The Bravery has a new album coming out on December 1st and another song is available for download. That's what they say but I can't figure out how. The album is called Stir The Blood and the song is called The Spectator. If you figure out how to download it tell me!

Oh yeah, it's right here.

Last weekend Metric and Silversun Pickups played a secret party in SF at the legendary North Beach club Bimbos. 'Ding Dong' was the password. As usual Emily Haines stole the show, and hearts of every guy there.

Great time for all.

I guess militaries around the world use pigs, goats and monkeys to train medics. The practice is called 'trauma and chemical casualty training.' Training exercises include "shooting, stabbing, and burning live pigs; cutting goats' legs off with sharp shears; and poisoning monkeys with toxic chemicals," according to Alt Sounds.

I absolutely nothing on the topic and would never jump to conclusions, but supposedly new and more effective methods of training exist today, and all it takes is a push for militaries to adopt the technology. A group of artists have signed on to support the campaign. You can read more about it here.

Chester French have released the follow-up to their absolutely hilarious cover of Shakira's She Wolf.

This time around D.A. and Max covered Calle Ocho by Pitbull. They put some work into this video guys. D.A. notes "If you've been wondering what [we] do while we're not out on the road, this should give you a pretty good idea."

Check it out!

Bud and Eric and Rome will not be called Sublime anymore. After their one and only show (minus the pub gig under the S*blime name) at Smokeout a few weeks ago, the band will need to continue under a new name, according to a legal ruling issued this week.

The ruling cites the trademark and ownership of the band's name to founding member and principal songwriter Bradley Nowell, who requested the brand not continue under a band not containing himself. The family of bradley issued a statement stating "Prior to his untimely passing, both Bud and Eric acknowledged that Brad Nowell was the sole owner of the name Sublime."

The Los Angeles judge overseeing the case ruled a band using the "Sublime" name and trademark for live performances, recordings, or merchandise is not legal under trademark laws.

Looks so warm and oh so not something I want to be stuck inside. But funny none-the-less and quite a crafty little souvenir. Here is the OFFICIAL 'Weezer Snuggie' Infomercial.

Kings of Leon care about their image. They're dressed pretty sharply at every show. Considering you like flannel. The band has partnered with French designers Surface To Air on a small line that will not exactly be carried in 8,000 Target stores, but exclusively in a shop in Denmark.

The KOL flannel isn't cheap. The shirts will run up your tab by about 120 Euros each. Guess where the bandanas are priced? Full line here.
