- Despite having an “album’s worth of material” ready to go, Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump doesn’t anticipate the band will start work on the follow-up to the only-nine-month-old Infinity On High any time soon. Discussing the musical direction of the material, Stump manages to say “experimenting with piano phases like Steve Reich” and “it’s probably just gonna be a pop record” in the same paragraph. Stump also recently shot a guest spot on NBC’s unkillable crime drama Law & Order, which will air next February.
- The reunited Verve have released their first new music in over a decade in the form of a fourteen-minute demo. The experimental track, dubbed “The Thaw Session,” is available as a free download that you can get here.
- Mobb Deep’s Prodigy isn’t going to jail quietly. The rapper, who earlier this month accepted a three-and-a-half year prison sentence in a plea bargain for gun possession, told G-Unit Radio that police officers once asked him set up 50 Cent by planting evidence in 50’s car.
- Family crisis averted: The Wu-Tang Clan have pushed the release date of their new album The 8 Diagrams back one week so it wouldn’t compete with angry Ghostface Killah’s own album The Big Dough Rehab on December 4th. The news comes straight from the RZA’s mouth, and he’s smart.
- The Live Nation feeding frenzy continues. One week after securing every Madonna movement for a modest reported $120 million, the concert promoter is now making a bid for Signatures Network, which holds the right to license and market over 125 artists, including Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Kanye West.
