After an extended hiatus gallivanting across my country ‘tis of thee, Mr. Lang has been invited back to the melodic stomping grounds he in habited during summer 2001. Enough with the pleasantries, dear readers, and onto the bold faced name-dropping music news. Oh, so much to report. Rob Zombie has expanded his roster for the July 9 tribute album for the Ramones. U2, Tom Waits, Metallica, Garbage and The Pre tenders have all been added to “We’re a Happy Family,” joining already-signed players including Eddie Vedder, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Marilyn Manson. Zombie, who has already put his feather touch on “Blitzkrieg Bop,” announced that U2 will cover “Beat on the Brat”; Waits, New & Used Vinyls CDs & Tapes 258 E. 13th Eugene 342-7975 The Be-In Jeremy Lang “Jackie and Judy”; Metallica, “We’re a Happy Family”; the Pretenders, “Something to Be lieve In”; and Garbage will engi neer “I Just Want to Have Some thing to Do.” Rock fans should start saving their pennies now. On the same day, an album of Pixies demos from March 1987 will be re leased. Half of the demo is off the fabled “Purple Tape,” with the other half tracks that mor phed into their debut, “Come On Pilgrim.” The set list includes early versions of “Here Comes Your Man,” “Subbacultcha” and “Broken Face.” Said former frontman Frank Black, who grabbed his Catholics and played WOW Hall on Monday, about the demo al bum: “We knew it might just be a demo if no one was interested in it. It was all still fun. It wasn’t like I had my mortgage riding on the line at age 20 or whatever. I was still running away from my phone bills and school bills. Money was the least of my con cerns. It was pure art.” Item? Gwyneth Paltrow has been named the gatekeeper of fashion. Kirsten Dunst has the world on a platter as the heroine with the hair color to match Spidey’s tights. But who is the It Girl in Tinseltown right now? Ozzy Osbourne, who plays “Ozzy,” on the MTV hit show “The Osbournes.” He and his nu clear bomb family can add to their resume the coveted honor of knocking professional wrestling from cable TV’s top spot. So what now? Market, mar ket, market. Two more seasons of the show, a book about the fami ly and an Ozzy auto-bio are ready to hit. In the meantime, “The Osbourne Family Album” show soundtrack hits stores June 11, and it’s set to be a regular neighborhood block party. For mer neighbor Pat Boone, whose coupling with the Osbournes first turned the music world onto the family dynamic, turns in a cover of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train.” Ozzy adds his own version along with “Dreamer” and “Mama, I’m coming home.” Kelly Osbourne croons a cover of Madonna’s “Papa Don’t Preach.” Head bangers John Lennon, Eric Clap ton, The Kinks and The Cars also appear. The Ozzy “Overexposure 2002 tour” will hit Buckingham Palace for the Party at the Palace Pop Concert. Queen Elizabeth and other royals will attend the June 3 show. The event is part of a four day Mardi Gras to celebrate QE’s 50 years on the throne. Ricky Martin, Elton John, Paul McCart ney, Clapton and Tom Jones will also play for about 12,000 special ly invited Brits. Staying across the pond, Lon Pulse brief Creative Writing Program wraps up reading series Charles Johnson, winner of the National Book Award for his 1990 novel “Middle Passage,” will read from his work today as the final installment of Oregon Creative Writing Program’s 2001-02 read ing series. don techies have cracked Sony Music’s elaborate technology to prevent CD burning. Web news groups have been chatting up the discovery that a person can scrib ble around the rim of a disc with a 99-cent felt-tip marker. Simple solution. Three days after announcing their resignations, Napster chief Konrad Hilbers and poster-boy Shawn Fanning have both re joined the company, following an $8 million bail-out by Bertels mann Entertainment Group. The deal saves the college survival tool from bankruptcy, which prompted the departure of the two executives. BEG owns Arista and J Records, where the likes of San tana and Alicia Keys are inmates. Napster probably wasn’t the cause, but Eminem announced his “The Eminem Show” will be re leased Tuesday because everybody already has a bootleg. Interscope kept the record under tight lock and key, but the album is widely available on the Web, and bootlegs are on the streets at $5 a pop. Speaking of pop, Pink has opened her big mouth again, and Mr. Lang couldn’t be yawning more. But in case you, dear read ers, don’t see the humor in an over-produced bleached-blonde female songstress berating the fake qualities of over-produced bleached-blonde female songstress Britney Spears, listen to this: Pink loves Ecstasy. She even recommended President Bush drop a little X. She previous ly suggested XTC be handed out in school lunchrooms. Separated-at-music-birth sister Spears is shooting back at Brit tab The News of the World, which wrote this week about how much she supposedly misses former beau Justin Timberlake, and how the break-up sent her glossy lips to the liquor bottle. A flak for Jive Records said Spears hasn’t done any British interviews recently. Britney plays Portland on May 30 with Nikka Costa. Pink plays Port land on June 22 with Candy Ass. In “Record Labels Just Can’t Catch A Break” news, the parents of Aaliyah filed a lawsuit against Virgin Records and others Mon day. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Aaliyah’s parents, Diane and Michael Haughton, in Los Ange les Superior Court, contends that the overloaded plane was the wrong one for the charter flight to Florida and that the pilot was un qualified to fly it. And finally, a little local news: Portland’s own The Dandy Warhols will come out of hiding to play a Crystal Ballroom show June 13. Dustin “I’m not related to a Beastie Boy” Diamond will team with Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine for an Agate Hall show Friday. Just a couple of many worthy shows coming up. Go see a show! E-mail managing editor Jeremy Lang at jeremylang@dailyemerald.com. His opinions do not necessarily represent those of the Emerald. Johnson will read at 8 p.m. in the Knight Library browsing room. He will also sign copies of his books. Johnson is the author of five works of fiction, including the novel “Dreamer,” which imagines the final two years of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life. He also wrote “Soulcatcher: And Other Stories,” a collection of 12 stories. — John Liebhardt
