In a bizarro battle of the bands, U2 will duke it out with an evil version of themselves in their upcoming video for “Elevation” – but not before The Edge is kidnapped by the bandmembers’ doppelg”ngers and then rescued by Angelina Jolie. The clip, to be shot this weekend in Los Angeles, will blend U2 and the upcoming “Tomb Raider” movie into one giant action piece, according to director Joseph Kahn (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys). Jolie, who stars in the film’s lead role as a real-life version of video game heroine Lara Croft, will provide the thread between the two… Read more »

Bizkit To Write 'Totally Opposite' LP From Starfish, Durst Says


Limp Bizkit will resort to self-inflicted torture this summer to write the “heaviest album you’ve ever heard,” frontman Fred Durst says. “We’re gonna go in, no air-conditioning, 130 degree room, just mad as f , and just go there,” he said. “We need to go there. “We have a lot to say now, and we’re really emotional,” he continued. “The success has allowed us to step back and look at the world.” Durst said Limp Bizkit have worked on some new material during sound checks, but they plan to start largely afresh when they return from their European tour in… Read more »

Napster's Day Are Numbered?


On Monday (February 12), the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the wildly popular song-swap service Napster to stop its millions of users from trading copyrighted material.

Napster, a company formed around a computer program developed by a teenage college dropout, was gloomy. “Napster is not shut down, but under this decision it could be. We are very disappointed in this ruling by the three judge panel and will seek appellate review,”… Read more »

Following the breakout virality of her haunting alt-pop hit “In My Room” and its biting follow-up “Jennifer’s Body,” dark-pop auteur Julia Wolf returns with her rawest release yet—“Loser.” The single offers a third, striking preview of her forthcoming sophomore album Pressure, due out May 23 via AWAL.
