Worst |
hecklerspray reports: We'll come clean here
- we don't know who Mr Blackwell is. He's a fashion critic, we're told.
And he's got the most irritating writing style we've ever seen. And he
doesn't like Britney Spears very much.
For 46 years, Mr Blackwell has been handing
out annual worst-dressed awards to celebrities who can't wear clothes properly,
or something. And the winner of Mr Blackwell's worst-dressed award this
year is none other than saggy pop princess Britney Spears. Even though
Britney was a bit pregnant for a lot of 2005, it hasn't stopped Mr Blackwell
from digging his claws into her sartorial style.[see full story for more]-

| Bayside
Acoustic |
Victory reports: a CD/DVD called Bayside Acoustic,
will hits stores on February 28th. Bayside have always performed as an
electric four-piece in the past, but the tragic death of their drummer,
John Holohan, in October of 2005 resulted in front man Anthony Raneri and
guitarist Jack O'Shea finishing the tour as an acoustic two-piece. The
response to their set was incredible, with fans watching each song in reverent
silence, only to erupt at the close of each. The set was praised in NY
Newsday and the New York Times, but it was the intensity of their fans'
reactions that made releasing their songs in this format inevitable.
The CD will contain a new song, "Winter",
acoustic studio versions of "Blame It On Bad Luck", "They Looked Like Strong
Hands", "Masterpiece", "Montauk", and "Devotion and Desire". [see full

Peart DVD |
V Entertainment Network reports: Neil Peart,
one of the most proficient drummers and articulate lyricists in Rock history,
and member of the renowned group Rush, recently released his first instructional
DVD, the double-disc, "Anatomy of a Drum Solo" (Hudson Music / Rounder-Universal).
It features newly-recorded, in-studio footage of legendary drum artist
Peart, also known as the "Professor," analyzing, discussing and dissecting
his unique approach to the art of soloing. "The drum solo is a tradition
handed down to us, our heritage, as it were, and it is a heritage worth
celebrating," Peart says. "Giants have come before us, and giants will
come after, but even while us mere mortals play in their shadows, we can
be inspired to aim just a little higher every day or every night." [see
