So, um, get excited?
Today in “seriously, you’ve got to be kidding… but, yeah, I guess it still sounds kind of cool” news: the once-insanely badass metal kingpins Metallica have teamed up and recorded a new album with alt-godfather and former frontman of the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed.

Thrash metal fans, rejoice! (There's gotta be a few still headbanging around.) After the Big Four of thrash--Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth--rocked Europe last year, concert promoters must have realized that there's still an audience for that brand of music. Thus the show will be brought to Indio California and will be held the Saturday after Coachella, which also takes place there,...

It's that time of year again when we show appreciation to the men who we owe our lives to. No, I am not talking about your future ex-husbands (you know I'm right, have you seen the divorce rates these days??), I am talking about your father!
