antiMusic reports: Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson
is releasing her very first solo album, Hope and Glory, next week. The
album not only showcases Ann's amazing talent but she also got a little
help from her friends including Elton John, Gretchen Wilson, Alison Krauss,
Rufus Wainwright, and of course her sister Nancy. This week we get a little
preview with Ann telling us a little bit about a few of the tracks on the
CD. Here is Ann with today's song: Immigrant Song
My love of Led Zeppelin is very much a
matter of public record. Have I heard from the guys yet? No, and as Helen
Mirren said when she was asked about the Queen seeing The Queen, I don't
think we'll ever really know what they think of this. If you're going to
re-record a Zeppelin song, I think you have to reinvent it and that's where
Ben Mink just shone. Ben said, "Why don't we just start you out like Yma
Sumac and take the song way, way North African?" Our version starts a little
like a little dot on the horizon, but by the time it's done you've been
overrun by all the barbarians. - Preview

antiMusic reports: Bring Me The Horizon frontman
Oli Sykes has gotten away with urinating on a fan. The band's label issued
a short statement: "A charge of Common Assault against Bring Me The Horizon
frontman Oli Sykes has been dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service on
grounds of not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.
"The 20-year-old singer was charged with
Common Assault on the 8th of April this year after a 26-year-old woman
he met at Rock City, Nottingham, accused him of splashing urine on her
dress whilst she was present on their tour bus."
Drowned in Sound tell a bit different story
of the incident. They say that he was said to have urinated on a female
fan before throwing a bottle at her, leading to a facial injury and a witness
at the time reported: "He called her a dyke and first pissed on her before
him and the rest of the band threw her and her friend off the bus"?

antiMusic reports: Just when you thought R.Kelly
was finally going to get his day in court over those child porn charges,
the case has been delayed once again. But this time it's because of the
prosecution.
Jam! Reports: Five years after being charged
with child pornography, the R&B star's trial had been set to start
on September 17. But a Cook County judge has postponed it because the lead
prosecutor had a baby recently.
Kelly was charged in 2002 and is accused
of engaging in videotaped sex acts with an underage girl. Since his arrest,
the case has been hit with numerous delays. A new date hasn't been set.-

antiMusic reports: As we reported a couple
weeks ago Van Halen's snubbing of founding bass player Michael Anthony
has gone beyond not inviting him to participate in the reunion, the band
also removed his songwriting credits from the 1984 album and briefly removed
his image from the album art on their official site, replacing it with
Eddie's son Wolfgang. Now Anthony reveals that the bad blood reaches back
to before the band's 2004 reunion with Sammy Hagar.
In a new interview, Anthony says that he
found out about the current reunion with David Lee Roth online and confirmed
the rumor that Eddie Van Halen tried to keep him from taking part in the
band's 2004 reunion with Sammy Hagar. He explained where the bad blood
came from. "[Eddie] was always put off that I was going out and playing
with Sammy when we weren't doing anything. It wasn't like I was doing it
to spite anybody. I was just tired of sitting at home and doing nothing,"
Anthony tells Rolling Stone. "Sammy asked me one day if I would like to
come out and maybe make an appearance at one or two of [his] shows and
have some fun, and I said, 'Yeah, great.' It kind of snowballed into me
coming out and doing a few songs with him here and there."-

antiMusic reports: Klaxons have won the 2007
Mercury Prize. They beat out stiff competition from Amy Winehouse, Arctic
Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal and more with their Geffen debut Myths of the Near
Future. They also plan to give the cash prize to charity.
When receiving the award bassist/vocalist
Jamie Reynolds stated "The Mercury Prize is about pushing music forward
and this is what we did." Reynolds also said the band was "stunned'' because
of the competition from Winehouse and the Arctic Monkeys especially. "A
year ago today we were in the studio recording our album and watching the
Arctic Monkeys win the Mercury,'' Reynolds said, "...we did not imagine
that we would ever follow them or at least not so soon.''
Gigwise caught up with Reynolds and he
tells them of the band's plans for the prize money- more

PR reports: Al Jourgensen's band Ministry
may be releasing their final studio album - The Last Sucker - on September
18th on 13th Planet/Megaforce Records, but that doesn't mean Jourgensen
is saying good-bye to the inside of a recording studio. As a matter of
fact, Jourgensen plans to spend significantly more time in the studio doing
what he loves best - collaborating.
And collaboration is at the root of Cover
Up, a soon-to-be-released album of some of Al's personal favorite songs
being recorded by Ministry & Co-Conspirators in his El Paso, TX compound,
13th Planet Studios. Ministry and Co-Conspirators' Cover Up is expected
to street in April 2008.
In addition to core Ministry members guitarist
Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks) and bassist Paul Raven (Killing Joke/Prong/Mob
Research) Jourgensen enlisted an impressive group of co-conspirators for
Cover Up - Fear Factory front man Burton C. Bell (also Ascension of The
Watchers) sings on the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb," Tony Campos (bass)
and Wayne Static (vocals) from Static X are on the Beatles' "I Want You
(She's So Heavy)," and Prong's Tommy Victor (vocals) and Mountain's Leslie
West (guitar) do justice to Mountain's classic "Mississippi Queen." -
