- KISS has announced Kissology Vol. 3 — nearly ten hours of the band’s live performances from 1992-2000 on four DVDs (some sets include a bonus fifth), including their MTV Unplugged in 1995 and a show at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium in 1998. The set, due in stores December 18th, also features the 1973 Queens, New York gig that marked KISS’ first concert filmed in makeup.
- Foxy Brown has pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from an August BlackBerry-throwing incident. Brown is currently serving a year in jail due to probation violation. Last Friday the MC refused to travel to the hearing on a prison bus, leading prosecutors to threaten to place her on a bus in handcuffs for the rescheduled date.
- CBGB and MVD Entertainment have partnered to release a series of CDs commemorating legendary performances at the defunct NYC venue. The first set will include shows by Mooney Suzuki and the Queers, with another disc expected before the end of the year.
- Elliott Smith’s girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba, will no longer receive payments from Smith’s estate because she “acted as an unlicensed talent agent” when serving as Smith’s manager. If Chiba appeals, the case could be reviewed by California’s Supreme Court.
- My Morning Jacket, the Roots, J Mascis and more will play a show together on November 8th for “I’m Not There: In Concert a Celebration of Todd Haynes’ Film” at New York’s Beacon Theatre. The lineup also includes Calexico and Cat Power.
