Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tap-into-tomorrow dept.

Maximum Prophet noted that one of the most influential and loud rock bands in the history of music is coming back together to perform at Live Earth this summer. Yes, that's right Tap is Back. The article has some good news (a new single is coming) and some bad news... apparently Derek is in rehab for addiction to the Internet. Best wishes to him on his recovery- I'm sure it won't impact the performance... if Spinal Tap is anything, they are a band.

    So every star wars fan you've met prefixes every implausible sentence with "in the fictional star wars universe," ?

    Just sayin'.

    Awesome sets, I remember this one time, they had a detailed replica of the stones. It was over 18" tall! It was splendid.

    Live Earth is Al Gore's doing, right?

    Y'know, Al Gore, husband of Tipper Gore - the obsessive censorship advocate who, among other things, attempted to sue Jello Biafra, singer of the Dead Kennedys until the rest of the band sold the fuck out, into the ground?

    Tipper Gore, who's Parents' Music Resource Centre attempted to have heavy metal, hip hop and other records she didn't happen to like blacklisted?

    I wonder what Tipper thinks of "Blow Me (Like the Wind)"?

    Well, I'm off to listen to some Gorerotted before it's outlawed and we all have to listen to Christina Aguilera and James Blunt.

    Now, if the Rutles got back together that would be big news.

    They write their own songs, play their own instruments, record albums, and go on tour. They're a real band with a fake history.
