Denial |
blabbermouth.net reports: Cindy Pearlman of
the Chicago Sun-Times reports that comedian Jack Black tried to use LED
ZEPPELIN's most famous song title, "Stairway to Heaven", in his new movie
"Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny". Permission was granted by the band
� but after the scene was filmed, the ZEPPELIN members demanded to pull
their song title from the gag.
The scene is in a mock Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame set in California. The deal was: All rock groups depicted in this
faked museum had to give permission to use their name, likeness, music
and/or song titles. Black and his "D" partner Kyle Gass have a moment when
they climb a huge staircase with a flashing neon sign "Stairway to Heaven."[see

Defense |
music.tinfoil reports: At Broadband Reports,
Karl picks up on an OUT-LAW.COM report noting that Tammie Marson of Palm
Desert, California responded to a file-sharing lawsuit from the RIAA by
stating that her wireless network was not secure, and that therefore the
file sharing seen on her network could have been from any passerby.
"The defense worked, and the RIAA dropped
the case," Karl writes.
As an El Reg article points out, "If this
becomes a popular defense, it could seriously hamper a huge number of file-sharing
lawsuits taken in the US against individuals. It also looks to be a trend
in defense against movie file-sharing lawsuits." [see full story for more]-

| you've
been reading my blog |
PR reports: A recently widely-circulated surreal
video clip from the daytime TV show "All My Children" curiously name-drops
Ipecac Records founder and Fantomas/Peeping Tom vocalist extraordinaire
Mike Patton -- but neglects to mention Otto Von Schirach! Patton hand-picked
and sequenced his own mix for the Miami based IDM composer, Von Schirach,
resulting in the critically-revered album Maxipad Detention released this
September on Ipecac. The video clip that caught fire on YouTube in September
-- circulating faster than you can say "fat kid with a light-saber" --
was culled from a bizarre scene on "All My Children" in which a pair of
marketing executives attempt to connect with an unimpressed and abrasive
alternative artist by mentioning Mike Patton and his bands Faith No More
and Tomahawk. The artist perks up at the mention of the singer's name,
absurdly sneering, "you've been reading my blog!"[see full story for more]-

| Dionysus
Fairytales And Reality |
Kayos reports: Spain's Locomotive Music releases
Dionysus' Fairytales And Reality today. Taking their name from the Greek
God of Wine, Dionysus embraces the wine, women, and song lifestyle and
expresses it using the vehicle of Melodic Progressive Metal. In 1999, a
true meeting of the metal minds took place to form Dionysus, with the collaboration
of singer Olaf Hayer (vocalist of Luca Turilli's solo albums), former Sinergy
drummer Ronny Milianowicz, keyboard player Kaspar Dahlqvist (Yngwie), and
Nation guitarist and bassist Johnny Öhlin and Nobby Noberg. Having
two previous studio releases under its belt, Dioynsus is ready to make
quite an impression with their most mature effort to date.-

| Drake
Bell's Time |
PR reports: Universal Motown Records will
release Drake Bell's highly-anticipated record, It's Only Time, on December
5th. For a 20-year-old, Drake Bell is an old soul when it comes to the
music he listens to and plays on his Universal Motown Records debut It's
Only Time. Songs like the first single, "I Know," which sounds like it
could have come off Rubber Soul, and the empowering, Elton John-like rocker
"Do What You Want" boasts a bittersweet pop sound, with catchy harmonies
and plenty of exuberant vocal hooks, which is no wonder considering the
Newport Beach, CA, native, whose mother is two-time world champion pool
player Robin Dodson, was raised on the classic rock of the '60s. Learning
how to play guitar from The Who's Roger Daltrey, with whom he worked in
the 1998 movie Changing Destiny, Drake proved a natural student. [see full
