The Audio Perv says Goodbye

     In a move that caught me and probably most of the music blogging community by total surprise;  The Audio Perv a music news and video blog stopped posting on Dec 31^st of 2012.
    I was heading there to look for Morrissey's Letterman performance from this past Tuesday and there's this last post titled GOODBYE. The Audio Perv was a great source for TV music performance's and music news, it will be sorely missed. 

   One of the last live musical performance posts was Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie performing solo the track “Something’s Rattling” (Cowpoke) on Conan.

Fucked Up's GG Allin Tribute Song to Finally See the Light of Day

       Today Fucked Up's Damian Abraham Tweeted that he had did vocals for their long overdue GG Allin tribute track that is to be included on the 7" titled RATED GG. The 7" is also rumored to include "Cleaned Up" GG Allin tracks from BEN GIBBARD, TED LEO, MOUNTAIN GOATS, and TY SEGALL. This was/is supposed to be a benefit single for New Jersey freeform radio station WFMU home of the great Tom Scharpling…now this was last March so I don't know exactly how that all worked out…I just hope that the general public (us) get a chance to get our hands on a copy.

       

Also in his Tweet was a sweet little tidbit about him doing vocals for a Melvins Split …..now from what I have been able to find out about this is The Melvins instead of a normal 12" vinyl release of the Melvins "Sugar Daddy" LP, there is going to be 13 - 12" 45rpm records, each record will be favorites of the Melvins past/future*/present…..so Fucked Up are included in that. 

No release date for either has been confirmed
