For a while I've been trying to pitch an interview to former Ozzy guitarist Jake E. Lee.

Na afloop van een optreden mensen bekijken, ik blijf het grappig vinden. Als je van een positieve vibe houdt dan moet je eens gaan kijken na afloop van een Katzenjammerconcert: het is een stoet met vrolijke snoeten, uitzonderingen uiteraard daargelaten....
Aah, les chanteurs de folk barbus... Je les aime bien, mais qu'est-ce qu'ils peuvent être fatiguant parfois avec leurs trois accords de guitare et leurs histoires de solitude et de rendez-vous manqués. A ma décharge, il faut dire que de la folk pastorale réminiscente des années 1970, on s'en est pris plein les dents, si vous m'permettez l'expression. Vous avez sans doute entendu parler des Fleet Foxes, mais en tant qu'auditrice assidue d'un certain underground musical, j'peux vous dire que les barbus à guitare pullulent. Lire la suite...

Continuing their Spaceballs -like history of merchandising— KISS the Beach Towel! The Lunchbox! The Ketchup!…— KISS has announced a line of KISS Destroyer Beer & Wine (via BeerNews ).

It might surprise you that crappy novelty goods firm Kiss also have a band which puts out records from time to time. It's this endeavour which has led Paul Stanley to try and talk up a Lady GaGa duet : The frontman said that he wouldn't rule out a duet between the band and the 'Bad Romance' singer, and described her as "terrific". "Anything's possible," he told LA Weekly. "She's terrific, and it's not improbable." You'll note that this is a basic scientific fact - a situation could exist whereby Lady GaGa and Kiss were [...]

Kid Cudi hit up Conan last night to promote the second season of How To Make It In America and wowed the read-headed talk show host with his recently-purchased Back To The Future shoes — a pair of Nike Air Mags. Also the topic of conversation between the two: a male fan who rushed the stage in L.A. and planted a smooch on Cudder. "I was flattered," the rapper/actor said. "He could have stabbed me."
