- As you no doubt heard via a stunned tweet or status update on the weekend, Lady Sovereign was arrested and charged $400 for spitting at a bouncer at The Beat nightclub after she was thrown out for “hysterical” behaviour. She’d arrived seven hours before for her first Parklife show. No conviction was recorded and the chastened ‘biggest midget in The Beat’ was able to perform as scheduled on Saturday.
- The Drones will be releasing a live album this Thursday Oct 1. Entitled Live At The Hi-Fi, it was recorded at the opening of the West End venue earlier this year. Released via ATP/MGM, it will be available as a bonus disc with current studio album Havilah, or as stand-alone download from iTunes.
- Former Savage Garden guitarist Daniel Jones, who’s been living in LA this year with wife Kathleen, will from next month make his stay in America permanent. He’s getting a lot of offers for his production.
- Triple J’s brekkie co-host Robbie Buck will leave the network in January after 11 years. He becomes host of Evenings on 702 ABC Sydney, 666 ABC Canberra and ABC Local Radio NSW.
- To those idiots who throw coins at Lisa Mitchell when she sings Coin Laundry, she would like you to know – it’s not cute, it HURTS!
- Foxtel grudgingly gave Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum permission appear on Nine’s Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunions – but are so annoyed that they abandoned negotiations to extend his deal with them.
- In a spoof of Kanye West’s antics at the MTV Awards, Jack White bum-rushed the stage at the Toronto Film Festival as the director of a White Stripes doco fielded questions from the audience, grabbed his mic and yelled, “I’m gonna let you finish, I’m gonna let you finish…” Take a look at the clip here.
- Once you’ve check Rave’s Tour News for the first Big Day Out 2010 line-up announcement, perhaps you might like to compare it with some of the rumours still circulating, including: David Bowie doing an acoustic set, Eminem, Weezer, and Blink 182 (which would be interesting given Travis Barker is still afraid to fly after surviving a plane crash). Conor Oberst, Jim James and M.Ward supergroup Monsters Of Folk also told Triple J they could be here in January, either as part of Big Day Out or on their own dates. Whether any of this lot will make the second line-up announcement is anyone’s guess.
