Organizers of the legendary annual Wacken Open Air festival in Germany have made a critical error of the boneheaded sort.  Attempting to book recently reunited progressive metal band Cynic, organizers accidentally booked a different band from the UK of the same name.[Cut = Read more...] 

Drummer Tim Batkin of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) outfit Cynic (not to be confused with the reunited progressive metallers Cynic) commented:

“The German people have an enviable and just reputation for thoroughness and attention to detail, so it is very disappointing to report that during negotiations for Cynic (UK) to play at Wacken, that whilst they booked and promoted a British heavy metal band from Worcester, England, they believed he had entered into contract with a progressive metal band from the U.S.  Dear Thomas (ever the promoter professional), when he realized his error (well, in fact, he sent our team a link to Wikipedia of Cynic (U.S.) and asked if that was us), and when receiving the negative response, binned us from the show.  So, sorry, guys, we won’t be playing. If anyone could suggest another venue, we would be all ears to come and play. In the meantime, and putting this distraction behind us, we will crack on with the album and get it out to you.”

Buzznet: Have you ever received a love letter from someone or have you ever wrote a love letter to someone? If so who was it from or too and what did you or that person say?

Kenny: Actually one time in high school (a long time ago…) I broke up with a girl on Valentine’s day [cut=Read more...]by writeing her a letter.  Looking back I realize what a horrible thing this was to do because I’m sure when she opened the letter she was excpecting a love note. ooopppsss…

Buzznet: Are you telling anyone in particular you love them this Valentine’s Day? If so who is it and what makes this person deserve your love?

Kenny: I am telling Shari that I love her this Valentine’s day!  She is my wife of over a year and a half and she is AWESOME!  She is the most caring and loving person I know and she is absolutly my best friend!

During an interview that took place minutes ago at Buzznet, a snapshot of Britney Spears‘ time during one of her stays in rehab was revealed to us. [cut=Click to read more...]

Shawn Harris of the rock band The Matches told us about a friend who had undergone treatment at a rehab facility with Britney: Harris said that his friend and Britney were hanging out and when he showed her a video of The Matches, Britney said she found Harris attractive, saying, “I want to have sex with him.” He giggled at the thought, during the interview.

Britney Spears is currently staying at the psych ward in Los Angeles and was unable to attend a child custody hearing case behind closed doors on Monday. No information has been given on Spears’ condition. She was originally set to be released on Sunday, but doctors and a ward medical officer used a California law to keep her longer.

The rest of the interview with The Matches included talk of the band’s new album as well as plans to sell soap bearing The Matches logo.

Thomas Jefferson, Tommy Pickles and Tom Jones. These are just three Hollywood A-listers bros that dawn the name Tom. Don’t forget about the Peeping Tom, tomboys and of course the term tomfoolery. Which of these five musicians live up to the name while the other four should be forced to change their birth certificate?
