Friends of Britney Build Boycott-”Blackout” Site, Mars Volta Reveal “Goliath” Plans, N.E.R.D. Plot New LP

10/23/07, 9:32 am EST

  • 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.”

The Mars Volta’s The Bedlam in Goliath Tracklisting:

1. “Aberinkula”
2. “Metatron”
3. “Ilyena”
4. “Wax Simulacra”
5. “Goliath”
6. “Tourniquet Man”
7. “Cavalettas”
8. “Agadez”
9. “Askepios”
10. “Ouroboros”
11. “Soothsayer”
12. “Conjugal Burnsa”

get mad then smell my finger | 12/1/2007, 12:20 am EST

i just want the world to know how much the mars volta sucks! i heard that one time they put aids in a ballon and sent it flying back to the belgian congo, but then rolling stone recoverd it for fear of a rock magazine covering world health issues. ..i know its like can they even write a song? dont they know how to play regular drum beats and regular guitar lines that dont form a forever symbol. one time i saw fucking miramax take over cedric forehead, then omar chimed in with all his xxxtra 4 skin. i hope this new album sucks as bad as their last one. they should go play jamaica ! because then they could get shot by rastas…cuz rastas hate gays…and besides they think they can fool us with their sophmoronic attempt at reggae music. and i hear that they raped the entire staff of the new yorker…..ON WEED!!!!!!

Oh God Rolling Stone hates Britney Spears. I still like her, I am listening to Blackout now, its not masterpiece, but its ok.

Britney Cat Frog Cow Voice | 10/26/2007, 5:07 pm EST

See, that’s not what I heard…

I’ve heard that this album is overproduced within an inch of its life.

That “Britney” — or rather, the team of 200+ people who actually produce her “voice”, sounds like a robot instead of an actual human.

They didn’t have much to work with this time around, so they recorded whatever feeble squawks they could get her to croak out in between nose-candy refills in the bathroom.

Then they “enhanced” these mutterings digitally by merging them with recorded sounds and altering them:

(1) feral cats in heat
(2) frogs in a swamp outside Ray Parish, LA
(3) an odd cow giving birth here and there
(4) Paris Hilton passing gas on Bentley leather
(5) the sound Britney makes when she pulls herself off a leather couch with no panties on

And other things too awful to mention in polite company.

And voila! another successful production!

Michael Stipe | 10/24/2007, 3:51 pm EST

Don’t blame Rebecca. She’s just some 12-year-old Avatar. She hasn’t seen the outside world. She knows not what she says, and clearly hasn’t the capacity for reason and logic. She’s a product, too, you know. A product of a world that worships mediocrity, superficiality and infamy.

Kraft Werker Permit | 10/24/2007, 2:52 am EST

Rebecca have you ever heard of a period ? A comma ? Lord. I have a teacher friend that says alot of her students turn in papers using this pathetic “cyber english”, it’s gotten that prevalent. I wince for the future of america.

Britney is a product, invented by souless marketers, ironic since she was a mouseketeer ;) A “singer” who can’t sing ? What’s that ? Has it gotten that bad ? There’s really no difference between her and Milli Vanilli, Britney is stuck on stage to lip-sync to music she had no hand in creating,and a “voice” that’s over-dubbed by 4 other singers. She’s a prop. Always was. They used her sexuality when she was 17 to promote her music with the almost pederast video of her in a Catholic School, pffff. People really can’t seperate talent from style anymore, it’s sad. And by the way, Brit is dumb, REAL dumb. Paris Hilton deservedly gets hung with the dumb bimbo tag but ‘ole Brit, man, she’s not a bright girl, at all.

rebecca | 10/24/2007, 12:45 am EST

this site is stupid pathetic petty n jealous as cuz they know brits new album is great n u know wat i have been waiting ages 4yrs for new material n boycotting the album wont do a thing cuz only she can help herself wen she is ready maybe the success of the new album might inspire her to go back to the britney of old with all that drive n talent she could go all the way to the top again xox good luck brit people need to support u instead of saying n doing this to her no wonder she is going thru this with all u waitng for her to hit rock bottom wen she needs support n sum tough love to get her thru this n she will i know it.

Time to put this sorry-assed cow out to pasture.

I can only think of one thing more pathetic, useless, and vacant than Britney Spears. Her bloody fans!!

Johnny Kickass | 10/23/2007, 4:16 pm EST

When you look at Britney you can tell there’s just nothing going on in her head.

You have to be either a 12 year old girl, a drag queen or a moron with no taste to be a fan of hers. Some people like her ironically, as in ’she’s so bad, she’s good’…but come on, get over it…

Her 15 minutes should’ve been up long ago.

How about boycotting her simply because she’s awful? It’s been freaking years she’s been pushed on us relentlessly … enough!

Mir | 10/23/2007, 3:53 pm EST

Good luck with that :)
Seriously, boycotting an album?
It’s just music , and damn good music at that.
Some people really need to seperate the personal from the professional. If she makes good music then more power to it. If not then don’t. Why should we give a rats ass about “her ways”? It’s her life, period.

Oh Geez.... | 10/23/2007, 3:53 pm EST

I agree with Jodi, I just read what you put. Nice job. I would say poor Britney but people seem to get up set with that so i’m going to say, those poor people who are doing this to her. They really have nothing better to do with their lifes than to try to drag hers father down?! Britney is mess you can’t say other wise yet so are these fools! I hope her album does great just she can have the victory of a big hahahaha in their faces! This could be the point in her life when she flips a u-turn and joins the human race again. I hope every one supports her. Buy it.

Jeffree Star | 10/23/2007, 3:52 pm EST

Her album is amazing!! It’s fucking hot as me…well almost.

Oh Geez.... | 10/23/2007, 3:45 pm EST

I don’t think that that is the way to get the point across to her by any means. She does what she wants to do already! She needs professional help, not ok so if you don’t listen we are going to tell every one not to be your friend and buy your album. She needs some thing good in her life to make her feel good about being her. This could be it. She needs to be able to take care of her self before she can even think about taking care of those babies. This could drive her father down, simply because the people doing this use to the ones that surrounded her and acted like nothing was wrong. Shame on them.

Beelay | 10/23/2007, 2:41 pm EST

Well, it’s not going to be hard for me to boycott her album. I don’t usually make a habit of buying shit on a CD.

To all those who ‘really like’ Britney’s new album of “music”, I pity you.

Jose | 10/23/2007, 2:04 pm EST

I Love her new album, it´s britney, bitch.

violet | 10/23/2007, 1:25 pm EST

britney’s song give me is off the hook. its sexy and appealing

brien | 10/23/2007, 1:11 pm EST

less britney more volta

Jodi | 10/23/2007, 12:11 pm EST

With FRIENDS like this Britney does not need any enemies. The so called friens are :

1) the body guard she fired that then went to court and lied to the judge. Obviously Brit is not an addict to the cocaine and meth this body guard claimed. If she were addicted to these type of drugs she would be very thin (and she is not) and would have great difficulty passing random drug tests (which she passed with flying colors)

2) backing dancer..friend of K-Fed and no friend of Britney

3) make-up artist…is this the one she fired at the mag shoot? Certainly she is not a friend.

Will K-Fed stick around when Brit designates one of her houses as the kids house? The kids stay put while custodial parents move in and out as per their custody arangement. Brit pays for the house and child expense. K-Fed will not have any child expense and therefore will not be getting any child support payments. Any guesses on how long K-Fed will have any interest in his kids when he is not receiving child support pay?

whiny girlie man | 10/23/2007, 11:52 am EST

Leave Britney alone!!!

Zachra | 10/23/2007, 11:11 am EST

I don’t think they’ll have any trouble convincing people not to buy her album.

That sucker should have been titled “FLOP”.

Perez Hilton | 10/23/2007, 10:18 am EST

Britney’s new album…..is amazing…..Piece of me is one of the best songs of the year and Radar is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
