The internet is a wonderful thing.

Music News for Today May 16, 2012 feat. Marky Ramone & His Meatballs, Jack White Being Bummed Again, Bill Ward Not Playing With Black Sabbath, and Mark Hoppus Preaching Again

Do You Have Any Vegan Options Please: Marky Ramone is launching a meatball food truck in NYC called "Marky Ramone's Cruisin' Kitchen." Too bad it's not a hot dog stand and so you could call it "Beat On The Brat(wurst)."

Holy Moly: Have you seen the lineup for Rock the Bells this year? Even Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are excited.

Good For Him: Bill Ward is officially not going to be playing the drums with Black Sabbath during the upcoming reunion shows. It even looks like the band didn't want him to as they offered him only to only play three songs with the group at the Download Festival in June. Ward did write a nice letter to the fans explaining how he had to stand up for himself and not partake in the reunion.

Worth the Watch for a Good Chuckle: Someone gave a pair of headphones to a few kids, with Skrillex playing on them, and asked them to explain what they thought about the artist and the dubstep genre.

Don't Ever Talk to The Drummer: Mark Hoppus made another video. Instead of how to workout, he's now telling bass players that it's okay to not look bored while playing.

Now What Are They Up To: Google is offering billion dollar checks for blanket rights to record labels. The article doesn't mention which label the money was offered to or for what purpose.

Standing Up to the Man: The String Cheese Incident are now practicing guerilla tactics to avoid Ticket Master completely on their upcoming tour.

I Would Be Bummed Too: While in Newfoundland, as part of the White Stripes "Free Show a Day" while on their 2007 Canadian Tour, they played only a single note. Jack White is now upset with Guinness Book of World Records because they won't offer the White Stripes with the title of "Shortest Show Ever." One of the members of the book was probably at that show and was bummed that they stood for so long to hear the fastest cymbal catch done by Megan.

Radness of the Day: Vancouver's White Lung posted a new video to promote their upcoming North American Tour, and the song is really good!
