Merry Xmas And All That From All Of Us Here At The Rocktober.com Blog!!!And now, all the news and websites that I have piled up here that I haven't posted all month becuase I've been busy:
- Former No Limit Rapper Soulja Slim Shot Dead
A belated R.I.P. from all of us here at Rocktober.com - COURTNEY LOVE: A Remembrance
She's not dead, but her career is. Or so sayeth the above linked series of articles. - The Onion's Least Essential Albums of 2003
Required annual reading. - Backstreet Boys Inspired By Oprah To Hit Studio Again
How very un-rock n' roll. "We're gettin' the band back together, dude! Oprah says we need to spead the love!" - Jack White of The White Stripes Beats Up The Lead Singer of The Von Blondies
Maybe we'll get some garage rock dis records out of this. - Flavor Flav And Ecko Team Up For Talking Clock
- The Greatest Album Covers That Never Were
(did I post this one already-- I can't remember) - Famous Album Covers Re-Created With Legos

- Outsider In The Shaggs’ Unworldly Philosophy
Would you sit through a musical about The Shaggs? It played in L.A. earleir this month. It's kind of hard to fathom a musical about one of the (best) worst bands ever to record, but good on 'em for trying.
