Five Injured In Serious Tour Van Accident |
The band had played a show in Montgomery, AL the night before and was headed to their next gig in Altoona, PA, when another vehicle crossed the median on Interstate 85 just outside of Atlanta, striking the band's van and causing the two vehicles to collide head on. The van flipped over on its side.
Everyone survived, but singer Hiro sustained a concussion and drummer Eiji remains hospitalized with a broken arm. Tour manager John Kim was originally thought to have suffered internal injuries but turned out to be OK and was released from the hospital. The other band members suffered minor injuries.
Due to Eiji's arm injuries, Fact will be forced to cancel the remaining dates on their North American run and will return to Japan to recuperate.

Bob Dylan Slams The Rolling Stones |
Sitting down with noted music journalist and MTV executive Bill Flanagan, Dylan, who was promoting his 33rd album Together Through Life, took aim at the group once called 'England's Newest Hitmakers.'
"They're pretty much finished, aren't they?" Dylan said. When Flanagan cited the fact that The Rolling Stones' last tour was one of the biggest money-making jaunts in concert history, Dylan said, "Oh yeah, you mean Steel Wheels. [That tour took place in '89, by the way.]

Queen + Paul Rodgers Live in Ukraine |
When it comes to taking on logic-defying challenges, Queen have never fought shy: think Hyde Park, Latin America, Live Aid. All these years later, Queen are still living adventurously. Here's the case in point: just weeks ahead of the start of the band's 2008 Queen + Paul Rodgers' The Cosmos Rocks tour the band were approached to help Ukraine's AntiAids Foundation reach out to the youth of the country with the message 'Don't Let Aids Ruin Your Life".
In a country facing the highest rising rate of infection throughout Europe, it is a message which cannot wait. For Queen + Paul Rodgers - already well prepared for a tour opening with two nights at Moscow's SCO arena, it would mean some drastic rethinking. The venue on offer was Kharkov, Ukraine's, historic Freedom Square, a place so big that during World War II it was used to land planes. For the band and crew it meant "Everyone had to run very fast, very suddenly, but then most of the great and worthwhile things in your life are a little dangerous." Despite the seeming impossibility of it, Queen + Paul Rodgers made it to Freedom Square for the night of September 12, 2008.

Tori Amos Explains New Album Title, Releases New Video |
The album title is a line from Guys and Dolls, originally spoken by the character Sarah Brown. "Sin," in this case, is not necessarily what you're thinking of. "I wanted to really investigate how we're controlled by the threat of despair," Amos said. "I wanted to look at power�how we think and how you can reclaim the right to think for yourself, to uncover what you believe in as a spiritual, sexual creature...What I am exploring with this record is power, and giving it away with your thinking. How do we become controlled?"
Tori Amos has also unveiled the video to the song "Welcome to England," the first single off "Abnormally Attracted to Sin." This gorgeous miniature film is one of 16 "visualettes" directed by Christian Lamb who filmed Amos and her band during the American Doll Posse tour.
