Discordant, elusive and utterly hypnotic, Loop conjured a saturnine, trancelike spell out that contrasted aggressively with the rife British pop music trends of their time. Equal parts the Stooges, Can and Hawkwind, in tandem with companion travellers Spacemen 3 they resurrected the concept of space-rock for a newfangled epoch, creating monotone soundscapes of dim beauty and abrasive disagreement. Loop was formed in London in 1986 by vocalist/guitarist Robert Hampson, world Health Organization at the time of the group's inception claimed to know only four chords; with married woman Bex on drums and Glen Ray on bass, they debuted with the single "16 Dreams," its raw, feedback-powered sound offering clear evidence of a serious garage fixation. New drummer John Wills and bassist Neil MacKay were sign on a short time later, with their arrival heralding a more than central rhythmical foundation; the reconfigured Loop then issued its 1987 full-length debut Heavens End, taking acclaim for its densely deformed intelligent.


The World in Your Eyes, a compendium of singles and B-sides, appeared in 1987; after sign language to the Chapter 22 label, Loop resurfaced in 1988 with the 12" Collision. In November of that same year the radical besides released their second full-length, the first-class Fade Out. Over a year passed earlier Loop returned to action with the "Arc-Lite" unmarried, now sportsmanlike not only some other new mark, Situation Two, only likewise a second guitar player, Scott Dowson. After issuing their third and finest studio LP, 1990's A Gilded Eternity, Loop disbanded; a series of posthumous releases, among them the live Threefold and the BBC roger Sessions collection Savage Flow, shortly followed. In the stir up of the band's death, its quaternity members split into iI camps -- piece MacKay and Wills reunited in the Hair and Skin Trading Company, Hampson and Dowson went on to form the highly data-based Main.

Usher - Plies Baffled By Usher Snub

Rapper PLIES was left baffled after verses he recorded for an USHER song were mixed - and then inexplicably replaced by a new version of the song featuring LIL WAYNE and BEYONCE.

The hip-hop star happily obliged when Usher approached him to write and record a rap for a remix of his hit song Love In This Club, which he was told would also include Mariah Carey.

But the Florida rapper was shocked after a new version of the song hit the airwaves - featuring Lil Wayne instead of him.

He tells MTV.com, "At the time, it was conveyed to me that it was supposed to be Usher, Mariah Carey and me. Obviously, that was a no-brainer as far as putting down what I had to do. I sent two verses to them.

"Then I get a call from a friend of mine at a radio station that they was getting ready to go with the record, but the version they had didn't have me on it."

But the Shawty hitmaker insists he isn't offended by the rejection.

He adds, "For me, I never allow myself to ever take anything personal in this business.

"I know a lot of times (there's) so much political stuff tied into a decision. It was good (for) me, because I got a call from Usher, and he let me know he was clear about the situation.

"He loved the verse, he loved the record, but on their end, they ended up going with the version they went with. For Usher to even consider me to be a part of the situation, that was good enough for me."

Love In This Club, Pt. II debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart last month (May08), and has since reached number 18.

Jackass star arrested in Hollywood

'Jackass' star Steve-O has been arrested by police investigating claims of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home.
Police arrested the 33-year-old co-star of the MTV programme after a neighbour made a citizen's arrest following a dispute over a fence, Los Angeles police officer Ana Aguirre said.
The British-born star, whose full name is Stephen Glover, was booked at a Hollywood police station on suspicion of vandalism and an outstanding traffic warrant.
He was also charged for investigation of possessing a controlled substance for allegedly having a small quantity of drugs on him, Aguirre said.

Local Mayor leads Bond protest

James Bond is renowned for keeping his cool but Daniel Craig needed all his suave attitude when Carlos Lopez, mayor of a Chilean town near the new Bond film's current shooting location, led 200 angry locals onto the set.
Lopez was arrested for driving onto the set at the head of 200 locals protesting the police presence around the film set, and the fact that Chile was being used as a location to represent events that were taking place in Bolivia.
Watch behind the scenes footage from the new Bond film here.
Lopez told Reuters: "For a town that has just 1,000 residents, sending in special forces and water cannon, preventing people from walking in the street, reminded me of the worst of the Pinochet years."
"I also disagree with national territory being used as locations (to represent) other countries. Even in a fictional film, unfortunately friendly, neighbouring countries use decisions like this to make unjustified claims."
The new Bond film, 'Quantum of Solace', is shooting in a controversial area that was annexed by Chile in the late 1800s having been part of Bolivia to that point.
'Quantum of Solace' opens on 31 October.

Walt Disney - Tivo Subscribers To Get Disney Movies

Subscribers to the TiVo service will soon be able to "rent" movies from the Walt
Disney Co. via their digital video recorders and view them on their television sets,
the company announced Wednesday. It said that some films will be available in high
definition. The service, which will require an Internet connection, will compete with similar
services from Amazon, Apple, and Netflix. (The TiVo service involves a partnership
with another online movie provider, CinemaNow.) Meanwhile, TiVo, which rarely displays
black ink in its quarterly reports, said Wednesday that it had earned $3.6 million
during its latest quarter, up from $835,000 from the year-ago period. It attributed
the result, the best in its history, to lower operating costs. The number of its
subscribers, however fell to 3.8 million, versus 4.3 million during the same period a
year ago. It also said that it expects a net loss of $2-4 million in the current
quarter.

For much of the 1990s, pianist Wayne Gratz delivered one refined new age-inflected, smooth pianoforte album after another, each with a different temper and concomitant musical theme. Gratz's presence on the Narada roll gave him substantial equity in footing of list recognition, helping him become one of the more recognized and best-selling artists working within his niche. Critics slammed him for existence less inspired than insipid and bitterly reproached his accessible, mass market glide slope. The artist pink-slipped such criticism and continued releasing albums at a prolific rate -- this being most discernible in 1997, when he cranked out four-spot LPs. Gratz always focussed on a especially appealing motif -- for deterrent example, some albums were interpretations of popular medicine, others odes to particular locales. While the pianist often focused his efforts on composition and playing both the piano and synthesizers, he would as well collaborate with a variety show of musicians for each album, infusing eclectic sounds and styles into his accessible approaching.
