+ HOWL is now available for download. Check it out. I'm hoping that someday Empires will actually, you know, get signed and tour and play shows outside Chicago.

+ We are camping at Bonnaroo. Seriously, with sleeping bags and tent and all. Only for Pearl Jam and Metallica, you guys. No other reason.

+ Miser's new album is available starting today also.

Dear Miser,

I'm sure the rest of your album is awesome, but is there a reason you released a cover of Zombie as the first single? Because a) your voice, so not as good as Dolores O'Riordan's and b) the bass is not powerful enough in your version. Lack of one could be overcome by presence of the other. Lack of both? Makes the song less persuasive.

It's possible that I'm biased, because Zombie is one of the Cranberries' Best Songs Ever.

Waffling about seeing your live show,
Me
