 The hotly anticipated high fashion men’s line Royal Underground is poised to hit stores early November, finally sealing the void in the market for sleek yet edgy men’s clothing. In a collaboration that is unprecedented in the worlds of fashion and entertainment, legendary rock star Nikki Sixx has joined forces with former St John CEO Kelly Gray to launch Royal Underground, which is destined to re-set the bar on of-the-moment, high end menswear. The debut holiday 2006 collection features the kind of elements that would be expected when the seemingly divergent worlds of fashion and hardcore rock collide: dark jeans that are hand-cut and embellished, cashmere sweaters are deliciously soft to the touch and tiny details are scattered throughout, like little secrets waiting to be revealed. These might include jacket linings inscribed with the lyrics from a beloved Mötley Crüe ballad, or a cheeky coat-of-arms. The price points are reflective of the quality of the collection, ranging from $100 for T-shirts to $1,200 for the jackets. They won’t have to wait much longer. The collection bows during the first week of November at select Neiman-Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, and Nordstrom stores nationwide, as well as speciality boutiques like M. Frederic in Southern California and Boogies in Aspen.
First Tommy Lee and now Nikki Sixx, I can’t wait to see what Vince Neil comes up with! To be honest, I actually like some of the stuff from the Royal Underground line!

Are CDs like Disco and dead? |

EMI Music Chairman and Chief Executive Alain Levy Friday told an audience at the London Business School that the CD is dead, saying music companies will no longer be able to sell CDs without offering "value-added" material. "The CD as it is right now is dead," Levy said, adding that 60% of consumers put CDs into home computers in order to transfer material to digital music players. EMI Music is part of EMI Group PLC (EMI.LN). But there remains a place for physical media, Levy said. "You’re not going to offer your mother-in-law iTunes downloads for Christmas," he said. "But we have to be much more innovative in the way we sell physical content." Record companies will need to make CDs more attractive to the consumer, he said. "By the beginning of next year, none of our content will come without any additional material," Levy said. CD sales accounted for more than 70% of total music sales in the first half of 2006, while digital music sales were around 11% of the total, according to music industry trade body the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. CD sales were worth $6.45 billion and digital sales $945 million, the IFPI said.

Personally I think CDs could have a fighting chance if they lowered price and actually released CDs with more than one good song…but that is just me.

Ice T’s album cover too sexy for record stores? |

Music shops across America are refusing to stock Ice-T’s new album because of the raunchy image on the cover. The 48-year-old rapper poses nude with his stripper wife Coco draped over him, barely covering his usually concealed weapon. Unless his record label places stickers over the album – which is titled Gangsta Rap and is his first in seven years – the legendary rapper faces a boycott by stores. He said: "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years. You should see the picture when Coco’s leg is not there."

That is not sexy it is nasty…ewww ewww ewww.

Did Atlantic kill Weird Al’s “You’re Pitiful”? |

Bosses at Atlantic records put the kibosh on Weird Al Yankovic’s send-up of James Blunt’s runaway hit “You’re Beautiful.” Yankovic says he actually got permission from Blunt to sing the parody “You’re Pitiful” — but the suits at Blunt’s label wouldn’t hear of it. “It was originally supposed to be the lead single on [his new album] ‘Straight Outta Lynwood’,” Yankovic told Ain’tItCoolNews.com. “James had given it his blessing and we had a release date set, and then his label found out about it and told me that I couldn’t release the parody on my album under any circumstances. Now, I always respect the wishes of artists, but since it was just a bunch of suits — who were going against their own artist’s wishes, mind you — I had no problem offering the song as a free download on weirdal.com. It was a viral worldwide hit within a few days.”
Scoop
That is so wrong, that is song is one of the most annoying songs of the year and so deserves to parodied. If you want to hear Weird Al’s version, you can do so at his MySpace!
