| Hall
of Jovi |
DiR reports: It appears the Hall of Fame UK
voters seem to think that Bon Jovi is on par with James Brown, Led Zeppelin,
Brian Wilson, Rod Stewart, Dusty Springfield and Sir George Martin. Johnny
Rzeznik, oops Jon Bon Jovi (sorry the haircut confused us), and his crew
of the cowboys on steel horses will be inducted into the UK Hall of Fame
on Monday November 13th by Dave Stewart and Kara DioGuardi of Platinum
Weird, according to Noble PR.
It's doubtful that they will perform one
of their biggest hits with the following amended lyrics� "Ooh we're half
way there�. Ooh ooh, living off our hair!". But you never know. Congrats
to the Jersey boys, the music industry couldn't have survived without your
noble contributions. - Click

Version of a Fruit Cake? |
DiR reports: Usually pop singers wait and
album or two to cash in on a xmas album, not so with the driving miss Lohan's
little sis. Thus this blurb we were sent [they suggested we add it to our
holiday guide]�. On November 21st, YMC Records and Lindsay's little sis,
Ali Lohan, are kicking off the Christmas season with the release of her

songs that celebrate her love of the Christmas season, Lohan Holiday is
sure to bring tidings of joy with an infectious and up-beat album that
features the hit single "I Like Christmas" and classic songs such as "Deck
The Halls," "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night." � In related news, CD sales
continue to plummet and the industry scratches it's collective head wondering
why and blaming it on MP3s� - Click

| Coheed
and Cambria Split |
punkbands reports: Alternative Press have
received official word that Mic Todd (bass) and Josh Eppard (drums) have
left Coheed and Cambria for personal reasons. The band's frontman Claudio
Sanchez told the magazine:
"For me, it's kind of hard to say exactly
why [they're out of the band]. There were moments where it felt like it
could've been creative differences and, maybe just a dislike of touring
[on their part]. I think that's really what's brought us to this moment.
It started off this summer with Josh giving us a call and saying, 'I can't
do this tour.' And, ya know, we couldn't really call it a tour if we didn't
get that call. He would always say he couldn't do it. [see full story for

| Thrice
Concept |
punkbands reports: Thrice are making speedy
progress on their upcoming 4-disc spanning concept album series, having
recently finished up sessions for the "earth" volume of the series: "We
closed out the Earth sessions yesterday with the tracking of "Come All
You Weary." That song ended up being the only song on Earth with any kind
of non-acoustic instrument or a full drumset. I tried my best at getting
Ri his "big John Bonham" drum sound in our pathetically tiny room, but
I think it turned out ok. It's fun sometimes having limitations because
you're forced to find creative ways to break them.
So we officially started the Water sessions
today by starting work on a track with the working title "Open Water".[see

| Victory
Vs Virgin |
Billboard reports: Victory Records has sued
Virgin Records and EMI Music North America for interfering with its contractual
relationship with the band HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS. Victory claims that the major-label
"poached" the band from the indie even though the group still had two more
records to deliver under its contract.
In the suit filed yesterday (Nov. 2) in
the federal District Court in Chicago, Victory alleges that the band was
happy with the indie until Virgin executives convinced them to sign with
the major. The band then hired a national litigation law firm and a public
relations company [see full story for more]- Click
