This past Tuesday Social Distortion released their seventh studio album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes on Epitaph Records. Started in 2006, it’s been over 4 long years getting this into the fans hands & into their ears. You can read all about that on the album’s Wikipedia article.

If you’re a Social Distortion fan, get this album! There’s a 11-track & 14-track deluxe version. You can get all the info about where to get it at Social Distortion’s website.

Public Image Limited was on Late Nite with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, May 17, 2010. They played “Bags”/”Chant” for the on air performance. Catch it here (skip to 35:40 in the video).

PiL did a web exclusive performance of “Public Image”:

Public Image Limited was at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on My 12, 2010. It was webcasted by NPR Music and a nifty little article was written about the band. Take it for what it’s worth. It seems to be written by someone without a fucking clue (as usual), leaving out a few facts that they tried to touch on and some misconstrued facts.

John Lydon - Public Image Limited - 05/12/2010 9:30 Club Washington, D.C.

But the gist of the article is that they played at the 9:30 Club & there’s a webcast that you can list to of the show (above the article).

I caught them last night at The Borgata’s The Music Box in Atlantic City. KILLER SHOW!

From Fox News’ Red Eye show on 04/09/2010. John talks about the death of Malcolm McLaren and the Public Image Limited reunion & North American tour.

I’m not going to say stupid shit like some other blogger did as to why John Lydon from Public Image Limited didn’t get the chance to do his interview with Jimmy Kimmel during the regular airing of the show on 04/07/2010. (To the blogger: Where did you pull that excuse from? Lydon was on Jimmy Kimmel already being interviewed on stage during the show’s normal airing with the Sex Pistols.) So they talked after the band performed (2 clips below the 2 songs)

“Rise”

“This Is Not A Love Song”

Here are 2 clips from the interview:

Lounge singer Richard Cheese, the swankiest one around, and his band, Lounge Against the Machine, are giving away FREE CD’s to active-duty military personnel & veterans since 2000. Today they updated their site saying that the demand is overwhelming and new requests may not be fulfilled because they will probably run out of CDs.

Operation Cheesey Freedom

Why are they doing this? They state that they are running out of space in their warehouse, so instead of trying to sell all of these unsold CDs, they thought they’d just give them away to the most deserving people they know: the fine men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Hurry up and get your order in! Supplies are very limited! All you need to do is follow the steps listed on Richard Cheese’s web site.

Thank you for serving to protect us & our country!
