Speaking of walking dead rock stars...
Velvet revolver ain't a bad record. I had a gift cert to burn at Borders this week, so I bought a copy of Contraband. I expected to be let down, an I was pleasantly surprised. Its pretty solid big dumb rock, with some great hooks. Its worth every nickel of the $12.99.
The jury is still out on the Beasties' To the Five Boroughs. Thanksfully, its not as dense as Hello Nasty, but it also hasn't grabbed me out of the box like any of their earlier shit. I don't think those cats will ever beat Paul's Boutique.
