FOUND: The Soiled Jeans of Jason Stollsmiester of Von Bondies

People forget. Summer jams like C’mon C’mon.

Annnd that Jack White is one tough motha that could and will wipe the floor with your face if you talk smack about him.

Here is a true indie rock find of epic historical proportion.

The stained jeans of Jason Stollismeister of The Von Bondies. It's alleged that the stains are the direct and instant result of the now famous altercation that led to the one band breaking up (eventually) and one broken face. (And shattered dreams?)

Youch. No one said this world of rock n roll was going to be pretty.

Why do you think Jack dresses like a gangster and outfits his staff like willing henchmen?

FOUND: Billy Corgan and Stephen Malkmus' Signed Contract For Staged Feud

Eat your heart out, Greg Kot.

Confirming what most alternative/indie fans already knew but neither pumpkinheads nor Pavement fans ever suspected, this contract (photocopy) proves the Corgan/Malkmus beef of '94 was staged by a PR firm in Chicago.

Not wanting to "deal with, you know, the festival bullshit" Pavement opted out of the mainstream spotlight that was Lolla, while Billy Corgan was more than eager for the attention - and then some.

"Cherub Rock" is a better song than "Range Life" but rumor has it Pavement's Reunion Tour generated more revenue than Machina, Zeitgeist & Oceana combined.

Credibility management? (Cred for cash)
