Nickelback
Ah, Twitter. Such a valuable tool for getting into low-grade flame wars. Just ask Nickelback and Atlanta Braves pitcher Peter Moylan who got into a tweet-fight a few days back.
Aaron collected their respective disses and turned them into a story which you can read over at Spinner by clicking here.

Elton John on Saturday night
There are a lot of songs about Friday. And Saturday. Not so many about Tuesday or Wednesday, though.
Sarah found that out when she composed the article Days Of Our Songs: Tunes To Get You Through The Week for Spinner last week.
The list, not coincidentally, takes readers through each day of the week in song form.

Cancer Bats... again
Risky Fuel readers will remember when we told them about how awesome Toronto hardcore band the Cancer Bats were transforming themselves into Bat Sabbath, a Black Sabbath cover band. Well, now we’ve got more news. Namely that Cancer Bats are totally going indie rock on their next album!
Psyche.
They aren’t really. But they ARE listening to a lot of Fleet Foxes for lyrical inspiration. At least lead singer Liam Cormier is. You can read the story Aaron wrote about it at Noisecreep, one of Risky Fuel’s new friends, by clicking here.

Peter Murphy
Peter Murphy’s a big deal. He was the lead singer for Bauhaus, he had that song “Cuts You Up” that basically ran the alternative nation back in the day, and Trent Reznor thinks he’s so The Man that the NINster covered The Normal’s “Warm Leatherette” with Murphy.
So Aaron was pretty psyched when he got to interview the dark musical legend last week. The result of the conversation, which features lots of Bauhaus bits, some catty Sisters Of Mercy jabs, talk of his cameo in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and a Stephenie Meyer zing, can be read over at Spinner by clicking here.
NOTE: Because Spinner Canada no longer exists I’ve unearthed this story here.

Cancer Bats
The Risky Fuel household thinks Cancer Bats rip pretty hard. We also think Black Sabbath rip pretty hard, too.
So in our minds, the idea of the Cancer Bats doing cover sets as Bat Sabbath, a Black Sabbath cover band, is sort of like a harmonious chocolate-and-peanut butter-type thing.
In fact, Aaron dug the idea so much that he went and interviewed Bat Sabbath/Cancer Bats lead singer Liam Cormier about the whole crazy idea for Hellbound, our friendly metalhead friend website. You can read more about Bat Sabbath by clicking here.
