Watching "Nostradamus: 2012" is really scaring the daylights out of me. December 21, 2012 seems to be coming really quick, which may suck if these people and ancient cultures are right.

On a lighter note, Fake Problems have two songs posted on their Side One Dummy band page. These songs will be released on It's Great to Be Alive (odd due to the above post), which will be released on February 17. They're shooting a video for "The Dream Team" (which will also be available on a 7" which is out on January 20) on January 10 and will be touring with Murder by Death soon.

Being sick the past two days (a great way to start the new year), and stuck in bed watching TV, I did get some musical insight. Pete Seeger was probably the first straight edge musician, stating in the DVD documentary "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" that he didn't drink or smoke. He also quit the uber popular folk quartet The Weavers because they were going to do a cigarette commercial because "they needed the money." He said that he "didn't need the money that bad" and left the band.
Also, Alice Cooper is one of the most enjoyable interviewees. Watching an E True Hollywood Story about the wives of musicians, Cooper was talking about divorce, making fun of musicians that get confused when they get divorced from their fourth stripper, by saying "What'd you expect, she's a stripper?"

To celebrate 20 years of being a band, the Bouncing Souls are releasing their song a month album, which is a pretty unique way to release music. The first song, "Gasoline," has already hit the internet, available for a $.99 download. I'd suggest paying the $11.99 up front to get all twelve songs (which will be released the first of each month), and then four bonus tracks at the end of the year. I look forward to seeing how this experiment turns out.
