In what seems like a plot line ripped straight out of Entourage, what if I told you that FOX Searchlight wants to make a biopic based on the seminal punk band The Ramones? Would that be something you’d be interested in?

Well, the specialty division of 20th Century Fox is looking into optioning a movie based on the upcoming memoir I Slept with Joey Ramone: A Family Memoir – which was written by Joey’s brother Mickey Leigh and noted punk-scribe Legs McNeil. The book hits stores this December.

Finally, the fine folks at Magic Hat Brewery want to sponsor your band, as the Vermont-based brewery is currently accepting original song submissions via their website. Once the ten finalists are selected, they will battle it out for $1000, along with tour posters and online promotion provided by Magic Hat. In addition to that, the winning band will also get six performances set up for them by the brewmakers. Cheers and good luck!
