Media Jackals
Call the media a bunch of jackals, but with every faux scandal, they look like half-crazed, starved jackals who will snap their jaws at any passing fly.

Social browser RockMelt comes to iPhone
RockMelt is a ridiculously cool web browser that features Facebook and Twitter integrations that allow for instant posting. But there’s so much more… It’s not perfect (there are Flash issues) but it gets better with every update. As I hate the Safari mobile web browser, I can’t wait to download this.

Practice recording for our new song “Post-Modern Love,” which I am hoping will be the opening track on our next CD. We’re heading to the studio May 8 to lay down the drums for six songs, and we should play all of them at our gig May 12 at Bruar Falls in Brooklyn (unconfirmed, unfortunately). Be gentle on the vocals for this one — we laid this down in our third hour of practice.

In the 90s it was Manson; now we have Gaga.
Lady Gaga is the female pop version of Marilyn Manson — a lot of shock for shock’s value with some substance; Manson offered angsty though often poignant social commentary on a number of issues (most notably the Columbine shootings — “Disposable Teens”) while Gaga has decided to stand up for gay rights (though there’s something sickeningly exploitative about “Born This Way”). Both delve in baiting religious zealots while claiming to be spiritual themselves. One writes watered-down industrial pop while the other puts out generic dance music. Both have pretty awesome stage shows.
I just thought Manson was more fun — his first album, “Portrait of an American Family,” has some awesome songs (and some absolutely filthy lyrics). Can’t wait for 15 years from now when Gaga is desperately trying to stay relevant.

Woo-hoo — Eula album release show on Saturday at Bruar Falls! With Shark?, Ghost Bunny and Pow Wow — all strongly recommended by your Libelous friends.
Mussels, Shoals and All
Among the many impressive acts at the Brain-Cave Festival at Shea Stadium on Saturday, I was really excited to see Mussels — friends had been talking them up for sometime and they exceeded expectations. Great stuff on MySpace.
