Win a trip to LA, KYE hits #1, Spin Review

Apr. 30, 2009 / Comments

Hot Topic is having a contest to win a trip for 2 to see Green Day in Los Angeles in August. Winner will get 2 tickets to the show, round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and a meet and greet with the band. If you don't have a HT account, you'll need to create one here first.

In it's second week on the charts, "Know Your Enemy" officially took the #1 spot on Billboards Hot Modern Rock charts, moving up from #8. Yeah!!

Spin.com reviewed 21st Century Breakdown and gave it a 3 out 5 stars. They were a little more harsh than Rolling Stone, saying the new stuff didn't quite reach the level of American Idiot material, and the music seem stretched or contrived. I'm thinking the author, Steve Kandell, is maybe just having a fit with music, Dylan only gets 3 stars as well. Not bad company to be in I guess.

MAGNET magazine is asking what the most anticipated album of 2009 is. Visit this page and vote for "21st Century Breakdown".
