New York Times has a great story about Guns N Roses and the infamous “Chinese Democracy” album that has yet to be released. Here’s my favorite quote:

But Mr. Rose’s renewed energies were not being directed toward the finish line. He had the crew send him CD’s almost daily, sometimes with 16 or more takes of a musician performing his part of a single song. He accompanied Buckethead on a jaunt to Disneyland when the guitarist was drifting toward quitting, several people involved recalled; then Buckethead announced he would be more comfortable working inside a chicken coop, so one was built for him in the studio, from wood planks and chicken wire.

I know Bono wants to save the world and for that I love him. I’m not sure I’m really ready for him to head up the World Bank though.

That’s a little too strange, even for rock and/or roll. Though it would be cool if he and Alan Greenspan went on a world tour together, don’t you think?

The reknowned Memphis, TN recording studio went up in flames last Wednesday, taking with it a great deal of equipment and a number of master tapes. Reported to have been among the losses is the new Silver Jews album, which had arrived the same morning and was scheduled to have been mastered this weekend.

Some may have noticed it?s been a little quiet around here, no? Well I think it?s time to break the silence and let y?all know that we here at DoneWaiting are so shocked and stunned by the one-two punch of absolute crap albums released this week by J-Lo (I will never stop calling her that no matter how many times she asks me) and 50 Cent that we?ve been struck mostly speechless. Mostly.

In other music news?

Why has no one written about this?!
