Breathe in, now breathe out. Hands up, now hands down. Back up, back up, tell me what you gonna do now? Breathe in, now breathe out. Hands up, now hands down. Back up, back up, tell me what you gonna do now? Keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’. Did you miss that? It’ll be back soon.

In news that was shocking to me as both a consumer and a rational person, Limp Bizkit is still around, making music. Even though the rap-rock branch of your local Virgin record store would be closed if this were 1998. But because it’s 2009, there are no more Virgin record stores.

Limp Bizkit, for the uninitiated, was the rap-rock band that was Nickelback before Nickelback. They were the precursors to the Puddle-Of-Nickel-Creed bands that popped up in the ’90s, and sold over 30 million albums worldwide, despite being completely hated by everyone over the age of 13. In that way, they were the Jonas Brothers of the ’90s. Fred Durst, however, believes differently:

Nobody has filled the void that Limp Bizkit left years ago, so we’re coming back to fill our own void.

The album title? Gold Cobra. Limp Bizkit are still signed to Interscope, and was one of the bands that helped put Jimmy Iovine’s label on the map.

Also, if you’re listening to Limp Bizkit, here are my jangling keys.
