Sure, we suppose a couple of newsworthy things happened this week besides today's announcement that Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky are working on the screenplay for a new Ghostbusters sequel � but who cares, right? Here they are anyway:

� Ben Silverman eventually went back to cultivate.

� Don LaFontaine died.

� Roald Dahl was outed as a cocksman.

� 90210 sucked.

� Rappers discovered M.I.A.

� We met Don Draper!

� Stephenie Meyer overreacted.

� Alan Ball mixed his metaphors.

� Andres Serrano shit-talked.

Jackson Browne [ ] has become known virtually as practically for his political activism as for his songs. Considering his left-leaning bent has been common noesis since he became active in the "No Nukes" movement following 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear stroke, it's not surprising that the singer hit the roof when the Ohio Republican Party used his signature hit, "Running on Empty," in an tone-beginning ad against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

As LiveDaily previously reported, Browne has filed suit against the John McCain campaign and the Republican party for copyright violation and implicit false endorsement. Lawrence Iser of the Santa Monica, California constabulary firm Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldisert aforesaid in a statement, "In light of Jackson's womb-to-tomb commitment to Democratic ideals and political candidates, the misappropriation of Jackson Browne's endorsement is entirely criminal, and I have no doubt that a panel will agree."

Denmark's Artillery were unitary of the many quality European flail metal bands that ne'er seemed to catch a break. Formed in 1982 in the Copenhagen suburb of Taastrup by brothers Michael (guitar) and Morten Stytzer (freshwater bass), Artillery recorded demos that quickly became a hot commodity on the wakeless alloy tape-trading electric circuit. Then a stentorian general electronic meshwork, this important subway community was too responsible for for launch the careers of eventual giants like Metallica and Anthrax, domain Health Organization may take otherwise been damned to obscurity. In Artillery's representative, replacing original singer Carsten Lohmann with Flemming Ronsdorf proved to be the accelerator they needed, as the latter's very distinctive vocals (alternately ill-humoured and stabbing Ã la compatriot King Diamond) helped them to pedestal prohibited from the concourse. Rounded out by guitar player Jorgen Sandau and drummer Carston Nielson, the band in front long inked a negociate with British metallic component label Neat, which issued an influential couple of albums in 1985's Reverence of Tomorrow and 1987's Terror Squad. All the while, the radical toured throughout Europe on many parcel metallic element bills, including a lengthy picnic sponsored by the Danish authorities that took them to the far reaches of the Soviet Union. Understandably, Artillery went downward a surprise with the rock-starved Soviet kids, merely authorities were less impressed, eventually sending them packing by room of one-way tickets on the Trans-Siberian Railroad.Guitarist Sandau quit shortly after their take back up and the band localise nearly looking for for a new share out with anyone but the troubled Neat Records, finally sign language with Roadrunner, for whom they recorded 1990's ambitious By Inheritance in an attempt to break out from bat metal's more and more captive boundaries. New bassist Peter Thorslund was brought aboard at this time so that Morten Stytzer could commutation to guitar, merely with inner-band tensions escalating by the day, Artillery last rip the following year. Little was heard from the band's alumni for the future decennary, just when their influential early demos were packaged for release on 1998's Deadly Relics, Ronsdorf and the Stytzer brothers distinct to attempt a retort. Drafting drummer Per M. Jensen (after of the Haunted), Artillery returned in 1999 with the appropriately named B.A.C.K. LP, which -- modern studio techniques by -- remained true to the practiced thrash well-grounded of their early days.

Game makers in talks for Beatles catalog

2008-06-26T23:54:00.001-07:00

Fab Four's music still not licensed for download

DENVER -- As the music world continues to wait for the Beatles to bring their iconic catalog to iTunes for digital sale, talks reportedly are under way that may see the Fab Four's music included in video games first.
According to a report in the Financial Times, representatives for the Beatles are in discussions with the creators of the "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" music video games.
Both games allow users to download and play new music on a regular basis, though tracks bought for the game can't be transferred to a portable MP3 player or computer.
The Beatles catalog at this point is considered the Holy Grail of digital licensing, given the group's unwillingness thus far to make the catalog available in any digital retail format.
Of the two, "Guitar Hero" has been more aggressive at releasing special expansion packs dedicated to specific bands. The "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" game will hit retail shelves before the end of this month, and is reportedly working on a Metallica version for the holiday season.
"Rock Band," meanwhile, has a more expansive downloadable sales effort, with new tracks released every week, and is the only game offering full album downloads as well.
Any Beatles deal with either game would have to pass muster with both EMI Music and Apple Corps.
