- A slew of people who used to work with Britney Spears — a bodyguard, a backup dancer, a makeup artist — and old friends have teamed up to create the Be Proactive to Help Web site, an effort to boycott Spears’ upcoming Blackout until she changes her ways. “Our message is simple,” one of the organizers tells E! Online. “Don’t buy her stuff until she’s better.” Concerned fans can visit the site to find a list of ways to help the cause, from contacting Spears’ record label to her management — all of whom the group blames for Spears’ current situation.
- The Mars Volta will release their fourth album, The Bedlam in Goliath, on January 29th, 2008. The band will play a New Year’s Eve extravaganza in San Francisco (costumes are mandatory), and fans can watch a homemade video set to “Wax Simulacra” here. Tracklisting after the jump.
- N.E.R.D. are aiming to have a new album in stores next spring, and Pharrell Williams describes its sound as “a red bull with growth hormones in it.”
- British and Dutch police have shut down invite-only music-trading site OiNK. A twenty-four-year-old IT worker was arrested and is being interviewed on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and infringement of copyright law.
- Patti Smith fell at a London show over the weekend, tripping over a speaker and landing on her face. Smith cut her elbow, but recovered quickly saying, “I’m not even fucking embarrassed because I’ve done far worse.”
