Pink Floyd. Just the name brings such a joy to me heart. I’m not one of those fans that gushes over the early Pink Floyd works, but I still love the band for the albums that I own and the spectacle of their live shows.

Even David Gilmour still brings a smile to my face every time I hear his voice in his solo work. It’s soothing, trippy rock & roll that just makes you feel good. You don’t have to be a drug user to enjoy Pink Floyd as a lot of people assume. You just have to be a person that enjoys great music. Pink Floyd are simply legends in rock and Converse knows that.

In celebration of 100 years of the Converse All Stars, Converse has been releasing special edition “Chucks” in all sorts of different flavors.

Just to piss off more people that hate FIFI LaRue for whatever reasons, here are some pics of the Gothic Killer Clown during filming of the upcoming documentary called “La La Land”, about the Hollywood movie and music scene. Fifi Larue and band are also working on their next album with a title of “The Clown Flu“, due out this fall.

Oh, and Fifi? I just thought of something for the future! A bubble helmet like an old-school astronaut wears. And then you could be the Gothic Killer Clown…From Outer Space! Sort of like evolving, ya know?

Saliva released Cinco Diablo back late last year and this is their new “single” How Could You. Also in the works is a reality show (As if we really needed another one). The show will follow them out on the touring circuit and show viewers another side of the band. A pilot has been shot but here are no further details at this time. Expect Saliva to make an announcement in the next few months. They began filming it back during the recording of the album. No other details are available on that but an announcement will surely come soon. Until then, enjoy the video.

Here is the new video from Rise Against titled Hero Of War. Many soldiers are returning from war with multiple problems that they need help with, to include mental health needs. More times than not they do not get the care they need and this sometimes leads to even more deterioration of their mental health. A simple message from Rise Against “Support The Troops: End The War”. Enjoy.

The last Shinedown video I saw I wasn’t really impressed with. Not that it was a bad video but the fact that Brent Smith seems to over-perform a bit in the video. Second Chance is a great song though. Here is the new video for the new “Single” and title track of the album The Sound Of Madness.
