motownphilly back again

random things before i move on to bigger and better things:

- in an interview with decoymusic.com, former further seems forever singer jason gleason says:

"Well Tooth And Nail is run by Satan, and that’s pretty much the reason. Myself, Bella, and Salvatore had the worst experience with that label."

- sleep station (who has recently been reincarnated as new london fire) has a very underrated album called "runaway elba-1," and the world needs to know.

- and yes, nas has signed to def jam, meaning that we'll see some awesome crossover guests on his next album that could include the most creative visionaries in the last 100 years: bon jovi, sum 41, fall out boy, joe budden, ja rule, ne-yo (wtf?), and the killers. ha! actually, given that dj premier has said in print that he will work on the next nas album, it'll probably be pretty good.

- finally, what's another release week without some shitty hardcore/metalcore/screamo/extream-o band releasing an unncessary reissue of a shitty album?

(from theprp.com):

"It Dies Today will be reissuing their latest effort "The Caitiff Choir" as a CD/DVD package through Trustkill on March 21st. The new version will feature the album remixed by producer Eric Rachel (Atreyu, God Forbid) and will also be remastered with all new artwork. In addition, the re-recorded versions of the material from their "Forever Scorned" EP will also be included, plus their cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence". Furthermore, the DVD portion will include the videos for the tracks "A Threnody For Modern Romance", "Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads" and "Enjoy The Silence", complete with behind the scenes footage of all 3 clips compiled by director Darren Doane."

somewhere, off in the distance, kerry king is wondering why he even bothers in the first place.
