Vineland Festival Moved To 2009
The inaugural Vineland Festival, which was set to take place from August 8th to the10th in Vineland, New Jersey, has been moved back by a full year. According to Billboard.com, the festival’s producers moved the event to summer 2009 because of the overall festival traffic in the Northeast at that time.
Basically, since Coachella producers announced last week that they would be hosting a new summer festival called All Points West during the same dates at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, Vineland got the shaft. Either way, you can look forward to seeing Radiohead in New Jersey at some point this year.

Rivers Has Too Much Time, Ink
A few months ago, we reported that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was penning his memoirs, but now it appears he will be writing volumes of his life. The singer tells Gigwise.com that he has eight volumes sketched out and plans to release 1992 through 1994 first. However, he still plans to release a volume dedicated to his childhood, and even his parents’ childhood. So far, Rivers has not made a good record since 1996’s Pinkerton, nor has he signed a deal with publishers for his volumes.
Pats fans are smarter, classier, healthier than those in NY

Boston Herald columnist Jessica Heslam claims the stats don’t lie — New England Patriots fans are smarter, classier and healthier and own pricier homes than the riff-raff who root for the New York Giants — and now we’ve got the research to back it up.
Some 62 percent of Pats fans living in the Boston area earned a bachelor’s or postgraduate degree or have some higher-education experience, compared to 59 percent of Giants fans, according to the latest marketing data provided by the Nielsen Co., the TV ratings firm.
Likewise, 72 percent of Pats fans live in homes worth north of $200,000, compared to 63 percent of Giants yahoos. Pats fans drink Amstel Light, not Bud Light. Giants fans slug back lots of whiskey. Bostonians are likely to read connoisseur magazines like Wine Spectator. Gotham fans like to pig out on junk food like pretzels, chips and nuts. When Giants fans aren’t booing Giants coach Tom Coughlin or punk quarterback Eli Manning in that New Jersey stadium they call home, they’re out practicing their tennis backhands in the backyard.

Led Zeppelin
Have you seen Jimmy Page has said today that if a tour is happening it ain’t gonna be till at least September cos Robert Plant keeps extending his tour with Alison Kraus! Surely time is running out, they ain’t getting any younger. I was lucky enough to see Led Zep at the O2 show in London, but since I came here I was really hoping for an MSG. Come on Robert!!! The other three quaters of the band wanna do it.
In other Zeppelin news I see John Paul Jones is conducting the orchestra Foo Fighters are playing with at the Grammys. That should be cool.
A woman put a post online to find a hitman to kill another chick.
These people are crazy!!!!!!
I like reading things like this because it makes me feel NORMAL!

Has he not heard of shrinkage?
This silly duffa must be insane.
I don’t understand how these sort of things can make the Guinness World Records .
Surely they need to start clamping down.
I remember they did a TV show which was branded Guinness World Records and the things they were doing were just stupid. Like trying to balance an egg on your nose.
Meh…..

HEATH
While the rest of the world obsesses over whether or not he meant to kill himself, it never ceases to amaze me the way the media (papers mostly) paint a celebs death as such a “TRAGEDY” or words to that effect. While it is as is the loss of any human life, somehow we think it’s more “tragic” if the deceased was young, attractive and, rich and famous. That I think is sad.having said that I will offer my one Heath Ledger story. I didn’t know him, met him only once but saw him often, mostly walking around the village. One day over the summer I was walking my dog Lola down 6th avenue, Heath was walking along in the opposite direction, all by himself, just wearing sunglasses, and the typical quasi hipster downtown apparrel, white V neck Tshirt, some sort of hipster pants. Anyway as he passed me he sort of stepped on one of Lola’s paws, she yelped, and before I could even yell at him he put his hand on my shoulder and said ” aw sorry mate, he ok”?. Seeing as she was ok and never one to miss an opportunity to be a smart ass, I said “Yes Father Alex, she will live” (Father Alex the name of the character of the Priest he played in the horror bomb “The Order”) He kind of looked at me funny, trying to figure if I was being a jerk or not. I then said ” HEY F Roger Ebert, I loved it”….. He cracked up, gave me a huge smile, sort of waved at Lola who’s tail was wagging like a demented fur covered windmill, turned and went his way down 6th ave. Right then I could tell he was probably a really decent guy. Rest well “Father Alex”
That is all,
END TRANSMISSION!
