  Manchester-born, East-London raised writer Iain Ellis, an English professor at KU for the past eight years, has just published a book you might be interested in. Out this past December 1, Rebels Wit Attitude: Subversive Rock Humorists, is a study of the funny side of rock rebels such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground, Warren Zevon, Randy Newman, Alice Cooper, Talking Heads, Ice T, Madonna, Weird Al, Nirvana and Beck, to name just a few of the people on the 350 pa

• None So Vile: The Wrath of Koktopus

  First Gornography, now Koktopus: Local metal acts really excel at turning two words into oneword. "I thought of the name as a joke," says Koktopus singer Fletch. "When we made up our minds that we were gonna roll with it and use it as some sort of mascot, we decided that the Koktopus needed to be a beast that was feared, like the Kraken or Godzilla. It had to be a brutal creature that created chaos and left destruction in its wake, the total opposite of a pussy." (This seems to make sense liter

• Sweet Jesus! Cowtown Ballroom documentary events tonight and tomorrow

  Because we ran a Night & Day blurb focusing on tonight's event, and Ink, I am told, ran a blurb focusing on tomorrow's party, I figured it'd be a good idea to set up a one-stop shop for all your Cowtown Ballroom...Sweet Jesus! needs. First of all, what is it? Well, it's a documentary, made by local filmmakers Joe Heyen (producer, director) and Tony Ladesich (director of photography, writer, editor) about the 1971-74 heyday of the Cowtown Ballroom, the (classic) rock venue that operated out of w

• Get Up Kids Apologize For Emo; Not Really

  In an interview with Drowned In Sound, Get Up Kid Jim Suptic has some things to say about the crop of bands spawned in their wake: ​"Honestly, I don't often think about the state of 'emo'. The punk scene we came out of and the punk scene now are completely different. It's like glam rock now. We played the Bamboozle fests this year and we felt really out of place. I could name maybe three bands we played with. It was just a sea of neon shirts to us. If this is the world we helped create, th

• Sony Charges Westboro Baptist Church With Copyright Infringement

  Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church, home of Pastor Fred Phelps and the "God Hates Fags Campaign," has been hit with copyright infringement from Sony/ATV Music. In a letter to the church, Sony lawyer Peter Brodsky states that a video on the church's website "constitutes a serious infringement of Sony's copyright." That video is "Hey Jews," the Beatles' hit written as a claim that the Jews are evil reprobates who killed Christ and have yet to repent. The letter from Brodsky goes on to paint "Hey J

• Alice Cooper, "Keepin' Halloween Alive"

  If ever there were a man who could claim to "keep Halloween alive, honey, 365," it'd be Alice Cooper. I'd no idea the man had anything new out, much less a perfectly suited song such as this. It's available for download on iTunes. If you download the song off iTunes, you get a "Cooperoke" version. Record a video of yourself singing the song and post it to YouTube, and you could win $1,000. Nice, eh? Entries due by 10pm Central Standard Time tomorrow. You can find all the info at the above lin

• Concert Review: Rob Zombie at the Uptown

  Ever since Rob Zombie left the Uptown's stage a few minutes after midnight this past Saturday, I've wondered whether I should unburden myself of a decades-old secret in this review. Maybe it was the way Zombie's show itself was sort of confusing -- one minute burning as fast and clean as the hot-rods he sings about, another watching Zombie shrug through a cover of a cover of a Eurythmics song for no discernible reason. Maybe it was all the porn. Rob Zombie has a lot of porn, and he wants to shar
