“I fucking love my life,” yells the lead vocalist with German doom metallers Burden. Why? Because he’s spent the past three weeks touring with reformed rockers Kyuss Lives. That’s right – Kyuss Lives, as the original stoner band have chosen to re-christen themselves for this reunion tour without co-founder Josh Homme. A controversial decision, maybe. But apparently an acceptable one, judging by the dense crowd packed into the sold-out Kentish Town Forum. Many may argue that Kyuss merely represented a minor introduction to Homme’s colossal musical career. However, no one seems to have mentioned that to tonight’s audience, who are singing their hearts out to almost every tune played by the remaining three original members – John Garcia, Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork.

We’re still a couple of weeks away from Record Store Day and it already looks set to be a major event for 2011. After last year’s annual festivities, which marked the third and most successful Record Store Day yet and saw special edition releases from the likes of Blur, it seems that they might be difficult to top. However, with Foo Fighters, Gorillaz and Arctic Monkeys among the artists getting involved this year, expectations are high for another massive event. Last year, Stereoboard spoke to Record Store Day UK organiser Spencer Hickman, the manager of Rough Trade East in London, about the history of the event and the future of record shops. In the run-up to Record Store Day 2011, we caught up with Spencer again to find out more about this year’s celebrations.

Elton John has criticised Kings Of Leon for their decision not to allow their songs to be performed on hit US show ‘Glee’. The band entered into an online argument with creator Ryan Murphy earlier this year, refusing to give their consent for hit track ‘Use Somebody’ to be performed on the show. The argument peaked when Kings Of Leon’s Nathan Followill was accused of homophobia after telling Murphy to “buy a new bra” on his Twitter account.
