• We spared you the sight of Gene Simmons’ bare ass, and instead wondered what the star of the latest sex tape scandal likes to play when he’s knockin’ boots. • Is a Billy Joel ticket really worth almost $10k? Is anything? • Walt Jabsco and Jello Biafra got robbed. • Some guy tried to unload his stupid huge record collection, and actually found a buyer. Or did he? • TVT Records shut down and Trent Reznor and his fans had something (semi-coherent) to say about it. • Alt-country survivor No Depression will finally close up shop after its next issue. • What we don’t need more of is Jimmy Iovine’s science. • DJ Steve Aoki launched a war of words between Urb, Pitchfork, Idolator’s commenters, and the city of Chicago. • Paramore is breaking up? Not just yet. • Spin had some things to say about some some New York combo called Vampire Weekend.
