I got my issue of Blender Magazine in the mail today, and the headline reads "Top 100 Songs of 2004" and "Top 50 Albums of 2004". I was shocked to find that American Idiot got #68 on the top song list, Avril Lavigne even ranked higher with #62 and Britney Spears' Toxic was in the top 5! Green Day didn't even make it on the albums list. My question is, who the fuck is the genius that comes up with this list? What a fuckin' moron.

Anyway, some Green Day news. Tre will be on the cover of this month's Drum Magazine. Aussie fans get the pleasure of having Green Day come to their country in March, along with Simple Plan. More info here. If you would like the dates, I updated the tour page.

Someone asked me for a mp3 of Shout live. If you're that someone, please e-mail me. And if you want to see a more detailed picture of the action figures I talked about earlier, click here. Also, the webmaster of Green Day News sent in a picture of his action figures he got at the Summer Sonic festival in Japan in August. They look to be different then the ones I got, and they come in a full pack of three. Click here to view.
