Friday follies

• Part 2 of that Rolling Stone record industry story has been posted here.

• The Foo Fighters played a secret show at a dive bar in Southern California last evening as a warmup for their opening slot at the Police show this weekend. One new song was played - " Cheer Up, Boys, Your Make-up's Running". Video was taken at the show, and it should be out and about this weekend. Reports from the show have stated that everyone but Chris appears to be involved in a beard growing contest. I hope they aren't turning into the Eagles.

• Are you ready for a rip snortin' humdinger?

• Pumpkins news - this is just lame.
