Rammstein record "pulled" 43 replies

Many were kinda suprised. A porn flick as music video for the single "Pussy", lyrics about S/M kinky stuff and... nobody really made a big deal about it. At least in Germany, where for example songs like "Mein Teil" (which is about a cannibal eating the penis of a guy) gave rise to a huge debate about the band and their material.
Now, the Ministry for Family Affairs asked for the "indexing" of Rammstein's new album "Liebe ist für alle da". For all the folks not from Germany: if a video, album or song finds itself on "the index", it is no longer allowed to place the product in question in public, advertise it or sell it to minors (under 18 years of age in Germany). Rammstein's new album will therefor be no longer available in music stores, at least not above the counter, so to say.
As reason for all this the Ministry named in specific the song "Ich tu dir weh" (English: I hurt you), acompanied by a picture in the ...more

Kele Okereke's Solo Album? 19 replies

With hints of a Bloc Party hiatus being dropped multiple times over the past few months, Scottish electro DJ & producer Hudson Mohawke has let the cat out of the bag concerning a Kele Okereke solo LP.
During an interview with BBC Radio, Mohawke claimed "It hasn’t been finalised yet, but I’m doing a bit of stuff for Kele from Bloc Party’s solo album. He’s doing a record with one of the guys from Spank Rock.”
As expected, this is likely to suggest that the upcoming solo album will have an electro/dancey style similar to Bloc Party's most recent releases.

U2 Re-Build Berlin Wall 36 replies

U2 will perform a free concert for 10,000 lucky Berliners on Thursday night to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The MTV-sponsored concert will take place by the Brandenburg Gate, mere metres from the site on which the wall had been built. The four-song mini-concert was planned to coincide with the 2009 EMAs taking place in the city on the night.
However, seemingly oblivious to the irony, MTV has insisted that the event will take place behind a protective barrier, disallowing all non-ticket holders from seeing the show.
A spokesperson for Berlin's city government placed all of the responsibility on MTV, stating: "I find it rather unfortunate and unusual for organisers of a free concert – particularly one of this nature – to demand such a barrier,” said a city spokesperson."
An MTV spokesperson countered, claiming that the barrier was necessary to allow the surrounding businesses to continue operation during the perfor ...more

Original Sugababes To Reform 11 replies

Gossip blog Holy Moly reports that the original line-up of the Sugababes are to reform.

Following the sacking of final founder member Keisha Buchanan last month, all three original members are now unattached. Many dared to suggest that the three original babes - completed by Siobhan Donaghy (left 2001) and Mutya Buena (left 2005) - would reform, but it appears the rumours have now reached fruition.

The three girls are reportedly in talks with a label (believed to be Warner Bros) and a producer (thought to be either William Orbit or Stuart Price) with a view to recording new material in the near future. Warner has also reportedly offered the three girls solo deals as a sweetener.

Presumably the reformed group will have no claim on the title "Sugababes," but whatever they do choose surely cannot be any worse "Get Sexy."

Hulk Hogan Auditioned For Metallica 86 replies

Former professional wrestler and full-time overprotective dad Hulk Hogan auditioned to play bass for both Metallica and the Rolling Stones during the 1980s, according to his forthcoming autobiography My Life Outside the Ring.

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, Hogan said: “I was in England presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger’s ex, and she told me the [Rolling] Stones were looking for a bass player. I sent her a ton of merchandise that she asked for and said ‘Tell Mick I’m a great bass player.’ I never heard a word back."

He went on: “When Metallica was looking for a bass player, I called and never heard a word back from them either. I would have quit wrestling in a heartbeat to be a bass player for Metallica.”

Hogan made a living as a journeyman bass player while in college, and continued to attempt to make it as a musician during his early wrestling days. His daughter, Brooke, is now a successful solo artist w ...more

Canadian Singer Killed By Coyotes 103 replies

A 19-year-old Canadian folk singer has been killed after being attacked by coyotes while hiking in eastern Canada.

Taylor Mitchell was on tour in Nova Scotia and had taken the day off on Tuesday to go hiking in the Cape Breton Highlands national park.

Mitchell was attacked by a group of coyotes and, though other hikers heard her screams and managed to call for help, she died in hospital in Halifax on Wednesday morning.

Mounties on the scene managed to shoot one of the animals, which escaped, and later managed to find and kill another.

Mitchell was nominated for this year's Canadian Folk Music Awards in the "Young Performer of the Year" category, having released her debut album earlier this year.
