Taiwan Calls on Ozzy for UN Membership Effort |
|
If someone asked me last week to put "Taiwan," "United Nations" and "Ozzy Osbourne" into a sentence that made sense, I probably would have looked bewildered, stuttered and muttered something incoherent.

Gwen Stefani To Play Hongers
 The picture of Thrash metal band
Testament from the last post was a little menacing and needed to be taken off as soon as possible. Therefore, just FYI, Gwen Stefani will be playing a concert in Hong Kong at something called the Asia World Arena on August 16. Sounds MEGA. These days Gwen Stefani kinda sounds like Fergie which definitely sounds like shite. Tickets will be a million (HK) dollars and Dolce & Gabana sunglasses are mandatory. She has no dates on the mainland though, so un-moneyed fans here in Shangers are SOL. Head off to her
MySpace page to watch some videos of G.S. looking like a robot and to hear some new tracks of the lamentable 2006 release,
"The Sweet Escape." Also, scroll down and have a look at Nino out of Stuttgart who signed
her message board and for some reason left pictures of his dog for her.

Sound: New Releases June 19,

Other than a new White Stripes album, a pretty quiet week in album releases.
Unless you like Bon Jovi country records and bands that wear matching robes. |
