New Gn'R, Michaels' "Rocket of Love"


Music blog Stereogum has living proof that not only does Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy exist, but it's also eight shades of terrible. As predicted. I listened to the title track, but couldn't get past that second song. I'm kinda more excited about my free Dr. Pepper, actually.

Now from the former Rocket Queen to current Rocket King... It appears that Poison's Bret Michaels has bought a Bentley off Roger Clemens, in order to help the disgraced pitcher pay off some legal bills. When Flava Flav buys a $4M forgiveness ring off Kobe, then we'll talk.

And though it wasn't posted yesterday, it should be noted that I managed a Bertie Higgins "Key Largo" reference into yesterday's column. Bertie's kid, DJ Dieselboy, is spinning tonight at the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. He's a huge deal in the drum and bass field, but has yet to write anything as sparkly and magical as "Key Largo."

Ok, off to the Ting Tings, who return to Great Scott as part of their "I'm sorry for choosing NYC over you" concert obligation. Funny though, as if the show a few months ago went as planned, there would be 30 people at Great Scott. Now it's way sold out. Good on them.
