News in brief
Entertainment Weekly just published Jack Black’s personal top 5 albums of all time (or of right now). See the 4/21 issue (p. 73) for the full hilarity. But here’s some of what Jack said to reporter Dan Snierson about his favorites:
1. The Bends by Radiohead: “The best band in the history of rock”
2. Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair: “So complex and delicious”
3. Freedom of Choice by Devo: “a genius theatrically” and “kick-ass tunes”
4. We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll by Black Sabbath: “This album is
a capsule of a romantic time when Satan was real”
5. Surfer Rosa by The Pixies: “so primal and original”
After the interview, Jack remembered AC/DC’s Back in Black: “It kicks all those albums’ asses” [thanks A.J.]
DJ Shadow is considering the Radiohead approach to media as he says on his website, djshadow.com.. The band are only mentioned once, but he’s still thinking of the boys. On the site, click FASTFORWARD, then it’s in Shadow’s Digest [thanks jack]
Check out a new site dedicated to the waste game, called www.waste-game-news.com, with news on the waste games.
Radiohead’s Street Spirit video came in fifth on VH1’s poll of the greatest vids. (ahead of thriller!!!) [thanks ben]
