Ben Gibbard says fans would be disappointed in anything new from The Postal Service

“Whatever we would make now would sound dramatically different than what we made 20 years ago, and I think it would be a disappointment even if we tried." Says Gibbard.

RIP to Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah Green, who has passed away from cancer at the age of 45.

I don’t know a way to ease into
this: Today we lost our dear friend
Jeremiah.
He laid down to rest
and simply faded out.
I’d like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people.

Please appreciate all the love you give,get, have given, and will get.
Above all, Jeremiah was about love.

We love you.

This is my father's guitar and the one that formed the love and desire that formed Guitar Tech Jim Martin at the age of 9. 1990 was the year, I spent every possible second playing this guitar, learning songs heard on The World Famous KROQ back in the 90's. We didnt have all the apps and websites back then. You listened to the radio and learned by ear.

Many happy returns to Rodney Bingenheimer (b. 1946)! Later a legendary disc jockey at The World Famous KROQ between 1976 and 2017, Bingenheimer was a stand-in for David Jones in Episode #21 of The Monkees television series, "The Prince And The Paupers" (#4733), and also doubled for Jones in many of his personal appearances.
“…For bands and Angelenos alike, the annual event is somewhat of a homecoming, the one holiday party to let it all hang out and enjoy some of the biggest hits by acts that have served as a soundtrack to so many lives…”
