4Tues: Robert Patrick (Army of Anyone/Filter) |
antiMusic reports: Welcome to a new feature
here called 2&2 4Tuesday! We kick things off with a special 2 minute/2
second interview with Robert Patrick of Filter fame. antiMusic's Johnny
Hardcore gets the lowdown on Robert's new supergroup Army of Anyone that
also features the DeLeo brothers Robert & Dean from Stone Temple Pilots
and David Lee Roth's drummer, Ray Luzier.
2&2: What is your favorite song on
the album and why?
Richard: I love "A Better Place" because
that's the first song we wrote together. Also, "It Doesn't Seem to Matter"
is a great rock song. I love singing it!
2&2: Patrick, being clean and sober
since September 28, 2002 you say has helped you with your lyrics. What
is your feeling now when you pen songs as opposed to before that date?
Richard: When I was drinking, it made everything
I wanted to accomplish more difficult. I wasn't as clear and present as
I am now. Ultimately, when my brain was so soggy from the alcohol, I couldn't
be as creative. [see the full story for a couple more questions and answers
with Richard!]

Vs Beer |
TMZ reports: TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed
by the rock group Weezer against the Miller Brewing Company. The lawsuit,
filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges the beermaker
used the name 'Weezer' in several ads that ran in Rolling Stone magazine
in 2004. The lawsuit also names Miller's advertising agency and the production
company that laid out the ads as defendants.
In the suit, the four members of the band
(Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson) claim Miller
used the Weezer name in the ads without their permission.[see full story

II? |
pr-inside reports: Pop stars JANET JACKSON
and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE are planning to reunite on national TV for the first
time since their disastrous performance at the Super Bowl, according to
press reports in the US. The pair have barely spoken to each other since
the infamous breast-baring incident in 2004 when Jackson's nipple was exposed
to millions of viewers during a performance of Timberlake's hit ROCK YOUR
BODY. The half-time show received worldwide ridicule and cost US network
CBS $550,000 (£306,000) in indecency fines. Sources close to Jackson
say she is in talks with Timberlake's people to appear together in "some
sort of big, live show like the Grammys or the Oscars" as the ultimate
publicity stunt.[see full story for more]- Click

Riot |
pr-inside reports: A 29-year-old woman suffered
a laceration to the head at a DMX concert in Uniondale, New York on Saturday
(30SEP06), after being hit by a chair reportedly thrown from the stage.
Police are investigating the incident as an assault after receiving a complaint
from the victim, who was treated at Nassau University Hospital.
DMX - real name EARL SIMMONS - was performing
a Back To School Jam '06 concert at the Nassau Coliseum, when his set was
plagued by sound problems which saw his microphone completely cut out.
Even after sound was restored angry fans began pelting the stage with water
bottles and food. Members of DMX's entourage retaliated by throwing the
objects back into the crowd, including the alleged chair.[see full story

Smackdown |
celebrityweek.com reports: This weekend's
one year anniversary bash at Tao got off to a somewhat volatile start when
a bodyguard traveling with Kevin Federline got (literally) in the face
of a red carpet photographer. Jill Ann Spaulding was outside the nightclub's
entrance on Friday evening when Mr. Spears was asked to pose for pictures.
He refused. According to witnesses, Spaulding, who was on assignment for
photo agency Film Magic, began snapping shots anyway, prompting the bodyguard
to approach her saying "Oh, no you don't." He then shoved the camera into
the woman's nose and forehead. "I have really been in pain for three or
four days now," Spaulding tells us. "I had to go back there again the next
night and I was going to wear a football helmet." Though not captured on
film, a snitch tells us K-Fed wore the same clothes Friday and Saturday
nights: a black cap, wife beater and white button down shirt.-

Nation Vs Ticketmaster |
CMJ reports: New ambitions from Live Nation,
the largest concert production company in America, may threaten Ticketmaster's
concert ticket dominance. In a recent interview, Michael Rapino, Chief
Executive of Live Nation, told the L.A. Times that he is actively working
to lower ticket prices for the 29,000 concert events that his firm produces
every year. "Seventy percent of people didn't go to a concert last year,
and even the average concert fan only attends about two shows a year,"
Rapino noted. "We can grow this industry by lowering prices."
Ticketmaster currently serves as the exclusive
ticket outlet for nearly all Live Nation events. Fees incurred by their
services frequently raise ticket prices by 25-35 percent. Last year, average
ticket prices rocketed to $57 for the most popular gigs. Meanwhile, Ticketmaster
collected almost $1 billion off of the fees and surcharges. [see full story

| LegitTorrent |
MTV reports: While much of the trading that
goes on now is illegal swapping of copywritten material, BitTorrent is
working on changing that. The Death Cab material marks the first time a
major label has voluntarily offered its artists to BitTorrent. Also, the
site signed a deal in May with Warner Bros. to legally sell copies of such
Warner hits as the "Harry Potter" movies in a BitTorrent store that is
slated to launch later this year. [see full story for more]-

yesterday that they will be calling it quits. The band writes in a statement:
Ok, so we played in Bloomfield NJ last night, and it was a really special
show for us. Not only was it a great time, and a great show, but it was
also the night Andy and the rest of us agreed to announce we will be calling
it quits this coming summer.
Yes, KYI is breaking up this summer. I
want you to hear it first from someone in the band who can tell you that
there is no bad blood, no drama, no in-fighting, no record label problems
or legal battles, no sickness or death or anything of the usual break-up
sort. We are the best of friends, and we just released our best record
ever. That is how we want to end it off. [see full story for more]-
