£41m to British record companies after breaking a deal to stop selling

Sludge Sludged by Hacker |
Idolator.com reports: Our pals at MetalSucks.net
noticed that the hard rock scandal sheet Metal Sludge has been the victim
of a recent hack; it's the latest sad chapter in the site's recent decline,
which was previously marked by less frequent updates and a sorta gentler
tone about even the most absurd aspects of the L.A. Guns/L.A. Guns fracturing.
Normally, we wouldn't blink our eye at a lonely guy who calls himself "Whizzo"
doing his thing on the Internet, but judging by this thread on the site's
Gossip Board, the hack has been in effect since Sunday afternoon--an eternity
in Internet time, which is worrisome to us. Is this the end?[see full story

| Sid
and Nancy Conspiracy |
punkbands reports: ...a former bandmate of
Sid Vicious says the iconic bassist was not the one who killed Sid's girlfriend,
Nancy Spungen in 1978. "Sid didn't kill Nancy, I know that for a fact.
I know who did it. He was a drug dealer from New Jersey who robbed the
flat where Nancy was stabbed. Why would Sid rob himself?
The revelation comes from Steve Dior on
postchronicle.com. Dior briefly played with Vicious in a band called The
Idols.
"This guy's fingerprints were on the knife,
but New York Police didn't want to get into it. It was a case closed if
they pinned it on Sid, they didn't care if Sid Vicious went to prison.
I'm trying to tell more people about it."[see full story for more]-
