

Still Missing My Old Friend
It's been 15 years since Bill Watterson decided to end his comic strip Calvin & Hobbes,
and the world wept (well, maybe it was just me). I do have most of the collected books
and get nostalgic and like to read through them.
Mr. Watterson decided to break his silence with an interview with his hometown paper
in Cleveland. Read it HERE.
