Over the last few days, a few people have told me about “Metalocalypse”, a cartoon about the adventures of a death metal band.

It’s definitely not for kids as it’s brutally graphic but quite humorous at the same time.

Think of Spinal Tap meets Scooby Doo and you can start to imagine what it’s like.

It’s worth checking out as it seems to be gathering quite an online following.

stuff.co.nz – Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has slammed his record label and strongly encouraged fans to steal music.

Reznor launched a stinging tirade against Universal Music Australia on Sunday at the group’s concert at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, dismayed at the high price the label charged for CDs.

He called the record label “greedy f**king assholes”. It followed similar diatribes earlier in the year.

“Steal it. Steal away. Steal, steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealing,” Reznor, who has been dubbed the Ralph Nader of the music industry, said.

Auckland, NZ, Sept. 13, 2007 – Mr Ellis may be right about Rome not being built in a day but for all our sakes lets hope he isn’t Nero.

The fact that TVNZ has recorded its first ever loss can surely not solely be blamed on the mistakes of past management.

If we look at the current programming and commissioning decisions coming from TVNZ it is clear nothing is being done to reverse this downward slide.

Decisions such as removing the head of News and Current Affairs from the Executive Committee (in charge of the vision and direction of TVNZ) show that the PR and marketing managers are now in charge of our network.

TVNZ6 which will be made up of 75% repeat programming will become a graveyard for charter shows while repeats of Friends will remain in prime time on TV2.

Clearly TVNZ is not ready and not able to make the transition to this new digital broadcasting environment and continues to let down New Zealand audiences that want to see our culture and our people on our screens.

If Mr Ellis really wants to reverse the decline in revenue and ratings he should look to the mistakes the network is about to make rather than the mistakes of those that came before and indeed after him.

telegram.com – Machine Head is disturbing The Mouse.

Twice this month, House of Blues concert venues on Disney-owned property — one in Anaheim and one in Orlando — booted long-booked Machine Head concerts just days ahead of the scheduled performances.

The Orlando House of Blues also forced death-metal band Cannibal Corpse to change venues.

“It’s pretty disturbing,” said Machine Head singer Robb Flynn. “We are shocked that in this day and age, in 2007 America, that bands can be pressured, (and) that promoters can be pressured by a business and be removed from a venue because somebody doesn’t like what your lyrics stand for or think that your fans are crazy.

We’ve played these venues before, and there was no indication that anything was going to be different.”

nytimes.com - Beginning in 1984, when he started Def Jam Recordings, until his more recent occupation as a career-transforming, chart-topping, Grammy Award-winning producer, Rubin has never gone to an office of any kind.

That wasn’t a problem: Columbia didn’t want Rubin to punch a clock. It wanted him to save the company. And just maybe the record business.

stuff.co.nz – Rumours that Rage Against the Machine will perform at next year’s Big Day Out music festival have intensified after tour dates for the reformed rock act were announced in Australia.

Rage Against the Machine reformed earlier this year after Chris Cornell left Audioslave and the remaining members reunited with singer Zach de la Rocha.

They played their first concert in eight years at the Coachella Festival in America, and have been touring on-and-off ever since.

Australian music website Undercover.com.au reported Rage would play the Sydney Entertainment Centre on January 22 and Melbourne’s Festival Hall on January 30.
