For those of you who don't know who Max Weinberg be he is the drummer on the Conan O'Brian show and also the drummer for the boss Bruce Springsteen and he was born in the USA...i think. So anyways The Roots will be the house band for Jimmy Fallon's new late night tv show when he takes Conan O'Brien spot and Conan takes Jay Leno's spot next year. So this mean that The Roots will no longer be doing extensive tours if no tours at all. That is really hard to imagine cause Roots have been on one long tour since like pshh '96? ?uestlove the Roots' drummer says
"I don't know if I want to be 40, on the road and single no more," he said. "And with the kids my group has now getting older ... it's harder for the guys to leave more than it was when the kids were two and three. And I can't even start to go on that path till a woman takes me seriously. And ain't no one taking a man serious who is in his own home for only three months out the year. I been in my crib since 2006 and I still ain't unpacked everything yet."
I think this is a really good look for the Roots, there is definitely no band on late night tv like them, and I am looking forward to see what Jimmy would do in Conan's spot. Those are quite literally some large shoes to fill for Jimmy 1) cause Conan is like 6+ feet tall 2) Cause Conan is awesome. I am however a little scared for Conan. I don't know if his type of humor will go over too well in the new time slot, even though its an hour earlier it's a completely different audience.

Chi from Deftones health update

I just seen this in a myspace bulletin:
Hello Friends,

My apologies for the delay in updates. Chi's condition remains the same - serious, but stable. He still lies in a coma, however his vitals (heart, lungs, and blood pressure) all exhibit very stable functions and doctors have begun removing much of the excess monitoring equipment. Chi remains strong in his fight to recover.


Man I really hope he pulls through, he's been in a coma for weeks now, lets all pray for him

Don't Judge, indulge

If you know me you know I love Nine Inch Nails, so I found myself at work looking on youtube for show clips from their current tour. Then I had to stop cause I got mad cause I was 'sposed to go see them in Charlottesville earlier this month but didnt cause ITS A GAHT DAMN RECESSION GOING ON! But anyways I decided to post a video of the song "Echoplex" from The Slip their last musical effort with new material and as you can see the drumbeat in the beginning is made from a touchscreen, sweet.
