Music: Give up hope: The Velvet Underground aren’t gonna reunite

  • It’s not something that I can see happening on the basis of the past.
  • Velvet Underground bassist John Cale • On the possibility of the band reuniting. It’s something that won’t happen, among other reasons, because of the death of Sterling Morrison. “If I said that was something I was intrigued by,” he noted, “people would think I was cynical.” He noted that he only keeps in touch with surviving members Lou Reed and Maureen Tucker on a professional basis, because the Velvets are kind of a cash cow these days – something you can’t really say about them back in the day. source

Music: Chris Cornell, sensing a musical dead-end, reunites Soundgarden

  • Remember these guys? Of course you do. The first shot in the Grunge revolution, Soundgarden, plans to reunite in 2010, according to Billboard. And just in time, too. Lead singer Chris Cornell has had a post-Soundgarden career that’s among the worst in rock music, including these missteps:
  • moody Cornell’s first solo album, “Euphoria Morning,” was way closer to Jeff Buckley’s sound than Soundgarden.
  • super Cornell then turned most of the members of Rage Against the Machine into mush with Audioslave.
  • sleepy Cornell’s second solo disc, “Carry On,”  was worse than Audioslave and had a boring “Billie Jean” cover.
  • wtf?? Cornell then made “Scream,” one of 2009’s worst records, with Timbaland. Atone for your sins! source

Culture: Someone’s missing from this Saved by the Bell reunion

Screw it, might as well just have the reunion without the bastard. As you might notice from this "People" cover, Screech isn't in this Saved by the Bell reunion. And from the look of things, they've all aged well.

Music: Dear Blur: Welcome back. We missed you. <3 Damon & Graham

  • The Britpop icons made their live re-debut over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier clams. Sure, Gorillaz was good, but Blur is Blur. OK? source

Culture: Zack Morris is responsible for Jimmy Fallon’s best moment so far

  • Ahhhh, we needed a Zack attack. There are many awesome things about this video, but the best part was that Mark-Paul Gosselaar came up with the freaking idea himself. Beautiful. We hope the “Saved by the Bell” reunion lives up to the hype. source

Culture: The Saved By the Bell cast should reunite only under one condition

Whatever happens, Max, far left, must be included. He’s been put on the sidelines of SBTB for far too long and we’re not gonna take it anymore. source

  • marriage Meg White, the half of the White Stripes that only has one main gig, is getting married to fellow Detroit rock royalty – Jackson Smith, son of Patti Smith and Fred “Sonic” Smith (the late MC5 guitarist). White has been married once before – to the guy mentioned in the box to the right.
  • music Jack White, the half of the White Stripes that appears to always be working, recently noted in an interview that the band will be getting back together soon to record a new album, to come out next year. Good thing too – after their last tour went kaput, the band’s future seemed hazy.
