Get It All Out of the Way

Please, please say it isn't so, Ted. Please?
"My wife and I are both going to be 35 this year. If we're going to have a family, the window is closing. Things are amazing right now, and I can justify keeping things going. But there's just so many bands out there. And since I've decided not to go the route of a bigger label and radio hits and all that, (quitting) is something I'm going to have to face."

A purportedly new Dredg song has appeared on Myspace, and yegads is it good.
The Cocteau Twins, whom some of you might remember as the band that had no lyrics, are reuniting to perform at this year's Cochella Festival in the hellish bowels of Indio, California.
The Stills have posted their video for "Love & Death" online, but I can give you the short rundown:
• Nerdy but adorably indie guy with Amish hair works in soulless corporate office environment.
• Nerdy guy with Amish hair has a crush on the foxy but bored receptionist with Ally-Sheedy-circa-The-Breakfast-Club hair who randomly attacks office equipment.
• Three bosses yell at Amish hair indie guy, two of whom explode into firey balls of singed hair.
• Artfully tousled band members play in stylish but subdued office environment. Drummer stabs symbols with drumsticks.
Two interesting pieces in the LA Weekly this week:
• An interview with Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel, about his new book, Collapse, about (what else?) the signs of imminent societal doom.
• An interview with Paul Westerberg, genius and former frontman of The 'Mats.
This should explain itself: "Practical Applications of the Philosopher's Stone. For drunks."
