Robert Implant and the Harm Wide Open...

-
This morning, I happened upon an article over at Rolling Stone.com that made a couple things very clear:

Vomit #1 — Led Zeppelin may possibly reunite for a tour WITHOUT Robert Plant, meaning that someone inappropriate will be taking over as vocalist.

Vomit #2 — The inappropriate candidate for the tour's Robert Implant is Myles Kennedy, current lead singer for the band, Alter Bridge.

Vomit #3 — For those of you don't know, Alter Bridge is the byproduct of Scott Stapp's decision to leave Creed and embark on a laughable (fuckit, hysterically delusional) solo career.

Vomit #4 — Because of Kennedy's potential obligation to tour as Zeppelin's Robert Implant, Alter Bridge is in talks to reunite with the deflated Stapp, thusly reforming Creed after only four years of appreciated and cherished silence.

Vomit #5 — Add it all together, and Zeppelin is now inadvertently responsible for the reactivation of one of the worst and most overrated bands to seep into a recorded format and a collective pop culture consciousness. Page, seriously, what the fuck did you do!?!



Verdict — Fuck reunion tours. Why don't you guys call it "The Song Remains The Lame?" Maybe Creed could be your opener.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica...
