Beck
Denied |
thetripwire reports: Now this is just plain
silly. Beck's latest album, The Information, was released on Monday in
the UK. Even if it happens to sell eight zillion copies, there is no chance
of it actually charting thanks to a bizarre ruling by the UK's Official
Chart Company.
Why the fuss and the slap in the face to
the Beckster? Well, the OCC has ruled that the extra DVD containing homemade
videos for each song, as well as the cool ass sticker sheets have given
him an "unfair advantage" over other artists. [see full story for more]-

Hardcore
Party |
Special Ops reports: Rhino Entertainment will
release the soundtrack to the film American Hardcore: The History of American
Punk Rock (1980-1986) on October 10, 2006.
Emerging in the early 1980s, hardcore punk
championed independent thought and a f***-you attitude - all with a fierce
"Do-It-Yourself" aesthetic. More than just loud, fast music driven by primal
aggression, bands like Bad Brains and Black Flag helped launch an underground
social movement that tapped into the disaffection of misfit kids who came
of age in the Reagan era. Filmmaker Paul Rachman and writer Steven Blush
capture the spirit of this subculture with their documentary, American
Hardcore, and Rhino Records delivers the hard-hitting soundtrack. [see
