Yet Another Smiths Compilation
From the report: There's another Smiths greatest-hits album in the works; we'd say something about painting a vulgar picture, but that joke isn't funny anymore.
Kill the DJ: The Very Best of The Smiths arrives Oct. 7 from Rhino Records. It's the fifth greatest-hits disc from the indie-rock groundbreakers, who, oddly, only put out four studio albums. We'll leave it up to fans to decide if it's better than The Best of The Smiths, Vol. 1, The Best of The Smiths, Vol. 2, Singles or The Very Best of The Smiths.
Super-fans also have the option to buy it as a two-disc deluxe edition. The expanded set includes B-sides and oddities. The Smiths have only managed to mine that territory for a mere three compilations before this, Hatful of Hollow, The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs. See why that joke isn't funny anymore?
Kill the DJ: The Very Best of The Smiths' track listing is:
Disc One:
Hand In Glove
Reel Around The Fountain
This Charming Man
What Difference Does It Make

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

Footloose album in a whole new light
Doveman, aka Thomas Bartlett, has made a cover of the Footloose album in its entirety. But it won't have you kicking off your blue suede shoes. It's a hushed take on the 80s soundtrack inspired by quite a sad story. Bartlett's friend lost his sister about 20 years ago and he only knew her by her possessions. He was going through her things and found her Footloose tape. So he gave the lyrics to Bartlett (who had never heard any of the songs, apparently) and had him re-interpret the entire soundtrack to help him deal with his grief. What the two created is a masterpiece, in my opinion. You'll never listen to these songs the same way again. Doveman, aka Thomas Bartlett, has made a cover of the Footloose album in its entirety.

Rape of Love
Not wanting to be outdone by his band mate Brett Michaels, Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has finally found himself back in the spotlight. Only this time, its not in the best light. Rockett was arrested yesterday in Los Angeles on an outstanding warrant for allegedly raping someone in Mississippi. As shocking as it may be that a person wouldn’t want to have consensual sex with this aging, so-very-awesomely-named drummer for an 80’s hair band, Rikki Rapestt deserves whatever punishment is headed his way, if for no other reason than my having to look at this photo and imagine the nightmare scenario of him trying to drunkenly thrust himself upon somebody whilst slurring, “Come on, honey! I did the beats for ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’.” Not wanting to be outdone by his band mate Brett Michaels, Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has finally found himself back in the spotligh... more
