Diddy Denies Tupac Conspiracy |
"The story is a lie," the hip-hop mogul said in a statement Monday. "It is beyond ridiculous and completely false. Neither (the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.) nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened.

The Wedding Present Return |
Written while frontman David Gedge was living in Los Angeles, El Rey burns with West Coast sunlight; Hollywood seen through the eyes of a gritty British Northerner. Speaking about El Rey in MOJO Magazine recently, Gedge said: "I've been living in West Hollywood for the last year or so, and while I'm not going to claim that this is my 'L.A.' album, there are some references. I suppose the themes are lust, jealousy, betrayal, regret, obsession, super-heroes. the usual. We chose to record with Steve this time because the new songs were sounding very guitar-ry and quite dark. It's been good. As you'd imagine, really; Albini knows his stuff."
TWP returned from an eight-year hiatus in early 2005 with the release of Take Fountain.

The documents, filed by Hannah Montana's parents Leticia and Billy Ray, indicate the reason for the name change as "Destiny Hope Cyrus has been commonly known as Miley Cyrus since she was a young child. The Change of Name is requested to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name." [They left out that is also rights the cruel injustice of her silly birth name.]

The Latest Stupid Idea: Web Tax To Save The Music Biz |
Like most completely implausible concepts, this one has its ups and downs, but no one actually believes this is ever going to happen, right? Well, Washington Post blogger Kim Hart actually sees some future in the idea.
The new idea on the table: Internet service providers would tack a small fee ($5 for example) onto monthly bills for broadband connections. The money would then go to the music industry to help compensate labels, performers, song-writers and other artists for music shared online.

Senses Fail Begin New CD |
The Loose Acoustic Trio Soph |
Sorrow Be Gone, the band's second release, is spearheaded by a grin-inducing interpretation of The Who's classic rock cornerstone "Pinball Wizard," which will likely focus 15 minutes worth of attention on the band. Which is hopefully enough time for the band's thoughtful original songs to sink in.
