After having to replace a bassist (and brother) between their last two albums, the members of Chevelle were happy to have a drama-free interim leading up to their new "Sci-Fi Crimes."
If Céu had her way, everyone would be just a little bit lazier. The Brazilian singer/songwriter hails a life of leisure on her second studio album, "Vagarosa," released July 7 on Six Degrees Records. The album was inspired in part by her 10-month-old daughter, Rosa.
Thanks to tours with The Dead and the Allman Brothers Band, a new Gov't Mule album and tour and a planned solo album, Warren Haynes is having his busiest year ever -- and is enjoying it immensely.

One of the top games on Kongregate these days is
Punk-o-matic which even includes a Flash animated, R-rated comic with penguins
called ?Dude!? (Seriously, the words in the game are punky and raw: you?ve been
warned). Basically, you can choose drum, bass and guitar sounds to make your
own punk rock tune, not just as the spittin? leader of the band, but as the
player of all three instruments. Save your tracks, share them or delete them:
it?s up to you. The main thing about Punk-O-Matic is its
who-cares-I?ll-do-what-I-want attitude. Yeh, it?s an app more than a game. But
I?ll bet you have more fun playing this than with, say, a badly made clone of
Diner Dash.
