Changes |
SMN reports: LINKIN PARK's Chester Bennington
has offered up this nifty little album update in a Q&A session with
the band's official webmaster. The talk surrounds the still untitled upcoming
album which is being produced by Rick Rubin:
What is the writing process like?
Its fun. We all get a chance to release
and contribute creatively. Rick Rubin, the producer on our new record,
has us working in a style that weve never done before, so its different
for us. Well come up with ideas individually then come together and work
on it as a band. We decide together what direction the songs will go...
but this album will be more vocally driven than any of our other ones.

Pleasureman |
TMZ reports: Could this possibly be real?
A recording artist proudly sporting a mullet, puckered lips and singing
songs about string bikinis?

Ambassador of Champagne, Glamour, Sex and Respect." The Swedish born singer
is out to "Sexualize The World" with his subtle but suggestive dance tracks
with titles like: "Ding Dong Song", "Teeny Weeny String Bikini", "Naughty
Boy" and "Tutti Frutti Summerlove".
Real or fake?
Well, it's REAL ... Rhino Records is set
to release the CD entitled 'Pleasureman' featuring the Sunshine Girls April

Meeting: Brodie |
antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard
to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was
time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better.
Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff
person's new profile page. So let's begin and get to know Brodie a little
better.
Brodie is from the Indiana side of Chicago
and has been with antiMusic for a year. The first CD he purchased was 'Out
of Time' by REM and his first concert was Petra in 1983. He lists The Cure,
Pixies, Brandtson, Guns N Roses, EARLY (pre-BLACK era) Metallica, Johnny
Cash, Tool , Black Crowes, Henry Rollins/Rollins Band, U2 as his Top 10
Favorite artists. His musical pet peeve is "crappy bands that do good because
of easily-led automatons, rather than the lesser known bands around who's
music warrants attention, much of which they never end up getting." His
favorite parts of antiMusic are the daily updates, music reviews. Click
the full story to learn more about Brodie and discover which artist he
would slap, which artist he thinks should be as big as the Beatles and
a lot more!
