Snoop Brawl
antiMusic reports: Snoop is in the dog house in England after he and his entourage where at the center of a brawl with police at Heathrow airport that left seven officers injured and Snoop in the big house. 

Snoop Dogg was released on bail Thursday afternoon after being held overnight at a London police station. Snoop and his posse stopped off in Heathrow on their way to South Africa where Snoop was scheduled to perform at The People's Celebration Concert. 

The brawl reportedly started when members of Snoop's posse were denied entry to the first-class lounge of British Airways, according to the Times Online. Members of the posse allegedly started throwing whiskey bottles at a duty free shop and began arguing with staff members. Police arrived and reportedly told the posse they would not be allowed to board their flight. That's when all hell broke loose and the mob became "abusive and pushed the officer," according to a British Airways spokesperson. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Dead Oc
punkbands reports: From alternativetentacles.com: We are again getting reports of a Dead Kennedys song turning up in a truly putrid TV show behind Jello's back. This time, instead of "American Idol," it's "California Uber Alles" used by "The OC" But again, we need visual proof. The Dead Kennedys partnership is now run in Cheney-esque secrecy, so a simple inquiry to East Bay Ray seems useless.

Meat Puppets Return

I would say 'sonic pyramids made out of garbage.' I honestly think these are good songs. I played some of them for [Cris] over the phone yesterday. I don't think this is going to be some sort of 'toss off' album. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
