The West Memphis 3 |
antiMusic reports: Over the next few weeks
we will be highlighting new and past articles dealing with the West Memphis
Three, a case where 3 young men were convicted of murder based primarily
on the way they dress and the music they listen to, not evidence. Travis
Becker, who suggested this special, will check in with an editorial about
the case, Dolly will have a special Pop 9 about it, as well as other special
features both past and present. We kick off with this article written by
former antiMusic writer Goth Brooks in 2000 which gives details about the
case and highlights why we feel this still warrants special attention.
Click the full story link to read Goth's article. (writers/editors from
other sites, you are welcome to reprint any of our original articles in
this special. If you decide to run special articles of your own, please
let us know so we can tell our readers about them. What happened to the
WM3 could have happened to any one of us. Free the Three!]-

| Moby
Vs Eminem |
Gigwise reports: Moby has launched an attack
against The Prodigy and Eminem for their misogynistic lyrics.
"And now we find out that a British man
who is obsessed with Eminem killed a woman with a metal baseball bat and
stuffed her body into a suitcase. Am I being 'too uptight' for not seeing
the humour in this?
"Should I 'relax' and see the comedy in
a misogynist beating a woman to death? Before this British man brutally
killed this woman he was singing Eminem songs in a karaoke bar. Maybe there's
no connection. Maybe there is. It's disgusting that we even have to ask
that question."[see full story for more]- Click

Out Ok For Aerosmith |
Blabbermouth reports: AEROSMITH has signed
on for another ad campaign, this one for Target stores. Group members Steven
Tyler and Joe Perry have previously appeared in an ad for the Gap, while
AEROSMITH has leased its songs for commercial use by DaimlerChrysler and
General Motors. While rockers once avoided such deals, Perry told Launch

to it, and they don't look at it the way we used to," he explained. "It's
a great way to hear new music � I mean, I hear new stuff all the time on
the, on TV 'cause of commercials � and some good old stuff, too." [see
