is Crap |
Gigwise reports: [Beta Band/King Biscuit Time's
Steve] Mason may be undecided about his own music career but hes pretty
damn sure what should be done with those of Americas hip hop stars.
Speaking to the Fly Mason said of Hip Hop
after a night spent watching MTV: It hit me how nauseus and revolting
this pop form of hip hop is, and more importantly, how hip hops forefathers
are having their memories sullied by the mass market rubbish pedaled in
the name of hip hop.
Artists such as 50 Cent, Ja Rule and P
Diddy are taking the intent of hip hop and effectively wiping their arse
with it.[see full story for more]- Click

| Radiohead
CD in 07? |
antiMusic reports: Bad news for all creeps,
Radiohead are not planning to release their new album anytime this year.
This according to a press release from Capitol Records. However, we do
have good news for those lucky enough to attend the North American shows
we wrote about yesterday. Capitol Records says that "Set lists for the
shows will draw heavily on the newer material the band has been working
on over the past months."
If you missed yesterday's story, click
that handy full story link and the upcoming dates will magically appear!
(and to the moron that emailed us about yesterday's article, with the exception
of you, we were not calling our readers "creeps.," It's our petname for
Radioheads culled from the band's famous song "Creep". (Similar to our
bastardization of the term sweathog to describe Kelly Osbourne's 3 fans)
See you do learn something everyday. Please don't email mail to bitch us
out unless you know what you are talking about. That way, at least one
side of the exchange will be informed.)- Click

| Bowie
on Hold |
Ananova reports: David Bowie says he is taking
a year off from writing and performing because he's "fed up" with the music
industry.
"I'm fed up with the industry and I've
been fed up for quite sometime," the 59-year-old told the New York Metro.
"I'm taking a year off, no touring, no
albums. I go for a walk every morning, and I watch a ton of movies. One
day, I watched three Woody Allen movies in a row."[see full story for more]-

| Palmer
says ELP Reunion Unlikely, Asia Reunion Coming |
Day in Rock reports: Morley lined up another
music legend for his latest MorleyView. The one and only Carl Palmer of
King Crimson, Asia and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Morley and Carl discuss
a variety of topics including some disappointing news for ELP fans but
great news for Asia fans. Here are those excerpts.
antiMUSIC: Can you see any light at
the end of tunnel in ELP taking another stab at it?
Carl Palmer: We have no arrangements;
no plans to do that. We have another DVD which is coming out later on this
year, which was recorded at the Isle of Wight. We've done new interviews
for it. It's got high definition and the sounds real good. There are no
plans to do any recording or anything like that or any touring. I guess
if the right show came along, if it were charity, then yes we could look
at starting to play together again. Apart from that I doubt that we would
ever play again.
antiMUSIC: What can you tell us about
the recent rumblings that Asia was going to rise again?
Carl Palmer: Ah, Asia will actually
do something together again. We'll do something later on this year. End
of Aug, September and we will come to Canada. Hopefully in America. It's
the 21 Anniversary. It's just something we'd like to do. Who knows how
long we'll do it for: 2,3,4,5 weeks. That's where we are. We have no plans
to record. I wouldn't mind making a DVD. I think we'll play the whole of
the first Asia album. [see the full story for the entire MorleyView]
