- This is what Moby might have looked like had he not gone to so many raves in his twenties. The rocker (or whatever) claims that raving too hard resulted in the premature hair loss he experienced later. “I believe that those early experiences contributed to me losing my hair,” the reformed raver said of his days as a DJ in the early ’90s. “It was a really fun period, but incredibly stressful.”
- According to a post on Brian May’s Web site, Queen have begun recording new material with Paul Rodgers and from the sound of it, they’re geeking out in the studio. May writes: “This is our first QUEEN new recording session for about 15 years. It may turn into an album . . . it may lead elsewhere, but right now we are HAVING FUN! And . . . it sounds pretty amazing to my ears . . . very different from anything Paul or Queen have ever done. And pretty epic!!” [via The Rock Radio]
- Jay-Z denies that his return to the stage means he’s abandoning his post as Def Jam president. “I know there’s been some rumors I was leaving Def Jam,” the rapper reportedly said, adding, “I’m not leaving Def Jam. I signed on for three years, so I don’t have any plans to move on.” Like we can trust you after that phony retirement fiasco, Hova.
- Jermaine Dupri allegedly wrote this post on his MySpace page, in which he says that his departure from Virgin was due to the label’s “lack of participation and promotion on 20yo.”
- Now that Madonna has Ricky Martin in her corner, all will be okay with her adoption drama. Martin also reportedly claims he has a “very beautiful connection” with the Indian children he sponsors.
- The trickle down of pain resulting from Tower Record’s demise has begun. Indie bands on indie labels (and therefore the labels themselves) are concerned about how Tower’s closing will affect their distribution and sales stats.
