Over the weekend at the Norwegian Wood festival someone decide to throw a water bottle in the middle of 3's and 7's(about the 1:30 mark in the video. After the song ends Homme decides to call out the young troublemaker berating him with a tirade of words we're sure his mother would not approve of.

Jbuc returns withn his review of the new Queens Of The Stone Age album "Era Vulgaris." it get a three and a hlaf out of five from us. Check the review below.
Era Vulgaris like the current times it’s named after is an often maddening record. It’s more up tempo and relentless than the criminally slept-on Lullabies to Paralyze but may be more notable for its near-misses than its hits. When Josh Homme sings that thinking of “the mysteries of the world just ain’t his thing” on “Make it Wit Chu” don’t believe him because it often feels like he is trying to cram as many ideas into each record as he possibly can. Most work, some don’t and the result is that the songs that aren’t great such as “River in the Road” have interesting parts and the ones that are good often have break downs, riffs, or bridges that either keep you from absolutely loving the song or reminds you how much you like the rest of it. These elements combined with Homme’s road-weary, haunting vocals make the entire album quite listenable but only the absolutely rocking “3’s and 7’s” is certain to make your ipod playlist.
Standout tracks: 3’s and 7’s, Into the Hollow, Make it Wit Chu
Misses: Misfit Love

In a recent interview with NME Josh Homme frontman for Queens Of The Stone Age revealed that he has gotten closer with Jack and Meg after The Raconteurs keyboard player Dean Fertita joined QOTSA on tour. That's not the shocker though, apparently Josh and Meg get together for some karaoke every now and then. Josh had this to say about it.
"I've met Jack a few times, but I think I've spent more time doing drunk karaoke with Meg," Homme explained. "She lives in LA too. We haven't done a duet yet, but I sing Roy Orbison's 'In Dreams' and a lot of Britney Spears."
We can hear an amazing version of Brit's "Hit Me Baby One More Time" In our heads right now Josh. QOTSA are playing with the Stripes at the O2 Wireless festival tonight.
