antiMusic reports: It's Tuesday so it must
be time for another UK Justice report with Pete Doherty getting busted
for drugs yet again! Stay tuned for a follow up story in a few weeks where
a judge once again lets him off with a slap on the wrist so he can get
arrested yet again. Must be some kind of strange full-employment program
for UK police.
Here is part of the BBC report: Pete Doherty
has been arrested for suspected drug possession after performing at the
V festival. The 28-year-old singer was arrested in the Tower Hamlets area
of east London in the early hours of Monday.
He is being held at an east London police
station after the car he was travelling in was stopped by police. A Metropolitan
Police spokesman said a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession
of drugs. - the

Hecklerspray reports: Unemployed, knocked
up and headed for the slammer - no, we can't imagine why nobody has whisked
Nicole Richie up the aisle either.
But all that looks set to change now, thanks
to the latest batch of rumours suggesting that Nicole Richie has got engaged
to her boyfriend and the father of the unborn foetus that's rapidly outgrowing
her, Joel Madden from horrible p[o]nk boyband Good Charlotte.
And, even though neither Nicole Richie
or Joel Madden have confirmed the engagement rumours, we should apparently
take them slightly more seriously than the last lot of Nicole Richie/ Joel
Madden engagement rumours which, in turn, we took slightly more seriously
than the Nicole Richie/ Joel Madden engagement rumours that came before
those. And so on and so on, until someone somewhere hints that they'll
even semi-consider caring about how engaged Nicole Richie is.-

PR reports: Arthur Alexander was the only
songwriter to be covered by the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan.
The Beatles and Stones both modeled their early sound after him. "When
the Beatles and The Rolling Stones got their first chance to record," says
Keith Richards, "one did 'Anna' and the other did 'You Better Move On.'
That should tell you enough." Yet by 1980 he had mysteriously vanished.
Alexander was driving a bus in Cleveland when he was rediscovered in the
early '90s, and was convinced to make a new album following his long absence.
The resultant Lonely Just Like Me on Nonesuch Records received some of
the highest critical praise given to a pop music album in the year 1993.
And now with HackTone Records' expanded
reissue, Lonely Just Like Me: The Final Chapter, set for September 25,
2007 release, Arthur Alexander appears headed for similar media citations.
Sadly, however, he died shortly after the release of the 1993 Nonesuch
volume, just as critics were filing their appraisals. With the reissue
set to break shortly, now might be a good time to reflect on some of those
1993 reviews.

PR reports: New York-based group Stand's fourth
album "Travel Light" takes the band's music to new levels and will surely
garner them high praise from fans and critics alike. Originally from Dublin,
Ireland, this quartet blends lush melodic arrangements around the vocals
of the band's two distinct voices, offering audiences a sound that combines
thoughtful lyrics with one-of-a-kind melodies.
"Stand's brooding but energetic and melodic
rock has drawn comparisons to Coldplay, Pink Floyd, and Gang of Four,"
says Kay O'Day from Buffalo's Art Voice. "'Travel Light' is quite different
from anything they've done in the past, concentrating on the strengths
surrounding the band's two lead vocalists."
Stand will kick off their tour at Joe's
Pub in New York City- more

PR reports: Global sales of Nelly Furtado's
third album, Loose, have passed 6.1 million and counting. No other female
recording artist has achieved this level of sales during the past year,
according to Universal Music Group.
Nelly is certainly a self-sufficient recording
artist. She can not only write the songs, record and perform them, but
now she can successfully direct the supporting video as well. Nelly Furtado
took her first turn in the director's chair with a sassy video for her
new single "Do It." MTV added the video directly into The Big Ten, the
channel's heavy rotation category. "Do It" also enjoyed a TRL World Premier
during Backstage Pass Week the beginning of August, with Nelly calling
into the show via webcam from Portugal.
