  • Music news you might have missed this year

    UK graffiti assassin Banksy and Danger Mouse scared the hell out of hundreds of UK moms and further tarnished the innocence of teenage girls by planting doctored copies of Paris Hilton’s CD with the sleazy socialite’s top falling off, a dog’s head photoshopped onto her body, and reworked song titles like “Why Am I Famous?” and “What Am I For?” in shops across the UK. Hilton retaliated by filming herself having dispassionate sex and subjecting the entire internet to the results. CBGBs moved to Las Vegas despite a valiant effort by Patti Smith, Bad Brains and Blondie to save the embattled club. Speaking of fossils the Stooges announced plans to record a new album with bassist Mike Watt replacing the late David Alexander. Filmstar heartthrob Scarlett Johansson announced to plans to record an album of Tom Waits covers. Someone stop her. And finally Montreal resident Warren Hill scored a one-of-a-kind Velvet Underground acetate at a street sale for $0.75 and sold it on eBay for $155,401.00. Bastard!
