| Snoop
Brawl |
antiMusic reports: Snoop is in the dog house
in England after he and his entourage where at the center of a brawl with
police at Heathrow airport that left seven officers injured and Snoop in
the big house.
Snoop Dogg was released on bail Thursday
afternoon after being held overnight at a London police station. Snoop
and his posse stopped off in Heathrow on their way to South Africa where
Snoop was scheduled to perform at The People's Celebration Concert.
The brawl reportedly started when members
of Snoop's posse were denied entry to the first-class lounge of British
Airways, according to the Times Online. Members of the posse allegedly
started throwing whiskey bottles at a duty free shop and began arguing
with staff members. Police arrived and reportedly told the posse they would
not be allowed to board their flight. That's when all hell broke loose
and the mob became "abusive and pushed the officer," according to a British
Airways spokesperson. [see full story for more]- Click

Vs Oprah |
Contact Music reports: LATEST: Rapper LUDACRIS
is singing about his feud with media mogul OPRAH WINFREY on his new album.

the exchange has been exaggerated, but chose to write about the conflict

my God!"

Di'Anno: "'Running Free'! [looks stunned]
How hard is that? I mean I f***ing wrote the song. How hard is that? I'm

| Dead
Oc |
punkbands reports: From alternativetentacles.com:
We are again getting reports of a Dead Kennedys song turning up in a truly
putrid TV show behind Jello's back. This time, instead of "American Idol,"
it's "California Uber Alles" used by "The OC" But again, we need visual
proof. The Dead Kennedys partnership is now run in Cheney-esque secrecy,
so a simple inquiry to East Bay Ray seems useless. [what a real punk song
on that show? can't be true. see full story for more]-

Puppets Return |
punkbands reports: Billboard is reporting
that, for the first time in a decade, the Kirkwood brothers are reunited
to record a new Meat Puppets album. Curt Kirkwood had this to say about
the record: I've got the album written already. I'm going to record it
on my own and then see who wants to put it out. It's epic. It's big Meat
Puppets stuff. I would say 'sonic pyramids made out of garbage.' I honestly
think these are good songs. I played some of them for [Cris] over the phone
yesterday. I don't think this is going to be some sort of 'toss off' album.

| SideOneZox |
punkbands reports: Zox is the latest addition
to the growing SideOne roster. The label writes: We are proud to be working
with these guys and releasing their album "The Wait" on June 6th. It's
hard to classify them but, the closest we can get is a mix of Sublime,
Guster, Pixies and The Cure! Sounds cool, eh? Not to mention their live
show is unbelievable, those of you who were lucky enough to catch them
recently on the sold out Flogging Molly Green 17 tour or on the west coast
dates with Gogol Bordello can attest first hand to the amazing live show
they put on!!! [see full story for more]- Click
