 Idol
Punk... Not |
punkbands reports: The kid who sang that Silverstein
song on American Idol is apparently doing interviews (don't worry, not
with us). He's not doing anything for his credibility either. Asked by
aversion.com why he chose Silverstein and not something heavier like the
Cro-Mags, Ryan Hart had this to say: "I'm not really into straight up hardcore
music. I love screamo, and Silverstein [is] one of my favorite if not my
favorite band. I knew singing one of their songs would get them a lot of
free publicity, which would in turn get them more money, which would enable
them to produce more terrific albums like their first two."[see full story

| Madonna
a Terrorist |
hecklerspray reports: [silly news to brighten
up your hump day]Madonna is famous for having an opinion about everything,
from ripping off Abba songs to wearing horrific crack-revealing leotards.
But her latest is a doozy - Madonna says that she's like a terrorist.
But don't worry - Madonna isn't like a
terrorist because she blows up pubs or murders hostages - although her
last CD did want to make us throw ourselves out of a window - Madonna is,
in fact, like a hostage because she quite often has arguments about where
she wants to go on holiday. Confused? You'd do well to read on, then...[see

Doc |
PFA reports: Five years ago at the age of
35 hip-hop pioneer and co-founder of the multi-platinum legendary group
Run-D.M.C, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels made a startling discovery: he was adopted.
Suddenly everything he thought he knew about himself changed.
This revelation occurred after the death
of Jam Master Jay and while DMC was going through a deep depression. He
began to question his purpose and place in life. DMC invited VH1 on his
journey to track down this other family he never knew was out there. Premiering
Saturday, February 25 at 9PM, "DMC: MY ADOPTION JOURNEY" documents that
search as the first special from the "VH1 Rock Docs" franchise.[see full
