Monday's Hors d'Oeuvres

Welcome to the working week, where we feel your pain. But that’s why we exist, to help you slowly dip yourself back into the groove with these fine links:

• Omega Moos: Best band name ever?
• Remember this one? The Beastie Boys promoting Check Your Head on Hangin’ with MTV
• I won’t believe the circulating rumors about a possible Van Halen reunion until I’m actually inside the venue and I see Eddie and David Lee Roth hit the stage at the same time
• Reminder, tomorrow night is the Tea Leaf Green simulcast on Sirius
• Chicago pops the questionpalooza, and Perry Farrell says “Yes!”
• So you’re telling me all I have to do is believe in Xenu and I get to see Beck at the Knit?! Scientology ho!
• Dear New York Times…You can’t replace CBGB’s, no matter how cute you think your graphics are
• Not surprisingly, Andy Gadiel live blogged Vegoose
• Double J Jesse Jarnow is PAF (prolific as fuck)
• Even critics are giving Trey’s latest tour high marks
• If you hear Purple Haze in a McDonalds commercial, now you know why
• Legendary rock photographer Henry Diltz shares his photos
• Hopefully other bands out there follow Kiss’ template for releasing video
• Friend of Hidden Track, Neddy, keeps New Yorkers updated on the Shows of the Week around the city
• Allmusic has short clips from the upcoming moe. release, The Conch.
• You aren’t heady unless you’ve seen all 52 Grateful Dead shows at Madison Square Garden

Now get back to work, ya ne’er-do-well slackers…
