Mamma Mia, This Article On “The Decline Of The Soundtrack” Has Some Major Problems
4:00 PM on Tue Aug 11 2009 by Maura
Today the fancypants Hollywood site The Wrap ran a lengthy piece on what author Dominic Patten saw as the demise of the soundtrack, using as evidence the weak performance of the Linkin Park-led tie-in album for Transformers 2; lousy sales for the 500 Days Of Summer soundtrack compared to Zach Braff’s Garden State juggernaut; the lack of soundtracks Bruno and Obsessed (the latter of which starred Beyoncé); and the generally crummy atmosphere for album sales this year. But despite having a bit of reportage and a few statistics sprinkled into its stew of bad news, the whole article felt kind of off to me. I asked Courtney Smith, a sometime music supervisor and writer for the music-in-movies blog The Playlist, what she thought of the piece. Our back-and-forth, after the jump. More »

Linkin Park Apparently Thinks Bret Michaels Was The Singer Of Guns N’ Roses
9:30 AM on Tue Aug 19 2008 by Maura
Mope-rockers Linkin Park’s show at Alpine Valley on Saturday night was notable because one of the dudes took a break from whining about the world and his place in it to tell the crowd that people shouldn’t always take themselves so seriously. The band then went on to don blond wigs (??) More »

The Half-Year In Review: Dave Grohl Owns Alt-Rock Airwaves (What Else Is New?)
10:00 AM on Thu Jul 17 2008 by Al Shipley
Many people find it hard to tell the great from the godawful when it comes to 21st-century mainstream rock. To help figure out which is which, here’s “Corporate Rock Still Sells,” where Al “GovernmentNames” Shipley examines what’s good, bad, and ugly in the world of rock and roll. This time around, he gives the year’s rock charts a midway-mark overview.
Chester Bennington Would Like Stop (Or Start) Those Velvet Revolver Rumors
11:00 AM on Mon Jun 16 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
All you gossiping fools saying that Chester Bennington is going to leave Linkin Park and join Velvet Revolver? He wants it to be made very clear that those rumors are just that, rumors. So stop spreading rumors about Chester Bennington, unknown people who were spreading those rumors. “It would be very uncomfortable for me to join that band because I’m friends with all of them, including Scott,” he told Kerrang! “If I was even going to do just one show, or record just one song with them, I’d have to know it was okay with my band, all those guys and Scott [Weiland] too.” It does seem odd that people would (allegedly, as I can’t find these rumors anywhere) think Chester would leave his cash cow to play with a past-its-prime act like Velvet Revolver, but then again, watching Slash work on a solo is probably a lot more fun than watching Mike Shinoda work on a rap.

Linkin Park Sacrifice Their Lives To Resurrect A Dying Sun

I still haven’t seen Sunshine (No. 23 on my queue, between Primer and MST3K: Ring Of Terror), but from the trailer alone I know Linkin Park’s new video for “Leave Out All The Rest” shamelessly swipes many of its visuals. More »

Active Rock Playlists Get Some Disturbing Shakeups
10:00 AM on Thu Apr 17 2008 by Al Shipley
Since many people find it hard to tell the great from the godawful when it comes to 21st-century mainstream rock, welcome to “Corporate Rock Still Sells,” where Al “GovernmentNames” Shipley examines what’s good, bad, and ugly in the world of Billboard’s rock charts. This time around he looks at the return of nu-metal in the guises of Disturbed and oddly rap-free rap-metal.
