Gigwise reports: Diddy he brawl? Maybe someone
made fun of his silly stage names or called his music shiddy and he took
offense? All we really know is what Gigwise reports in the following story:
US rapper P Diddy has been accused of throwing two punches during a brawl
at a nightclub on Saturday (October 13th).
The alleged incident is said to have taken
place at Kiosk, in the Soho district of New York, at 3.30am after the rapper
real name Sean Coombs became involved in an altercation with another
nightclub goer.
The New York Post says that Coombs argued
with Steven Acevedo outside the venue before police intervened in the incident.
It's reported, however, that after being provoked again, Coombs launched
two punches and shouted at Acevedo, "I'll kill you, punk!"-

Contact Music reports: These days you need
an edge when trying make your CD a blockbuster seller. Perhaps it's a silly
feud between rappers? Or better yet, you can get all kinds of attention
with a controversial name. That's the road Nas is taking according to this
Contact Music report: NAS is set to test hot-button race issues in rap
by naming his next album NIGGA.
While many of his peers are apologising
for using the 'N' word in past lyrics and refusing to use the derogatory
term, the defiant I Can hitmaker is challenging the politically correct
by using it to title his next release.
Nas told fans during a Friday night (12Oct07)
show at New York's Roseland Ballroom, that he plans to release the album
by the end of 2007. The album will be the follow-up to Nas' critically
acclaimed Hip-Hop Is Dead album.- more

antiMusic reports: Was Radiohead's whole "pay
what you want" to download our new album all just an elaborate publicity
scam to encourage fans to pay for the music twice? Was the sinister plan
to offer the physical CD in a few months with extra tracks and use the
download as a way to encourage fans to buy the CD when it hits shelves?
That's one of the arguments in a story USA Today ran on Monday which said
in part:
Radiohead's management also confirmed that
a physical CD of In Rainbows will hit shelves sometime in January, possibly
with extra songs.
In an interview last week with British
trade magazine Music Week, Radiohead's longtime managers, Chris Hufford
and Bryce Edge, acknowledged that the download offer was a piece of a larger
puzzle to generate more publicity for the CD release.
"If we didn't believe that when people
hear the music they will want to buy the CD, then we wouldn't do what we
are doing," Edge said.- Read

Metal Underground reports: They've sung about
'Dirty Deeds' for decades, but with a younger online audience hardcore
headbangers AC/DC are cleaning up their act. For years the domain name
acdc.com was held by a porn site with metal fans perhaps getting more than
they bargained for every time they clicked.
But after years of wry tolerance the band's
management in New York has finished negotiations to reclaim the name and
launch the brand at its rightful place online. AC/DC label manager Sam
Horsburgh from Albert Productions in Sydney said with fans as young as
10 or 11 turning to the site something had to be done.
"The demographic of the band has shifted
a lot," Mr Horsburgh said. "The push to get it back came predominantly
because they knew there were a lot of younger fans coming through. The
young fans are so net savvy it's the first thing they do. And there was
some interesting viewing up there for some time."- more

antiMusic reports: There is no better way
to solve the world's problems then hosting a concert. Look at the successes
of past like the Concert for Life which cured AIDS and Live 8 which ended
third-world debt. Let's not forget Al Gore who ended global warming and
even won a nifty prize with his cleverly named Live Earth concerts. But
poor Bryan Adams has been robbed of his opportunity to finally settle the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some pesky extremists caused the cancellation
of Adams' peace concert and we doubt they did it all for love. Here is
the Contact Music report: BRYAN ADAMS has been forced to scrap his peace
concert in Israel following a number of security alerts.
The concerts, calling for a solution to
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, were to be held simultaneously in Tel
Aviv and the West Bank town of Jericho on 18 October (07). But security
scares led to the Jericho gig being called off last week (ends12Oct07),
followed by the cancellation of the Tel Aviv concert on Sunday (14Oct07).
Organiser Daniel Lubetzky says, "Extremist
ideologists have threatened our participants in Jericho, and we felt it
is our responsibility not to play with their lives." [He then added] "Our
mission is not to entertain. It is to mobilize moderate voices. If we have
to postpone, we have to postpone."- more

antiMusic reports: Why do rockers insist on
giving their children silly names which will cause them all of kinds of
torture at the hands of other children on playgrounds for years to come?
We don't know but here is a story about the latest rocker to abuse the
naming game. Gigwise reports: Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Keidis
has named his newly born son, Everly Bear.
Keidis's wife, Heather Christie, gave birth
to the couple's first baby on October 2nd, and according to Keidis, they
choose the name from a list that they had compiled together.
"We had a long list of names, but suppose
it came to me by way of the Everly Brothers, which is one of my favourite
bands," Keidis told People. "The mama came up with Bear. That made sense
to me because he's from me and I feel like I'm part of the bear clan."
You gotta read why he says- next

PR reports: Stand up and speak to the hand!
Canada's favorite sons, Barenaked Ladies, cross the border for their first-ever
live DVD Talk To The Hand: Live In Michigan, available in stores on November
6 alongside their new live CD by the same name.
One of the top touring acts in North America,
the live album and DVD format were invented for bands like the Barenaked
Ladies, whose devoted fans (The Bare Nakeds) drove their podcasts to #1
on the US and Canadian iTunes charts, bought 10 million of their albums
and helped propel three albums to platinum status and three more to gold.
Their fans are also an important part of every Barenaked Ladies concert,
as the band members often stop the show to strike up conversations with
someone in the audience, singing impromptu songs about them or asking them
who they're talking to on their cell phone.
Filmed June 15th, 2007 at the DTE Energy
Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI in front of 15,000 fans, Talk To The Hand
contains a mix of the band's biggest hits such as their chart-topping "One
Week," and "If I Had $1,000,000," as well as some fan favorites like "Powder,"
and a selection of newer tracks off the band's most recent releases. Consumers
will have a choice of purchasing the concert live on CD with a companion
live DVD in the same package, or buying the DVD separately. -
