ALICE COOPER IS "KEEPIN' HALLOWEEN ALIVE"!!!

Alice Cooper and Halloween go hand-in-hand. So the King of Shock Rock should have a special anthem to commemorate the holiday, right? Right!

Coop's brand new single, "Keepin’ Halloween Alive," features
his signature snarl backed by upbeat, garage-punk music. The digital-only release (from Shout! Factory) was co-written and co-produced by Alice and Piggy D. (a.k.a. Rob Zombie's bassist).


"At home, my family all gathers around an old spooky tree decorated with skulls and bones in the living room and we exchange gifts," says Cooper about his family's tradition. "It's our holiday. We even all have matching black-and-orange Halloween sweaters! I wanted a theme song for people like me—and, for us, Halloween never ends. In the chorus, I say, 'I'm keepin' Halloween alive, baby, 3–6–5'—and I mean it!"

Check out the special website KeepinHalloweenAlive.com for more information about how to purchase the song, see a video with the tune's lyrics and even watch a very funny Public Service Announcement from Alice himself.

Rock and Roll Hall of BLEHHHHHHHHH

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame FINALLY realized what a great idea it would be to open an annex in NYC. The museum itself is amazing - i had the pleasure of going through it alone last Friday and the opening video portion you sit through before entering the actual museum had me all choked up (which i guess isn't saying much as i am the girl who weeps at Californication).

However, the "party" they threw last night to celebrate the opening couldn't have been less fucking rock n roll. But I guess I shouldnt have expected anything more from a foundation who still has not inducted JOAN JETT or ALICE COOPER (yet they have the nerve to play Joan Jett + the Blackhearts songs at their party). But i digress. The DJ got off to a really awesome start playing Sabbath, The Clash, Zeppelin...then I'm not sure what happened but I started hearing lots of hip hop and weird remixes. Debbie...i mean...Deborah Harry and Chris Stein performed acoustically (YAWN). Other "true rock n roll" guests included Ciara, Taylor Momsen, model Jessica Hart, Lenny Kay of Patti Smith Group (he is one of the coolest guys ever), Kat DeLuna and Molly Simms. Les Paul was there, and that is damn cool.
