On a side note, for those of you who haven’t heard Brand New’s Deja Entendu, do yourself a favor and purchase it now. It’s a record that will happily live in your iPods for a very long time.

Brand New has given us another masterpiece with their follow-up, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. The melodies are rich, the lyrics are deep, and the issues of life, death, suicide, faith, and love are written in blood all over the liner notes. Brand New takes the daunting task of natural progression and makes it look as easy as a walk in the park. There are a few spots toward the second half of the album where the momentum slows up a bit, but tracks like Jesus Christ and Sowing Season (Yeah) will definitely carry this alternative rock quartet back into the limelight, if the demons inside don’t get to them first.

Fear not Nightmare fans! The band has not disappeared. Having wrapped up their short touring stint on the West Coast and with only two more shows before the end of the year, Nightmare Of You has high hopes for the months ahead. Following their last show of the year (December 28th at The Crazy Donkey in Long Island with As Tall As Lions), Nightmare Of You is going back into the studio to record a new album, the follow-up to 2004’s self-titled debut recorded with producer Jason Lader.

While the lady avoided calling Chester, she did manage to call his wife Talinda to bark off threats. Apparently, this maniac thinks that she is more fit to be with Chester than Talinda is. Once the authorities were allowed to enter Devon's home, they found Linkin Park bootlegs, autographed memorabilia, pictures with Chester and photos jacked from Bennington family emails.

It's rumored that a psychological profile is being ran on this woman to question her sanity: not because of her actions, but because she still gives a shit about this group of rap-metal rejects. At the very least, she'll have 1 more autographed piece of memorabilia from Chester that's guaranteed to be unique: His signature on a restraining order!

The Darkness who wailed their way on to stereos across the world cracked the charts in 2003 when their single Growing On Me debuted at No 11. A few weeks later, their album Permission To Land went straight to number 2 before reaching the top spot, shifting 1.5 million copies in the UK alone. Justin Hawkins became well known for doing the best Freddie Mercury impression the world has ever seen, while wearing cat suits that made every heterosexual man cringe.

After their first album, they attempted to put out album number 2 One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back which was constantly being delayed due to what Hawkins was putting in his nose, and what he was washing it down with. The frontman had gone from a rockstar to a junkie in a matter of 2 years, blowing £150,000 on cocaine in a matter of 3 years, and pounding his liver with 4 day binges of constant vodka consumption. Just recently, the frontman entered rehab and retired as the lead singer of The Darkness.

I'd love to make fun of the guy, but he did enough on his own to warrant chuckles. He was a walking rock n' roll cliche: A "dark" band name, a high pitched vibrato, scraggly hair, a coke addiction, ridiculous outfits and fucked up tattoos! I wish him luck with his future scoring movies and I hope he and his girlfriend Sue can have a happy life. I just hope the guy stashed away a few bucks because once his girlfriend realizes he's an ugly has been without a penny to his name, he'll be all alone and on the streets begging bums for bumps. Congrats Justin Hawkins...You are Forgotten Frontman #1!

Pete Doherty who also moonlights as the lead singer of Babyshambles every once in a while, was released on bail on November 19th in London after the cops arrested him on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine. The on again-off again boyfriend of super sexy model Kate Moss was taken in after he was spotted driving his car erratically near his east London home.

Doherty was once known for making music, but now it seems as if he is following in Paris Hilton's footsteps by being more known for being a notorious idiot lacking the skills to do anything useful. This train wreck of a Kurt Cobain wannabe promised Kate that he'd clean up in order to get another piece of tail tonight, but we all know he'll be back out there filling his veins with crazy juice tomorrow.

Hey Pete...just a heads up: Kurt Cobain made some great music before he blasted himself. You'd better do the same (as I know you're capable of) before you OD, of you'll go down with deceased and forgotten rockers like Shannon Hoon. If you don't take my advice and you plan on OD'ing sometime soon, can you please send Kate Moss my way? I'm totally clean minus an occasional drink, my teeth aren't rotten and I'm much more handsome than you are. Thanks.
