Ejected Tim McGraw Fan Elicits Pathos

While there's no denying the sheer appeal of Tim McGraw, in tight cowboy jeans and cute-but-manly tank top, hauling a a wrongdoer up on stage and nearly delivering a beat-down in the name of chivalry, it would be unfair to ignore the other side of the story. CMT has an interview with the guy on the receiving end of McGraw's testosterone, and he claims it was all just a big misunderstanding. More »

Have you ever wondered if Kanye West was the type of kid who, during his school years, would get pissed off when he "only" scored a B+ on an exam? OK, it's probably obvious that he was, and still is. But signing off his response to Entertainment Weekly's pretty-decent-overall review of his tour-opening show in Seattle with "Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me... BOW!!! This is not pop, it's pop art! Chris Willman, kill yourself!" makes me wonder if he's going to respond to every review that pops up along his tour in this fashion, and if he's stocking up on antacids in order to soothe the ulcers that are an obvious byproduct of said vitriol.

Weiland To Velvet Revolver: Whatevs

A day after the not-entirely-unexpected bomb dropped that Velvet Revolver had finally banded together to relieve "erratic" frontman Scott Weiland of his duties, comments boxes and drive-time rock DJs are still reeling over the better-late-than-never news. An unemployed Weiland, on the other hand, is doing his best to remain unfazed, soldiering on with his recently reconciled bros in STP and offering a terse, bitchy dismissal of VR's accusation that he was the weakest link in a chain of shady reprobates. He's also graciously offered his former bandmates his considered opinion on which classic metal shrieker should get his old gig, provided Slash and Co. can woo this possible replacement away from a lucrative gig opening for Poison.

Latest by HUGE_Hefner: I once commented here that "Purple" was my favorite STP album, but I was lying. The only one I still listen to is "Tiny Music", a masterpiece from begining to end. more »

Maxim Writer Says Those Infamous Two-And-A-Half Circles Were Added To His Previews After The Fact

As week one of Crowesgate draws to a close, we've heard from a lot of people regarding Maxim's decision to run "previews" of upcoming Black Crowes and Nas albums as actual reviews despite those albums being unavailable to critics and just plain unfinished, respectively. We've read the Crowes' initial irate reaction to Maxim's journalistic gaffe and Maxim's lame mea culpa. Nas weighed in, wondering who gives credence to a review in Maxim in the first place, and even the neologism-challenged CNN newsroom added their own half-cocked commentary. But one party we've yet to hear from until now is David Peisner, who wrote the previews/reviews/who-the-hell-even-knows-anymore in question. Going on record with the LA Times, Peisner claims his Maxim higher-ups did assign him to write previews, and he only found out they had been bumped to the reviews section when the issue hit the stands.

Thom Yorke: EMI Is A Bunch Of Bastards; Also, My Shift Key Is A Bit Sticky

Thom Yorke has taken to Radiohead's official blog to debunk the notion that Radiohead went to its former label, EMI, asking for a big payday, saying that the band is more than happy to be in indie-label land and insinuating that EMI just may be a bunch of unprofessional crybabies who are better at leaking information to newspapers than actually dealing with artists: More »

Prince Fans Breathe A Sigh Of Relief As The Purple One Takes Aim At The Pirate Bay

Looks like Prince F.U. got in a lather over nothing. The group of disgruntled Prince afficionados banded together to talk smack about their hero to the press after they were purportedly threatened with Princely lawsuits for posting "photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince's likeness" to their fansites. But in a press release, Prince claims that he's not going to court over these infractions any time soon, especially because he's got bigger, bittorrenting fish to fry. More »
