It's a rainy day here in New York, and my head is throbbing from some minor surgery. As an interesting side note, the fact that my head is wrapped in gauze went unnoticed by my co-workers, with one of them going so far as to say, "oh, I just thought that was an emo headband." That might be the funniest thing that anyone has ever said to me. And with that, here's your daily dose of what's going on:
Gym Class Heroes have collaborated with pop star Kelly Rowland, who in my world, is best known for getting taken out by my horror movie hero, Freddy Krueger. There will be a video for the song, which is called "Daylight."
In the "well, that didn't take long" department: Jonny Craig, who left Dance Gavin Dance earlier this month, after a less than stellar performance at the Saints & Sinners festival, has joined a new band, Emarosa, as singer.
Cobra Starship's headlining tour, dubbed the "Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour," and also featuring The Cab, Metro Station, and We The Kings has been announced. It kicks off November 16th, 2008 in Poughkeepsie, NY, and runs through early March, also wrapping up in New York. The full list of dates can be found here.
There are a bunch of new releases today: NOFX have They've Actually Gotten Worse Live, Taking Back Sunday is bringing the CD/DVD combo back with Louder Now: Part Two, and the trio of Fueled By Ramen re-releases from Paramore, Cute is What We Aim For, and Gym Class Heroes will be hitting stores today. Also of note: Anberlin's Lost Songs, Copeland's Dressed Up an In Line, and Nirvana's Unplugged in New York.
And that's what I have for you right now. I'm still a bit confused by the Fueled By Ramen re-releases -- considering Paramore is still on the Billboard 200 with the original release of Riot!, will they end up there for both versions? I guess we'll see....
