Born to Lose

Holy Historical Travesties, Batman! The legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios has closed, and it is being purchased by a movie production studio.
Finally! The fat, bloated, self-aggrandizing jackass known as Danzig will tour no more. Could this be the result of the time he got his ass knocked out for talking shit? Methinks so...
In strange news, the guitarist for Korn has found God (and apparently some sense) and is quitting the band.
As previously rumored, Son Volt are back together and recording an album, as well as prepping at 2-CD set of the bands classic cuts for Rhino Records.
In the continuing stream of unlikely bedfellows, Mike Patton is releasing a new album recorded with Bay Area turntablists the X-ecutioners.
The Arcade Fire have a video for the song "Wake Up" here.
The stills certainly reveal a certain creepiness, but the Interpol's video for "Evil" sounds vaguely like "Prison Sex" to me.
Fearless Freaks, the Flaming Lips documentary, has been pushed back to an early May release.
Mark Bolan lives again—at least on DVD. Born to Boogie, the 1972 film directed by Ringo Starr, is soon to be released, and will include live footage of T. Rex in all their glam-rock glory (including the help of piano player Elton John).
Queens of the Stone Age have cancelled the remainder of the European tour because singer Josh Homme has been coughing up blood. Yikes.
Occasionally, all you really need is a reminder of a hackneyed '80s sitcom to make you laugh, but the outstanding stupidity of fellow humans helps.
