Lil' Kim was on her way to an awards show where she was nominated as best female hip hop artist when she saw her 250,000 Queen Bee necklace stolen from her Louis Vuitton bag. The bag had up to $500,000 in jewelry including the necklace. A error at the check-in counter caused the bag to be mixed up with eight other pieces of Lil' Kim's luggage. She realized the mistake and the flight was delayed while the bag was retrieved. She got her bag back, some jewelry was found while others pieces were gone and the bag looked tampered with. Lil' Kim filed a report for lost jewelry, Port Authority police are investigating.

Santana is already working on his next album, HYMNS. The album will be totally instrumental. "Basically instrumental hymns, just instrumental songs," Santana said. "Kind of like Eric Johnson or Steve Vai--not that I'm going in that direction, but more in the sense that it's instrumental." The album will be finished soon and should be released before the end of this year or in early 2004.

Sony have made a new record label area called Tofu Records (hp http://www.jpopcd.com ) and are releasing the aptly titled 'JPOP CD' in the near future featuring some of their well known acts such as JUDY and MARY, Hyde and Ken Hirai as well as mixing in some anime themes such as the new, but popular, Gundam Seed OP 'Believe'.

The target is anime/Jpop fans who usually download mp3s I guess but this is one of the first few steps to get JPop from well knopwn artists to the US.

I guess.

Tsunku, lord of the Hello! Project domain has put out a request for girls aged 15 to 24 in search of a new unit. Given the age range fans hope it will be a more mature sound which can be given from so few units of H!P. Girls are asked to send in video tapes of themselves singing a chourus of Morning Musume's 'AS FOR ONE DAY' in hopes of seeing themselves in the new unit.

This comes less than three weeks after the annoucement of the new Hello! Project unit ROMANS (proncounced Romance) featuring a new sexy image from several girls from different units including Mari and from Morning Musume and Ayaka from Cocconuts Musume. Although this unit has been greeted with um...critisism on...er...their heavy make-up, it seems that Tsunku is making up for the lack in maturity and sexiness in one large go with this new unit.

So...um yay!

Some Bands Spurn Apple's iTunes Online Music Store
Wed July 2, 2003 07:56 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rock bands The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica are refusing to make their music available as individual downloads on Apple Computer Inc's AAPL.O iTunes online music store, a representative for the bands, said on Wednesday.
That move comes in response to Apple's decision to allow users to buy single tracks and is intended to protect the future of the long-playing album, the format that has dominated the music industry for decades, an agent for the bands said.

"Our artists would rather not contribute to the demise of the album format," said Mark Reiter, with Q Prime Management Co., which manages the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica and several other artists.

Green Day and Linkin Park, according to a source familiar with the situation, have also refused to make their songs available as individual downloads on the Apple service, which has already sold more than 5 million songs since launching this spring.

According to Reiter, Apple refuses to sell albums in their entirety unless the artists also allow the tracks on the album to be sold independently as digital downloads.

"We can't let a distributor dictate the way our artists sell their music," Reiter said, adding that the business terms were otherwise acceptable.

Apple had no immediate comment.

Calling the issue more a "creative issue than a financial issue," Reiter said the artists felt that if consumers can download their singles, they are less apt to buy entire albums.

"If you download a single, you may ignore the other tracks on the album," he said. "When our artists record a body of work, it's what they deem to be representative of their careers at that time."

P.S.- Green Day does offer tracks at iTMS- Nobu

'Hypocritical' Metallica launches music download service
It'll be Alanis Morissette next... and that really would be ironic...

Call it a change of heart or call it hypocrisy, but Metallica, the band who famously hounded Napster all the way into extinction is to launch its own free music download service.

Metallicavault.com is set to go live on Thursday and users will be able to access the service using a code printed on the inside of the band's latest CD.

With very little sense of irony, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said in a statement: "We've always wanted our fans to experience our music online."

"But up until now, the existing distribution methods have not passed the kind of 'quality' standards our fans have come to expect from us," he added.

Its anti-Net phase now apparently over, Metallica joins with other musicians and recording labels using the web to promote albums. Madonna recently created a huge buzz when she sold her "American Life" single on Madonna.com.

When file-swapping exploded in peer-to-peer communities such as Napster, the members of Metallica were among the first artists to lash out. The band sued Napster in April 2000; and at the time, the band implicated more than 335,000 Napster screen names for sharing Metallica songs online illegally. The band wasn't threatening to sue the software users, but demanded that Napster block them from its MP3-swapping service.

At the time, the Metallica lawsuit said: "Napster has built a business based on large-scale piracy. Facilitating that are hypocritical universities and colleges who could easily block this insidious and ongoing thievery scheme."

Despite the heated charges, the band now says its early grievances were merely about the quality of music offered through Napster file-swapping, not about the theft.

Metallica's suit was later combined with many other similar suits against Napster, which were resolved when a federal judge ordered Napster to block copyrighted music files.

Yeah i've heard most of his new songs, and they're good, have fun and tell us all about it. I'm currently waiting for the new John Mayer album "Heavier Things" and I don't like John Mayer like young girls do, i think he's a very talented guitarist and songwriter, i love playing his songs, they're awesome. And i've been wondering about a new Cold Play album, but i haven't heard anything about them.if anyone has please tell me.

peace
