Music News and New Music For April 18th, 2013

So of course, when running your own blog solo it can be tough to keep up with the s**tload of stuff that comes across our ears over a weekend!  Some good, some bad, some not even worth mentioning.  I guess that's how I use AFGM in general.  These articles that I go through everyday from various sites (Blabbermouth,. Bravewords, AV Club, Music News, MissInfo, Billboard, Rolling Stone, etc.) and sort of "filter" some of the nonsense news such as the latest fashion design, who's got beef with who and who ISN'T doing music...still.

These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:

1. They are relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.

2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.

3. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh.  Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it.  They're the ones causing the comments.

So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here.  But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else.  Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article.  Cheers!

Wu-Tang Clan Plan New Album for July Release:

"If the Wu-Tang Clan ever wanna come back together – and next year will be our 20th year anniversary – I'd love for it to be under my leadership and guidance, because I think I've grown so much as a man and as an artist that I would know how to drive the ship to the proper location.  I would love to do that again." -RZA (circa Nov. 2012)

AND...

"I'm sorry to announce that I've decided to leave Sum 41.

Touring with the band has been an amazing experience that has taken us far beyond our old practice space in my parent's basement to countless countries around the world. I've had the opportunity to see and experience so much and for that I am truly grateful.  I just want to thank all of our fans for making the last 17 years possible. I had a blast.

Thanks again,
Stevo."
