DiR reports: Silverstein's new CD ' Arrivals
and Departures' hits stores this week and celebrate we asked Shane to pick
his favorite five songs from the disc and tell us a little bit about each.
We'll be giving you Shane's picks all week. We kick off today with "Sound
of the Sun," here is Shane!
"I wrote the main riff of this song actually
a long time ago, maybe 2 years ago, but I was never really sure how to
put the rest of it together. It's funny, some songs write themselves and
only take an hour to finish, whereas some take so long, and you just keep
going back and changing them. This one took forever, but was actually the
first one I finished entirely for this record. It's also my favorite."
Listen to the song, learn more about the
group and grab their latest tour dates at the following link. And don't
forget to pick up a copy of "Arrivals and Departures"! -

on fire Thursday morning while the band was on their way to a show in Illinois.
The bus fire broke out at about 3:20am while traveling on the Pennsylvania
Turnpike after performing Wednesday night at the Cornerstone music festival
in Mount Union, Pa..

the bus driver yelled for them to get off the burning bus. Frontman Matt
Thiessen first spotted the flames and alerted the driver. No one was injured
but there was extensive damage to the bus and the group lost personal property
as well as instruments, sound equipment and merch. Thiessen told the local
press that he lost a laptop computer that contained approximately 100 unfinished
songs. - more

to Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives. She needed four stitches to
close her wound.

Hecklerspray reports: There's little over
a week to go until the Live Earth concerts take place - where Snow Patrol
will play Chasing Cars over and over again until the Sun vomits down itself,
thus cooling the Earth's climate by up to five degrees Celsius.
But some cynics are suggesting that Madonna
singing a song about climate change in an energy-gobbling sports stadium
full of people who shat out tons of carbon getting there while being broadcast
to billions of environment-slaughtering television sets might not be the
best way to stop the world from perishing in a whirlwind of fiery terror.
And that's why Al Gore has beefed-up Live Earth's credibility by asking
everyone to sign a special climate change pledge that will save the planet
via the power of woolly-worded vague promises about making the governments
of the world do stuff and stuff.- more

Blabbermouth reports: A 22-year-old man is
in critical condition after jumping from a bridge during SLAYER's headlining
show at the Metaltown festival in Gothenburg, Sweden late Saturday night
(June 30), according to GT.
The Göta-Älv bridge is located
just opposite the main stage and a lot of people stand on the bridge and
watch the performances from a distance.
SLAYER was about an hour into its show
when the 22-year-old man and a friend stripped down to their underwear.
As the crowd cheered on, the two counted down and were about to jump off
when one of them decided not to go through with the "joke" and watched
as his friend hurled himself from the 30-meter-high bridge. When the jumper
didn't resurface, his friend screamed that someone should call the emergency
number 112. The jumper was later found unconcious in the water and medical
personnel performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him. He was
rushed to the emergency room and is currently in critical condition.-
