| The
Game Pimpin in Jail |
PR reports: The Game makes police custody
actually look like a fun time.
TMZ has obtained exclusive footage of the
platinum-selling rapper moments after he was placed in a holding tank at
an L.A. County police station. In the video, The Game can be seen showing
off his wad of more than $3,000 cash (because that's how he rolls) -- which
was temporarily confiscated and counted by police.
The money was returned when The Game posted
$50,000 bail this morning. As TMZ first reported, The Game was arrested
late Saturday night after LAPD officers executed a search of his L.A. area
home in connection with an incident that took place in February.[see full

Deeprooted |
PR reports: Once touted for their unique black
metal, Manes made an aggressive turnabout for their second album Vilosophe.
The change found some fans outright pissed while others applauded the band's
boldness. How the World Came to an End finds this fearless five-piece again
allowing their collective imaginations open terrain to travel upon. And
the end result is inspiring. Featuring artwork from designers TrineogKim
(Ulver, Ephel Duath) the ten new songs travel an unexpected path that includes
an unlikely blend of genres (trip-hop, jazz, electronica, rock, metal).
The track "Deeprooted" from the new Manes album How The World Came To An
End is now available for listening at the bands official MySpace profile
at the full story link. Additionally, Candlelight USA has premiered another
track from the new album "My Journal of the Plague Years" on its own MySpace:

| Droid
Set Release |
PR reports: On July 10th Droid Will Release
Their Self- Titled Debut that features guest vocals by Chino Moreno Of
Deftones. This five piece hailing from Long Beach, California creates a
menacing sound which features rapid-fire riffs and power grooves with a
violent crushing delivery. On their self-titled Emotional Syphon Recordings
debut, Droid embrace a bludgeoning aesthetic that pummels and punishes.
They are a cutting edge band who pushes the boundaries of heavy metal.
This musical foundation is the core that allows Vocalist James "Buddy"
Eason to channel an honest brutality that takes Droid's brand of metal
to soaring new heights and into a dark, violent and cathartic realm.
Droid's debut marks the first release for
Emotional Syphon, founded by revolutionary Korn guitarist James "Munky"
Shaffer. After catching a Droid show at Hollywood's historic Whisky-A-Go-Go,
Munky immediately signed the band as the label's flagship act, and they
recorded their inaugural offering at Korn's Elementree Studios in Los Angeles.
The sessions resulted in a volatile collection of tracks. Don't Miss Droid
on Family Values this summer with Korn, Evanescence, Atreyu and more-

Now Trying to Kill Radio? |
FMQB reports: A new proposal from the music

royalty, similar to satellite and Internet radio. Broadcasters have not
