Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Mudvayne and Soil are inviting fans to A Night of Merry Mayhem, the 33-city jaunt formerly known as the Black Christmas tour.

Global media companies Viacom Inc. and News Corp. Ltd. Tuesday tallied up hundreds of millions of dollars in losses as advertising revenues were hurt by a weak economy and an uncertain outlook after the Sept. 11 hijacked jetliner attacks. The attacks led many networks to air commercial-free coverage of the news events for at least five straight days.

Earlier this year, the four original members of Black Sabbath- Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Terry “Geezer” Butler, and Bill Ward-got together to try to write some new material, possibly for another Sabbath album. And while they did come up with at least one new song-“Scary Dreams,” which was performed during this summer’s OzzFest sets-Osbourne tells LAUNCH that the prospect of more new music from Black Sabbath music is unlikely. “We all sat down and said, ‘It’s gotta be the same way as it was before,’ but it wasn’t, you know?

For some, the last two weeks have been a time when the role of music abruptly shifted from the indispensable rhythm of life to a frivolous, even annoying, specter of sound. It was, therefore, with great expectation mixed with a bit of trepidation that dance-music fans in the New York area received the news of the all-star DJ lineup – which included Moby, Danny Tenaglia, Little Louie Vega and David Morales – assembled for a fundraising event Tuesday at the nightclub Centro-Fly. The occasion was dreamed up on September 13 by the club’s owners, Tom Sisk and David Baxley, when… Read more »
