BW&BK reports: STUCK MOJO have made available
their entire new record, Southern Born Killers. About distributing the
album for free, guitarist Rich Ward (also FOZZY) explains:
"You read that right! Download the songs,
share them with your friends and, if you like what you hear, let potential
new fans know where they too can get the songs for free. Why would we give
the songs away for free? Well, we've been recording records for free for
almost twelve years now anyway! Of course it wasn't free to you, the fans.
You thought you were supporting the band as you shelled out 16 bucks to
a retail store which kept five or six of those dollars for a few inches
of shelf space and the rest ended up at a record company in New York, Los
Angeles, London or Germany.[see full story for more and the link]-

Richie DUI |
TMZ reports: TMZ has learned that Nicole Richie
was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today
and was released 45 minutes ago. The booking sheet reveals Richie is 5'1"
and 85 lbs. A rep for Richie could not immediately be reached for comment.
We're told her SUV was spotted by two motorists
going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.
When the CHP responded, Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was
alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle, Richie was on her
cellphone.
Law enforcement officers tell TMZ Nicole
Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot. A preliminary alcohol
screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.-

| Impetigo
Convulsions |
SMN reports: After a nearly 12 year hiatus
from the metal underground, Stevo (IMPETIGO) announces his newest project
CONVULSIONS!!
What can you expect from this outfit? Think
of the big three
MASTER, AUTOPSY, and REPULSION
sprinkle in some MANTAS,
MASSACRE, SLAUGHTER, MACABRE, and CELTIC FROST, and you've got a pretty
good idea. The band aspires to write and perform musick that honors these
giants (very much in the same way that IMPETIGO did)
if you are hoping
to hear "original" or "innovative" material, consider your hopes dashed.

| The
Deal with Birds Of Avalon |
PR reports: Raleigh, North Carolina's Birds
Of Avalon, who feature Paul Siler and Cheetie Kumar formerly of The Cherry
Valence, have signed to Volcom Entertainment. Their as yet untitled album
is in the final stages of mixing with producer's Mitch Easter (R.E.M.,
Let's Active, Wilco), Greg Elkins and Brian Quast, and will be released
this coming Spring 2007.
Having developed a unique psychedelic meets
progressive sound that yields feelings that transcend the conventions of
both, the Birds Of Avalon skillfully channel elements of a time in Rock
since past, while representing their current place in the lineage of North
Carolinian independent rock heritage. Easily traversing the gray area between
raw blues rock and atmospheric pysch-pop, Birds Of Avalon have recorded
a self titled e.p., toured up and down the east coast, throughout the Midwest
and eventually around the entire US earlier this summer, sharing the stage
with luminaries such as Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Fucking Champs, Big
Business, Oneida, Mudhoney, Valient Thorr, Destroyer, Federation X and
Drunk Horse.- Click
