We all know Keith Richards is the living embodiment of drug fuelled madness but his recent admission takes the biscuit.
In a recent interview, the Stones guitarist said that he had snorted his father’s ashes. When asked what the strangest thing he’s ever snorted was, he said:
“My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow…”My dad wouldn’t have cared, he didn’t give a shit. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”
Nice.

Pig Destroyer have finished work on their new album which has been given the title Phantom Limb.
The record was recorded at Omega Studios under the supervision of guitarist and producer Scott Hull and the band have a June 12th release date scheduled. It will serve as their follow up to Terrifyer which was seen by some as one of the best albums of 2004.
The details for the new Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly album have been announced by the man himself.
Sam Duckworth, the man behind the music, has stated that the album will be called Searching For The How’s And Why’s and is set for an autumn release. He is finalising 12 to 14 demos for selection and will then enter the studio to lay down the tracks. Explaining the title and the album itself, Duckworth said:
“It addresses similar themes to The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager. It says I don’t have the answers but it’s still important to ask the questions. It might take a thousand questions to get the answers, but if we don’t at least ask the questions, it’s easy to get complacent.”
No-one messes with Snoop Dogg. That’s a fact.
And don’t even think about dissing him on your talk show either, because he’ll find out, go on Dutch television and won’t mince his words. The invite is out there O’Reilly, Snoop is going to get you!

Hieroglyphics’ MC Casual is set to team up with Maroon 5 on a new album.
After the recent spate of rock/rap collaborations, the most recent being the appearance of Fall Out Boy and The Hives on Timbaland’s new album, Maroon 5 are heading to Oakland to record with Casual. The band met the rapper at the Bonnaroo Festival last year and Casual said:
“We hit it off right away, and the next day, on a lark, I sat in with them during their sound check. I knew all of their hits because I had been listening to them on my tour bus, so I freestyled over a few of their tracks and it sounded amazing.”
The tracks penned already are below and the album is due out early this summer.
