Filter reports: When US Customs seized Death
Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla's hard drive at the Canadian/US border last
week, an upset Walla quickly gave the media his side of the story. Now
it's time for the government to offer their side.
In an interview with MTV.com, US Customs
and Border Protection rep, Mike Milne explained that the seizing of Walla's
hard drive was nothing but "standard operating procedure".
Claiming exaggeration on the media's part,
Milne stated that the hard drive was confiscated for being "commercial
merchandise", not for the supposed claim of musical censorship. Milne is
even calling for the Associated Press, Barsuk (Walla's label) and Walla
himself to clear up the misunderstanding.- more

PR reports: Mavericks, the 1991 duo album
by Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey, will be reissued on January 15, 2008
on Collectors' Choice Music. The re-mastered new version of the album will
contain six previously unreleased tracks, making it indispensable even
for those who own the original Rhino recording.
Holsapple and Stamey had previously worked
together as charter members of the dB's in the early '80s, creating two
acclaimed albums: Stands for DeciBels and Repercussion. When Stamey left
the band to focus on his solo career, Holsapple kept the band together
for two more albums prior to departing to form the Continental Drifters.
In the summer of '90, they came together once again to record Mavericks
in their old stomping grounds of Hoboken, N.J., mixing at Bearsville Studio
in Woodstock, N.Y.
Holsapple and Stamey produced the album
themselves and welcomed several guest musicians of note: Jane Scarpantoni,
(Tiny Lights, Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M.), Chris Butler (The Waitresses
and veteran producer), Gene Holder (The dB's), Dave Schramm (The Schramms),
Ilene Markell (7 Deadly 5, Wednesday Week) and Michael Blair (Tom Waits).-

antiMusic reports: As promised we are going
to let the members themselves have the final word about the Bon Jovi fanclub.
We were contacted by several members, many with problems with the club
and a few that have no problems with how it is run. Here are some of those
emails but be warned this is rather long since we are running most of what
they sent to us:
LK starts off with this email: As a
current member of RipOffWithJBJ, I'd like to question the top ticket price
you've quoted in your article. Top price is, in fact, $3000. It includes
dinner with the stage crew. Forgive me if I'm totally underwhelmed. Dinner
on a Backstabbers event consists of a finger buffet, if you're lucky. At
the O2 event in London, they even forgot to arrange that!
Matt Bongiovi now heads-up the fan club,
having taken over from his mother last year when she retired. Fans are
now secondary to the mighty dollar and ticket sales have become a scalpers
playground. Fans are being shut out of sales by inadequate servers and
staff incompetence. If you make any complaint on the site, you are banned.
If you PM the management team, you are ignored as your PM is not read.
If you e-mail the management team, you are ignored. The new fc ethos is
"This is the way it is, so tough!"
Sad to see a once great fan club die,
but that's what's happening. More and more fans are either refusing to
renew memberships or being banned out of hand for daring to voice an opinion.
I personally will not be renewing. I can't afford to pay both fc dues and
a huge mark-up on prices. European ticket prices have been rising for many
years but, if the New Zealand show prices are anything to go by, Bon Jovi
are no longer a blue-collar band who keep prices affordable. Jon Bon Jovi
has always said that the last word on all things band related is his. Does
he not have enough money in the bank? Does he now need to rip-off the fans
who made him? Thank you for bringing this situation to the attention of
the ticket-buying public. Someone has to! - more

Boy, hasnt this one stirred
up some buzz? Considering the press Akercocke received in both positive,
but mainly negative manners just for naming their fifth LP Antichrist,
you could tell these oddballs were going to surprise a lot of people with
this record, and they sure as hell did.- Read

The native Californian's dream
is not to be signed to a major record label but to be able to go on tour
using a bus instead of the van he presently uses. Singer, songwriter, and
pianist Ernie Halter says that you've made it as a famous person when people
recognize you in the airport. -
