Remember last week when I told you Amy Winehouse’s neat-o new party trick that involved snorting flaming vodka? It’s all the rage. Kids all over the world are trying the “Winehouse tooter” and having races to see who dies of alcohol poisoning vs. who erupts in a ball of fire from the inside out. It’s great! Frat parties have never been more exciting. Some sorority girl goes up in flames and they use the limp, lifeless body of an unlucky pledge to put out the flames.

Well, we have a party trick so horrifying that it makes shot-gunning a fifth of HRD through your sinuses seem like the preferable route. Chad Kroger of Nickelback… uhm… how to say this without getting fined by the FCC? You know that rumor about Marilyn Manson having ribs removed so that he could root around in his own undies like a pig looking for truffles? Apparently Chad Kroger can do that, and has done that for beer. For the time being, we will replace the offending word with “Cheney.” Kroger says, "I put my own “Cheney” in my mouth. I was 14 and much more flexible at the time. It was soft and required a lot of pulling. I really wanted that case of beer."

On the one hand I want to call BS, but doing that may cause Chad to prove it, which something that I was to see LESS than someone throwing a puppy in a chipper.

Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are set to headline this year’s Lollapalooza, according to the Chicago Tribune. The show will be held August 1-3 in the city’s Grant Park.

Old timers, don’t throw away that old gramophone just yet, because pretty soon you may have something new to play on it. Well, new old stuff. If you’re one of the Metallica faithful that started collecting their records on vinyl back in the day and have since played them so much that they sound like a garbage can being dragged behind a Big Wheel on a gravel road, you will soon be able to buy a replacement. Starting in April, Metallica will begin releasing their old catalogue.

A message on the web site, that I can only assume was written by Lars, says, "While we're finishing up the new album, we told the dudes at the record company we thought it might be cool to dust off the old tapes and get all retro with some vinyl re-releases... First up are the first two albums (duh!?), "Kill ?Em All" and "Ride the Lightning," coming out on April 15 in North America and pretty f--king close to that in the rest of the world".
