I really liked it.  If you are interested in the settling of Orstraya, check out the book The Fatal Shore.

Apparently, Mike Watt is busy laying down bass tracks for the new Kelly Clarkson album:
 
 Former Minuteman, current Stooge, and all-around inspiring guy Mike Watt's most recent recording gig made us smile so much that we just had to share it. (And so did that picture!)
 
 Watt tells us that over the past two weeks, he spent a couple of days in the studio laying down bass tracks for Kelly Clarkson's new album. (That would be the follow-up to 2004's Breakaway--the one with "Since U Been Gone" on it.) He did such a good job of explaining it himself in the emails he sent to Pitchfork that we'll just let him do what he does best and spiel:
 
 "The producer/engineer David Kahne is an old friend, and that's why I was asked aboard, though the guitarist and co-songwriter, Jimmy Messer, knew all about my history and was very enthusiastic; he's a great cat. Actually, it was pretty interesting. I didn't [know] what to expect, but [Kahne] had me trying all kinds of tripping stuff. Altogether, I played on six [songs]. They were already recorded, and I was replacing and adding in bass.
 
 "Everyone there gave me much respect even with me being nervous, big time at first. I knew nothing of Kelly Clarkson before this but can tell you, in my opinion, that she can sing her ass off. Man, she's got pipes and goes for it. She also didn't have any airs or a big posse of sycophants and was just plain up-front people, which to me is very happening 'cause I ain't so used to all the fronting that can go [on] in some scenes.
 
 "It was a challenge too 'cause it was much different than where I've been with music, but different is good, especially when what the people involved wanted was to hear someone working a bass like they meant it, and that's where I've always tried to come from.
 
 "When [Clarkson] had to bail, she said to [Kahne], 'I think the old punk guy idea's a good one,' and we all laughed. It's just studio stuff, and I haven't been asked to be in any band for a gig or tour.

Good for him, I say. Anything that keeps Mike Watt able to continue his career as a professional musician is fine by me. And as far as pop tarts go, Kelly Clarkson isn't among the worst of the bunch.

Smartbomb kinda broke up a long time ago. They did a reunion show I want to say 2 years ago though when Ebo called it quits.
 
 
 GVSB did play in July for the Touch and Go! party in Chicago. I just wish they'd do something in DC!

the reunite of phish in the summer of '07, though i feel they'll only play their favorite venue, hampton roads, 'round here.

[taperkat]

whoever says DJ Shadow gets my vote.
 
 also, Chocolate Genius, but that's just because I miss the $400 bar tabs at Joe's Pub in NYC. (/sarcasm)

[El Jefe Design]

Saw the GVSB show in Chicago on my 30th birthday. They played ther V-Lux album straight through and then an additional two songs. Yeah, it was great but having seen them now 28 times over 15 years, you can never have too much GVSB.

apparently they claim it's 'too expensive' for them to tour north america and make money.
 it doesn't seem to be a problem for a lot of other bands with smaller followings.
