We’ve never been a fan of the Burnlounge v.1.0 or 2.0 (aka the “pyramid scheme” versions in which “store owners” were bilked of hundreds of thousands of dollars that they’ve never recouped). We’ve been infiltrated by Kool-aid sippers repeatedly defending the illicit financial practices of the once-notorious (and we thought dismantled) pyramid scheme, several of whose “store owners” were the subject of successful lawsuits filed by the Federal Trade Commission. Their CEO resigned in disgrace. Their website has been down for months now and most people figured that was that. So what does Burnlounge have up their sleeve now? I guess we’ll have to wait and see when Burnlounge 3.0 is unveiled.
Uhh…what the hell? No other information is available right now.
We sure can’t wait to hear this one.
I don’t normally post these but this record actually isn’t too bad. I mean I probably wouldn’t buy it personally but you’ll probably dig it, right? I think Creaky Boards Coldplay have a fairly original take on music from time to time.

Someone at EMI is probably asking themselves right now, “What are we going to do?” That’s because their big cash cow, yet another hotly-anticipated Coldplay album entitled Viva La Vida has leaked well ahead of its June 17th release date. Undoubtedly scrambling to figure out what has created this chaos, the stockholders of EMI and their gaggle of employees probably wish to hell this hadn’t happened. As with the previous Coldplay album, sales of this record were (and still are) intended to boost EMI’s third-quarter 2008 profits sufficiently to maintain (or, as they would hope, grow) the company’s stock price.
No word on from whence the leak came or whether anyone at EMI is actually freaking out. However, the thought of dozens of stockholders simultaneously requesting a clean pair of underpants after hearing the news is equally repulsive and hilarious.
HEY! if you came here looking for a download link for the album, I can’t oblige you or encourage you. I can tell you I’ve heard the album, it’s worth waiting a couple of weeks to go and buy it. Since you’re already here, why not take a minute to browse through the other music and content of my site and download some legal mp3’s from other bands?
