Axl Rose speaks!

So goes the headline in this Karrang! interview. The best I’ve read so far. Axl opens up, and it’s a little sad if you ask me. Notice how the band goes thru real hard times songwriting after Izzy leaves.

A little too presumptious and heavy handed

That’s what Jon Bon Jovi said, on WMMR today, it would be if they attempted to write songs from the perspective of a widow. There *will* be music inspired by 9-11 on “Bounce”, their upcoming album. It’s more along the lines of dusting yourself off after taking a hit. Not an exact quote – but you get the idea.

I think you can get the feel by listening to “Everyday”, a new song from the album. It rocks. It’s an anthem.

Here goes news about this Thursday.

The Gone and Forgotten RSS Reader – Carmen’s Headline Viewer

Recently I reminiced about Carmen’s Headline Viewer. A really cool desktop RSS reader from back in the day (4-99 to 7-01!). Doesn’t work so well now that the spec has changed, and it’s no longer being updated. Booting it up, after so long, was rather surprising. For code that’s over a year old, it’s highly competitive. Update: Ben Hammersley remembers Headline Viewer in the Guardian. Thanks Shelley.
