    Looking for a reason to stay relevant enough to tour and make money, Poison is putting out an album of covers.  Needless to say, it will not be nearly as awesome as ‘Pin Ups.’  Anyway, some of the covers on the album are good choices.  The album will include “Suffragette City” by David Bowie, ‘Just…

    Again I fall prey to my weakness for cheap, trashy gossip blogs. I got this bit of sweet news from Gatecrasher via Gawker.

    Tickets for the High Line Festival went on sale yesterday. Those wanting to attend the performances will need to buy each ticket separately through Ticketbastard, erm, Ticketmaster. The prices for each performance are pretty reasonable, but be ready to fork out some extra cash for all of the extra charges that Ticketmaster lumps on top…

    For those of you, like me, who looked at the venue list for the High Line Festival and wondered to yourself, “This is scattered across multiple venues?
