Sex in the City for Miley Cyrus?
antiMusic reports: First she gave us revealing photos and now Miley Cyrus may have a role in a Sex in the City movie. That is the rumor on the street, or at least on the celeb websites, who are reporting that the Disney star will play a small role in the film that is currently in production.

MTV reports: "Miley, who appeared to have admitted to MTV News earlier this month that she would be involved in the flick (yes, we took her 'no comment' to heart!), is supposed to shoot on set on October 16."more

Before all of the protest from angry parents start, Gossip Cop goes further and "confirm that in the current script, Cyrus has one scene, and in it she wears the same dress to a red carpet event that Kim Cattrall's character buys to look 'hot and young.' In the script, Mario Cantone's character Anthony responds by exclaiming, 'Mother of God: She is wearing the same dress as Hannah Montana.' - Read their report which started this latest round of speculation

Madonna May Marry Jesus
antiMusic reports: Before we get to the article, keep in mind that this is based on a tabloid report but the good folks at Hecklerspray had such fun with this rumor that we had to pass part of it on. Here you go: Madonna is said to be considering getting married to her 22-year-old partner, Jesus Luz. Yes, you heard us. In a series of rather comical coincidences � that you could not make up unless you were hell-bent on being labeled a heathen � the queen of the baby-snatchers is rumoured to wish to marry her child boyfriend.

Not that we're judging, mind you. This is ruddy Madonna we're talking about. Let's face it, short of long-division, there's nothing that she cannot do. Except wear trousers. And not grind her hip bones into a fine powder, as she dry humps her dancers in every video.

Madonna currently has five children; her two biological ones Lourdes and Rocco, and her two adopted kids Mercy and David. Then there's the fifth. Jesus. Whom no one seems to realise must be some other child she adopted. We've read somewhere he's supposed to be her boyfriend, but that's just silliness if ever we heard it. Jesus is clearly still a child, and he actually appears to be shaving off peach fuzz each morning, in lieu of something rugged-looking that more closely resembles facial hair. - the fun has only just begun

Monsters of Folk Hit The Top 20
PR reports: Monsters of Folk's self-titled debut, out now on Shangri-La Music, has hit #15 on the Top 200 chart, selling nearly 35,000 albums in its first week of release. The Top 20 album is the first recorded collaborative effort of the group's acclaimed members - Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis,My Morning Jacket's Jim James and singer/songwriter M.Ward.

Monsters of Folk began as folklore of sorts, when James, Oberst, Ward and Mogis did their first run of shows together in 2004, affectionately known amongst friends and crew as the "Monsters of Folk Tour."

While entertaining audiences coast to coast, the foursome vowed to make their way to a studio at some point after the tour's completion. Instead, the songsmiths went on to individually release some of rock music's most exciting and essential albums of the last five years � Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning & Cassadaga; My Morning Jacket's Z & Evil Urges; M. Ward's Post War and Hold Time. - more on this story

Polysics Digital
PR reports: Polysics, the forward-thinking, avant garde, electronic band from Japan is releasing its eight effort today in digital format. Entitled Absolute Polysics, the band is firing on all cylinders daring any listener to remain still during the record's frantic and chaotic 14 tracks.

Influenced by the new wave stylings of Devo, Polysics founding member Hiroyuki Hayashi, aka Hiro, knew he had to form his own band after listening to the Akron, Ohio band. "I was shocked by it," Hiro says of his first experience with Devo. "I thought it was so much more punk than just acting like a gang by greasing one's hair. I was so impressed, and I thought, 'I want to do new wave punk dressed in a jumpsuit like Devo!'"

Formed over ten years ago, Polysics (Hiro on vocals, guitar, programming; Kayo, synthesizer, vocals; Fumi, bass; Yano, drums) has released eight full-length releases in their native Japan. The band, now signed to MySpace Records, released the definitive Polysics compilation POLYSICS OR DIE!!!! VISTA in 2007 which went on to become their best selling U.S. release. - more on this story

Peter Bradley Adams Sets New Release
PR reports: Peter Bradley Adams returns with his second release with Sarathan Records, Traces. Look forward to more poetic songwriting, romantic imagery, and gorgeous music arrangements. iTunes digital release = Oct 13, 2009 and Record store release = Oct 20, 2009

The songs on this album are sweet and intimate, written like personal letters composed during Peter's travels across the US, Europe, & India. According to Peter: "Even the most placid music has to have some sense of longing, otherwise it's just boring; a close friend once told me if there was bumper sticker for me it would read 'RELUCTANT GYPSY'."

Peter completed Traces swiftly, only 6 months after releasing leavetaking in 2008. Apparently, Peter's travels are a source of inspiration, be they reluctant or not! - Myspace link

A single, "Edward Dunn" from this new album, Absence, recently debuted on the KINK.FM Local Music Spotlight. Dean Kattari, APD/MD/KINK.FM said "I think the new album is very good, it was hard to pick just one song for airplay. That's a good problem!"

Fugitive Souls Announce EP and Dates
PR reports: Fugitive Souls have wedded the expansiveness of arena rock with the precision of electronic music to meticulously come up with their Strangers EP.

Forming in May of 2009, it's hard to believe that this fresh-faced group of musicians have already paid their dues at some of the most reputable NYC venues and played alongside big name indie acts such as Brazilian Girls, Mixel Pixel, Your Vegas, and Wild Yaks. Full of innocent fervor and danceable angst, the band's Strangers EP evoke a moody electro pop luster layered in hints of new wave atmospherics, reminiscent of M83, Blonde Redhead, The xx and New Order.

Fugitive Souls will be all up in NYC's face this October with a residency at Webster Hall's The Studio on Oct. 12th and Oct. 19th, followed by a supreme CMJ showcase at Union Pool on Oct. 21st with the likes of Cale Parks, Takka Takka, Lemonade and Little Girls. - more on this story
