Matt Drenik and company (aka LIONS) have a new EP that they’re pimping across the UK as they play a week’s worth of dates with Monster Magnet and Karma to Burn. Because the EP isn’t available in the U.S. yet, they’re making it available to download for free, but only for today (November 30). So quit wasting time reading this and hop on over to the band’s ReverbNation site. The first 6 songs in the player have a blue arrow that you can click to download the tracks. Highly, highly recommended if you’re a fan of Local H, Monster Magnet, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, and The Toadies.

You may recognize LIONS from their track “Metal Heavy Lady” which is featured on Guitar Hero 3.

1. Free downloads:  Glossary singer Joey Kneiser’s solo debut, Columbus hip-hop all-star collective Greenhouse

Two totally different end’s of the spectrum, but both great in their own way. Kneiser’s folky storytelling serving as a stop gap between Glossary CDs can be downloaded here.

Greenhouse is the brainchild of Blueprint and Illogic. The EP features guest appearances by The Catalyst and Zerostar. Download the EP here.

2. Phil’s reaction to Fisbo the Clown on Modern Family

I love this show so much. Phil’s reaction at the 45 second mark of this clip is awesome. If you haven’t checked out this show yet, catch up on all the episodes.

3. Cleveland hardcore legend Don Foose’s (ex-Spudmonsters) new  self-titled project.

I don’t know Don, never saw his old band the Spudmonsters back in the day but his new band (Foose) makes me think of the late ’80s Cleveland punk scene (and Peabody’s Down Under), a scene which I won’t claim to have ever been part of but I was definitely aware of it.

4. Yes, Anvil deserve all the recent attention they’ve been getting but let’s not forget about Canada’s hair metal veterans Helix who just released Vagabond Bones, an album that would have sounded great in 1990.

5. Kevin Tihista’s cover of Townes Van Zant’s “Still Looking for You” from Introducing Townes Van Zant Via the Great Unknown

Sia – “You’ve Changed”
Charlie Alex March– “Cortot No.6”
Tape Deck Mountain –“Scantrons” (City Light Remix)
CFCF – “Big Love” (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Toro Y Moi – “Blessa”
Devil Eyes –“Rip My Heart Out”
Red Mass –“Saturn”
Julian Koster – “Jingle Bells”

1. Meeting Megadeth at an in-store signing

2. Miranda Lambert’s “White Liar” video featuring a cameo by Jamey Johnson

3. Jim Norton and Patrice O’Neal’s reaction on the Opie and Anthony show to the latest YouTube sensation, “Risky Business gone wrong“

4. Stephen King’s new book, Under The Dome

5. Damnwells fans pledging enough money to the band so that they can record their 4th album.

Donations are still being accepted so if you want to help the band out (a minimum pledge of $12 gets you a physical copy of the CD once it’s been recorded and produced).
