Wherein our heros endure inane questioning from Ms. Rivers, and also serve as the opening act for both an 85 year old marathon runner as well as the future Magneto…

See that new tab up there labeled “Newslines“? That a new feature here at A Moment of Noise that is basically just a big o’l scoop of music news plucked from a few of our favorite web sites. The Newslines page gets updated multiple times a day, and should always have something interesting and newsworthy for you to read. Check it out!

NME is reporting that the Sex Pistols will play a one off London gig at Brixton Academy on November 8th.

Speaking about their return to the London gig scene for the first time since 2002, Sex Pistols’ frontman John Lydon explained: “Maybe it’s because we’re all Londoners, but there would be no Sex Pistols without dear old London town.”

He added: “See you all at Brixton with proper feelings and proper people all around. From London Bridge to The Rose And Crown, all of Britain is welcome so come on down.”

Tickets go on sale on September 21 at 9am (BST).

This is damned cool. If you do not appreciate its inherent coolness, then you are lost. View the thingy below, then follow the link to create your own Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Message!

I hate the title that I’m using for this irregular feature in which I pass on to you the best of the feeds in my RSS reader, but let’s face it, “Parsing The Feeds” lacks sex appeal. Feel free to suggest something better…

• If you like the Twang like I do, then you simply must pull on your shit-kickers and download this in live in-studio performance by Dale Watson at KEXP. Dale is the man.
• Okkervil River is slowly becoming a fave here at my palacial East Atlanta home, The Grassy Knoll. If you aint been hipped to this Austin based band, NPR’s All Things Considered recently did a feature on them that you can listen to here and catch up with the rest of the world. Really, don’t let the pretentious name put you off.
• For you Monsters Of Rock out there, NPR’s Fresh Air recently did an interview with Alice Cooper (mp3 right here) about his new memoir, Golf Monster. Fresh Air did a series of hard rock related shows recently, and clicking this mp3 episode link will net you an interview with Robert Plant in which he talks about “Stairway To Heaven” and dispenses singing tips. Also on this episode: Aerosmith!
• All Songs Considered is required listening. Download this recent episode to catch up with Iron and Wine, Rilo Kiley, and Animal Collective.
• Speaking of Iron and Wine, the odd amalgum they make up with Calexico made an appearance recently at the studios of KUT. The Austin station packages some of the live performances recorded there in Radio Without Borders. This episode also features Luna.

You know how companies are always falling all over themselves trying to come up with some sort of cutsey viral interweb thingy that people like you and me will blog about and email around to all their friends? Mission accomplished.
