US metallers GWAR are making steady progress on their new studio album according to front man Oderus Urungus. The band are currently writing and practicing new material for the forthcoming thirteenth studio album.

The American Scene at their most sincere.

In between this and "Snoop Lion", the world of hip hop's been a bit out there lately... Lil' Wayne told Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9 that he would soon retire from music in order to focus on skating. He attributes this to his upcoming 30th birthday, saying as he has been rapping since he was eight years old, he has grown tired of it.
