It's Sunday October 22nd, 2006. I don't know about you, but this has been a remarkably depressing week, weather wise. We've had nothing but rain `round here. Of course, as far as I know Buffalo's still recovering from that freak snow storm and not even light has escaped from that area since more than a week ago. I guess they have it worse. We're just wet, not doomed like they are.

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

Dave Grohl's the man - always has been - and he proved it again this week. The frontman met with a mine collapse victim who requested Foo Fighters music to help him pass the time to his rescue. Of course he bought the beer. Against Me! have begun recording their major label debut with star producer Butch Vig. Two Gallants discussed their recent police incident while Fake Problems had one of their own. A ton of new recorded material arrived from some mega popular acts, as you could stream the new full length from My Chemical Romance, and preview new Nightmare Before Christmas covers from Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco. The latter act knows that they've made it when even their flippant remarks can cause a fervour, let alone yet another in a sea of reissues. We had news on a Sick Of It All tribute that will feature Rise Against, Kill Your Idols and Pennywise among others. Details were released on the next Smoke Or Fire release while the world got it's first taste of new Lifetime recordings. Topping this week off we had details on the soundtrack to video game Tony Hawk Project 8, which will see contributions from Bad Religion, the Ramones, Dead Milkmen, Zeke and many others.

This week our Video Of The Week featured footage of the Street Dogs and Bouncing Souls on stage as part of the Gold Tour. We previewed new music breakneck punk act Bullet Treatment, cover stars Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, and the aforementioned Street Dogs.
