Monday Quick-Links

* Stereogum premiered a new Ted Leo and The Pharmacists video last week.

* The Black Dahlia Murder are getting all democratic and allowing fans to vote on their setlist. SMNnews recently asked vocalist Trevor Strnad some very personal questions.

* MetalKult.com talked to Nile. Nile's music? Not boring. Nile's interviews? Booooooring.

* Queens of the Stone Age were asked to play a gig at a rehab facility and shortly after they kicked into "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" they were asked to leave. I don't know who is dumber/funnier: the guy who booked Stephen Colbert for last year's White House Press Corps dinner or the guy who books Queens of the Stone Age to serenade a bunch of recovering addicts.

* Phil Anselmo is "the best front man in the world and [has] the best band behind [him] and [he's] the best at what [he] fuckin' [does]," according to... Phil Anselmo.

* Amazon has released an electronic book that allows on-demand downloads of books, magazines, newspapers, etc. It may not sound all that interesting-- until you read their descriptions and watch some of the videos. The question is, does this device have enough advantages over a computer (size, convenience, simplicity, etc.) to make it worth actually adding yet another device to your growing arsenal?
