Now, I've never been one to believe that rock stars had to fit a certain mold. Rockstars come in many shapes and sizes with plenty of interests from politics to literature to drilling skanks on the snack table while snorting rails of printer toner. But I think I may have found the boundary of where promotional extra curriculars and rock credibility part ways.
Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has a clothing label called Clandestine Industries, which is fine. Other rockers have sold clothes, I'm OK with that. No, the twist that may push the boundaries of what the fan-base can throw devil horns up at is the material he wants to use. Apparently Pete is in talks with the creators of Seasame Street to see if they want to collaborate. He didn't detail what that means, but the only thing I can imagine is that he wants to make clothes out of Muppet fur.
He says, "I got the chance to meet with the Sesame Street peeps in New York. Talking about maybe doing a Clandestine Sesame Street collaboration. That would blow my mind as I grew up on all that. We'll see, nothing set in stone yet."
I'm mean I guess it could be kind of hardcore if you sold it as wearing Grover pelt or Elmo skin, but I can't see Seasame Street signing off on that. The other option is that he's making adult-sized kids clothes with Ernie and Bert an d Snuffy.
Rock band owners, aw you lucky, lucky sons a bitches. Not only do you get all those cool extra plastic instruments that let you play drums like Tommy Lee or bass like Flea or skin flute like Freddy Mercury... that's in the expansion set. But you also get all the kick ass downloadable content.
MTV announced last week that it will start selling albums for Rock Band starting with Judas Priest’s Screaming for Vengeance. Albums go for 15 dollars, or they can get individual songs for two bucks a piece. The album is available tomorrow for the Xbox and on Thursday for the Playstation. Future albums that will be available include Cars self-titled debut and
the Pixies’ Doolittle
