Ban in Can? |
Hecklerspray reports: 50 Cent is everywhere
you look at the moment: 50 Cent CDs, 50 Cent videogames, 50 Cent movies,
50 Cent shoes, 50 Cent book. The world is full of the mumbling rapper.
But Canada won't stand for it any longer.
Canadian junior foreign minister Dan McTeague is pressing officials to
ban 50 Cent from entering the country. Not because - as you may have suspected
- McTeague thinks that 50 Cent's flow is mad wack, but because - in his
opinion - 50 Cent glorifies gun crime.[see full story for more]-

Def
Bluegrass |
Blabbermouth reports: DEF LEPPARD's official
web site has been updated with the following message:
"With the upcoming [DEF LEPPARD] covers
album 'Yeah!' (scheduled for release in March/April 2006), the band pays
tribute to some of their musical heroes from their youth. But, it can also
work the other way around: with 'Pickin' on Def Leppard' here's an album
that pays tribute to DEF LEPPARD in a special way. The album features 11
classic LEPPARD tunes performed by CORNBREAD RED, and it's not the average
kind of music DEF LEPPARD fans will be used to hear; all tracks are stripped
down and performed bluegrass style with soaring harmonies, mandolin, banjo,
dobro and guitar. [see full story for more]- Click

Korn
Vs Ex-Korn |
Blabbermouth reports: KORN frontman Jonathan
Davis has hit back at departed guitarist Brian "Head" Welch over his assertions
that the only thing the members of the band care about is money.
"All they care about is money? What the
fuck?! I don't understand what he's on about," Davis tells the Swedish
magazine Close-Up. "All HE cared about was money and all he does is still
care about the money. He's got his solo career, he's going and doing all
this, but oh, it's not for the money. Christians are the biggest fucking
con artists in the world and he's still gonna make money off that. I don't
understand… The only true way he can do that is to become a fucking monk!
There you go, that's a sacrifice for God. Give up everything and go, if
that's what you want. It's bullshit. If he wants to go save kids in India,
that's amazing. That's a noble fucking cause, that's cool. Do your thing.
The only problem I do have with him is that he’s got this Jesus complex.
You can tell by the way he's got his fucking hair, Messiah down his neck,
him with the kids in India trying to be holier than thou now, that he thinks
he's Christ. It's kinda crazy, kinda cuckoo and it kinda weirds me out."[see

Terrorism? |
tinfoil.music reports: Scotsman.com: ILLEGALLY
downloading music to your gleaming new Christmas iPod could soon be dealt
with using the full force of anti-terror laws if the entertainment industry
gets its way.
Big firms including Sony and EMI want to
use new powers designed to track terrorists on the internet to crack down
on music and film pirates - including the parents of children who download
music - who are estimated to cost the industry £650m a year. Internet
companies will have to log all the pages visited by surfers for at least
a year so the security services can track terrorists using the web for
fund-raising, training or swapping information.[see full story for more]-
