News has surfaced that it might all be over for the hugely influential LCD Soundsystem.
Al Doyle, who plays guitar for US dance act LCD Soundsystem (and is also in Hot Chip) told BBC 6Music (reported in full here) that "I don't think James is going to do anything more under that name [LCD Soundsystem]. I think he'd like to do something with the same personnel possibly next year."
Doyle goes on to reveal "We were thinking of doing something where we find a lot of the old disco singers in New York that might still be around from the 70s, and get them in as guest vocalists with LCD as a backing band, and tour around as a disco heroes style show... It's just an idea that we had. God knows if we'll make it happen."
This news follows a special James Murphy disco night at new super-club matter but more significantly news (reported by NME) that Mister Murphy has started a new to-be-moniker'd "rock" band with Pat Maloney plus two of the guys from little known band Hockey Night.

From the AP:
The bass player for the Deftones is in a San Jose hospital following a serious car crash.
The rock band's singer, Chino Moreno, says 38-year-old Chi Cheng was injured in the crash Monday in Santa Clara. Moreno told the Sacramento Bee that he didn't have many details but that it's "very serious."
The Deftones came together in Sacramento in 1988 and released their first album in 1995 on Madonna's Maverick Records label. A song on their 2000 album, "White Pony," earned the band a Grammy Award for best metal performance.
The Deftones have been working on their sixth album for release next spring.

Wameeth of Mideast Youth reports: Just a few nights ago (on October 24), Baghdad was rocking to more than the usual roadside bombs and mortars when some 220 heavy metal music fans gathered for Baghdad's second heavy metal gig since the fall of Saddam's regime in 2003.
The enthusiastic male and female fans packed into a small, local venue for more than two hours to hear the Baghdad band BRUTAL IMPACT knock out popular covers from the heavy metal stable, such as SLAYER's "South of Heaven", DEATH's "The Philosopher" and METALLICA's "Nothing Else Matters". Lateef, the band's drummer, said that the gig was "awesome" because they managed to perform several difficult songs from some famous metal bands, for a very appreciative audience.
