| iPod
Jeans |
hecklerspray reports: Hey, you look like you've
got more money than sense. Step inside, we've got quite an offer for you.
That's a nice iPod you have, but isn't it a chore having to take it out
of your pockets sometimes?
Imagine the unbelievable stress on your
arms each time you have to haul your iPod from the pocket of your jeans
to turn it on or off or to work out what blindingly esoteric song your
impeccably varied playlist has thrown up. Wouldn't it be so much easier
if someone just invented a pair of iPod jeans? Guess what - someone has
done just that. The Levi's RedWire DLX iPod jeans are going on sale in
the autumn.[see full story for more]- Click

| YOB
Split |
Metal Blade reports: This is Mike from YOB.
I regret to say that YOB is disbanding after almost 10 years of existence.
The time we spent with YOB exceeded our wildest expectations and hopes
and it has truly been a dream come true. Travis Foster and Isamu Sato left
the band in July, and I have been trying to decide what to do for the last
six months. YOB has had 3 other line-ups, but this one was the best. At
the end of the day the best thing for YOB is to call it a day. I want to
thank everyone who has been supportive to YOB over the years....labels,
bands, fans, the venues, our families....without you none of this would
have been possible. I will be working on a new band called AGE that will
very much be in the vein of YOB, with some new twists. Until then, be well
and stay HEAVY! ENDLESS DOOM!!! Mike/YOB- Click

ways with drummer Damon Richardson. "The separation is an amicable one
and Damon cites fatigue as his reason for parting," the band write in a

VH1 |
KNAC reports: What Ken Burns did for jazz,
VH1 does for heavy metal -- only a lot louder. "Heavy: The Story of Metal,"
premiering Monday -- Thursday, May 1-4 at 9PM* each night traces the evolution
of heavy metal music and culture, from its dark, grim beginnings in Birmingham,
England to the worldwide force that it remains to this day.
In a series of four themed hours, "Heavy:
The Story of Metal," explores four decades of music, each hour examining
this powerful and often misunderstood genre, from metal's pioneers to its
love of glam and excess; from the fight for metal's rebellious soul to
its storied flirtation with the devil[see full story for more]-
