Pop Star's "Held Hostage" Album Mysteriously Appears Online Posted by Pile (9747 views) [E-Mail link]	[Viral Marketing] [Music]
It seems Fiona Apple, dark pop songstress who disappeared from the scene several years ago is again making news. Apparently she put out an album called, Extraordinary Machine, that her record label, Sony, didn't feel contained an appropriate pop single, so they held her work hostage and wouldn't release the album. Now tracks from this album have mysteriously appeared on the Internet, delighting her fans. The irony is that for all the bad-guy-image Sony may inherit from this scenario, they'll probably ride this net-buzz all the way to the bank, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the company actually leaked the album to create a buzz.

Eminem lip synches on SNL? Posted by RantMaster (8053 views) [E-Mail link]	[Music]
Someone explain this to me. A week after the Jessica Simpson debacle where her lip synch tape screws up and she blames it on acid reflux and/or her band, Eminem shows up to perform his Internet cult-hit "Mosh" only to be lip synching it? What is the freaking deal here? Granted, I am admitting that I am still watching SNL even though it is falling into another one of those "sh*t phases" like during Joe Piscapo's "reign" of the 80s (word is if you run into Joe these days, he'll knock 10 cents off the price of super-sizing your Big Mac value meal), but even so, I can't believe the inconsistency would be this blatant? Tell me I'm a fool for believin'.
