Dave Navarro checked in with the following report on the progress of the

I am personally looking forward to these as they are really all about the

to be done. [see full story for more]- Click

by Islam, "Indian Ocean" was digitally released in early 2005 to benefit,
through Islam's Small Kindness charity, children in the region of Aceh
decimated by the December 2004 tsunami. Now the recording highlights Cat

Lennon Songs? |
Direct Hit Promotions reports: The existence
of a treasure trove of unreleased material written by ex-Beatle John Lennon
and Bruce Bierman, a covert friend and collaborator during the 1970's,
has been disclosed, a certain boon to Lennon fans around the world.
Never publicized, Lennon befriended Bierman
during 1972 when he was a member of the "David Peel and The Lower East
Band," a music group which Lennon and wife Yoko Ono produced, releasing
an offbeat album under the Apple Records label.
By mutual consent, the friendship was kept
private. Bierman enjoyed a comradeship which involved "hanging out, showing
John around New York City, playing and writing songs together - just having
fun." He continued, "I was sort of John's protégé. He loved
that my interest was in learning from him, and not the typical thing...
to be seen with him... he despised that," Bierman said.[see full story

| Smashing
Tribute |
Adrenaline PR reports: It's been over 17 years
since The Smashing Pumpkins formed in Chicago; with their intention of
bringing together the group's love of progressive, goth, psychedelic, glam,
and arena rock into a potent mixture that had designs on assaulting the
pop charts. In those magical moments of music in the late 80's and 90's;
the members of this four piece phenomenon didn't even look like the popular
bands coming from the hair-rock mecca of Los Angeles. Even their name sounds
as subversive as it does antagonistic�hardly suggested the machismo of
contemporaries like Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, or Warrant. Hell, the Pumpkins
had a female bassist, a guitarist who had never even picked up a guitar
before he joined the band, a drummer with talent bordering on preternatural
(who also had brushes with substance abuse), and a singer/lead guitarist
who gave the term "control freak" new meaning. Yet, with the release of
the band's first record, Gish, and later their breakthrough album, Siamese
Dream, the gave the world such hits as" Today," "Disarm," and "Cherub Rock,"
among others.
Even though The Smashing Pumpkins' recorded
output was slim, the band left an indelible mark on genres as diverse as
punk rock, mainstream pop rock, and the burgeoning emo/screamo scene currently
ravaging its way across the world.
Reignition Recordings, a label out of New
York City, spawned from the late Law of Inertia Records (long association
with the magazine), brings the world their second tribute CD, but arguably
their best: The Killer In You: A Tribute To Smashing Pumpkins. [see full
