So did Live Earth do anything for anyone? I'll tell you what pissed me off -- all the idiots in NEW JERSEY who kept pretending like they were in NEW YORK. "What's up New Yooooorrrk!!!" was the greeting every shmuck onstage greeted the crowd with. Folks, give it the fuck up already. You're in New Jersey. Admit it. Embrace it. Stop trying to magically transport yourself to New York. What's wrong with Jersey, goddamnit?

AKRON, Ohio - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chrissie Hynde will open a vegetarian restaurant in her hometown late this summer. Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders, has decided to name the restaurant VegeTerranean. She will sing accompanied by an acoustic guitarist at a free concert at the grand opening of the restaurant on Sept. 15. The restaurant will feature a blend of Mediterranean and vegetarian cuisine. No meat will be served. Hynde lives in England but will partner with Dan Duplain, owner of Fedeli restaurant in downtown Canton, so that a local person will be involved permanently with the venture. |

According to the set times, I was supposed to be watching the Brazilian Girls, but the Cold War Kids are still onstage and they've confirmed my suspicion that the lead singer sounds like David Gray making out with Maroon 5. Also the band is highly unspectacular and more than a little annoying. Technology is wonderful.

| LOS ANGELES (Hooters) - Paris Hilton got her "Get Out of Jail Free" card today, courtesy of Los Angeles sheriff I. Tayke Bribes. After three long days in the slammer, Paris was freed on health concerns, namely a severe bout of moneytitus.
Paris was orderd to wear an electronic bracelet and to stay confined to her poolside where she will be limited to a diet of pink champagne and strawberries. The bracelet was rumored to be rimmed with diamonds and to flash to the words "being rich is so awesome." It is also said to match the diamond tiara that she was ordered to wear when sneaking out to dance in an LA disco. |

Boston based band Dispatch will reunite for three nights at MSG, in order to raise money for the poverty-stricken Zimbabwe. The three members of Dispatch became pioneers in the music industry in the early 90s without the assistance of a major record company. With an incredible word of mouth popularity that was built off of file sharing, Dispatch went to sell more than 600,000 of their self-released albums. In 2004, Dispatch called it quits and held one last show, which drew more than 110,000 fans from 25 countries. The three nights which are dubbed "Dispatch: Zimbabwe" - July 13th, 14th and 15th - sold out in a total of 90 minutes and made Dispatch the first independent band to headline and sell out MSG. A final handful of tickets are being released via Ticketmaster auctions benefiting THE DISPATCH FOUNDATION’s efforts in Zimbabwe. Auctions will open May 15 at 12:00PM EST and close May 31 at 12:00PM EST. |

Nothing is sacred in "Punk Rock Dad" as Jim lays out everything from tour, partying and crazed fans to the skills it takes to change a diaper and of course his unique take on childhood stories like Cinderella with great quotes such as "well, she was on crack" referring to his answer for why Cinderella couldn't buy a dress for the ball. |

| BRODY DALLE ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF NEW BAND ENTITLED SPINNERETTE
(Brody circa 2002) 
Brody has formed a new band called Spinnerette, who will begin recording their debut album in Los Angeles in 2007. Alain Johannes, who has worked with such as PJ Harvey, Eagles of Death Metal, Chris Cornell, and No Doubt, will produce and play on the album. After the release and touring cycle of The Distillers' third album and debut for Sire Records, Coral Fang, Dalle had written a batch of songs with plans to go back into the studio to record them for a future release. "But," Dalle reflects, "the songs seemed out of context and inappropriate for The Distillers. I felt ambivalent about sharing them with anyone." In 2005, Dalle became pregnant with her first child with husband and Queens of the Stone Age’s frontman Joshua Homme. After the birth of daughter Camille, Dalle is now excited to get back into the writing and recording process for Spinnerette. “Music is so much a part of who I am at my core,” she says. “I had been storing so many ideas, soaking up everything like a sponge. Now I’m working on some of the most articulate music and lyrics I’ve written.” In addition to Dalle and Johannes, Tony Bevilacqua (The Distillers) is also a member of Spinnerette. Dalle calls the new group “a band of gypsies” that she will not entertain comparisons to The Distillers. “Spinnerette gets a clean slate,” Dalle insists.” “She gets to start over and be the new kid in town, only she ain’t no kid. She’s quirky and sexy and she fucks around.” Dalle will say that the Distillers do still exist, “just not as you know it.” So why create a new band? “I’ve evolved,” she explains. “And musically speaking, there are other ways to get your point across. Before I had a baby, I felt 13 years old emotionally, constantly tortured by my own reactionary behavior. It's impossible for one to stay in this state and offer the world something more. I ain’t no teenage girl — have you seen my ass? It ain’t waif-ish!” spinnerettemusic.com Comment By: Birdman |

But when you go to Radio Shitty and ask to buy tickets, they look at you like you're a shmuck that just fell off the boat and inform you that they do not do venue presales.

Effective immediately, Manitoba's (yes, the bar owned by The Dictators' own Handsome Dick Manitoba) has been forced to stop all live performances due to a neighbor couple that seems to have ignored the fact they purchased their apartment at an extremely low price because they live directly above a Rock N Roll bar that features live music!! The bar had a hearing on Feb. 13 brought by complaints from the upstairs douchebags that have been harassing them. The bar lost but they're fighting back and are going to hit these assholes with a big lawsuit. Live music might return pending a legal hearing, but for the time being the bar must bring it all to a screeching halt. If you see their selfish neighbors, please feel free to throw eggs. But...YOU CAN HELP!! They need to find the dates of every day they've had shows there going back to September 2006...that way they can show that the bar's revenue is harmed by the lack of shows, etc. So, If your band has played Manitobas btw Sept. 2006 and Feb. 2007 send that information to Kevin at barflypro@netscape.net We dont believe the upstairs douchebags have a chance, but again if you played there during that time, You Can Help! Let's not lose another live venue, not to mention one of the best places in NYC for free punk shows. Dick's been a great supporter- lets support Him now. Comment By: ... Comment By: ...

| Frequently Asked Question: "Why, NYRockstars, surely you will be attending the Stooges show in New York City, right?!"
Standard Response: "Oh, you misguided children. We will not attend any Stooges concert in a venue that has seats. That is like eating soup with a fork." |

| I have decided that I hate the Blu-Ray Disc format. Can we spend any more money on technology? Is it possible? Sony complained that DVD players became "a commodity product" too soon, which made it hard to make a profit on their sales. Pause to play the world's smallest violin. The only new technology I want to read about is a hoverboard. Fxck Blu-Ray discs GIVE ME MY MOTHERFXCKING HOVERBOARD.

| I don't know why everyone's making such a fuss that Britney shaved her head. Maybe it's a good thing. Perhaps she's getting prepped for a brain transplant. |

| At a recent concert, Ricky Martin---who was a headliner at the 2001 inauguration ball for President George W. Bush---flipped the bird when he sang the president's name in his song "Asignatura Pendiente." Seems that the Iraq war changed Ricky's views on Dubya. Olé!

Paula Abdul tells US Weekly magazine that she's "never been drunk" and she's "never done recreational drugs." She then took two steps forward and two steps back, belched, and collapsed.

| So Ozzfest is reportedly going to be free this year. Sponsors will reportedly pick up all the costs. Water will be free, too, but you're going to have to fork up $800 every time you need to pee, even if it's right in the middle of the crowd and you tinkle on someone's leg. It'll cost you $800 regardless. Sharon WILL find you. On the upside, toilet paper is a bargain at $40 a square.
Watch the press conference here. |

| It's currently about 5 degrees in New York, with a wind-chill factor of about 200 below zero.
Message to God: Please boost the temperature by 10-20 degrees and I promise I'll never complain about it being too warm again. Amen. |

| Just got back from Southeast Asia (Cambodia/Laos). If you ever go there, be careful what you eat. Some of it gives you the runs and some of it makes you hallucinate. Other than that, the food's pretty good. |
