| Smell
Like Manson |
Blabbermouth reports: MARILYN MANSON has confirmed
to MTV.com that he has tentative plans to lend his name to a commercial
fragrance.
"In the sense that absurdity is a wonderful
form of communication as is confusion and other things that surround
it it's very possible that [the fragrance] could happen," Manson said.
"If it does happen, just know that I'll be laughing. That doesn't mean
I'm not taking it seriously, but if I had to make a cologne or a fragrance,
I would make something that would be for men and women."[see full story

"Since the beginning of this year we have

[with HYPOCRISY, EXODUS, NAGLFAR, WINTERSUN and FEAR MY THOUGHTS].

Purple Deep Sixed by EMI |
Blabbermouth reports: Garry Sharpe-Young of
Rockdetector.com recently conducted an interview with DEEP PURPLE bassist
Roger Glover. An excerpt from the chat follows:
Rockdetector.com: "Rapture of the Deep"
marks a significant career step for the band, breaking away from EMI. It's
hard to believe they got so complacent with a band like DEEP PURPLE.
Roger Glover: "We've always been in and
out of love with EMI, so it was long overdue for a change. As it worked
out, circumstances forced our hand but it really has turned out for the
best for DEEP PURPLE. It was a total mystery to me why EMI decided not
to continue the relationship."[see full story for more]-

| Reznor
Vs Reissue Plan |
Audio Aggression reports: The rights to the
1989 Nine Inch Nails debut, Pretty Hate Machine, were recently bought by
indie label Rykodisc after TVT Records defaulted in a loan. Rykodisc plans
to re-release the album on November 22nd and NIN front-man Trent Reznor
isn't exactly happy about it. In an interview with the Toronto Sun he said,
"...I've got Ryko asking me if I'd like to do a deluxe version. Yeah, I
would. I would like to have a 5.1 version. I'll redo the packaging. Everything.
But I'm not doing it for free. They're not willing to pay, so they put
out whatever they put out. That's it." [see full story for more]-

| Britney
Dismissed |
E! reports: Such is the verdict of a federal
judge in Indianapolis, who has dismissed a copyright-infringement lawsuit
brought by an Indiana songwriter against the pop princess over the song
"Sometimes."
U.S. District Judge John D. Thinker tossed
the complaint Oct. 31 after determining that the claims brought by Steve
Wallace in a May 5 court filing did not merit further action. [The judge
didn't say that Britney's songs are so generic anyone could write them...
