We told you yesterday afternoon that Fat Wreck Chords' new imprint Bottles to The Ground released a label compilation called Bottle Music for Broken People featuring songs from Codefendants, Fishbone, The Meffs, Melvinator, The Skints, and more. We wrote about Fat Mike's contribution with his new project, Fat Mike Gets Strung Out, featuring frequent collaborator Baz The Frenchman on comp. closer "Total Bummer." Bottle Music for Broken People is now available digitally, as well as on limited edition 12-inch vinyl. The majority of the tracks featured are previously unreleased and many will, eventually, appear on upcoming Bottles to The Ground physical releases on either 10-inch or 12-inch vinyl. Bottle Music for Broken People gives fans the first cross-sectional look at what they can expect from the new label moving forward.

Speaking on Bottles to The Ground's first compilation release, Fat Mike shares, "we're trying out a new thing where we put a bunch of different songs by a bunch of different bands on the same record and see what happens." The release of the new collection is highlighted by the music video for brand new track from Ska Punk legends, Fishbone. The video for the new track, titled "All We Have Is Now," was directed by Chris Graue, who also directed The Bruce Lee Band's video for "Did You Find The Money Farm?" featuring Angelo Moore, and edited by Vincent Walker (Suburban Legends.) "All We Have Is Now" is the first Fishbone release with Chris Dowd back in the band since 1994. The current line-up features four of six original members, making this the first new song recording with these members in 29 years.

After years of touring and rotating members, 2023 finds Fishbone back to their most solid line-up, which includes original members, Angelo Moore (vocals/saxophone,) Chris Dowd (keys/vocals,) "Dirty" Walter A. Kibby, II (trumpet/vocals,) and Norwood Fisher (bass,) along with veteran Fishbone drummer John Steward and guitarist Mark Phillips. Speaking on their brand new track and accompanying music video, Norwood Fisher shares, "Fishbone & NOFX go waaaay back. We're in the mutual admiration club, great appreciation for our individual approaches to the music that we're known for. I don't remember exactly when Fatty [Fat Mike] first expressed interest in producing Fishbone, but it seems like it was a long time ago. A random encounter in a parking lot in more recent history lead to the current release."

"Mike's batsh*t crazy, but highly-functional with incredible integrity and follow-through; just right for Fishbone's batsh*t crazy, dysfunctional—yet this functional enough to make it this far—a$$es! It was a long time coming and we hope you love it, like we do. Enjoy, if you will..." With a new EP entirely recorded and produced by Fat Mike coming out on Bottles to The Ground later this year, Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne. No doubt they will continue to leave the audience wanting more and thinking more, leaving their mark and influence on younger bands and paving the foundation and legacy they have been laying down for decades. The Bottle Music for Broken People compilation is just the start for a stacked year of releases from Bottles to The Ground. Fans can look forward to more new music coming from Codefendants, Melvinator, The Meffs, Fishbone, Ras-1, Doom Scroll, Tommy & June (Yotam Ben Horin & John Carey,) and Fat Mike gets Strung Out over the coming months. Be sure to follow Bottles to The Ground on Instagram to keep up with all new and upcoming releases. Fishbone's "All We Have Is Now" is now available on streaming services through Bottles to The Ground.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
