Horrible Tour

I just tried to write something funny in hopes that this is a joke, but the reality that it might be true is too horrible for words.  

Bad News For Postal Service Fans

I know we all hoped it would happen, or that it was happening under our noses, but apparently Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello don't care enough about us to do another Postal Service record.

From Rolling Stone:

"No update. It’s the record that never seems to want to come out. It’s also just never been a priority for either Jimmy [Tamborello, Postal Service co-founder] or myself. The anticipation of the second record has been a far bigger deal for everybody except the two of us. [...] I don’t know about it being the indie-rockChinese Democracy but now that Chinese Democracy has come out, I guess it just becomes the second Postal Service record that will never come out. There never really was a plan to do a second album. We work from time to time together but we have other things that take up all of our time."

Ohh well.  

Deftones Bassist In Car Crash

I'm a little late on this but Chi Cheng, bass player of Deftones was involved in a car accident that has left him in a coma.  Chino has left a message on Deftones' myspace page concerning the incident:

Hello everyone, 

It deeply saddens me to inform you all that our brother Chi Cheng was involved in a terrible car accident last night. He is currently in a Northern California Hospital in serious, but stable condition. I am on my way up North right now to be by his side along with the rest of our band mates and family. Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I'm praying that his strength will get him through this. Please say a prayer for him as well.

Deftones aren't known for their speedy their speed when recording new albums.  They have 5 in studio videos of the recording process which means that hopefully the new album is close to completion; however it is difficult to imagine what this will mean for the future of the new album and Deftones in general is Chi should be unable to re-join the band.  All we can do is hope for the best.
