antiMusic reports: James Blunt seemed to come
out of nowhere a couple years ago to become an international superstar.
His highly anticipated new album "All The Lost Souls" is a certified smash,
topping charts across the globe last week and debuting at No. 7 here in
the US. This week we have a treat for Blunt fans old and new. We asked
James to pick some of his favorites songs from the new CD and tell us a
bit about each one. Here is James with today's song "Same Mistake":
"Same Mistake" I wrote while I was on
the road, and I can't remember exactly when - it was pretty early on, actually.
So we've been able to road test that for a while now, and we knew that
it went really well - so well that we actually stopped playing it for a
while just so we didn't bore ourselves by overplaying it and so hopefully
other people didn't hear it too much so when we released it on this album
it would be new and fresh to us all. Again, having toured it, we were a
bit nervous as to whether or not we'd be able to capture it in the studio,
but I think we've done it and that's a really exciting song.

Gigwise reports: Things have just gone from
bad to worse for Britney Spears – with new reports emerging that the pop-tart
has been caught up in yet another sex tape scandal.
Just one day after losing primary physical
custody of her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline, an unnamed 28-year-old
man has confessed his sex tales with the 25-year-old to a U.S. tabloid
magazine.
The mystery man - who bedded Spears while
she was vacationing on Hawaii in June 2007 – claims to have caught their
sweltering one night affair on tape. However her one-night-stand man claims
that he has refrained from releasing the tape because of his slapdash performance.-

Gigwise reports: Gigwise has been inundated
with messages from Led Zeppelin fans who are angry with Harvey Goldsmith's
announcement that no-one will be able to attend the o2 Arena without positive
ID matching their sign-up name.
The promoter seemed un-phased by news that
unique ticket codes given to successful ballot entrants were being sold
for over the odds prices, claiming anyone who buys one won't be able to
attend.
However, Led Zeppelin fans have now turned
on him claiming that it's the fans who are the victims here and not the
touts organisers are apparently trying to clamp down on. In a direct letter
to Gigwise, Led Zep fan Felix Carassco who has bought a ticket code, said:
"I find it a disgrace that Harvey Goldsmith is going after the real fans
after he is only selling 10,000 tickets for a 20,000 seater arena. I am
sure that the other half will be going to his company and friends and a
good few thousand 'guests'!- more

Jam! reports: Prosecutors are dropping a drug-and-gun
case against Jadakiss, a year after the rapper's arrest. His lawyer said
it was "a travesty that the case went this far."
The Westchester County district attorney's
office asked a judge last week to dismiss the charges against the rapper,
whose real name is Jason Phillips, and a co-defendant, Kristian Smith.
Phillips, Smith and Darnell Frazier were
arrested last October in Yonkers, the rapper's hometown-

Metal Underground reports: Shadows Fall has
announced two date changes on the upcoming Operation Annihilation tour,
a co-headlining trek with Static X also featuring 3 Inches of Blood and
Divine Heresy. The two dates both concern House of Blues venues positioned
on property owned by the Walt Disney company.
The October 20 date to take place at House
of Blues in Orlando, FL has been cancelled, and the October 31 date has
moved from the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA to the Galaxy Theatre in Santa
Ana, CA.
Shadows Fall frontman, Brian Fair, recently
posted the following message on the band's MySpace page: "Well my friends,
it is sad to say but it looks like Mickey can't handle the metal. We have
been informed that the Disney company has decided to cancel all metal shows
taking place at the House Of Blues on Disney property in both Anaheim CA.
and Orlando FL. I for one am surprised that Disney isn't down with the
metal. After all, what is more metal than freezing the decapitated head
of your founder and having secret security death squads lurking beneath
the underworld of an amusement park? This is a huge disappointment for
us as we have always had amazing sold out shows at both clubs. We will
be moving the Anaheim show to the Galaxy in Santa Ana, and cancelling the
Orlando date completely. In the meantime try and synch up your copies of
Reign In Blood with any animated Disney classic. Maybe the combination
with re-animate old Walt from his cryogenic state and have him get metal
back in these clubs!!!"

TuneLab reports: According to Jennifer Pariser,
the head of litigation for Sony BMG, copying music that you legally purchased
is stealing.
When asked if it was wrong for consumers
to make copies of music which they have purchased Pariser stated, "When
an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say
he stole a song. Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way
of saying 'steals just one copy'."
She went on to state that consumers have
no right to make backups of the music that they have purchased in CD format
or digital download. - more

MSO reports: As Underoath cross the U.S. on
their headlining fall tour with Every Time I Die, Poison The Well and Maylene
& the Sons of Disaster, they encountered an unexpected challenge at
Sunday night's show in Las Vegas. While in Las Vegas, Underoath drummer/vocalist
Aaron Gillespie had to undergo emergency surgery to treat an infection
in his hand.
In order to avoid canceling a slew of tour
dates (including some high-profile shows), the band enlisted the help of
drummer Kenny Bozich--a long-time fan of Underoath who was recruited by
Gillespie to join his solo project The Almost. Luck was on Underoath's
side, as they had to track down Bozich while he was hiking in the mountains
of Utah.
Bozich left the mountains with just enough
time catch a flight to Las Vegas that landed 25-minutes before Underoath
would take the stage Sunday night at the House of Blues. The band texted
Bozich a set list and he listened to the songs nonstop on the flight. The
group and Bozich had less than 5-minutes to talk before they took the stage,
the band and Bozich managed to still play a strong 40-minute set.-

PR reports: DJ Axel has released an all mashup
album titled "Breakin' The Law" on his own label Holden Records. The mashups
combine Hip Hop, Rock, Disco, Funk and Ballroom combining artists as diverse
as Van Halen vs T.I., Lena Horne vs 50 Cent and Stevie Wonder vs Snoop
Dogg.
"Breakin' The Law" is now for sale at over
25 stores in major markets across the USA. Since the CD is an unlicensed
bootleg album, most distributors are unwilling to carry the title. Axel
took it upon himself to distribute the album by calling and visiting independent
record stores. Retail and consumer response has been so positive that "Breakin'
The Law" is now in its third pressing. - more
