Nirvana Drummer Forms New Band

No, this article in NME isn't from 1995 when Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl formed the Foo Fighters. The man who hammered the hides on Nirvana's debut album Bleach has formed a new band called Before Cars. Chad Channing is looking to find the same kind of post-Cobain success as Grohl. Not likely, but if you spend that much time around a genius like Kurt Cobain, you probably pick some things up. To summarize, here are the similarities:

  1. both were drummers for Nirvana,
  2. both have switched to vocal/guitar duties with their new band,
  3. both have first names containing exactly four letters (wow).


Alright, I'm trying to stretch this out so it's worthy of its own post, but that's failing, so I'll talk about Sir Elton John as well.

According to Entertainmentwise.com (via Rolling Stone), church leaders in Tobago are worried Sir Elton's appearance at the Plymouth Jazz Festival will spontaneously turn Tobagans gay. I'm not going to underestimate the influence and mystical powers of the man whose middle name is (apparently) Hercules, but, from personal experience, I cannot imagine they outweigh the mystical power of boobs.
