The sequel to Bruce Almighty is due out this summer. It’s called Evan Almighty. It stars Steve Carell, as a congressman who has been approached by God to act as a modern day Noah and build an ark to save Earth’s animals from an upcoming flood. Watch the trailer now.
Epitaph has posted another mp3 from THE LOCUST’s new album.
New Erections hit stores last week, and you can check out some of the goodness now.
The video for the first single from HELLYEAH’s self-titled debut album, “You Wouldn’t Know” has made its way online. Enjoy the fist-pumping anthem below, and pick up the album April 10.
The good time rock and roll of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem couldn’t last forever. Web site sadkermit.com has unveiled their latest creation, a video of Kermit The Frog covering Nine Inch Nails’ classic “Hurt.” This probably isn’t officially sanctioned by the estate of Jim Henson, since I don’t remember Kermit shooting up on The Muppet Show back in the day. The Web site also features audio of a depressed Kermit covering Radiohead’s “Creep,” Elliot Smith’s “Twilight” and a take on the quintessential Kermit song called “The Rainbow Disconnection.” Poor little guy. It definitely isn’t easy being green.
It’s being reported that the Theatre of Living Arts (aka The TLA) in Philadelphia is getting an overhaul. It will now be named the Fillmore Philadelphia. This announcement comes around the same time that NYC’s Irving Plaza announced that it would be changing it’s name to The Fillmore NY.
To devotees of the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco, one of contemporary music’s most respected and enduring live concert venues, these traditions will seem familiar. So while it’s no easy task to improve upon the Theatre of Living Arts (TLA), Philadelphia music fans will undoubtedly appreciate the new traditions and aesthetic that will infuse the reconfigured club, which upon Todd Rundgren’s christening concert, will be known as The Fillmore Philadelphia.
Maybe they could further step up the nostaliga and get the Allman Brothers Band to play the first show? Nope? How about Todd Rundgren? Is he free? Cool! Book him! Full press release after the jump.

On a night when sleet and hail made crossing Manhattan streets a ten-minute excursion, and hidden puddles lurked at every street corner, the Bowery Ballroom was more inviting than ever. However, it was the epic set by BLACKFIELD and the emotional atmosphere it created that made me completely forget about the weather outside.
With a stomach full of baked ziti, a beer in my hand and soggy sneakers on my feet, (more…)
So about 10 I rolled into the venue and immediately thought something was weird about the place. Maxwell’s usually has a pretty chill indie rocker/punk kid kinda vibe to it. I was immediately greeted by a woman at the bar who was seconds away from a serious wardrobe malfunction laughing in a higher pitch than I usually like, having a good time with her friends. Now I’ve seen attractive women like this at Maxwell’s before but the reason this resonated with me more was she wasn’t heavily tatooed and she seemed to have a lot of clones as I made my way back toward the back room where the stage was.

Checkit! The pictures are pretty badass.
Even though French photographer Denis Darzacq create his picture series “La Chute” (The Fall) during the French riots of 2005.
Darzacq captured his subjects as they were in in mid-flight, almost like they are hovering above the ground. They reality is that they were just really well timed and left the models with some sore body parts once done.
