CD In Nov |
Rolling Stone reports: From the annals of
We'll Believe It When We See It: A friend of ours with a retail source
has told us that the long awaited Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy,
has gotten a firm release date of November 21st. Under normal circumstances
we'd laugh at such an assertion - after all, this album has reportedly
cost more than $13 million and has been "due out" since 1998. But whenever
somebody has actually managed to get Axl to speak in the past few months,
he's said it's coming out before the end of the year. Plus, there was that
G n' R tour announcement the other day that alluded to a release date some
time in the next two months. Dare to dream, folks. Dare to dream. -

Digital Buy? |
music.tinfoil reports: Best Buy has decided
to dip its toes in the online music pond. Using RealNetwork's Rhapsody
music subscription service, Rhapsody DNA, and SanDisk's Sansa e200R Rhapsody
digital music player, the new Best Buy-branded service will be launched
on October 15.
The new music service enters an already
crowded field, one that is about to become even more competitive with the
launch of Microsoft's Zune music player and music service next month. Best
Buy hopes to entice users to try its new music service out by offering
buyers two months of free music from its music store. [see full story for

Your Momma's Skid Row |
antiMusic reports: Morley recently spoke with
Skid Row's Rachel Bolan about a variety of topics, most importantly they're
new CD Revolutions Per Minute which takes are markedly different musical
approach than the band that ruled MTV with "Youth Gone Wild". Here is an
excerpt where Rachel discusses the new album.
antiMUSIC: What can you tell us about
your new record?
Rachel: Well it's not your momma's
Skid Row record that's for damn sure. (laughs) The title Revolutions
per Minute speaks loudly. It just a...there's no ballads. And anything
we wrote...if it was quality, it went on the record. And we go in a bunch
of different directions. It's cool man. It's not what you would expect
out of us. I mean it's us. It's still got the Skid Row stamp on it and
there's stuff that's traditionally Skid Row. We have a few songs that sound
like, you know, a skinhead would put it on, and pump his fists to and yell:
"oi". And then we have stuff that you know maybe a guy riding a horse with
a punk rock chick on the back of his saddle would listen to. (laughs) Once
you hear it, you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about. [check out
