Lars Ulrich has confirmed Metallica will be releasing their new album in 2008.
In a recent interview, the drummer said that the band had completed backing tracks for their new album and are aiming to release it in February next year.
On the sound of the album he said it doesn’t sound like last album St. Anger, claiming the new record is “more dynamic, and a little more varied, and it has lots of different nutty Metallica stuff on it”.
To celebrate American Independence Day [which is today, July 4th], Q-Tip has put up Work It Out on his MySpace.
This is to be the first single taken from his upcoming album The Renaissance, which is due out later this year, and is on his page at the moment and promises to be made available to be downloaded for free when America wakes up. S’nice of him innit?
The Plastic Constellations have announced they will be bringing out a new album in early 2008.
The Minneapolis dwellers, who include Doomtree’s Lazerbeak, posted a bulletin on their myspace claiming they had missed the beautiful summer weather [send that over here lads!] by locking themselves in a “damp, humid, grey, unlit basement and hammering a smorgasboard of new jams that will comprise our upcoming full length record.”
The record is once again teaming the band up with Frenchkiss Records and the band promise to upload new songs to their myspace in the coming months. Awesome!
MF Doom‘s last release MM…Food was taken off the shelves at some point a couple of years ago due to certain irregularities, but now the metal faced villain is back with a reissued version of the album.
Not only do you get the album, which contains tracks such as Hoe Cakes, Potholderz and Vomitspit, but you also get a DVD and a limited number even have scratch n sniff packaging. Pimp the video below to see what’s coming:
That’s right, your favourite website has now pimped it’s very own myspace courtesy of our friends at www.musicprofiles.biz who can pimp yours too if you get in touch with them.
Get pimped bitches and maybe you will find some nice friends…click the image for the beast…
Not only did she piss her pants on stage, but Fergie is now choking on the biggest corporate dick this side of Crossfire HQ’s golden flying penis.
The singer, that term is obviously being used loosely, is set to make £2 million from endorsing fashion company Candie’s in her songs. The label has said this is a novel way to make money, but we at Crossfire think its just another reason why she sucks.
Heap that on top of her ruining the Black Eyed Peas and there’s enough to send her to hell and back wearing nothing more than her piss-stained flammable panties.
Now take your humps and do one.

Timbaland has announced that he doesn’t want to be in the music industry anymore.
The all-star music producer, who I often confuse for a brand of shoes, has announced that he will quit the music industry soon and name a successor to take his crown. Producing massive tracks for the likes of Nelly Furtado and squeaky-voiced Justin Timberlake, as well as releasing a solo album last year, seems to have taken its toll and bored the superproducer to death.
At least his ego hasn’t been affected, saying in an interview recently that he is throwing in the towel because “Music is boring right now. I’m too innovative for the world.” Hang on, he’s producing half the music you hear in the charts these days, isn’t he? If it’s boring, it’s your fault mate.

Qwel must be trying to win the “hardest worker in hip hop” title lately, as he’s got yet another record coming out.
The Galapagos 4 member has teamed up with Silence to bring out a limited CD called Nerdy which you can pick up for $18 if you live here in Blighty by emailing jeff@galapagos4.com. It’s going to be a very limited disc and won’t be around long so if you want it, hook it up yourself suckers!
To give you an idea of what to expect, here are 3 snippets from the album:
Nice and simple for this news story – Richie Cunning has put up a new track on his myspace which you can download.
