New Guitar Hero game focused on Aerosmith is announced. I like the idea of a focus on a single band, but don't much care for alot of Aerosmith's music. Not sure if I'm going to buy this one.

I'd much rather have them focus on genres than bands. Guitar Hero: Country, Guitar Hero: Thrash, Guitar Hero: Gods (Vai, Satriani, etc)

Get sent to detention for intentional farting.

Imperial Bedrooms will be the title of the new Bret Easton Ellis novel.

While I've been a bit underwhelmed with Fred Thompson since he officially announced for President, this video message to Iowa voters just reinforces my good feelings about the guy. He seems like the kind of guy that could actually change politics for the better.

For too long now, politics has been on a descent into bitterness and anger between the two sides. A large portion of that descent is due to 'gotcha' type journalism that has spread down among the bloggers. Fred is the only candidate (on either side) that I think wouldn't let that kind of crap stand without a retort - something similar to what he did to Michael Moore.

The real reason Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica - he has worms.

Bill Walker is never going to live down the fact that he pissed into towels on the sideline of a basketball game. The signs that Big 12 fans are going to be holding up the rest of the year will be brutal.

Wal-Mart pulled Superbad DVDs from the shelves after the State complained that its cover might let kids make fake Hawaiian drivers licenses. Because those kids won't be smart enough to look at the sample licenses available directly from the City of Honolulu website.

Nebraska named a new football coach - Bo Pelini. He's probably as good as they could have hoped for. That program just doesn't have the shine that it used to.

Just look at all the stuff its responsible for.

Need a Christmas present idea for the family metalhead (except me)? There's always the Heavy Metal Box Set that comes in a box shaped like a little Marshall amp.

The set includes 4 discs with 70 tracks covering 1968-1991. The only down side is there looks to be too much hair metal (Lita Ford? Whitesnake?) mixed in.

An Oasis cover of Cum On Feel The Noize. Its about as sucky as I expected.

The Choke film is going to premiere at Sundance! Sam Rockwell was a great choice for this role, I hope the film is as true to the novel as Fight Club was.

Fred Thompson laid out his tax plan, and I'm liking it. The bottom line is lower taxes with a simplified tax structure to make everything easier to understand.

Even if Fred doesn't get the nomination, here's hoping that the other candidates cherry pick this idea from Fred.

Dave Mustaine - of Megadeth - has released his own blend of coffee. Yeah, really. You can order it here.

I have personally selected this coffee from thousands available worldwide. It is by far the best tasting coffee I have ever come across. This is the coffee that gets me up in the morning and keeps me shreddin' all day long. My coffee is grown by very small-scale farmers who practice age-old organic farming methods.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinks Boing Boing is sucking lately.
