Play Bad Music – Go To Jail

Federal authorities say they have arrested a blogger suspected of streaming songs from Guns N’ Roses unreleased album, “Chinese Democracy,” on his Web site.

FBI agents arrested 27-year-old Kevin Cogill this morning (Aug. 27) on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws. Federal authorities say Cogill posted nine unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs on Antiquiet.com in June. The songs were later removed but spread quickly across the Internet.

According to an arrest affidavit, Cogill admitted to agents that he posted the songs on his Web site.

“Chinese Democracy” has been in the works for more than a decade, with frontman Axl Rose the only remaining original member of the once mighty group. Rumblings that the album may finally be out this fall, possibly as a Best Buy exclusive, have not been confirmed by Guns N’ Roses or its management.

My Desk

This is usless I know but for bored people, here is a picture of my desk at work. I am counting the hours till Rock The Bayou.

Greetings from the new geek…

This is Molly, I’ll be posting on here now. If you want to get an idea who I am you can check out my website at FunnyHairpin.com. To get things rolling here’s one of my latest musical finds.

I just discovered Morningwood‘s new EP, Sugarbaby. It’s totally chick rock and I love it.

You may know their song “Nth Degree” from their last album, if nothing else you heard it on the Nissan commercial. I kinda liked the self-titled album, but I’m ADORING the new EP. Much more rock and way less schizophrenic.

Even better is the video, featuring a Muppet like you’ve never seen.

And if you’d prefer, there is a “clean” version. But who’d want that?

Steve Foley RIP

This sad news comes from Fivehundy in the forums
:
Steve Foley, best known as the drummer who replaced Chris Mars in The Replacements, died over the weekend of a prescription drug overdose. Foley also played drums in Tommy Stinson’s first post-Mats project, Bash and Pop, and several other Minneapolis bands, including Swing Set, Wheelo and The Overtones.

Butler Note: From everything I read about him, he seemed to have it together pretty well so this is a huge surprise to me and makes me extremely sad. The Bash and Pop record is one of my favorite records.
