What's even more fun than watching Terrell Owens "cry" on VH1 reality television because he's broke?

Not much, when it comes right down to it.

But one of the things that IS better than watching Terrell Owens "cry" on VH1 reality television because he's broke is the Weekly Volcano, and more specifically the Weekly Volcano music section. I'm a bit biased, but it's pretty much the shit.

Want proof? Fine. Here's a sneak peek at this week's stellar Volcano music section ...

INDIE ROCK: LEARNING TEAM

An indie folk mélange that ends up somewhere similar to bands like Cave Singers and the ilk (albeit taking a more circuitous route), Learning Team is a band well suited for a nap on the grass or an afternoon of no responsibility. Billed as a "summer rock" band, The Royal Sea (also from Bellingham) should only sweeten the deal. - Matt Driscoll

HIP-HOP: What's the Word? with Josh Rizeberg

Summer has been good to Craze8. I mentioned in an earlier column he went on tour. He also had time to shoot a rough underground video, "I'm On One." Check it on YouTube. The video has a strong summer feel, with cameos from $krilla and Tacoma underground favorite Tall-Can. ... -- Josh Rizeberg

THE DAMAGE REPORT: Bitten by The Fang

As time passed the tiny space filled with more and more of the lucky few (maybe 150 total) eager to get sweaty with Red Fang and some incredible rock. Openers Annunaki did a good job setting the tone with an off-kilter yet heavy set. The crowd continued to grow and drink as I mingled with fellow South Sound madmen, and even good ol' Chris "Cricket" Johnson of Action City Tattoo and his ever-increasing posse. As Seattle band Princess took the stage the mood shifted. Suddenly space in front of the stage disappeared as the volume increased and Princess got down to business. The vocalist wasted no time proving he knew how to growl and scream while the female bassist and drummer beat the crowd into submission. The guitarist had a great crunch to his sound and I was really blown away with how good this band was. The whole night I just kept thinking, "This is how I felt seeing so many up-and-coming bands in Tacoma back in the ‘80s and 90's. THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN TACOMA!!" ... -- Jason McKibbin

MAIN MUSIC: Archibald Leach reunion show

Archibald Leach's music embraced a sound that is more effective in 2011 than it ever was when the band was in action. Theirs was a kind of post-punk, post-hardcore combination of proggy compositions and a relentlessly heavy sound.  ... Archibald Leach sounds more relevant to indie rock's landscape today than it did in the '90s. ... -- Rev. Adam McKinney
