After years of rumors I have come across the truth from an anoymous source. Here folks, is the shocking truth about the death of Kurt Cobain:In January, 1994, Kurt Cobain, in a drug-fueled rage, killed Courtney Love. He checked into rehab to avoid suspicion, but once the cops were on to him, he fled. He tried to get a reservation in the Chelsea hotel, but he was booked. With private eyes chasin...

Lou Reed released a revolutionary album in 1975. Though not widely appreciated at the time, Metal Machine Music has since been hailed in avant-garde and noise enthusiast circles as a monumental sound experiment. The album has been deemed unlistenable even by its creator, so naturally a German contemporary chamber music orchestra has reinterpreted it, recorded it, and now released it. The per...

After my trip to Myanmar I've become a bigger supporter of the Second Amendment than ever. Government should fear the people, not the other way around. I have no idea how Lou feels about it but I know he's serious about liberty and human rights and is more than aware of the damage done to both by the Bush Regime.

I will be attending this show on April 20th in Northampton. I was wondering if any other MOGs were going? Or if anyone knew the buzz on what he's supposed to perform? All I read in articles and see in interviews is that "He'll be doing a short US east coast tour, then go back to Europe to perform Berlin." So I'm not sure what that means for his US tour. Can anyone help?
