Mouthing Off
I've had this song in my head for a few days now.
Pantera - Mouth For War
Shit gets my blood pumping. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go kick some fucking ass.

Rock & Repel
Town uses rock music to repel insects.
The huge flightless insects are a fearsome sight as they advance across the desert in armies of millions that march over, under or into anything in their way.
But the crickets don't much fancy Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones, the townspeople figured out three years ago. So next month, Tuscarorans are preparing once again to get out their extension cords, array their stereos in a quarter-circle and tune them to rock station KHIX, full blast, from dawn to dusk. "It is part of our arsenal," says Laura Moore, an unemployed college professor and one of the town's 13 residents.

The High Life
Rocker Steven Tyler's advice to men: "Don't get fuckin' married" and "Lie till you die." Sounds good to me. Although I'm a terrible liar.

Crystal Ball
Can this software predict the future of music?
Using data collected from Gnutella, the most popular peer-to-peer file-sharing network in the United States, Prof. Shavitt has developed a computer algorithm that can spot an emerging artist several weeks or months before national success hits. "Until now, talent scouts for record companies used instinct to predict the next rock personality. Our software has an astonishing success rate ― about 30%, and in some cases up to 50%. We've crossed a new frontier in the record business," he says.

Snake Bite
Another rocker objects to the McCain camp using his music:
The founding member of Whitesnake is objecting to John McCain's use of the hair-metal band's classic "Here I Go Again" during a campaign rally in Colorado on Tuesady.
"I must respectfully object to having my music misappropriated for a political campaign that I do not personally support," David Coverdale said in an e-mail statement to RAW STORY, after hearing the song at a McCain rally broadcast on CNN. "I am delighted to add that this election is my first voting experience as a brand new citizen of the United States of America... I voted for, & fully support, the Democratic representative, Senator Barak Obama, & believe in my heart & soul that he will best represent these United States in the most profound & fulfilling way."
