And the reason is hilarious.

I know I just posted like an hour ago saying I’m on hiatus, but as usual, by the time I actually post a hiatus message I end up being almost immediately ready to break it. That may not be the case here, but this bit of news is just too funny to pass up.

No Doubt is suing Activision for using their likeness in Band Hero. Of course, No Doubt signed off on that, but what they didn’t sign off on (or maybe they did, the actual details of the contract are totally irrelevant to me) was being allowed to be portrayed playing not just their own songs, but any of the 62 songs in the game. Not a single thing I can imagine would be funnier than seeing Gwen Stefani singing The Impression That I Get or Every Rose Has It’s Thorn. Assuming, of course, that they have the original husky-voiced singers performing the song and not, like, a girl or something. On one hand, I pray every night before I go to bed that something will happen that makes Bobby Kotick lose all his money and spend his last days destitute, sucking AIDS-infected dick for heroin, before a bunch of drunken frat boys finally light him on fire just to watch him burn, so the idea of him losing a lawsuit makes me happy. But on the other hand, No Doubt’s last few albums have really really sucked, and Gwen Stefani deserves something bad happening to her for the sonic abortion she calls a solo career, so I guess regardless of who wins, it’ll be a happy day for me.

Anyway, back to hiatus.
