• Green Day Announces Release Date for New Album

  It won't be out until May, but it's hardly a stretch to call Green Day's upcoming release, titled 21st-Century Breakdown --their first since 2004's American Idiot, which won the Best Rock Album Grammy--one of the most "highly-anticipated rock albums of 2009." Do we sound like film critic Peter Travers breathlessly announcing some formulaic Hollywood blockbuster? Good. Already, the G-Day press blitz has begun: Rolling Stone blogged about the new album here and promises a more detailed sto

Tickets are $20 a pop, show starts at 8 p.m. Our clubs editor, John Graham, confides that he hopes Green Day plays at the Hemlock next. And then maybe House of Shields.

  Jim Wilson/New York TimesIn the(ir) DNA: Green Day We've still got a few days to go before Green Day's new album, 21st Century Breakdown, drops (on May 15, if you're wondering). And Bay Area audiences might be sick of the pop-punk superstars already, after a recent frenzy of live shows at mostly smaller venues previewing the new record. But while we've been lucky enough to take Green Day for granted, the national press is just warming up to the notion of the multiplatinum band's return. Take y

  TorrentFreakBy now, you've probably heard that the RIAA has successfully sued the Minneapolis woman accused of illegally downloading music - to the tune of $1.92M or $80,000 per song. As reported by the Associated Press on Friday, Jammie Thomas-Rasset was found found guilty of violating the copyrights on 24 songs in a retrial (in the original trial, the results were the same, except the damages were much lower--$222,000, or $9,250 per song). In any event, the damage amount seems rather excessive

  ​Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong is taking his dreams of a rock opera-cum-theatrical musical one step further. American Idiot the hit CD is currently being transformed into a musical at Berkeley Rep, where it will run for one month starting September 4. Already it seems Armstrong has hopes that spinoff will inspire another. As he recently told the Associated Press, "I thought American Idiot had a lot in common with something like Rocky Horror Picture Show. It would great to see a film mad
