 Punk
Murder |
punkbands reports: James Morrison, 25, was
killed following an altercation at a hardcore show in Asbury Park, NJ this
past weekend. According to the Asbury Park Press, there was an argument
and a fight, "which at some juncture, proceeded outside," said First Assistant
Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter Warshaw. "The exact role that Mr. Morrison
played in any of this remains under investigation," said Warshaw. "Police
are still working to piece together precisely what happened." Warshaw also
said the death did not seem gang related.
Morrison's mother talked to her son's friends
and told the paper, "They were sitting at the bar and had a couple of drinks.
There was something where guys were arguing and, out of the blue, one guy
threw a bar stool at my son and hit him in the head." She said her son
was struck by a stool a second time, this time in the side of his body.
Lorrie Morrison said her son and his friends were asked to leave the club,
and her son was dazed, so his friends helped him out. "Out of the blue
someone came from behind . . . and hit him in the head," she said. His
friends heard a loud crack, and her son fell to the ground.[see full story

TRL? |
punkbands reports: There's reports going around
that MTV's once popular afternoon show "Total Request Live," which helped
launch the careers of Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights and others, will
be sh*t canned. With TRL gone, the network will probably take the show,
re-package it, and pass it off as a new show because executives there most
likely figure their audience are dumb little kids who won't know the difference.-

Z's Dog Fur Coats |
TMZ reports: A jacket from Jigga's clothing
line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it's advertised
as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society
of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur
from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims
are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar.
As of today, the $265 coat was still a
"featured" item on the Rocawear website. Late last year, a similar investigation
found that raccoon dog fur was being used in a coat in rap mogul P. Diddy's
"Sean John" collection; that item was removed from stores within a few
days.
Reps for Jay-Z and Rocawear could not immediately
be reached for comment. The Humane Society said that it informed the company
of the issue a week ago, but that they've taken no action. [so in other
words, avoid "fur coats" from all rappers.. you shouldn't be buying them
anyway but here is another reason to avoid them.] - Click

| Cavern
50th Birthday |
AP reports: The stuffy cave-like club where
the Beatles staged some of their earliest performances celebrated its 50th
birthday Tuesday.
The Cavern Club - a former fruit warehouse
cellar and air raid shelter - opened as a jazz venue in 1957 with the Merseysippi
Jazz Band, but it was the advent of rock `n' roll that popularized the
club where music producer Brian Epstein eventually discovered the Fab Four.[see

Pukes on Boyfriend |
hecklerspray reports: [couldn't resist this
one…] The other day we were idly compiling a list of all the various ways
that Britney Spears had alienated whatever fans she had left, and we realised
that - hey - Britney Spears hadn't barfed copious amounts of runny vomit
all over a boy yet.
Well, there is a God and he appears to
be listening. According to reports, Britney Spears has been continuing
to get over her messy split from Kevin Federline by treating her new boyfriend
Isaac Cohen to the sort of lifestyle that only the fallen princess of pop
can give a man; a weekend in a ridiculously overpriced hotel and a very
special gift - the gift of spewing unrelenting torrents of warm gushing
puke all over his clothes like an out-of-control fire hose attached to
a very ill man's guts.[see full story for more]- Click

Orchestra |
blabbermouth.net reports: Darcy Pohland of
WCCO.com reports that the Minnesota Orchestra is scheduled to perform a
special, "one night only" program of the songs of LED ZEPPELIN at the Target
Center in Minneapolis on March 3 at 8 p.m.
Michael Sutton, a violinist with the orchestra,
spent most of his work day rehearsing Schubert, but secretly he's humming
a different tune in his head, even though he wasn't sure how the orchestra
planned on pulling the concert off when they made their ZEPPELIN debut
last year.
"My reaction was, 'Really? How's that going
to work?'" he said, but added once they launched into the music, "everyone
was just going nuts. It's a real rush."[see full story for more]-
