And it look like Billy bragg will not be puting up his music on my space any time soon The Brit singer have pull Some of his songs on his myspace page clamnig that my space "terms of service" give Murdoch's minions the right to exploit their content as they see fit saying "once an artist posts up any content (including songs), it then belongs to MySpace (AKA Rupert Murdoch) and they can do what they want with it throughout the world without paying the artists."

But Myspace.com spokesman Jeff Berman says not to worry. "Because the legalese has caused some confusion, we are at work revising it to make it very clear that MySpace is not seeking a license to do anything with an artist's work other than allow it to be shared in the manner the artist intends," Berman says. "Obviously, we don't own their music or do anything with it that they don't want."

it a slam aginst the news Corp who last year paid way too much for the on-line solcal network (they pay $580 millions for there parent company which run myspace.com) which have endure month of bad press how kids are spooke by bad people who used my space for bad things like asking for sex on line, that bad and now some are thinking my space is so last year

The Akron/Family has just announced that they're preparing a new album, titled Meek Warrior, on Young God this September. Recorded primarily at Chicago's Shappe Shoppe, the forthcoming LP was produced by Akron/Family and Michael Gira, and engineered by Griffin Rodriguez (Need New Body, Icy Demons, Bablicon), who also plays bass on one song, "No Space in This Realm". The band also spent a day recording in Toronto with their bros from Do Make Say Think/Broken Social Scene.

The album will feature songs mostly written on the road, "in the van the few weeks prior to the studio time, while we were all freezing in the wintery hinderlands of middle Canada, wheezing with bronchitis," according to Family man Seth Olinsky.

The Chicago location presented Akron/Family with the unique opportunity to collaborate with legendary free jazz percussionist Hamid Drake. Drake, said Olinsky, was "a total dream and pleasure" to work with in the studio, as he helped "bring the music to life." Charles Waters of the Gold Sparkle Band and William Parker's Little Huey Creative Orchestra also contributed saxophone and clarinet solos to the album.

The band aims to hold a record release party at the end of September at Tonic in New York City, followed by an appearance at the Pop Montreal Festival in, uh, Montreal, as well as a few other dates in Canada. A West Coast tour is on the agenda for December, as is the recording of yet another new album in October in November. As they say, the family that plays together, stays together.


When we think Bob Mould, we think punk rock, buzzsaw guitars, Minneapolis, SST, Our Band Could Be Your Life, trucking across the country in a beat-up van, etc. In other words, we think H?D?ever, when Bob Mould thinks Bob Mould, he thinks shiny dance-pop. Or rather, when Bob Mould thinks Blowoff, his collaborative project with house music vet Richard Morel, he thinks shiny dance-pop.

Blowoff has been blowing the roof off (sorry) the Washington, DC club scene for a few years, and now they're ready to expand their boundaries. On September 5, the duo's own Full Frequency Music label will release Blowoff's self-titled debut album. According to a press release, the album is "a total 50/50 collaboration" and a "merger between two independent-minded singer-songwriters that is equal parts "angry, angular power-pop" and "hazy house-fueled electronica."

Hey, sounds like 1997! You can hear for yourself at Blowoff's website, where new songs are currently streaming.

On June 13, avant-country duo the Handsome Family are poised to release their new Carrot Top Records album, Last Days of Wonder. It's the seventh record from the husband-and-wife team of Brett and Rennie Sparks. The inspiration for many songs on Last Days of Wonder come from the tragic life of Nicola Tesla, the misunderstood inventor renowned for developing the namesake Tesla coil, devising plans for an Earth-destroying "death ray," and for providing the name for the hair metal band Tesla (if being the inspiration behind that band isn't tragic, we don't know what is).

The Sparks couple recorded the album at home, but thanks to the magic of email, Stephen Dorocke (Freakwater, Jesse Sykes) and David Coulter (Test Dept., The Pogues, Tom Waits) were able to contribute pedal steel and musical saw, respectively. In addition to the guest instrumentation and the Sparks' standard guitar, bass, and drums arrangements, Last Days of Wonder augments the Handsome Family sound with mellotron, ukulele, banjo, bowed wine glasses, and trombone sections, as well.

(Ed) and you be happy to know that Ex-Velocity Girl Sarah Shannon will release her second solo CD in the fall the 1st one was so good but she have the horrer of haveing the title of worst gig i ever been too i think it was in 2002 at the Stick only a hand full of people was at the show for her set who was not into it, the opener that night was Julie Dornin (ex-Eirc Trip) andDetroitt detroit gig and she was so good Rosie O'Thomasz.
