Two members of Evanescence have exited the band, which leaves room for question about the future of the band.
Guitarist John LeCompt was fired from the band and drummer Rocky Gray had quit.
LeCompt said: “I’m done and I’m pretty upset about it.(Singer) Amy [Lee] called and fired me today. There’s absolutely no loyalty in this band.”
The guitarist said he is now focusing on his new band with Gray called Machina.
On his blog he writes: “Around 3:30 pm yesterday I received a call on my cell from Amy. This call wasn’t from a friend who appreciated me but from an enemy who was prepared to hurt me and my family. Without any warning or negotiations for my future, I was fired for no good reason. We have not always seen eye to eye on everything, but who does?”
“Our common goal was always the same. To make Evanescence the best rock band it could ever be. I have always given blood, sweat and tears to make that happen but apparently that is not enough. I have now become just another of the people fallen by the wayside on the revolving door of her life. It’s funny how many of us there are now. I guess it’s good for lyrical content, though. Maybe I will be among the blessed to have a song written about me, too. Maybe the song will be ‘Call Me When You’re Broke’.”
To me, this questions Amy Lee’s decision making and motives, simply because they should have talked it through before she just goes ahead and fires him from the band. I actually find this news rediculous - it seems as if there was no reasoning behind it. Although Amy Lee has not said anything as of yet, the news does seem a bit odd. We will post again when Amy comes out with an official word.

Andy Mckee’s inventiveness and creativeness is what leads him to be one of the greatest fingerstyle guitarists of all time. The finalist of several fingerstyle competitions, Mckee has been playing guitar for over 25 years. Although there are no words in any of Andy’s songs, they speak for themselves. Check this out:

Ex-Smashing Pumpkins guitarist, James Iha, has announced that he has no intention of touring with the band this spring/summer.
Iha claims he is too busy writing music for his solo project and working on his indie record label, Scratchie Records. He even told Rolling Stone, “I haven’t spoken to Billy [Corgan] in years.”
The only members on board for the reunion so far are singer Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain. It does not appear that guitarist Iha or bassist Wretzky will join.
However, temporary member Melissa Auf der Maur has stated, “My services are always there to play my favorite songs. If D’arcy [Wretzky] is not available, I’m always happy to be second in line.”
With Iha’s announcement, a few questions are brought up.
Only time will tell..
What do you think about this “reunion”?

Apple has always been known for going through movements to prevent *piracy*, so again they tried to prevent it here. They do not want you to be able to copy songs from iPod to PC, but there is a quick and easy way. This 2 minute tutorial will show you how to access your songs outside of iTunes and how to then back up your iPod onto your computer, assuming you are running Windows.
The iPod has simply “hidden” the songs from you, so all you have to do is to “unhide” the folders.
To view the songs on your iPod:
Here, you are viewing the iPods song archive. Since the iPod has a different file system, it will be unorganized.
To back up, access, or play the songs:
This is a very useful technique if you want to back up your iPod in one place, instead of having it scattered around throughout your hard drive. Also, this way you can copy songs to other computers just like you can when you use it as an external hard drive. The only downside is that some of the songs in iTunes AAC format may not work on the second computer.

A decade after his murder turned the Hip-Hop community upside down, Bad Boy records released the second post-humous Biggie Smalls album, titled Greatest Hits. While his musical prominence lives on, this effort seems little more than cashing in on anniversary of the legendary rapper’s death.
While the album contains two “new” tracks, it doesn’t provide any extra incentive for long time Biggie fans to dive in. The 17 track album leaves out some of his biggest hits such as Mo Money Mo Probelms, Party & Bullshit, Gimme the Loot, Goin’ Back to Cali and Sky’s The Limit. Perhaps this should have been a two disc album? I think so.
And in the age of CD Burners, there isn’t much to this album - it’s just a heavily promoted Notorious BIG mix tape. With 10 years to prepare for a Greatest Hits album for arguably the Greatest Rapper ever, one would think that P. Diddy would have greater plans for his greatest friend. Why not have a two disc compilation - the first being Biggie classics and the second featuring new artists paying tribute, with original tracks and remixes?
The answer is in the dollars. Slap a few songs together, label it Greatest Hits, put on a couple new songs and watch the dough roll in. It doesn’t do justice to how we should really be remembering one of the most influential artists in the history of music.

With over 14 million satellite radio subscribers in the United States, XM and Sirius have outsmarted these people by selling a product that is well not worth the money. The only reason to buy satellite radio is if you are too lazy and defiant to click through your favorite stations when there is a commercial on FM radio. Here, you will learn the differences between FM and satellite radio, and why there are better alternates to satellite radio.
Satellite radio comes in 2 basic forms - the integrated car stereo, and the portable player, much like an iPod.
Satellite Radio vs. FM Radio
More stations, less commercials. That is the reason to buy XM or Sirius radio. But not without exception.

Washington DC Radio station Hot 99.5 picked up the $19,000 tab to bail Bobby Brown out of jail on Wednesday morning, when nobody else would. The former R&B star was in jail for failure to pay child support. While Bobby Brown has had several hit songs, he is probably best known for his rocky relationship (and current divorce) with diva Whitney Houston and his legal issues.
The $19,000 needed for bail would have, at one point, been pocket change for the fallen singer. Unable to find anyone to help him out, Hot 99.5 decided to attract some attention by bailing him out of jail in exchange for him “working at the station” for a week. The stunt was organized byKane of the Hot 99.5 morning show along with Brown’s attorney, Phaedra Parks.
According to the station, the singer was given limo service, hotel reservations for himself and friends and other amenities. But when the singer joined them live on-air via telephone, the mood changed rather quickly.Â
Kane framed the promotion as an opportunity for Bobby Brown to have a fresh start and do something positive in Washington DC, potentially winning over fans who have only seen the negative portrayed by the media. In the interview, Kane began discussing the negative portrayed in the media and the singer began a bitter dialogue which disputed the facts surrounding his jailing and release. As tempers began to escalate, Brown hung up the phone, refusing to come to DC as part of the station’s staff as originally promised and contractually obligated.
The On-Air phone conversations with Brown can be found on the station’s website at www.Hot995.com. This follows the “status quo” for Brown, who given every opportunity, refuses to reform his ways. The bitterness surrounding his fall from fame and fortune seem to have perpetuated his negative behavior.
Phone calls around the DC community have expressed anger and frustration at the singer, not only for his antics with the station, but for his continuing legal struggles. Now we know why nobody cared to bail out Bobby Brown… while he’s ashamed of nothing, anyone linked with him should feel very ashamed.
