Since music is a popular topic here at SC...

The unthinkable has happened. *Your favorite band has decided to go in a completely different direction musically with their latest album. Like if Slayer decided to go country, or Britney Spears went and recorded a full-blown jazz album. Your mission in this CC is to chronicle it, i.e. a Behind the Music-type special, news report, album review, concert review, or even just a couple of fans venting over how horrible the new album is.

The Rules :
No Photoshopped entries.
Series are most certainly acceptable, in fact a series may be the best route to go with a subject like this, though it's not required.
No limit on number of entries.
New comics only.

Judging in about a week or so, to be extended if needed.

* = entries do NOT necessarily have to be about YOUR fav band/artist, you can pick ANY band/artist.

Ready? GO!

We are here live with Fred Durst for the unveiling of Limp Bizkit's brand new album! Yo. Now, I understand things are a bit different this time. Care to explain? Yeah, man.

CC 244: Shag-adelic by umfumdisi 5-12-04

We now interrupt "Who Wants To Makeover My Queer Millionaire Bachelor?" for this special bulletin... Good evening. You folks may want to sit down for this news. Today, the Rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony announced that they are reuniting. Also, they are changing their sound and creating a new musical genre in the process... They call it, "Carpetgazing." They describe the sound as "slower and more forlorn than 'Shoegazing.'" They have abandoned their thuggish ways and announced their new group name as Bare Rugs-N-Harmony. Also, the members have changed their names from Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, Layzie Bone, and Bizzy Bone to Bare Lee There, Bare-Assed, Bare Naked, Bare Lee Breathing, and Bare Bonez.

(We've only just beguuun...to liiiiive...white lace and promises...) Karen, I've decided to make a change in our musical direction. Really, Richard? How exciting. Can you see that I'm excited? Yes, Karen, I noticed the way that you suddenly moved your left nostril. (...a kiss for luck and we're oooon, our waaaaaaay...) Karen, I'm still talking to you.

CC 244: Top Of The World -- 2 by biped 5-13-04

(Hangin' arounnnd, nothin' to do but frooown, rainy days and Mondays always...) Karen, I've decided to destroy the world. Really, Richard? How would you do that? Oh, and...um...why? The world is a festering cesspool of violence and corruption. People are all inherently evil. They should be annihilated. Oh. Well, that's...(why do birds, suuuddenly appear...every time, you are neeear..) And we will use our music to facilitate the extinction of the entire human race, Karen. Karen?

CC 244: Top Of The World -- 3 by biped 5-13-04

I've been working on some brand new songs for you to sing, Karen...songs with hidden messages that will subliminally manipulate the minds of the listeners... (Siiing...sing a sooong...make it simple, to last your whole life loooong...) Here, try this one out...just make up a tune for now... Okay, Richard... sounds like fun...let's see...(Kiiill everyone, kill yourseeelves... impressionable youth, like happy little e-ee-elves...) Good, good...a little more up-tempo... (Shooot your neighbors, they are so baaad... merrilly waaaste...your mom and daaaad...)

The Cure by crabby 5-13-04

Touring just isn't spurring my creative juices anymore. Sure everyone loved the Greatest Hits album, sure it had two new songs. But that was 2001. People crave more. I'm letting everyone down. It's time to head back to the studio. We need to recreate some magic. We need to open the public's eyes. I need to get Dempsey on the phone. Things need to patched up with Lol. We can work things out.

The Curee by crabby 5-13-04

It's been awhile Lol. Too long man. Too long. I want to reunite the original line up. We need to get back to buisness. Were recording a new album and I need you to be a part of it. I'm in. You know I'm in. So buisness as usual then, back to our roots? I was thinking of something as a departure from the norm. You know, shake it up a bit. Ok, but if you wanna just jham at my place and cry all night, I kept that blanky you love so much.

The Cureee by crabby 5-13-04

If it's not a problem I've asked Steve Perry to join us for this album. I've never been a big Journey fan, but, if thats what you feel we need to do, I'm in. He won't actually be joining us in studio. Are we just going to be mixing tapes he sends in or what? The entire album will be taped via telephone. I don't understand.

The Cureeee by crabby 5-13-04

Lol this is Robert. I need you to just hum into the phone. I haven't even picked up the receiver. Whats happening? I'm Robert Smith. Ok. humhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhumhum Thats all I need. You're contribution is finished.

The Cureeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Lol the album is finished! I'm glad I had so much to do with it. Your contribution was vital. You held it all together. You were my entire inspiration for this. Well... Steve Perry is dead.

The Cureeeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Lol are the rumors true. Is the original lineup of The Cure really in studio working on a new original album? The album is completed right now and it involved all the original members. Robert also added Steve Perry but he passed away. Other than the untimely passing of Steve Perry what stands out the most from your studio sessions? Actually, we never met in the studio. It was all recorded via telephone. In an interview with JET magazine Robert said the video has been completed. What can you tell us about the video? I wasn't involved with it in anyway. I didn't know it was being filmed at all.

The Cureeeeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Robert, I was doing an interview with Vibe magazine and they said you completed a video. It was supposed to be a surprise. I'm very excited about it. I haven't even heard the single. It's great I used an old favorite as the blue print. I'm really happy with it. Can I hear it? The video will be on TRL tommorow. I want you to watch it.

The Cureeeeeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Its the chill hour here an we jus chillin. chillin chillin. The beats are bangin! CAPRI SUN! word yo. Straight street. Cue card says New Cure Video. Yay.

The Cureeeeeeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Standing in the clouds with a flower in hand. Staring at the birds staring at the a clam. Looking down the petal at the kitty on the ground. I see his little nose but I don't hear a sound. I'm happy... I'm in love... I am the ice cream man... Serving the children. This is awesome!

The Cureeeeeeeeee by crabby 5-13-04

Robert, I don't understand. The video.... Did I mention Steve Perry was dead. You did. How'd he die anyway? I shoved his guitar up his ass and after tearing open his stomach I played a power ballad until all that was left of him was hair Why'd you do that? He just wasn't happy enough.

crabby, I am in awe.

Any Lol Tolhurst reference gives me a woody.

CC #224: Tom Green's Rise and Fall... Again by KamikazeBob 5-14-04

And in recent news, rap videos aren't considered music videos anymore. Instead, they're considered biographies. Indeed Tom. After over 517 rap videos that only show women, wine, and money, that isn't much for us to enjoy, but rather make us jealous. This just in, Tom Green has decided to start singing again, but instead he'll be doing rap and polka. Apparently he's going to sing about his guilty pleasures of udder sucking, bum rubbing, and testicle enjoying songs. In breaking news, Tom Green's new show "The New New Tom Green Show" has been cancelled yet again. There is also an animal peace group outside waiting to kick his butt rubbing ass.

CC #244: Jay-Z's Return by KamikazeBob 5-14-04

...so that was the second time I got herpes. Well it seems like you better chose you're hoes better, Tom. Blow me Diane. Oh, and in breaking news, it seems that Jay-Z is making a return! The legendary rapper decided to make a come back only 3 days after the last airing of his supposedly last music video. He states that "I'm coming back just like Jesus. 3 days later, 3 million richer. Instead I'm doing religious songs so dust ya shoulders off!" Sounds like bleshpamy to me Tom.

Finally tonight, Michael Jackson just wrapped a concert to raise money for his legal team, in which he performed nothing but Elton John songs. Indeed, it was a royally historic evening, as the King of Pop had never before covered the Queen of Pop. Let's take a look. Don't let your son go down on me...

CC #244: Jay-Z's Return (Refixed) by KamikazeBob 5-15-04

...so that was the second time I got crabs. Well it seems like you better chose you're hoes better, Tom. Blow me Diane. In breaking news, it seems that Jay-Z is making a return. The legendary rapper decided to make a come back only 3 days after the last airing of his supposedly last music video. He states that "I'm coming back just like Jesus. 3 days later, 3 million richer.
