of Birmingham and Christine Bajaj, 32, of Sterling Heights, told Auburn
Hills police they saw Mars reaching out to them, and thought he was trying
to pull them onstage, maybe to go backstage.[see full story for more]-

Force 5 has arrived |
Cornerstone reports: A phoenix rising from
the ashes of the Dirty South, Family Force 5 creates a lethal mix of punk,
rock, funk and mind-altering grooves that's guaranteed ghetto music straight
from the heart cut with a healthy dose of fried grits.
Formed 2 years ago in Atlanta, Family Force
5 re-define Rock from the South, combining OutKast with Rage Against the
Machine and beastie Boys with the White Stripes. Imagine Rick James fronting
the MC5 or Ronnie Van Zant as lead singer for the Gap Band. No other band
mixes new wave guitars with the nasty groove that can only come after a
lifetime diet of fried chicken and collard greens. [see full story for
the video to the first single from their debut album (due out sometime
early this year on Maverick)]- Click

| Birth
Of Americana |
conqueroo reports: HackTone Records and Shout!
Factory announce the CD release of Heartworn Highways, the whiskey-warm
companion album to the cult documentary of the same name. Recorded in 1975-76
in Nashville and Austin, Heartworn Highways captures the birth of an alt-country
movement light-years from the spit-polished Music Row. Armed with little
more than a camera and microphone (and maybe a case of Jack), the filmmakers
captured lightning in a bottle, spotlighting a particular band of brothers
- Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Rodney Crowell, John Hiatt, Guy Clark
and perennial outsider David Allan Coe - at the dawn of their careers.
They also captured inspired performances from relative unknowns Gamble
Rogers and Larry Jon Wilson that will instantly convert listeners into
adoring fans. What they walked away with is a document of the fierce, raw
talent burning at the core of some of the greatest singer-songwriters of
our time. The CD, produced with the direct involvement of the movie's original
producer, Graham Leader (In the Bedroom, etc.) and editor, Phillip Schopper,
features 20 audio performances recorded for the film, as well as key dialogue
excerpts. [see full story for more]- Click

| Editorial:
Why I think the WM3 are Innocent: Statistics, Stepdads & Serial Killers |
By JoFo: My reading habits last winter managed
to creep my kids out, which is an especially impressive feat, given the
fact that teenage boys comprise at least some of said kids. Books on serial
killers, "perfect" crimes, gruesome murders & their solutions occupied
my attention for a few months, for no particular reason. As I read these
books, I couldn't help but to think of the West Memphis Three & their
unfair trial & unjust conviction. Although none of the books pertained
to this case specifically, I managed to glean some understanding on the
case from the writings of experts on investigating murders & crime
scenes. [see full story for more]- Click

| Crimes
Against Music: Six Pence None the Wiser |
Day in Rock reports: Welcome to a new feature
to the Day in Rock. Every Friday we will highlight a new "crime again music".
You may ask what is a crime against music, simply put it is when a classic
song is misused (primarily in TV ads to sell crap). This is a heinous crime
on many levels. For one there is usually such a disconnect between the
original meaning of the song and the crap product being sold that it defied
logic. There are a dozen more reasons but we think you can figure them
out on your own. In a perfect world we would punish those responsible by
locking them in a dark room and subject them to a 24/7 rotation of songs
by Kelly Osbourne, Yoko Ono and Courtney Love but since that would probably
violate international torture laws, we have decided to call out the companies
responsible for their crimes.
We start off with an oldie but a goodie
that had previously been highlighted by one of our columnists. The disconnect
in this one is pretty funny but also very sad and it has the honor of being
a double crime against music. We are talking of course about Six Pence
None the Richer's cover of The La's classic "There She Goes". The cover
version in itself is humorous because here we have a "Christian" band covering
a song supposedly about heroin use. To compound this and why it is the
example we use to kick off this series is that this cover was used in advertisements
for birth control pills. Yes a Christian band singing a song about heroin
that was used to sell birth control pills. You can see how this qualifies
as a crime against music and overall good taste! It's just plain wrong
on so many levels. The only thing worse would be a tampon company using
Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" in an ad. (We better not give them ideas, but we
hope Eddie and company would never let their music be degraded at such
a level.) We must stop these crimes against music! So join us each week
as we call out another company for their crimes.
