Rob Zombie has put the finishing touches on The Sinister Urge, the follow-up to his 1999 album, American Music Made To Strip By. “I’m all done,” Zombie says of the release, due from Geffen Records October 30. Zombie tells LAUNCH that he took a completely different approach to this album compared to past efforts. “I tried to make a rock record that was like what I remember from the ’70s in the sense that it’s all live. We brought in an orchestra, horn sections, the whole thing, and did it all live. So it’s just a big giant record. Usually… Read more »

Timbaland is like an athlete who took his franchise team from lottery-pick status to a dynasty. After helping everyone from Nas to Nelly Furtado stay on people’s lips when they make requests to a DJ, Timbaland is bored. He needs new challenges and wants to start from scratch. “I’m tired of making hit songs,” lamented Tim, who said he’s the coach “Phil Jackson” of the studio. “I done made 20 #1 hit records. That’s old to me. Let somebody else go and do it. I gotta make records that mean something.” With the exception of a few of his friends… Read more »

Punk as an aid for getting in touch with one’s feelings has superseded the other modes evident at this year’s Warped Tour. As in their ordinary lives, these fans had too many options.

So most fans locked into a perambulatory pattern, meandering around the festival’s circular layout as the fairground grew dusty, then muddy, from the… Read more »
