| Kid
Vs Stapp |
TMZ reports: Kid Rock blames Scott Stapp for
losing a sex video showing them with several strippers, but appreciates
Stapp for one thing. "What perfect timing," Rock told The Associated Press
in an interview Wednesday. "I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should
thank him."
Still, Rock (aka Robert Ritchie) has fired
back against Stapp's claim that the tape was stolen, saying the former
Creed singer filmed the tape, which was made in Rock's motor home in 1999,
and is responsible for losing it.
"He's the idiot because it's out," the
35-year-old Rock said. "I'm holding him responsible."[see full story for

Bomb Scare |
punkbands reports: A seemingly innocuous This
Bike is a Pipe Bomb sticker was enough to put Ohio University on high alert
this morning. Apparently, the sticker, placed - appropriately enough -
on a bike, was sufficient to get both campus police and the bomb squad
involved. According to local media, university police found a nondescript
mountain bike with the Plan-It X act's sticker on it, and took it literally.
The school closed four buildings, police blocked streets around the Oasis
restaurant, the fire department brought in off-duty firefighters, and the
Columbus fire department's bomb squad was called in. The bomb experts attacked
the bike with a high-pressure spray of water, then pried it open with a
hydraulic tool and found no bomb inside. [see full story for more]-

3CD Set? |
antiMusic reports: Will the long delayed Guns
N' Roses Chinese Democracy be a triple CD release? Axl reportedly
told Jayme Peyton (Big Damn Band) at an after show party at the Roxy that
it would be.
Rose attended the Derek Truck show at the
Roxy on Feb 23rd in which the Indiana based Big Damn Band opened. "(Rose)
heard us say that it was my birthday, and he came over and bought me a
couple of shots of Patron (tequila)," Jayme said according to a Indy Star
Blog report. "I thought that was real nice."
But Rose also had another gift for Jayme.
"Jayme says the party eventually moved to Trucks' tour bus, where Rose
produced a CD and previewed some of 'Chinese Democracy' -- which the singer
said will be sold as a 3-disc collection," reports David Lindquist on his
blog.[see full story for more]- Click

Slams Darkness |
Gigwise reports: The purveyor of stomach churningly
bad rock music that is Jon Bon Jovi has decided to blast the equally awful
The Darkness.
He ranted: "I hate The Darkness. f***ing
hate 'em. I don't understand it. I know they are huge, but I never really
got it.
"It's just Spinal Tap isn't it? It's just
a lark. I'm not sure they think so, though. ...[First Axl, now The Darkness.

Illegal in OC |
tinfoil reports: Not only will they make you
deaf, but apparently listening to your iPod with earbuds/headphones in/covering
both ears is illegal in Orange County as this poor Suicide Girl found out,
"i was just on the bus. doing typical travel things. you know, listening
to my ipod, staring out the window, day dreaming about ice cream and puppy
dogs. a few stops before mine, a sheriff's car pulls in front of the bus
with its lights on. he gets on, moves to the back and an undercover informs
a woman that she's being cited for wearing headphones. apparently, having
both headphones on while in a bus is a crime. they take her info. they
are about to leave when the undercover notices me with my ipod. do you
have your id, he rudely asked. i asked why. he informs me that what i'm
doing is illegal. that i can only have one earphone in at a time...." [Gotta
love the OC Sheriffs Dept if this is true. She should have asked him how
the dept was handling the bribery charges against an assistant sheriff
and how the other assistant sheriff's son's sexual assault case was going...

Beck |
CMJ reports: There's no rest for the weary.

two years. (Remember that last year saw the release of both Guero and its
remix album Guerolito.) According to MTV News, the forthcoming album was
