Adam and Jeremy: CBS/Nirvan Try to Kill Rock so Adam and Jeremy Decide to Name Drop

The most ironic aspect of the death of Rock n Roll is that is seems to happen every ten years or so... When Buddy Holly dies in a plane crash, when the Beatles break up, when Lynard Skynard's plane goes down, when a drummer chokes on his own vomit, when Kurt Cobain commits suicide, or when Limp Bizkit recorded Nookie. Obviously Rock N Roll has yet to die, no matter how hard the boys from Nickelback and Hinder try, and so this latest death blow will undoubtedly not turn out as bad as it seems right now, but when Adam and Jeremy heard that the season premiere of Cold Case will feature 8 Nirvana songs, including Lithium and Heart Shaped Box, Our hearts sank and we threw up a little in our mouths. For generations licencing ones songs for commercial use has been the final signal that a band has completely sold out, and to see Nirvana doing it is even worse because they represented Rock N Roll for a whole generation... I know you purest will start yapping about the Buzz Cocks and Sonic Youth but lets be honest when people talk about grunge and alternative music they are talking about Nirvana (maybe Pearl Jam... but probably not.)

You can read the whole press release here on the futon critic website, but we can sum it up for you... CBS is excited about playing the 8 Nirvana songs during the season premiere of Cold Case (I know I don't actually watch TV, but did anyone else know this stupid show is going into its fourth season?) I need to take a shower to wash off all this disgusting capitalist corporate greed after reading that. Oh and yes I blame Courtney Love for this.

Adam and Jeremy Say: Danielson In Movie Adaptation Of Life

Here is the short version:

Back in high school and college I knew about the Danielson Familie, but I was never really into their scene so I never really knew much about them... all that has now changed. After hearing several stellar reviews and having several people tell me how Sufjan Stevens owes his creative life to the Daniel Smith; I decided I should check out Danielson: a Familie Movie.
For those of you new to this deal Daniel Smith was a Rutgers senior who created an art project that included he and his brothers and sisters playing music. This grew from project to band (Danielson) and then some... you can get a primer about the whole affair on the Wiki.
At any rate I loved the movie! I loved getting to see a truly original artist take such a great adventure. By the end of the movie I had this feeling like this was what it must feel like to be the Melvins... here is Daniel Smith who has this amazingly grand vision of music and art coming together to glorify God, and some people get it but not everyone, and then his story intertwines with Sufjan Stevens who eventually takes the ideas that Daniel Smith is using in his performance and puts them into his own act as he spring board from Danielson into his own successful solo career; effectively becoming... Nirvana.

"Did I Step On Your Trumpet" - Danielson
It was really cool to see all of this happening in real time. the Danielson Familie are like the Neil Young of Friend Rock... At any rate the movie is awesome and all should go see it... the music is also good so you should check that out as well... seriously go check out Daniel Smith's label Sounds Familyer or Sufjans label Asthmatic Kitty and amaze yourself by the sheer number of bands on said labels that you only know about because you read a review on Pitchfork or some other obnoxious indie blog.
