Northern rappers land record deal with message for change:
"When people look at rap music and stuff they think it's all gangster and that's all they think it's about. But when they hear us they have a different point of view on it, and we're trying to widen the horizon." -Galveston Barnaby

You folks are responsible for this success, and for that we thank you from the bottom of our blackened little hearts.

ANTHRAX Honored With Jerseys At Yankee Stadium:
METALLICA: 'The Complete Illustrated History' Book Due In November:
"In this book, the first complete illustrated treatment of the band, acclaimed heavy metal journalist Martin Popoff leads a roster of respected heavy metal writers to take on METALLICA's entire history, analyzing each of the group's ten studio albums (including 2011's 'Lulu' collaboration with Lou Reed) and providing a complete discography. More than 300 images complement extensive band stories: their formative years spent woodshedding in the clubs of Los Angeles, tragedies like the death of founding bassist Cliff Burton, the triumphs of multiple platinum recordings, personnel changes like the departures of Dave Mustaine and Jason Newsted, and tours covering the world over. Live-performance and candid off-stage photographs are accompanied by a stunning selection of memorabilia, including gig posters, concert tees, picture sleeves, backstage passes, buttons, ticket stubs, and more."

"Because of the seemingly bleak circumstances and limited information about the death of Peter Banks, I reacted quite sadly to the news and felt driven to write this poem."

Pussy Riot Member: 'What Happened to Us Is Unacceptable':
Lesley Stahl: Did you ever consider begging for forgiveness, throwing yourself at the mercy of the court?
Katya Samutsevichl: No. The whole process was so unfair to us from the beginning. It's strange when you're innocent. Are you supposed to ask for forgiveness from the judge who's ready to put you away for several years? No, this wasn't even discussed.
Local H Cancels Dates After Singer Was Attacked in Russia:
First Morrissey, then Animal Collective, and now this......After weighing all of our options, it looks like we're going to have to cancel the first 3 dates of the Local H tour - that's March 21, 22, and 23. We don't take this decision lightly and we're deeply sorry for it.
Here's what happened : A month ago, after a date in Moscow, I was assaulted and robbed. The attacker came up from behind and put me in a chokehold until I passed out. When I came to, I was in a stairwell with all of my pockets empty. No phone, no wallet, no cash, and (worst of all) no passport. Nothing. Even my hat and glasses were gone. It wasn't until I found someone to ask for help that I realized something else was gone - my voice. When I opened my mouth to ask that person to call me a taxi, nothing but a scratchy croak would come out. I touched my throat and could feel that more damage had been done than I initially thought. A purple bruise began to form. I was having trouble swallowing. Russia...........
When I got back to the states, I just figured that resting my voice and taking it easy would allow everything to return to normal. I'd lost my voice before and I knew the drill : shut the fuck up (basically). But it soon became apparent that this time my voice wasn't going to just heal itself and I had to see someone. The folks at MusiCares hooked me up with a voice doctor who found that one of my vocal cords had been damaged. How badly damaged, we're not sure yet - we need a second opinion. But the doctor said if they had to go in and POP(!) the cord back into place, then we have a limited window for that until the damage becomes permanent.
Which means there's really no way I could make the show in Grand Rapids without worrying about the long term effects - never mind the fact that my voice would totally suck. We feel horrible about this. As some of you out there may already know - we don't believe in canceling shows (and in reference to the above : if you somehow happen to be a fan of Morrissey, Animal Collective, AND us - then we're truly sorry to be piling on). So, yes - this fucking blows. But please believe that we're doing everything we can to correct this situation and to make sure we don't miss any more dates than absolutely necessary. Please stay tuned and we'll keep you up to date.
Again - we're so sorry.

Elton John biopic on the way:
'Michael [Gracey] has an innovative, imaginative and compelling vision for the film. We want to create an experience that surprises and moves audiences and knew immediately that he was the perfect director to take them on this journey.'
Michael Bublé: I only write drunk:
"I have always written these songs about love, or loss or longing. I just sat down at the piano and I started to work on this tune and the lyrics just came right out. I was drunk, that's the truth. I have never written anything sober in my life. I think if I tried to write sober. I thought this is a great concept, I am going to write this song about a guy whose girlfriend thinks she's the greatest and dumps him. And he realises that once she is gone, his life gets so much better."
