Happy Holidays from Kelly Source! Enjoy your holidays with family and friends!

Here’s an article found on myspace. With the real story! For those of you who don’t know, there was a video released of Kelly and Matt Zane “vandalizing” Amy Lee’s house. Personally I didn’t watch the video because I had a sense it was a hoax. Here the Real story:”and now for the true story: about two years ago, a production company approached the studio with the idea of shooting a reality show based on what it’s “really like” working at a studio. studio recording’s not quite as cut and dry as they make it look on tv and in the videos, and it’s an interesting business. people come from all over the country to LA to try to make it in the industry, in bands and as engineers, neither of which is very easy.i agreed to participate in the taping of the footage for the show’s trailer/pitch tape. initially, the show was pitched to us as being very documentary style, but it soon became obvious that they wanted to focus on the celebrities. made sense to me. people like celebrities”.

Former Minuteman, current Stooge, and all-around inspiring guy Mike Watt’s most recent recording gig made us smile so much that we just had to share it. (And so did that picture!) Watt tells us that over the past two weeks, he spent a couple of days in the studio laying down bass tracks for Kelly Clarkson’s new album. (That would be the follow-up to 2004′s Breakaway–the one with “Since U Been Gone” on it.) He did such a good job of explaining it himself in the emails he sent to Pitchfork that we’ll just let him do what he does best and spiel: “The producer/engineer David Kahne is an old friend, and that’s why I was asked aboard, though the guitarist and co-songwriter, Jimmy Messer, knew all about my history and was very enthusiastic; he’s a great cat. Actually, it was pretty interesting. I didn’t [know] what to expect, but [Kahne] had me trying all kinds of tripping stuff. Altogether, I played on six [songs]. They were already recorded, and I was replacing and adding in bass. “Everyone there gave me much respect even with me being nervous, big time at first. I knew nothing of Kelly Clarkson before this but can tell you, in my opinion, that she can sing her ass off. Man, she’s got pipes and goes for it. She also didn’t have any airs or a big posse of sycophants and was just plain up-front people, which to me is very happening ’cause I ain’t so used to all the fronting that can go [on] in some scenes.
