Punk Rock Pre-School Is A Thing And I Want To Go - MTV.

You have to go read the article, or at least see the really cool picture from the article that I wasn't able to post here.

So what exactly is Punk Rock Pre-School? Well, it’s basically a (lite) crash-course in the music business — mixed with all the usual fare kids learn before they head to kindergarten. Geller has written eight songs in total to teach the kids about everything from geography to currency.

CBGB?

About a week or so ago I was coming across stories that there are rumors of CBGB reopening, or something. It was all very mysterious and very vague, but it got my attention.

Now I’m reading that the CBGB brand was sold several months ago, and for now the new owners are keeping their identity a secret.

I am curious to see what comes of it. I can’t say it sounds promising, but some of my favorite bands started out there, and I hate the feeling I get when I think about it being gone.

Sid and Nancy Collector’s Edition Only on Blu-Ray?

Sid and Nancy 25^th Anniversary Collector’s Edition was released on December 27, 2011. When I heard this I was very disturbed to find that it seems to be only on Blu-Ray. But, after reading this review it sounds like the 1998 edition (Criterion Collection) has better special features.

I saw Sid and Nancy for the first time when I was 13 or 14 and it has been my favorite movie ever since. It was also the first DVD I bought when I got a computer that played DVDs, before I even had a DVD player for my TV. When I heard that this new edition was only on Blu-Ray, I actually started to think that I might have to get a Blu-Ray player just so I could see it. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that now.
