Real big roast at
Verizon
The Warped Tour lineup was missing
something this year -- ska. Although in the past the tour has usually featured
a wide range of genres, as the years go by it seems to be that rude boys
and girls are being left in the dust of the Warped caravan as ska bands
lose out to hardcore.
Akon's album has radio 'Locked
Up'
It's a shame how similar Houston's
two "urban" radio stations are. They constantly play the same songs within
five minutes of each other, and their joint playlist has to be shorter
than Carlos Beltran's All-Star Game workouts ? that is, before Ken Griffey
Jr. got injured.
'Anyone can play guitar'
At the Warped Tour a few weeks ago,
I was heading back to the Solid Skin Klothing booth after watching the
train wreck that was Juliette and The Licks when I stumbled upon a huge
line of autograph seekers for some lame pop-punk band. The band wasn't
even worth the sweat these people expelled under the hot sun, let alone
the time spent waiting for a meaningless signature. |
