| Bizkit
Over |
Rockdirt reports: Those hoping for new material
from Limp Bizkit won't be happy to hear what Wes Borland had to say to
MTV News. "We're officially on hiatus, maybe even officially over," the
guitarist said. "It's kind of up in the air. No one said, 'We're done as
a band.' Everyone's just doing their own thing, and [some members] don't
have time for this band anymore. I haven't quit, but I've also decided
to stop thinking about Limp.[see full story for more]-

| Van
Halen RIP? |
KNAC reports: Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony
was interviewed in February 2006 for the April issue, which is out now.
...On the current status of Van Halen: "Well never say never but we're
currently in a state of limbo. After the reunion tour ended so abruptly
we all went into our own corners and truthfully Ed doesn't want to tour
right now or maybe ever again. I don't know what he's thinking at this
point. So I would say that we're on a temporary hiatus that possibly could
become permanent, you never know. With that said I realize that's not much
of an answer but that's really where things are right now and tomorrow
it could all change again."[see full story for A TON more, he discusses
a lot of issues like the reunion with Roth, the 04 tour etc]-

Mayhem |
Gigwise reports: Mayhem surrounded the Arctic
Monkeys appearance at South By Southwest on Friday, with nearly 4,000 fans
locked out of the gig.
Despite a lukewarm critical reception to
the start of the Monkeys American tour, it was estimated nearly half of
the festivals 10,000 attendees turned up to see the gig but Austin,
Texas La Zona Rosa venue could only accommodate 1,200.
A festival-goer says, It was manic. They
played La Zona Rosa, but at least half the 10,000 people at the festival
turned up hoping to get in. Official wristbands were swapping hands for
up to $1,000, even after they'd started playing, but most had to listen
through the doors."[see full story for more]- Click

idol |
hecklerspray reports: Shows like Pop Idol
and X Factor and American Idol are OK, but they're a bit old-fashioned.
Sitting in front of a TV and paying to vote? Bleugh. And don't even think
about entering the competitions.
The future to American Idol is here, and
it looks like Google Idol. Google Idol is a sort of online talent show,
and Google Idol is also ridiculously entertaining. The idea behind Google
Idol is a simple one - people lip-synch to popular hits of the day into
a webcam, bung it on Google Video and then send it to Google Idol, where
all manner of people can vote on it [see full story for more]-

| Capitol
Condos |
TMZ reports: Rumors that the Capitol Records
tower, which looks like a stack of records and is one of the world's most
recognizable buildings, could be sold to a developer who might convert
it into condos has sparked concern among city leaders and preservationists.
They say the building where Capitol Records
helped produce and distribute music for Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and
many other musicians, is too much of an icon to be turned into housing.

Nightwish? |

things: looks, charisma, courage and, of course, a big voice. Good grasp
of the English language is also very helpful. We don't necessarily need
a classically trained vocalist like Tarja Turunen (the former vocalist).
We welcome all kinds of styles and voices[see full story for more info]-

Reject Ozzfest |
Rockdirt reports: Seattle metal mainstays
Himsa spoke with Seattle Weekly about their decision to not participate
in this summer's Ozzfest tour, which forces acts to pay $75,000 to take
part in on the second stage. "We're taking summer off to work on our next
album," bassist Derek Harn said. "We can't afford to do Ozzfest. We were
up to play [the] Sounds of the Underground [tour], but they passed on us
for whatever reason. We'll do it next year, or the year after. There's
so much emphasis placed on those things, and so many bands that play so
early. Who wants 20 minutes onstage at 9:30 in the morning?[see full story
