Looks like a Mash-up.... sounds like a split.
Oh Brentlee, you forget how little I truly care about gaming consoles. I hold no system higher than another. I enjoy both Xbox and Wii equally, however PS3's drive me nuts. Anyway, on to more important matters.
Bridge9 has a new vinyl up on their homepage. Looks to be an NFG/Shai Hulud split. It's titled "Not Without A Heart Once Nourished By Sticks And Stones Within Blood Ill-Tempered Misanthropy Pure Gold Can Stay-Limited Tour Split EP." Wow, that's a mouth full guys. You'd think that they would want it to be catchy, easy to just roll off your tougne. Oh well I'm going to call it "The Split," or the "NWAHONBSASWBITMPGCS Split." Nah it's still too long. I'm going to stick with "That flat round thing that plays music." Check it out at http://www.bridge9.com/.

From Xbox.com. Or as I like to call it, Mytoilet.com. Nintendo Forever! I'm sure Reidzor will have a relpy to this if he ever starts posting again.
Pop punk band New Found Glory have just released their sixth studio album, Not Without a Fight, and they're celebrating by playing WWE® Legends of WrestleMania® with Xbox LIVE® Gold members April 7.
If you're an Xbox LIVE Gold member (if not, upgrade now!), and you want a chance to play with New Found Glory, send a friend request to the following Gamertags and be online half an hour before (4:30 P.M. ET) the Game with Fame session starts on Tuesday, April 7, 5:00 P.M. ET.

Epitaph label owner Brett Gurewitz calls New Found Glory "the greatest pop-punk band in history," which is quite a claim, but fans of the band from their first 1999 album Nothing Gold Can Stay to their brand-new release, realize Gurewitz just might be right. Their sixth studio album, Not Without a Fight, released on March 10 of this year, and has already hit the top ten in the Billboard charts.

With the new album, the band seems to have found a new purpose, a new intent in their strong and powerful music. Guitarist Chad Gilbert says, "New Found Glory is back to where we want it to be: we tour, we play music and it's from the heart." And he continues, "Nobody in New Found Glory loves anything as much as this band. You fight with your mom. You don't hang out with her all the time. But you love her! You're never going to hate her. We're family. It might sound cliche, but that's what it is." That's almost certainly the reason the band has maintained their current lineup for over ten years. New Found Glory consists of Jordan Pundik (vocals), Chad Gilbert (guitar), Steven Klein (guitar), Ian Grushka (bass), and Cyrus Bolooki (drums).
If you get a chance to play with New Found Glory, we want to hear about it! Send us an e-mail with the subject: "GWF – New Found Glory." Be sure to include your Gamertag and home town.

A little birdie told me...
A rumor is floating around about a new ISHC album. Appearenly Chad said something about it. I still can't find his official statement, but if and when I do I will be sure to let everyone know about it. The rumor also says it will be a more serious album. Not sure exactly what that means. Hopefully more news will come soon enough. In the mean time I will be waiting for the NFG Snuggies to show up on the NFG stuff website.
I just can't stand the inconvievence of a normal blanket. I feel so helpless when I end up under one. Thank you Snuggies for making the world safer for cold people.

From the Campus Circle
The title of New Found Glory’s latest album, Not Without a Fight, can seem self-explanatory at first glance, but the meaning goes a little deeper than one might imagine.
“New Found Glory’s been a band for 12 years. The biggest dilemmas in our lives are trying to keep relationships and all the times we pretty much fail at it,” explains guitarist Chad Gilbert. “So it’s sort of a metaphor for our personal war and the wars that you have in relationships with your loved ones.”
While the band’s last full-length album, 2006’s Coming Home, was brimming with youthful optimism, current situations dictated a different response this time around.
“When we wrote Coming Home, we were in love,” says Gilbert. “I was engaged. Jordan [Pundik, vocalist] was engaged. Everyone was psyched, but then everything went 360.”
Both Gilbert and Pundik went through divorces, and Gilbert found the best way to express these emotions was to revisit the fast-paced style of the band’s earlier days.
“We had all these crazy things happening that we’d never faced before in our lives, so that’s why this record came out energetic,” he explains. “It wasn’t like, ‘Let’s sit around and write sappy songs.’ It was like, ‘Let’s sit around and write some songs where we can get this shit off our chests.’”
Yet while fans are quick to compare it to the group’s breakthrough Self-Titled release, Gilbert remains more than a little hesitant.
“It’s funny because to me it does not sound like Self-Titled,” Gilbert admits. “It doesn’t sound like Sticks and Stones. It doesn’t sound like Catalyst. It might take people a few months to realize it, but definitely this record is its own entity.”
Another factor in the change of pace was that the songs from Coming Home, which were the most mellow of New Found Glory’s career, simply were not as fun to play live.
“We wanted to play songs that would translate better live,” Gilbert explains. “We’re like, ‘Alright, let’s write some songs that live we’re going to have a blast playing that we know our fans are going to have a blast singing along to.’”
Meanwhile, relationships aren’t the only metaphor Fight represents. After Coming Home was released, the band found itself without a record label for the first time in its career, but the fight was far from over.
“When you want something bad enough in life you have to fight for it,” Gilbert says. “That’s like with our band. We love being in this band, and we’ll do whatever it takes to continue.”
That included recording Not Without a Fight sans a label and with little to no money. Fortunately, the band has friends in high places, like Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, who agreed to produce the disc at his home studio knowing the band was good for it. The pairing turned out to be a perfect fit.
“We definitely would joke around a lot in the studio. It was a blast,” Gilbert says. “Mark really helped us get back to the core of New Found Glory and the raw kind of energy.”
The group eventually found a new home in Epitaph Records, a place that genuinely cared about New found Glory and its music, and now it seems like the band’s story so far has come full circle.
“Every album New Found Glory’s released is different in its own way, and we’ll continue to keep people on their toes,” Gilbert explains. “When we write albums, whatever comes out, comes out. We’re always real, and I think that’s why we still have the fans we do.”
If that isn’t something worth fighting for, then what is?

5 days to go... ...Hoop there it is!
Only 5 days to the official release of the new album. I am pumped. I know alot of people feel like an album leaking ruins the fun. I have to disagree. I was super excited when the album leaked, and even more excited about the offical release day. I can't wait to get all my vinyls and my cd. I love being able to look at them and place them on the self next to all the over LPs I have. I really can't wait. I have been checking my mail twice every day hoping that the stuff will come early.

More Media Goodness.
Jordan did an interview with Gaby from Triple J while at the Sydney Soundwave Festival. He talks about working with Mark Hoppus, ISHC and the freedom that NFG felt while writing and recording this album. It's short, but chock full of gooie-NFG goodness.
Dinosaur popsicles and platypus gumdrops.
While perusing the board over at newfoundglorystuff.com I came across a live performance video of "Don't Let Her Pull You Down." It's not the best video/audio quality ever, but hey, it's a video of NFG playing live.... who cares how good the quality is? Any-who. Here it is....
Until I find more interesting stuff to post....Later!
