Blabbermouth reports: NBCSanDiego.com reports
that video footage has surfaced of the incident Saturday night (August
5) when nearly 100 fans were hurt after thousands of rock fans surged forward
at a San Diego performance by TOOL.
The Los Angeles band was the headliner
Saturday night at the Street Scene 2006 music festival in the parking lot
of the Qualcomm Stadium. The group had just taken the stage.
"Everyone was getting pushed up toward
the front," said Eric Hanau, who was at the show. "People were getting
crushed."
In the end, more than a dozen people went
to the hospital after being crushed. One person is being treated tonight
for life-threatening injuries. Multiple ambulances and paramedics were
sent to the venue in the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot when the crowd got
out of control [see full story for more including a video report] -

Makes Sluts |
hecklerspray reports: There's nothing we like
more than a good scientific study, especially if it concludes that children
will basically turn into sex-crazed nymphobeasts within seconds of hearing
a vaguely sexy pop song.
That's more or less the point of a study
published in Pediatrics magazine, which has linked underage sex with children
listening to songs with lyrics about sex. And it's a fair point, too -
who can't say they've been influenced by the lyrics of a pop song now and
again? For example, would we have precociously tried to forcefully sex
up a librarian in 1991 if it weren't for Color Me Badd? No, but you try
telling that to the police. .[sure blame it on the music, hormones have
nothing to do with it

| Dillinger
Injury Plan |
SMN reports: The Dillinger Escape Plan have
posted the following update:
"Because there have been numerous people
wondering what the fuck is going on, and because we haven't said anything
yet, I feel as though we need to address what people who have been to the
last two shows already know. Ben Weinman had to fly home the morning of
August 4th to deal with some personal issues, and could not play the final
four shows of this tour. Ben has played through injuries too numerous to
count, and severe enough that most people wouldn't have even gotten out
of bed, let alone play intense and physically demanding shows. He has played
through sickness and ignored family emergencies to never ever miss a show,
so when he tells me that he has to go home I know that he has to go home.

Stuck |
Gigwise reports: Portishead have revealed
that their eight years in the making third album is set to be delayed again.
Fans had hoped that the album would shortly
see the light of day after Geoff Barrow announced in June that the album
was coming together for the first time in ages.
However, posting on the bands myspace page
Barrow announced that the follow up to 1998's 'Roseland NYC Live' isn't
going as well as he'd like. He wrote: "Work ain't good at the moment. We've
got stuck. Just a few more months and we can really go at it. Working everyday
on this fucker. It's really hard not to sound like you're doing a bad impression
of yourself." [see full story for more]- Click
