Country File
Alright now! Reporting live from a secluded country retreat this weekend. Rocked out at the ever-awesome Montague Arms last night for the I Love NX showcase. Some not bad local bands, with a death metal finale "Big up the New Cross death metal scene!" Moved on to the even-more-ever-awesome Amersham Arms for the weekly Repertoire Dogs live set and a couple of jars of the black stuff. Long live New Cross.

Canada 2005
A Chimpomatic World Tour of Canada went unreported earlier this month, due to an utter lack of internet access - or shrapnel to operate a coin-op internet 'booth'. The situation has now been recified with a movies and snaps update to the surveillance page.

as we like to keep our fingers on the bleeding edge here at c'omatic, we thought it was time to point you to buddyhead's best and worst of 2004, which deploys the phrase "fucking weak" in a pretty satisfying fashion

GNR
this is popping up a lot… will believe it when we see it, obviously, but it would be cool… or at least interesting. mind you this "new" logo sucks.
"GUNS N' ROSES bassist Tommy Stinson has hinted to Creative Loafing magazine in Atlanta that the band will be doing some European dates this summer.
Asked about the current status of GUNS N' ROSES, Stinson said, "They're finishing up the mixing [of the new album] right now. Sorting out what songs are going on it and artwork and shit. And hopefully sooner than later, it'll come out. I understand there's probably some European dates booked in the summer. Hopefully, that'll happen and we'll get over there and do it. Once it gets going, it's a lot of fun. There's a lot of fuckin' work involved with getting it going, but once it is going, it's a lot of fun."
