while the band was performing the song "7 years down" from their Let's

Lars Fredrikssen fainted. Guitarist/vocalist Tim Armstrong and bassist/vocalist
Matt Freeman rushed to their bandmate lying on stage, looking very preoccupied.

to announce Fredrikssen had suffered a seizure and was hurried to a Montreal
hospital. They also told the crowd that the band would come back to play
another gig pretty much as soon as Fredrikssen would be back and healthy."[see

Results |
antiMusic reports: For those that give a damn,
here are the winners of the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards from Thursday night:
(but we begin with the deep question, what is the criteria for the rap
video award and how is it different than the hip-hop video award? And how
does a band that released their debut in 2001 qualify as the best new artist?)
Video of the Year: Panic! At the Disco,
"I Write Sins not Tragedies"
Best Male Video: James Blunt, "You're Beautiful"
Best Female Video: Kelly Clarkson, "Because
of You"
Best Group Video: The All American Rejects,
"Move Along"
Best Rock Video: A.F.I., "Miss Murder"

Music Store |
music.tinfoil reports: MySpace, the wildly
popular online teen hangout, said on Friday it will make its first move

| Isley
Tax Prison |
antiMusic reports: Isley Brothers frontman
Ronald Isley has been sentenced to three years and one month in prison
for tax evasion. The court also ordered him to pay $3.1 million in back
taxes.
Isley was convicted last year for willful
failure to file a tax return and five counts of tax evasion. Isley's attorney
tried to convince the judge during the sentencing hearing to give the singer
probation because of Isley's poor health due to a recent battle with kidney
cancer and a stroke. U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson reportedly instead
followed federal sentencing guidelines when handing down the sentence and
there is speculation that Isley will be sent to a prison hospital facility.

| MSG
finished |
KNAC reports: In late August, it was announced
at Michael Schneker's official website that "due to the serious familiar
(sic) problems of MSG singer Jari Tiura" the band has bumped their planned
U.S. tour to 2007.
Tiura: " The Sun Will Shine. New album
title? Take care and turn this all into music. Be strong!"
Schenker: " I have quit playing.
.How
can I be strong after you decide not to continue with the rest of the tour.
I have given you the chance to be on the most important album of MSG. You
canceled US after I have put all my money into this project. This is an
insult. I am tired of changing musicians and singers. MSG is finished and
I am not inspired anymore. The sun will shine? What sun are you talking
about? What next album are you talking about? You fucked me and went your
way. The sun is not selfish."[see full story for more]-
