The Sick New World festival has officially been canceled. https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=343851&title=-UNWELL%253A-SICK-NEW-WORLD-FEST-CANCELED Insiders claim that due to the enormous guarantees offered to the artists—Metallica and Linkin Park were said to be getting $5m each—the show w...

Agree with ruffers & eastmidswhizzkid. Thanks for sharing that!

This is kind of unexpected, but it turns out that Ben remixed and played on a Sunshine Blind song! I've never actually listened to them before. And only stumbled on this when randomly researching what happened to the 2 bands Andrew kicked off a festival in 1997. What's next, Kai remixes The New Crea...

The majority of white women voted for Trump. The (overwhelming) majority of black women voted for Harris. (Data from The Guardian) Dont know where Im going with this point but very interesting in the context of misogony and racism. The majority of white women also voted for Trump in 2016 & 2020...

Unsurprisingly, "kamala IS brat" + Dick Cheney didn't turn out to be the best strategy. Wonder if Eldritch will finally stop watching so much MSNBC now? (still can't get over his "she’s clearly got something that connects to the American people" interview quote) On a serious note...

Congratulations! Quite a fairy tale ending for you. I don’t know if there’s a God, and if there is, I don’t know that He intervenes in human affairs, but since I met her everything in both my personal and professional lives have fallen into place - it’s enough to make one superstitious if not religi...

Are there any recordings of the full set (even audio-only)? Was curious if Andrew made any quips before/after songs prior to me getting there.

He closed the show saying, "You're good at this. We should do this again." So it seemed like he was in a good mood.

Sorry for the delay. Not that exciting but here you go:



Far right side you can see it labeled "sticker set" $10

FML. Unforeseen circumstances and I could only get there at the end of Caligula. Hoping they come back here next year, or the year after. Not sure how many more chances I'll have, if any. edit - I mean I'm glad I made it at all, plus I got the $10 Sisters sticker set that they sold, then stayed up t...

They scrapped the head/star & went back to the Caslon Antique text only style.



And I guess they decided to get rid of the hand logo from The Hives while they were at it.

This morning I’m feeling pretty chipper. I do not think Kamala Harris is the answer to everything but she’s clearly got something that connects to the American people. More power to her. And Trump? Well … (Eldritch’s voices rises by an octave at this point) It really sucks that her Connection Thing...

Can you top the last person who posted Von fiction?

That was fun, thanks for sharing.

Someone in a different thread was wondering what his speaking voice sounded like when it went up an octave. Lo and behold, about 80 seconds in:

Another take from "the industry": if Pearson didn't want to cooperate in putting out music, that means, in all likelihood, that no commercial-quality recordings were made. If the band had independently funded some studio time (which I doubt), and those tracks existed, then they would have...

Even if this were legally true (why isn't "Gimme Shelter" on Wake?), if Pearson said "no, you're not allowed to release my songs", Von just might respect his wishes because he's not a jerk. And I would believe Pearson might say that because he's a freakin' weirdo. Was there ever...

I had a silly daydream about waiting in line for this on Record Store Day 2025:

1. You Could Be The One (Jutland Mix)
2. OTBCY (YCBTO Ozymandias style)
3. Torch (instrumental)

Do you think he'd even respond to Billie Eilish, or just ignore her like he did with Moby?

I'm watching a Trump speech live from a rally in Michigan and it's amazing. Kind of free style word association throwing in asides from all over the place. It's fascinating to watch That's how I felt watching him in the run-up to 2016. To me his speeches & rallies seemed to have a lot more ener...

Wow, the Aragon. I saw them literally 2 blocks away at the Riv back in 1999.

Going.

Figured someone might get a kick out of this. Stumbled on a clip of people dancing to This Corrosion on a show called Club MTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeLTle8fYns Seeing more than 1 person in a red tank top & stonewashed jeans dancing to the sisters amused me, I can't lie.

Hey there, off & on longtime lurker, but figured I'd finally create an account. I'm not necessarily a big Pitchfork fan, but they've just reviewed Floodland, if anyone's interested. They even brought up the David Bowie interview from the mid 90's, among other things: https://pitchfork.com/review...
