Fatal Club Shooting |
Versus The Mirror reports: Greetings Everyone.
My name is Gabe and I play guitar in a band called Versus The Mirror. I
write to everyone in a complete state of disbelief. There was a shooting
at a hardcore show (Hoods, Shattered Realm, Donnybrook) here in Tucson,
AZ that resulted in a death. The show was held at our main all ages venue
and arts center, Skrappys. After a huge fight broke out inside the venue,
the brawl kept going outside until shots were fired. A few people were
also said to be fighting with hammers. Nuts. My thoughts and prayers go
out to everyone who was involved or witnessed this tonight.[see full story

AP reports: Barbra Streisand has canceled
her subscription to the Los Angeles Times over the firing of the paper's
liberal columnist.
The newspaper dropped Robert Scheer and
several other columnists last month; Scheer speculated he was let go because
the Times had tired of his politics.[But what is she doing in LA? Wasn't
she going to leave the US if Bush was re-elected? Those crazy Divas will
do anything for press. see full story for more]- Click

Jacko? |
Gigwise reports: Michael Jackson’s family
are concerned that the crazy popstar may be addicted to prescription drugs.
Relatives of Jackson’s are said to be flying
out to his Bahrain hideaway in a bid to stop him from popping the pills.
Speaking to the New York Daily News, a
source said: "Michael is bingeing again. Grace basically said she can't
handle him alone..."
However, a spokesperson for Jackson, Raymone
Bain has claimed that families story is a lie, he said: "He is clear-headed
and articulate. He is not on drugs. It's false."[see full story for more]-

Carey, Kanye West, John Legend Lead Grammy Noms |
antiMusic reports: The nominations are in
for the 48th annual Grammy® Awards a.k.a. Rap/R&B Awards a.k.a.
the music establishment's answer to an ASB election. Kanye West, John Legend
and Mariah Carey lead the decline of popular music with nominations in
eight categories. Of course, they had a wealth of categories to qualify
in (see list below).
Coming in with six nominations: 50 Cent,
Beyonce Knowles and Stevie Wonder. Followed by Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys,
Bruce Springsteen, Gwen Stefani and U2 with five nominations. Common, Destiny's
Child, Jermaine Dupri, Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, Neptunes, Brad Paisley and
Gretchen Wilson all snagged four nominations.
Surprisingly, 50 Cent who had the best
selling album of the year did not snag nominations in the major categories
(album, record, etc), Coldplay was also shutout of the major categories,
because we all know that Hollaback Girl was the seminal recording of the
year if not the century!
The main awards ceremony will take place
on February 8th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. [see full story for

Green Turns Rapper |
Jam! Music reports: Canada's Tom Green, the
comedian who loves to shock, has a new in-your-face project on the go.
This time, it's a rap album, Prepare For
Impact. The 34-year-old comic-turned-actor, whose hip-hop career began
in the early '90s as part of the Juno-nominated Canadian rap group Organized
Rhyme (remember Check The O.R.?), leaves none of his familiar hot-bed issues
untouched on the new project.
He takes aim at teachers, Hollywood, parents,
cancer, his high-profile "ex-bitch" (aka Drew Barrymore) and of course,
the media. [see full story for more]- Click
