 Jews
Vs Madonna |
Gigwise reports: Madonna has been warned that
she faces divine retribution after she is rumoured to have included a paean
to a 16th century Jewish mystic on her next album.
Director of the seminary, Rabbi Rafael
Cohen told Israeli newspaper Maariy: There is a prohibition in Jewish
law against using the holy name of our master, the Sage Isaac, for profit."
He added: This is an inappropriate act,
and one can feel only pity at the punishment that she (Madonna) will receive
from Heaven. The Sage Isaac is holy and pure, and immodest people cannot
sing about him."[see full story for more]- Click

Vs J.Crew |
Peta reports: They should change the name
to J.Cruel until they stop selling fur, says Mötley Crüe drummer
Tommy Lee, who, wearing a body screen TV showing video footage of dog and
cat fur production in China, will led a PETA protest on Sunday at a Las
Vegas J.Crew store over the fashion retailers selling of fur, despite
repeated promises to PETA that it would not sell fur. Tommy will be joined
by members of peta2s Street Team who will hold signs with images of cats
and dogs from the investigation next to the tagline J.Crew: Did Your Fur
Have This Face? All of J.Crews fur is imported from China now the worlds
leading fur-exporting nation and where animals arent protected by a single
law which means that shopping there potentially supports the hideously
cruel dog and cat fur industry:
PETAs investigation found that millions
of dogs and cats in China are being bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death,
and strangled with wire nooses for their fur. This fur is often deliberately
mislabeled as fur from other species and is exported into the United States
to be sold to unsuspecting customers in retail stores like J.Crew. Video
from the China fur investigation can be found at the full story link -

Bomb Split |
Punk Music reports: From a blog on the Tsunami
Bomb myspace site: www.myspace.com/tsunamibomb
Hi everyone. I'm sure you're all aware
that there hasn't been any news in months, and unfortunately the only news
I have to report is bad. Tsunami Bomb has broken up. Now, if you're a fan
and friend of ours (who this letter is directed to anyway), your first
thought is probably "NO!" and your second thought is "WHY?" Well, there
are many factors that have come into this decision to break up. Fortunately,
there is absolutely no drama going on between band members. We are all
still friends and hang out, and the last 7 years (or 2 or 3, depending
on member) have been some of the best of our lives. We got to tour the
world and make lifelong friends on the way. We all still love music and
love playing music. Sadly, the breakup is because of everything but the
music. Over the years, while steadily growing more and more successful,
we've also become more and more weighed down by the business end of the
music industry. The side that you guys don't see as music listeners is
immense. Managers, labels, sales numbers, sond scans, agents, producers,
accountants, lawsuits, royalties, contracts... the list goes on and on.
