Fatal Stabbing At COC Concert |
AP reports that Tampa Police Spokesman Joe Durkin said a "shoving match" started between two women on the club's dance floor just before 11:30 p.m. Thursday night at the Masquerade club in Ybor City, Fl. The tussle escalated when others tried to break the women apart. That's when a bald man with a knife began stabbing patrons, Durkin said.
Thomas Laskas, a 30-year-old man from St. Petersburg, Fl. died from his injuries; his wife was in critical but stable condition at Tampa General Hospital on Friday. Two other people were treated for injuries and released, according to Billboard. [see full story for more including statements from COC]- Click Here for the Full Story

Night Ranger Vs NBC |
"We were absolutely stunned and appalled when we read that we supposedly pulled out after a bad rehearsal and that Paul Jackson would have the audacity to make the comment to US Weekly in regards to Night Ranger that 'You have to be good and prepared to do the show.' That statement is an absolute lie about the reasons for us not doing the show."

Coldplay Vs Indie Band |
After his ambivalent comments on Coldplay, respected journalist and critic Ken Tucker went on to praise and recommend Dressy Bessy: "What person with a healthy heartbeat wouldn't rather listen to Dressy Bessy. The band's new album Electrified is electrifying!" says Tucker. "I listen to a band like Dressy Bessy after listening to Coldplay and I think that I must be living in an alternate universe; where the spunkiest, most life-affirming music is pushed to the margins to make room for the coldly played stuff (now referring to Coldplay) that announces its intentions to be life-affirming, and then can't quite heave its huge ambitions into the postition of making good on that promise."

Live 8 Jet |
Since the concert line up was announced, critics have panned the event for the lack of youthful and relevant artists performing. Larry LeBlanc of Billboard magazine dismissed the roster as a "back to the future" lineup saying, "It's woefully out of touch with what's going on in today's music in Canada. Where is Nickelback, where is Feist, where is Death From Above 1979, where is Arcade Fire?" [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Flaming Xmas Problems |
Flaming Lips drummer STEVE DRODZ, who stars in the quirky festive film, admits he's partly to blame for the delay of the film because he has piled on weight since overcoming drug addiction problems.
Drodz says, "Everyone makes this comment about how long it has taken but I think we started work on it in summer 2001 and then our last record came out and we started touring and we ended up touring a lot more than we thought we would. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
