Something big.. coming in a bit...

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

The new issue of ROLLING STONE Magazine mentions the FOXBORO HOT TUBS:

Psst: This awesomely retro garage-rock band is Green Day in disguise. (Or so it seems: They pulled the same stunt with fake New Wave band the Network in 2003.) Anyway , tunes like Stop Drop and Roll rock hard enough that we'd dig this even if these guys turned out to be the Jonas Brothers

KROQ has been playing The Foxboro Hot Tubs lately, you can request them by calling: 1-800 - 520-1067. You can also request them or Green Day online: here.

News from ADELINE RECORDS

Oregon rockers, "Broadway Calls" just signed to Adeline Records. Check them out at myspace.com/broadwaycalls

News from Kevin Lyman @ WarpedTour.com:

Right before christmas I got a call from my partner Darryl at CAA telling me about a band that I should check out called Broadway Calls, who Billie Joe from Green Day had just signed and was way into. Maybe I was in the mood for some Clash or Stiff Little Fingers, but right away I was way into them. This band has both those influences but with a modern feel. The band is from Oregon, better known for hippies, beavers and good micro brew, but I have a feeling after this summer it will also be known for a band called Broadway Calls.

Check them out and see them all summer on the Vans Warped Tour.

New message from Billie Joe and the NRDC:

This is a public service announcement from Yours Truly!

Toyota wants everyone to think they are green -- but behind the scenes, they are working against progress.

More than a million people bought a Prius hybrid from Toyota because they want to do the right thing for our planet. Hybrid cars are great because they can go many more miles on a gallon of gas than a regular car can, so they put out less of the pollution that is causing global warming.

Right now, Congress is working on a bill that could get car companies to manufacture cars that are more like the Prius, cars that can go an average of at least 35 miles on every gallon of gas. This would be the first improvement in U.S. fuel economy standards in almost 20 years, and it would save America 1.2 million barrels of oil every day. That is more oil than we import from Saudi Arabia.

But now Toyota is copping out. It's hard to believe, but the company that makes the Prius and other super-efficient hybrids is trying to stop Congress from taking the strongest possible action to make cars more efficient.

Go to nrdconline.org and tell Toyota to stop lobbying against the 35 miles per gallon by 2020 standard!

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers -- the powerful lobbying group that Toyota is an active member of -- is saying the goal of making cars by 2020 that get an average of 35 miles per gallon is "unattainable." That makes no sense, since Toyota is making the Prius, which gets almost 50 miles per gallon, right now!

Toyota advertises itself as the greenest car company. That company needs to walk the walk. Go to greenday_globalwarming_toyota now. Tell Toyota to stop fighting progress and start fighting global warming!

Thanks for taking action to reduce America's dangerous dependence on oil.

Yours Truly,

Billie Joe Armstrong

Green Day + NRDC

P.S. If you or your family own a Toyota hybrid or are thinking about buying one, please say that in your online message to Toyota.

New message from Billie Joe through the NRDC:

I just heard that Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize for his
work in the fight against global warming. I think it's great
that this issue is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
It's becoming a part of our everyday lives. People aren't just
talking about it, we're really starting to live it. And I feel
that Al Gore has been very influential in bringing this into the
mainstream. Kudos to you, Al Gore. Please do your part to help
stop global warming by telling Congress to pass tough global
warming legislation: here.


Sincerely,

Billie Joe Armstrong

Message from Billie Joe!

Last week, Adrienne and I went to the premiere of "The 11th
Hour," Leonardo DiCaprio's new documentary film. The movie is
really great. You should check it out (it opens in New York and
Los Angeles on Friday the 17th, and in other cities later this
month).

"The 11th Hour" is intense. It tells us the truth that nobody
wants to hear: that human beings, especially greedy corporate
executives and their politician cronies, are responsible for
putting our planet in serious danger. If things don't change
soon, life on Earth may not survive. It has to be this
generation that breaks the chain between the polluting
corporations and the crooked politicians, this generation that
changes its habits so there's something left for other species
and the people who come after us.

There IS hope. We can make changes in our everyday lives, and
most of the technology we need to move forward, we already have
today. What we really need is the leadership, and the will, to
change. You can see the movie trailer at
http://wip.warnerbros.com/11thhour/
Go see the movie.

Thanks for your past GreenDay + NRDC activism. Remember, you can
always visit the site at
http://www.greendaynrdc.com/
to take more actions and learn about changes you can make to
help save the planet.

Sincerely,

Billie Joe Armstrong

Day 3 - New Orleans

Adrienne:
It's our final build day. Its kind of sad. I really want to stay and finish the job, see it through. It's amazing how connected you feel to the project your working on. Feeling a sense of pride and excitement for the family who will live here.  Everyone fell into a rhythm with their jobs and worked hard to get as much done as possible. The kids worked so diligently on their painting. Seeing them so passionate about what they were doing and really understanding that this house is going to make a HOME for someone. It was so moving.

Billie joe, jason and mark worked on soffit again, this time on the side of the house with some pretty tall ladders. Man, those guys busted their booties to get that soffit up. I think that they - by FAR- had the hardest job of the week. 
It was just three days. Three days! And we made huge progress on the home for that single mother and her daughter. Those three days will help to change those lives.  That's what its all about.
I have to thank the Americore people we worked with- thanks ben, jolene and sam!! You were awesome! And I want to thank our Habitat team, especially Ali and Alison.  You made our build, truly an experience!  thank you beckers and whites! I can't wait for the next build...

   

Janna:
Our final day! I have to tell ya'll that Jason was talking about the soffit in his sleep! That's the word of the week- soffit! Anyway, I spent our final day painting, going crazy with the detail work trying to make it look perfect!

These 3 days have been so fun and inspiring. I'm proud of everyone, especially the kids- 6 in all, including the Becker clan (Armstrong family friends.) They all wore brown matching Carhart overalls and boots, and at one point, they were all standing in a line painting the side of the house. Super cute!  And they spent hours upon hours diligently preparing a beautiful sandbox for the little girl of the family.

We didn't get to meet the homeowner of the house we worked on, but we did meet the kind lady from across the street (she let us use her waterhose-holla!) and we also met a newly accepted homeowner who came to tell Ben (site supervisor) that he'd gotten his acceptance letter. He was so excited, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was waving his letter around, smiling so big!  We were so happy for him.

I feel so honored to have been a part of this and I am truly moved by the enormous impact that Habitat makes on people's lives. And thank you Armstrongs-good call!

 
Billie Joe:

It was our last day and I really wanted to bust ass to get some work done. Its definitely been a learning experience. I've never worked on a house before so I have a new respect for the labor involved. Mark, Jason, and I finished our part of building the soffit. Everywhere I look now, I see soffit.
I want to come back and build again. I recommend it to everyone. It not only builds a home for a stranger, but it also builds a home for your soul.

 

Jason White:
 
Last day for us helping with the house.  Day two was frustrating.  Billie & I, awkwardly high up on ladders around the side of the house,   replanning, correcting and rethinking our approach.  As we left, I didn't feel as though we got enough done.  But, we set ourselves up for a much more productive day today.  A great feeling of accomplishment at the end - making one small step forward.  It is, in some small way, how the rebuilding of this great city of New Orleans goes.  Some days are frustrating and defeating.  Some days you move ahead. 

I just hope no one will forget what this place and these people have been through.  I will not.

Day 2 - New Orleans

Adrienne:

The morning started off misty and I was hoping it wouldn't rain so we could work outside today. We arrived around 9:30am. Yay! We were able to sleep a little extra.

Everyone jumped right in to find a project to work on. I chose painting since the weather was good and I was ready to see some visible progress.. Janna,Marki and I worked all day on the front of the house and the trim. Its like painting a fairy cottage - its colors grey with pink trim. The woman and her daughter who are moving in chose those colors! They are perfect for this house. Marki has a sprained ankle that is puffy and bruised yet she worked all day with a smile. And janna- well- she is a sunshine smile always!

We had a mid-day highlight as an ice cream truck came by. Jakob and cade heard the music blocks before it came down our street. We all were excited to get popsicles and stuff.

Towards the end of the day as we were nearing the finish of the front, I suddenely had a rush of emotion. I felt so connected to this work we are doing. Working with our hands, sweating in the sun and helping to provide a place to call home for this special woman and her daughter.


Janna:
Today was awesome! I was part of the painting crew, informally headed by Adrienne. She's a great cheerleader and motivator, and I don't think she stopped working at all today. We painted the front of the house gray with pink trim, as requested by the homeowner. I have to say, painting is a lot harder than I thought it would be, especially for a very sloppy person like me. (I had to be neat!) But today what struck me most was the dedication and enthusiasm of everyone- our group is perhaps the most cheerful group of folks anywhere, and I'm very humbled by this experience and grateful that I am able to help.

And the Americorps volunteers we are working with are so inspiring to me . These are young people who volunteer a year of service to organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Daily, we work with Ben, Jolene and sam and they are all encouaging and supportive. And I have to give a shout out to my husband Jason and to Billie Joe, who have spent the past two days sweating it out on ladders, installing something called soffit. Painting is hard work, but I'll take that over the soffit anyday!!!

Billie Joe:

Today was a great day. The house is really coming together. It was great to see everyone busting their asses to get this house together. I asked Ben how long it took so far for the house to get put up at this point. He said 8 weeks!! That's incredible. He's also taking the extra scraps of lumber and reusing it into green building.

Another special moment today was the ice cream truck passing by. All the kids (and grownups) ran the truck down for a hot afternoon treat. The ice cream truck music had a bit of a 808 drumbeat to it so everyone was kind of dancing as they were eating snow cones.

Adrienne's painting looks really great. The owner of the house picked great colors.

And I don't know about you, Jason, but I think I'll be dreaming about extremely high ladders and soffit for the rest of my life!!

Come back tomorrow for Day #3!

	Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Billie Joe and family are currently in New Orleans volunteering their time to Habitat For Humanity.  Each day they are going to send us an update with pictures of how their day went. Check back each day for updates!

Day 1 - New Orleans

Adrienne : Its early. Really early. We are still on California time. So its 4:30am.  Today is our first day of building. Everyone is fired up and excited to start !  We are heading to a safety training/welcome  before we begin our day with Habitat for Humanity.
New Orleans is an unforgettable city. The people are warm and welcoming and the hospitality is unparalled.

We just had our safety meeting and its raining. We are going to drive to our site with our construction leader (Ben).  The home we are working on has been in construction for 9 weeks with 2 weeks left!

Janna:  I spent a few minutes chatting with a neighbor who is also a Habitat homeowner..  She was so open and friendly, with a beautiful smile and awesome New Orleans accent.   As we stood on her porch, she told me that her house only lost 2 panels in the hurricane and had only a couple of inches of flooding, a testament to how well built these houses are! I'm hoping the house we're helping to build is as strong!

Billie Joe: Today we worked at the upper 9th ward. I hung soffit over the front porch. I had to do some upside down hammering technique but we managed to get the job done. We felt a great sense of accomplishment when we  finished. Before I nailed the last piece of soffit , I reached inside and wrote my name with a pencil and dated it.. Ben is a great construction leader. Jason was a great partner.. It was amazing to see everyone getting their hands dirty in good conscience, working together for the greater good.

Jason: New Orleans has long been one of my favorite cities on the planet. It's really good to be back, and in some way, to try and help rebuild the city. I have no prior skills in construction and am not considered "handy" whatsoever.  But today I learned enough to help put in the soffit over the front porch.  Didn't know what it was until today in fact.  A new word, a new skill.  Looking forward to tomorrow!

News about the Simpsons movie and Green Day @ Rolling Stone:

If you possess eagle-eye vision (or a super-slo-mo button,) you may have already been able to make out none other than Green Day in the just-released trailer for this summer's "The Simpsons Movie." The trio are shown performing on what looks to be a capsizing stage. A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox wouldn't confirm anything, but according to the band's rep at Warner Bros./ Reprise, the erstwhile American Idiots do appear in the film and will even have a song featured. It's not clear if the tune will be something written specifically for the Simpsons' flick, which hits theaters July 27. ...

SI: You are tight with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. He's a big Raiders fan, so let's hope you've been getting on him.

Fox: Especially in a year like this, I'll take a couple of Raiders shots at him (laughs). But only in a year when I have a fairly strong Eagles team. We've been friends for about nine years. We met when I was doing Party of Five. I've been a Green Day fan for awhile and they were fans of the show. Through their record label, they came to the set and we met. We both had young children at the same time and we started traveling and doing family vacations together. I've gone on tour with him, and he did an acting gig on a show I worked on. He's a super guy, a really good family guy. He's kept his head on straight and his priorities right. A good man.

Dear Green Day fan,

I grew up in an oil refinery town. When I was four years old, I saw giant oil refineries spitting pollution into the sky, and that pollution was going into my lungs. It was the first time I felt the terrible effects of America�s dependence on oil.

America�s oil habit has put us in serious trouble. While oil companies are collecting bigger profits than any companies in history, we�re suffering from global warming and watching more and more of our public lands get destroyed by oil drilling. Last year, we sent more than a hundred billion dollars in oil money to undemocratic countries in the Middle East.

We�ve all got to do our part to stop America�s oil addiction. That�s why Mike, Tre, and I have joined forces with NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) and launched a new website, http://www.greendaynrdc.com .

We�re supporting NRDC�s Move America Beyond Oil campaign, which can radically reduce our dependence on oil. If you haven�t already, click here (http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_beyondoil) to watch our new video and tell President Bush to Move America Beyond Oil.

A lot of people feel overwhelmed by our government. But a democracy is supposed to be a government run by the people: we elect politicians to office, so we have control over the people who are making decisions for us. It�s okay and very rebellious to speak up and take responsibility for our environment, to take care of the air that we breathe and the water that we drink.

Click here (http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_beyondoil) to check out our new video and write to the President, and don�t forget to visit out our new site at http://www.greendaynrdc.com.

Sincerely,

Billie Joe Armstrong

Green Day Fans:

Watch the new Green Day video at http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_beyondoil, and tell President Bush to Move America Beyond Oil. Check out our new site at http://www.greendaynrdc.com.

America�s oil habit has put us in serious trouble. Last year, we sent more than a hundred billion dollars in oil money to undemocratic countries in the Middle East. While oil companies are collecting bigger profits than any companies in history, we�re suffering from global warming and watching more and more of our public lands get destroyed by oil drilling.

It�s time to put a stop to America�s oil addiction. That�s why we�ve joined forces with NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) and launched a new website, http://www.greendaynrdc.com.

We�re supporting NRDC�s Move America Beyond Oil campaign, which can radically reduce our dependence on oil. You can help, too: click here (http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_beyondoil) to watch our new video and tell President Bush to Move America Beyond Oil.

The President has admitted that we�re addicted to oil, but he�s not doing very much to solve the problem. Instead of making us more energy-efficient, he�s inviting the oil companies to drill in our last, best wild places, like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. If we keep going down this path, we�ll end up with ruined wilderness, devastating climate change, and endless wars over fossil fuels. That�s why we have to act now, before it�s too late.

From GreenDay.com:

As promised, we are very proud to unveil the big news we've hinted at.
In the coming weeks, we'll be going into the studio with U2 to record a
cover of the song "The Saints Are Coming," which was originally recorded
by Scottish punk band, The Skids.  We were asked by U2 to record the
song with them to benefit Music Rising (www.musicrising.org), an
organization that replaces instruments musicians lost in Hurricane
Katrina's wake.

One year later, the devastation is still fresh in our minds, and we'd
like to keep it in yours.   New Orleans has always been a special city
to us, being a hotbed of music and creativity, and it's hard to believe
parts of the gulf region still remain devastated.  We feel that it's
important to continue to raise awareness.

(Search for Billie Joe)

Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar
$1,469.99

Simple, straightforward, and to-the-point rock tone. That's why Billie Joe rocks a vintage Junior and why you'll love the Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior electric guitar. Billie Joe's signature model is a modern re-creation of the vintage Juniors he plays on stage. While the Junior may have started life as a budget model, it has proven it has the muscle to deliver the powerful sounds needed for modern music. The flat-top, single-cutaway mahogany body and single dog-ear, double-coil P-90 pickup combination is unbeatable for punchy, defined-yet-dirty tone. The mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard and '50s neck profile is comfy and gives you something solid to hold on to. It also has a wraparound compensated bridge, chrome tuners, and volume and tone controls.

C&L's Late Night Music Club with Pinhead Gunpowder @ Crooks and Liars: here.

(Howie Klein used to run Reprise Records for many years and is going to be posting  every Wednesday night for the Club. He will defeintely add something quite unique to Late Night.)

"One of the worst things about working at a record company-- if you're a fan of music-- is that you don't get much time to listen to music, especially not from other labels. Before I went to work for Warner Bros, I had been a dj and rock journalist, so I was really used to listening to music all the time. By the time I wound up running Reprise Records, it was next to impossible for me listen to anything we weren't planning out a marketing campaign for.

However, every now and then something would come my way that I would listen to just for sheer enjoyment. Thank God. And one of the songs that has stuck with me and that I still listen to is a version of "Big Yellow Taxi" by Pinhead Gunpowder, an indie punk band from the East Bay and a for-fun-only side project of Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. "Big Yellow Taxi" was always one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs. And this version is mind blowing. When I played it for Joni at her house, she was so excited she started dancing-- with abandon!

Joni is funny about other artists and sometimes I think the best policy is to just never mention any other singers to her. But one day I went over to pick her up for dinner and I stuck a Pinhead Gunpowder CD in my pocket. She was in a really good mood, very light and expansive. She was showing me some new paintings she had been working on and I asked her if I could put the CD on. When it started playing, she seemed almost perplexed for a moment; and then she just dove right into it. I kept wishing I had a video camera so I could show Billie Joe Joni Mitchell dancing around her studio to his version of "Big Yellow Taxi." It's something I'll never forget.

--Howie Klein

Green Day Update
Punk rock luminaries Green Day have officially ended the touring cycle for their masterpiece American Idiot. The band who have been touring in support of their much praised release, playing to millions around the world, are now taking time off before beginning work on their next studio album. Green Day's multi-platinum American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004 and debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and Number One in several countries around the world. Weeks later the album returned to the Number One chart position in the US and many of the same countries across the globe. Months after the release of the album, Green Day made radio history by becoming the first rock band to reach #1 on six radio charts simultaneously with their smash "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams." Green Day was recently voted Favorite Group at the 32nd Annual People's Choice Awards on January 10th in Los Angeles. The band won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in February of 2005, and is currently nominated for Record Of The Year at this year's Grammy's taking place on February 8th in Los Angeles, CA. They swept the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards by winning seven out of the eight awards for which they were nominated, including the most prestigious Video Of The Year; the 2005 Billboard Music Awards winning in total a staggering eight awards and the 2005 Rolling Stone Readers Poll winning Artist of the Year, Best Single and Best Band.
