Dismissed Floyd Reunion Rumors - A Top Story This Week |
The guitarist's infamous rift with bandmate Roger Waters caused the rockers to split in the 1980s, but Gilmour has dismissed speculation of a Pink Floyd reunion because he's more interested in his solo work.
He says, "What I've been doing for the last couple of years - what I was in the middle of when Live 8 came along - was my album, and that's what I'm thinking about. "I can't see why I would want to be going back to that old thing. It's very retrogressive.- more on this story

Offer CD Free - A Top Story This Week |
The madness will first begin on October 10, when the Nigel Godrich produced disc will be available as a DRM-free MP3 download. For this, you can pay whatever you want for it. Yes, you did read that correctly. Seen as more of a donation, its a guarantee no Radiohead fan will go without that day.
The second option sees In Rainbows being sold as part of a deluxe discbox. To ship in Decmeber, the discbox will include a hardcopy of the LP, an enhanced bonus CD with an additional 8 tracks, various photos/artwork and lyric booklets all wrapped in a beautiful package. And since you saved money by probably paying close to nothing for the digital download, the entire package comes in at a nifty, $81.00.- more on this story

Lose Member - A Top Story This Week |
Announcing Hewitt's departure on the band's website, Placebo frontman Brian Moloko explained: "Being in a band is very much like being in a marriage and in couples - in this case a triple. People can grow apart over the years."
He added: "To say you don't love your partner
anymore is inaccurate considering all that you've been through and achieved
together. There simply comes a point when you realise that you want different
things from your relationship and that you can no longer live under the
same roof, so to speak."

| Underoath
Injury - A Top Story This Week |
In order to avoid canceling a slew of tour dates (including some high-profile shows), the band enlisted the help of drummer Kenny Bozich--a long-time fan of Underoath who was recruited by Gillespie to join his solo project The Almost. Luck was on Underoath's side, as they had to track down Bozich while he was hiking in the mountains of Utah.
Bozich left the mountains with just enough
time catch a flight to Las Vegas that landed 25-minutes before Underoath
would take the stage Sunday night at the House of Blues. The band texted
Bozich a set list and he listened to the songs nonstop on the flight. The
group and Bozich had less than 5-minutes to talk before they took the stage,
the band and Bozich managed to still play a strong 40-minute set.-

Vs Zeppelin - A Top Story This Week |
The promoter seemed un-phased by news that unique ticket codes given to successful ballot entrants were being sold for over the odds prices, claiming anyone who buys one won't be able to attend.
However, Led Zeppelin fans have now turned on him claiming that it's the fans who are the victims here and not the touts organisers are apparently trying to clamp down on. In a direct letter to Gigwise, Led Zep fan Felix Carassco who has bought a ticket code, said: "I find it a disgrace that Harvey Goldsmith is going after the real fans after he is only selling 10,000 tickets for a 20,000 seater arena. I am sure that the other half will be going to his company and friends and a good few thousand 'guests'!- more on this story

Win Fan Piracy Case - A Top Story This Week |
Recording Industry vs The People's editor added this opinion: I'm sorry to hear that Ms. Thomas lost, but I don't think the case is over by a long shot; the verdict -- based as it upon an entirely erroneous jury instruction going to the very heart of the case -- will almost definitely be set aside on appeal.
The heart of that claim comes from this report by the site: It appears that the RIAA lawyers forgot to notify Judge Karas, the presiding judge in , that a decision they'd sent him in August was vacated a week ago. Read more about both cases - here
