Ozzy releases family album,
Pink promotes pill-popping
Aloha, bummer Lovers!
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

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.

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!

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.
