Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
Interscope (6/12/07)
Rock / Alternative
The latest Queens of the Stone Age disc was supposed to feature Trent Reznor, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, and Death From Above 1979 bassist Jesse Keeler. It resulted in a Tom Waits track being covered, with rumors of other individuals, such as deceased humorist [...]
So despite all of our spectacular technological advancements we have made as the human race, there are still two insurmountable barriers that make a complete f*cking mockery of our achievements.
The first would be religion, with the showcased idiocy regarding the Danes and their political cartoons boiling to an ugly head earlier this week when Islam [...]
Well, well, well, it\’s February already. The month of love, shitty weather and doldrums. Honestly, say what you want about Valentine\’s day, but this month belongs to the misanthrope. The miserable, maligned bastards who, for whatever reason, are just in a general shitty state of mind. Judging from the way a lot of my friends [...]
So I am back here, writing again. I tried to sneak away, but Bosses Gloomchen and Widro beat my knuckles to a bloody pulp with their rulers, and ran enough tasers through me to power an entire city block. I’m back, with the same salary as I had before, and I’m now out on the [...]
Well, last time we met was under unfortunate circumstances, at best. Pin wheeling is probably too kind a term to attribute to last week’s mess, so let’s just forget that 2 weeks ago never happened and just leave it at that.
I will say that my domestic problems have been a complete and utter pain in [...]

First of all, go here.
Once you have indulged in one of the best videos to have been released this year, you will then need to go and take a trip down Kinda Old Music Lane and pick up The Eels \”Hey Man, [...]
Well, well, well. Lots of things going on in Inside Pulse land. New format, a changing of the guard (somewhat) here in Music, which results in a perfect opportunity for yrs. truly to sneak in through the back door and LOWER the bar that Aaron, Jeff, Gloomchen et al. have raised substantially since I was [...]
Well kids, I’m back and a little tardy at that. Boring anecdotes about my life aside, let’s just say I’ve been a really busy beaver with a goddamned broken foot. And lots of tests and other duties. Missing these things by a day isn’t grounds for capital punishment, is it? Didn’t think so. Hopefully all [...]
Lately, it seems that being political has become the music cloak-de-jour for everyone to swathe themselves in. Be it artists such as Bruce Springsteen or Dave Grohl showing their support for presidential candidates at concerts and rallies, or albums from artists such as Steve Earle or NOFX, or even the efforts of certain individuals, such [...]
