Pot
TV for Michael |
hecklerspray reports: That George Michael,
he's one rock and roll motherlover isn't he? OK, so actually he's not -
in fact listening to a George Michael album tends to be a bit like carbon
monoxide suffocation without all the nice smells - but you get the idea.
After all of George Michael's rock and
roll scrapes - which mainly involve wanking and sleeping, to be fair -
you'd expect that George Michael would want to keep his head down. But
no. In fact George Michael is about to do the most shocking thing of his
entire career. Release a record that doesn't make us drop off faster than,
well, George Michael at a zebra crossing? No - more shocking than that.
George Michael is going to smoke a joint on television and then say how
much he likes it. It will shock and astound you, or at least it would if
pictures and quotes of every word he spoke during the interview hadn't
already been splashed all over the place, that is. [see full story for

that I have."[see full story for more]- Click

at Book Soup, former home of the Cinematheque 16, to host a poetry reading

Suffocation
Busless |
blabbermouth.net reports: SUFFOCATION drummer
Mike Smith has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "SUFFOCATION's
seven-week tour with FEAR FACTORY, HYPOCRISY and DECAPITATED, set to start
on the 22nd of October, has been jeopardized due to fraudulent bus companies.
"The story goes like this in this exact
order of circumstances: Four months ago we locked in tour bus arrangements
with ******** ******* ******* to drive SUFFOCATION and HYPOCRISY on the
U.S. tour. Three days before the tour was to begin, the bus company pulled
out leaving us to scramble with no replacement. In a panic we called multiple
bus companies to save the day, one of which was a company called ******
***** & ****, owned by **** ********* out of Philadelphia. Because
it was last minute, we were instructed to pay half of the cost upfront,
which we did close to $20,000. The bus never showed up[see full story

Rise
Against DVD |
punkbands reports: Rise Against announce that
they will be releasing a new DVD titled "Generation Lost". The band writers:
That's right, we finally have a DVD coming out. Our good friend Davy Rothbart
joined us last summer on Warped and filmed our weird lives in a documentary
called "How We Survive."
While the documentary certainly talks about
each of the band members, it also takes time to remove the spotlight from
the band and shine it deservedly on our amazing fans, who are the true
gears that keep us moving. We threw in some live footage from the Troub
in LA last spring, and a few more goodies so check it out when it comes
out on December 5th. - Click
