Pete
Doherty Finds Jesus
It's the day of follow-ups, folks. And what
better way to keep the ball rolling than a Pete
Doherty story - a fucked up turn of events at that. The Babyshamble's frontman, who
recently checked himself into the famed Portuguese
drug clinic to kick his smack habit has reportedly
found Jesus. It is reported by Britain's Daily
Star that the singer/songwriter is looking to get
baptized once he leaves the clinic.
Of course, it will be interesting to see how the
church takes in a person who usually cares less of
what the public thinks of him by allowing pictures
of him jacked up and his super fly ex Kate Moss
doing lines. Of course, they do accept George
Bush, so anything is possible.

White
Stripes Win Royalties Lawsuit
Following an on-going story and hopefully a closure,
the White Stripes have won a lawsuit brought against
them by their ex-producer, Jim Diamond. A
federal jury ruled on Thursday that Jack and Meg
White do not have to share royalties with Diamond
who claimed he was responsible for their signature
sound off their first two albums. The eight-member
panel only took 20 minutes to deliberate and reach a
decision.

Subways Back On Tour; Beat Vocal Issues
Ah the trials of puberty. After sitting out
for the past few weeks and combating the problem for
months, singer/guitarist Billy Lunn has overcome
nodules (click link below for medical definition) on his vocal chords which originally forced
the band to cancel multiple shows including a much
needed appearance at Coachella. The act stated
in a recent press release:“To the bands
delight (Lunn) has been informed that, though not
completely gone, his vocal nodules have shown vast
improvement.”
The trio will get back on the tour schedule and
debut some new material while supporting last year's
release Young for Eternity.

Killers Relocate to Finish New Album In London
The Killers have reportedly relocated to London in
hopes of finishing their as-of-yet titled new album.
The follow up to 2005's Hot Fuss was originally
started in the groups Las Vegas studio but jetted
overseas to put the finishes touches down.
Frontman Brandon Flowers posted his thoughts on the
new album:"It's shaping up to be a lot more
serious than the last album. I guess that's
because the band is growing up. We're not singing
about teenage girls anymore."
We'll keep you posted on track listings and album

Panic! at the Disco's ex Bassist Pissed
Former Panic! at the Disco's bassist Brent Wilson
just turned it up to 11. After what seemed like a
quiet split, the ex-mate has verbally discharged
some harsh remarks against his old band. What was
once 'a decision we came to as a band' is now put
more elegantly by Wilson in a recent MTV.com
interview:
"I was kicked out of the band," he said. ""It was
100 percent a surprise to me. We were about to leave
for a show in California, and they called me the
night before and told me I was out of the band. The
only reason they gave was that it was for 'musical
purposes.' Everything was good and fine, we had just
gotten back from a tour in Europe, and there had
been no previous conversations about anyone leaving
the band. I don't know why they chose me."
At press, the only comment the band had was that
they wished to put the event behind them and move
on. We'll see if Wilson is willing to do the same. |

Pete Yorn's New Album
Details; Tour Info
A George Lucas he's not. Pete Yorn is putting
the final touches on his newest album, entitled
Nightcrawler which would culminate his self
described 'trilogy' - each album covered morning,
day, and night. Nightcrawler is due out
August 15th via Columbia Records and is the
follow-up to the much beloved
Musicforthemorningafter [2001] and the safe but
solid Day I Forgot [2003]. While it was
a consensus thought around Pensatos that Yorn would
release a b-sides to his last effort, Day I Forgot
because it was reported he had originally conceived
it as a double album, it never happened and we've
been in the dark for almost 3 years:
"Every time I put something out, I need time to
re-group," he told billboard.com. "Every song I
write has its own life and term of development. I'm
not the type of writer to set aside certain hours
each day to write. It just takes time to come."
Yorn plans on trying out some of the new titles on
tour before the final release of the album.

Doherty Misses Court
Appearance Because of Rehab
It's just getting old folks. Pete Doherty
is missing court once again for his recent drug
possession charges. This time however, the
judge was happy since the reason Doherty could not
make the scheduled appearance was because of self
detained rehab in Portugal.
How the rehab went is still up in the air; Doherty
returned this weekend so we'll have more soon.
