Thank You for a Great Birthday
Thank you, everyone who made it out, for making Glorious Noise’s third anniversary party a complete success. Thanks to everyone who attended, we will be able to donate over $1,000 to the Elliott Smith Memorial Fund. None of this would have been possible without the selflessness of the three great bands who put on one hell of a show: The Millions, Riviera, and Quasar Wut-Wut. Each of the bands sounded great and poured their own spirits into the rock and roll punch bowl. What a fucking night!
CD Settlement
Payments will be mailed to Music Purchasers who filed valid claims beginning today in the Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust Litigation Settlement. Spend your $13.86 on a spool of blank cds and make copies of the Grey Album for all your friends.

This album got the full, front-page treatment on Glorious Noise: Trying to Listen to the Von Bondies.
Trying to Listen to the Von Bondies
It’s a sad day in the struggle of music lovers against the control freaks who run the major record labels. For the first time in my experience, I wasn’t able to use my beloved EAC to copy the contents of a copy-protected cd to my computer. EAC, the world’s premier audio extractor, chugged and chugged and tried desperately to extract the contents of the Von Bondies major label debut for me, but alas, it just couldn’t do it.
