L.A. Times: "Plenty of young side-stage acts were worth the gas prices to go there, but if this year's attendance figures were telling (down to 16,000 from 20,000 last year), it might behoove Warped's bookers to rethink what constitutes punk rock's elite in 2008." | Source ...

Summer isn't usually a great time for television, what with the networks putting on virtually nothing but reality shows, celebrity game shows and re-runs. But if you're a documentary fan, you may just have a reason to come back inside and plop down in front of the tube. Over on HBO, the pay cable network is running what its calling the summer of the documentary, with a new...

Power Pop : Not just an under-appreciated music genre, but the style that made up much of our college radio playlists. In the 1970s it was Big Star who pioneered the sound by combining the melody and harmony of the Beatles with the immediacy of The Who. Cheap Trick was perhaps its best proponent in the next decade, the 1980s. The below bands, most notably the Posies and Teenage Fanclub...

Germs get a new lead singer: "Nearly 30 years after the original Germs lead singer died of a drug overdose at the age of 21, the Los Angeles snot-punks have a new lead-singer: actor Shane West.

Eve's Plum Named for the actress that played the middle Brady sister , the New York band made two records for Sony in the mid-90s before calling it quits after failing to make a dent in the charts. The band's singer, Colleen Fitzpatrick, took a stab at a solo career under the name Vitamin C, but she too, came up short in terms of chart success...

It's hard to believe " The Real World " has been running on MTV for twenty seasons now. By our calculations, that's 153 cast members, 68 drunken blackouts, 39 hot tub makeouts and at least two intra-"Real World" marriages. The show may have started out as a soap opera populated by disparate personalities intent on changing roommate perceptions, but by season 5...

Elvis Presley's first LP spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard charts. Not too shabby considering his label cobbled together the album's 12 tracks from various sources in order to get it into stores quickly. But perhaps more iconic than the album's tracks themselves (which include "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Tutti Frutti") is its cover, a simple black and white portrait accompanied by hand-stenciled pink and green lettering...

"I'm not the same, the years have passed," Millencolin's singer and bassist Nikola Sarcevic proclaims on "Brand New Game," one of the better tracks on the band's seventh LP " Machine 15 " "It kind of scares me how it went so fast."

What the hell is going on around here? First, NOFX go and get a reality show , and then our head just about explodes when Audrina starts talking about the Alkaline Trio on the latest episode of "The Hills." What, like our Alkaline Trio? Oh right, she works at Epic Records (doing what exactly?), the band's new home. Weird, but great for the band, who no doubt leapt at the chance to: (a) insert a live performance...

Bob Mehr has a nice piece in the May 2008 issue of SPIN on one of YuppiePunk World HQ's all-time favorite bands, The Replacements.
