The thing about being in a shitty economy is that bands have no desire to do a B-markets tour.

This is just a run out to Chicago to record. But Sacto, Laramie, ALBQ, and Reno are some pretty B markets. Where do you live?

Anyone heard of a band called Joystick? They're not together anymore but I just found their CD on amazon and bought it... pretty awesome stuff, you should check em out if you're into Belvedere and shit.

Screeching Weasel without Jughead is Ben Weasel solo.

Not a bad thing, but it should just say Ben.

Banal242 (March 24, 2009)

Screeching Weasel sells more tickets ala the new Sublime.

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

I understand your point, as you must understand mine.

I would still go, but it isn't SW

LinoleumMagazine (March 24, 2009)

I've never seen 'em. My friend just saw em in LA and said it was awesome.

And really it's all about the fucking Riverdales the next night!

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

Lower the expectations for The Riverdales. It was fun.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 24, 2009)

Yeah, but he only plays his own shit solo, not SW. So he's basically saying Ben Weasel, playing Screeching Weasel.

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

Yeah, that's because The All American Rejects have to tour too.

It's still odd=

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 24, 2009)

is dan vapid gonna be part of it?

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

I don't think ANY of the old SW dudes are playing these shows. It's just Ben.

bigmondo (March 24, 2009)

actually dan is playing on drums. he did in LA.

Spooky (March 24, 2009)

Definitely going. Why does everyone say Ben Weasel is such a dick though? I must have been under my rock.

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

He's always been a dick, look at any of his old MRR columns, his rants against the Larry Arms, the Queers song, the No Empathy song...

Should have gone with American Rubix cube.

So, why the fuck do people drive in the fast lane going 60 mph?

Hey asshole, don't you see the line of cars passing you on the right?

My girlfriend does this all the time.

I slap her.

LinoleumMagazine (March 24, 2009)

with your dick?

deadXlast (March 24, 2009)

Whatever is closest to her face.

clamXtears (March 24, 2009)

So you slap her with my dick?

Dante3000 (rich) (March 24, 2009)

Are you posting from your car? That's unsafe/impressive. I don't know if I should scorn or swoon.

LinoleumMagazine (March 24, 2009)

No, I'm at work. Just remembering the pleasant drive I had getting here.

BarleyPat (March 24, 2009)

Also annoying:

People who stand in the "walk" section of the moving sidewalks at airports. They need to be Tanya Hardinged.

baldsteve (March 24, 2009)

Don't you mean 'Nancy Kerriganed'? Being Tanya Hardinged would just be getting banged out on amateur porn by a dude with a mustache named 'Galouli'

BarleyPat (March 25, 2009)

Yeah, I guess that would be the more appropriate name. But either one would be good as far as I am concerned.

LinoleumMagazine (March 24, 2009)

Well you know, they're tired from sitting on the plane for hours.

TheSandwiches (March 24, 2009)

This is awesome news... Stoked on material from all three bands...though still waiting on that Swingin' Utters Tribute update........

WAITING!

Listen to this guy or he's going to travel back in time and wipe me out.

BarleyPat (March 24, 2009)

I was just reading about that April Fool's day computer virus. People who design these viruses should be given a life sentence of hard labor and servitude for the people who's work they destroy. I'm not joking. No need for these scum to be running free in society ever again.

I agree. If you wanna fuck up my day, just rob me. Then at least you'll get something out of it besides the pleasure of fucking up my computer.

excited for more cobra skulls, hopefully in non-vinyl forms (i like cds!).

It's true. That Roastburger is awesome.

I would punch an autistic child for a new Cobra Skulls album.

telegraphrocks (March 24, 2009)

Really? Who actually gives themselves the nick-name Punk Rock Paul?
You really feel the need to include that you are punk rock? God fucking damnit!!!

I hate you so much.... mainly because my name is unfortunately Paul, and I'm guilty by name-association here.

Fuckin'.... goddamnit.

Anyway, punch a real retard, not a fake one.

New meat! New meat! New meat!

Knifetrader (March 24, 2009)

Punknews, Punknews, Punknews, you have to learn how to write Cobra Skull-News:

Cobra Skulls are on their Cobra-way to the Cobra-studio to begin recording their new Cobralbum. The Cobra has titled the record, CobrAmerican Skullicon and will be recording with Chicago uber-Cobra Matt Allison at CobrAtlas Skullios. They will be playing some Cobra-shows as they head to Chicago and you can check out the Cobra-tour dates here

And just to clarify, I love these guys and am superstoked about their new album ; I am just curious if they'll stick to the Cobra-song-titles, because I think they rule....

That would be Cobrawesome.

RedScare (March 24, 2009)

Heh heh, I think you're in for a real treat. A plot twist, if you will.

telegraphrocks (March 24, 2009)

Yeah, judging by some article I read, plus the 7-inch titles, I'm guessing they've dropped that shit.

However, I would've LOVED a song called Cobra Skull-Fuck!

IanIsSuperRad (March 24, 2009)

Talked to Matt from the Sidekicks last night. He said they plan on touring down the east coast and then out west this summer. Possibly with The Copyrights, although it's not confirmed.

Blackjaw_x (March 24, 2009)

The Sidekicks have the best lyrics. Check out the singer's solo stuff... about 9 songs recorded so far, all great.
