On that list I'm most intrigued by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle.
On NEXT weeks list I'll be buying College Dropout by Kanye West and Probot. Can't wait!

I am looking forward to Shikasta's new CD. I got an email from Russ (lead singer) but he did not give me a release date. He did mention coming out to Edmonton at least twice this year, so that'll rock. www.shikasta.com --> band from Toronto, Canada |

The Kid gave it to Incubus pretty hard in an interview he did with Napalm Lex for an online zine called Metal Rage.
I can't say I'm a fan either, but the new single Megalomaniac is the most tolerable Incubus song I've yet heard.

Danko's answer to this question is a tad long, but it's a good read. He doesn't really slag Incubus' music, just their approach to putting it out. Same with Linkin Park.
Napalm Lex: Danko Jones will never have the famous story of a certain band that I won’t name here, that sign up with a major label, gets a shabby contract, and in the end become a band that complains about there label being rats, I gather...
Danko: Well here’s the thing, and I have little sympathy for bands who complain like that. And let’s just call it what it is, shall we. First of all, let’s take a band like Incubus. They signed with some big label, I don’t know which one. Guess what, Incubus are today one of the biggest bands in the world. And they were absolute nobodies when they signed their deal. It’s not like they put out two records on a small label. They weren’t on Relapse. They weren’t on Earache, or In The Red! They put their first record on a major label! And because of that, they became a very popular band all over the world. When they were nobodies, they signed a shitty contract for one reason, whether they admit it or not: they wanted to be big and famous. Guess what, they’re famous, and I’m sure they’re doing better then me and you. So they should shut the fuck up, and deal with the shitty contract they signed!! Because they were to stupid to read the fucking contract, and to fucking greedy to wait for something better! Or maybe, do it the old fashioned way like Danko Jones does and fucking EARN a good deal!!
When I heard about Incubus, that they where whining, complaining and taking their label to court, I gave them the middle fucking finger! And I hope the label screws them so hard! If you play with fire, man, you gonna get burnt! Incubus can suck my dick!! It’s like you ask to be rich and famous, you get what you want, and in the end you whine and complain about being ripped off! You’re nobody man!
I think major labels, for the most part, are evil. They fuck bands over, and fuck so many musicians around. But in this day in age, when the infrastructure for independent music is so tight… I mean, we get shit done so much, just by being on-line. We got the infrastructure to STAY independent, man. When you work with a major label, you better know what you’re doing, cause you’re playing with fire! We are on a major label here in Canada, but you think we gave them reigns of control? We signed a marketing and distribution deal, only in Canada. Witch allows us full control. We gave them out product, they don’t OWN our masters or publishings. We do. What we said to them was: ‘we got a record, do you wanna put it out?’ Because we were too busy to do it ourselves, just for Canada. If we were here all the time, we would never put it out independently. But as it is now, we’re busy all over the world, we haven’t got time for that in Canada. But in five years, we won’t complain if we get ripped off by Universal, if we’re as big as Avril Lavigne. You’re never gonna hear that from me.
Napalm Lex: Well, let’s change the subject to something happier, before we start to talk about Linkin Park…
Danko: Fuck Linkin Park too! Did you know that Linkin Park used to be called Hybrid Theory? Like their first album? Their manager made them change their name. Because, Linkin Park, in the record store would be racked next to Limp Bizkit.
Napalm Lex: Unbelievable a band could agree to that..
Danko: Well hey, man. It got them seven million sold. And look who they’ve been touring with last summer… (Metallica -red).

Thanks Tidy for sharing this ! I didn't know about this ...  Danko sounded really angry and rightfully so, being in the music industry he has dealt with all the shit and the snakes and stuff we can't even imagine, so his reason to be angry are legit when a band that had stuff made easy (or at least easier) start whining after they're famous. Because Danko Jones worked really hard to get to where they wanted to go ... Good reading indeed, Tidy, thank you  |

i cabt find anything from Gluecifer here in NL, and im so curious Just was at Fame-music (Amsterdam) this afternoon doing my weekly shopping & they had at least 3 Gluecifer CD's there! Didn't bought them so guess they're still there, but I bet they have them in Groningen (city) to Danko... I remember some nice record-stores there. Dunno if they still exist (must have been 10 years ago I've been there) |

You're damn right, Danko! I'm already ready for the next Danko Jones full-length! But alas, when I asked them about that for the Q&A this, as you might remember, was the response:
When can we expect the next Danko Jones record?
Tidyman
Danko: I wanna start on it now! I wanted to start on it the day after we finished "We Sweat Blood" but of course couldn't...I'm itching to start on it...probably by the winter of 2004...JC?
JC: 2005
