www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/local/19913/Magic-Dirts-Dean-Turner-dead.htmNo official word at this stage, but it sounds fairly legit ... even if you weren't a fan, this is fucking sad. I've always loved MD and Dean was a fucking great bass player. Nice guy too, I remember him always looking out for the little kids at the front of their gigs at All Ages shows back in the day ... if it is true, it is a sad loss.

The horrors side shows:
Wednesday 20 January – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney Wednesday 27 January – Corner Hotel, Melbourne Saturday 30 January – Amplifier Bar, Perth
always regretted not seeing these guys in 2007 - I was lazy one night and should have just gone, so i think this settles me going somewhere for some shows - WA kids, are there any shows around that weekend in Perth? Could be the excuse for me to get over there

As for the The Horrors, I've been just getting into them. Not bad stuff.

I know you all hate my taste in music so flame away! haha, atleast you're open about some of the shit you like i read creed just shot a live dvd with 250 cameras! pretty crazy. i dont like the freeze shit they've done on there (move the camera while the band is frozen) but each to their own. i dont think they care if people who wont buy their stuff care

I like the sound of creed's new album, but I haven't given it a full listen yet. My own prison, some of Human Clay, Most of Weathered, and Scott Staps solo work and also Alter Bridge's (rest of band) stuff was all really good.
Here's the official info on live from the guitarist
"There have been tons of crazy rumors surrounding the hiatus of LIVE. I have read quite a few and laughed at the extremely creative imaginations of our fans. I’ve been reluctant to fan the flames but the rumors are getting further away from the truth and I will try to set the record straight from my standpoint.
First and foremost, Ed has every legal right to perform the songs he helped birth while being the front man for LIVE. The copyrights for these songs are owned by Chad Gracey, Patrick Dahlheimer, Ed Kowlalczyk and myself. Ed does not control the catalog but rather the bands publishing company, Black Coffee Publishing, Inc. Black Coffee is a majority rule corporation.
Yes, it is true, there was a hidden publishing contract singed in 2005. I personally discovered it via a communication breakdown. Ed is listed as the only signature. When I wrote him to find some resolution to the situation, he failed to respond. I have left these matters to our attorneys who will no doubt file a complaint. Honestly, I don’t care about the financial/legal outcome of these matters, the proof is on the page. Ed was able to stab his three best friends from middle school in the back. This act was far down the line from typical rock star ego. As you can imagine I am deeply hurt and wounded.
In light of these matter, I can’t ever see myself working with Ed, let alone ever being in the same room with him. LIVE was always about the band, when Ed lost sight of that in favor of his own ambitions and goals, our considerable fans base began to sigh a collective yawn.
As band mates and friends and despite the lack of fresh material we continued to support Ed with all of our integrity. The final blow was Ed’s request for a $100,000 “lead singer bonus” to perform as surprise guests at this years Pink Pop Festival. I was informed of his request by our management and politely told them to “fuck off.”
Ed will no longer be the vocalist for the band LIVE. At this point in time, we have made no official plans to replace him but it is clear that he is no friend of mine or the lifelong fans of LIVE.
I have focused my energy on creating new music with The Gracious Few. I look forward to seeing many LIVE fans in the audience at our shows. Patrick, Chad and I have made a pledge to honor our long shared history with the fans of LIVE. You will always be graciously welcome in our house.
Love
Chad Taylor"
Pretty dirty at ed, he was kinda like Billy preaching peace and love etc. It's over for him anyway, the band makes live special when you see them live. They had amazing energy, more than any other bands I've seen including fooeys and pumpkins. It just made you feel happy. We saw ed solo during the year and it was ok, nothing special, just a guy who could sing with a guitar and a few good songs - (australian idol anyone?)

Smart Studios is closing - undercover.com.au/News-Story.aspx?id=10102After 27-years, Smart Studios, the Madison, Wisconsin recording facility owned by Butch Vig and Steve Marker of Garbage, is to close. Vig, who produced classic albums such as Nirvana ‘Nevermind’ and Smashing Pumpkins ‘Siamese Dream’ at Smart Studios, puts the reasons for the closure down to the current ease of accessibility of recording technology. "You can look at the closing of Smart as a direct reflection of what's been happening in the music business and the technology changes that have happened over the last 10 years," Vig told Madison newspaper Isthmus. "Now anyone can get a laptop and make recordings in their basement for next to nothing. I know Grammy-winning engineers in L.A. who are struggling to find work." Vig and Marker recorded all of their Garbage albums at Smart. Other albums recorded there were Smashing Pumpkins ‘Gish’, L7 ‘Bricks Are Heavy’, Everclear ‘Sparkle and Fade’, Soul Asylum ‘Let Your Dim Light Shine’, Fall Out Boy ‘Take This To The Grave’ and Death Cab For Cutie ‘Plans’. While the big names recorded at Smart, Vig and Marker were most proud of the fact that 75% of sessions done within the studios were from local acts. "Two-thirds of our client list was local and regional bands, and Steve and [chief engineer] Mike [Zirkel] and I are probably even prouder of those projects than the [Smashing] Pumpkins and Sparklehorse and Freedy Johnston. We tried to help as many local bands and labels as we could," Vig told Isthmus. A Facebook fan page titled Smart Studios Appreciation Society has been set up for fans and bands to post photos and comments about the Smart Studios era.
