Doherty Vs Geldof

He told The Mirror in a phone message, "Hello it's, errr, Pete Doherty here and I'm a little bit concerned about a story that's been going about saying one of Bob Geldof's kids is harassing me. I've been trying to ehhh, get hold of his number myself, but I've had a bit of, errr, trouble. So could you put in your paper Pete Doherty would like to apologize to Bob and his daughters."- Click Here for the Full Story

Southern Pantera

Day in Rock reports: You can now hear a track from Southern Isolation that features Phil Anselmo (Pantera / Superjoint Ritual / Down) on their Myspace page. Phil writes about Southern Isolation's Opal on the page "She is a breath of fresh air on a world of pre-programmed rap and hip-hop oriented drivel, full up to the hilt with mechanical lifelessness. All instruments are physically played by people!! Not programmed by pop-culture mongers out to sever the true vein of True musicians who want to carry on the perfect tradition of music from the late 60's to the mid 90's. And the scattered few modern bands that feel the same passion most of which lay in the deepest recesses of the underground (which still only compensate for a handful of bands). This is the goal of Baphomet/Housecore Records in general. Opal fits the mould perfectly. It will be a privilege and quite a ride to watch her grow as an artist and a personality, more to come...obviously." Click the full story link to check it out. - Click Here for the Full Story

Billy Joe Shaver Update

conqueroo reports: Five years ago, Billy Joe Shaver's life was marked by tragedy, death and his own failing health. As he prepares to unleash his first new studio album in three years, The Real Deal (Compadre Records) on September 20, his life has turned around. He's recently been featured on CBS's "60 Minutes II" with Dan Rather and NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross. He is scheduled to appear as a featured performer on an upcoming "CMT Outlaws" special and will perform the national anthem at the August 15 "Sirius Satellite Radio at the Glen" Nextel Cup NASCAR race in Watkins Glen, New York. Indeed it seems like he's experienced everything a musician can�except that he has never self-produced an album.

Shaver has been tapped to join Merle Haggard, Toby Keith, Jerry Lee Lewis, Shelby Lynne and more for CMT's highly anticipated "CMT Outlaws" concert special, reaching 100 million homes. He will be a featured writer at the 2005 Texas Book Festival in Austin this October promoting his autobiography Honky Tonk Hero (University of Texas Press). He is also a "spiritual advisor" to the Texas gubernatorial campaign of longtime friend Kinky Friedman. Last year he was named Texas State Musician by the Texas Commission on the Arts, and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame. Shaver will tour the U.S. (as well as every town in Texas) from the summer months well into the fall.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
