Britney Spears’ Capacity Called Into Question as Lawyer Defends Lack of Direct Testimony
Still, accusations that Jamie was effectively holding the singer legally hostage continued to gain traction with fans this summer after Ingham, in an Aug. 17 filing, indicated Britney no longer wanted her father to be the sole conservator of her estate and was “strongly opposed” to him being reinstated as the conservator of her person. Ingham described Britney’s conservatorship as having three phases. During the first “triage” phase, “her conservators rescued her from a collapse, exploitation by predatory individuals and financial ruin.” Next came the time when she was actively performing again and “with the aid of a personal manager, a business manager and many other individuals, BRITNEY was able to regain her position as a world-class enter...

Scientists Created a Device That Allows Monkeys to Play Sounds and Beats—Including Electronic Music
Humans aren’t the only ones able to be moved by music. Joining forces with the Animal-Computer Interaction research team at Aalto University’s Department of Computer Science, a team of Finnish scientists have developed a sound device for a group of saki monkeys at Helsinki’s Korkeasaari Zoo to use to play and listen to music. The tunnel-shaped device, which has a plywood floor and transparent acrylic roof and is able to reproduce sound, was placed in the monkeys’ habitat in the zoo. The animals were able to physically turn it on by themselves, eventually developing tastes or aversion to certain types of beats and sounds—including electronic music.

PATTY SMYTH Didn’t Leave Her House The Day She Found Out About EDDIE VAN HALEN’s Death
SCANDAL singer Patty Smyth has commented on the passing of Eddie Van Halen. The legendary VAN HALEN guitarist died on Tuesday (October 6) at the age of 65. Smyth told Radio Forrest (hear audio below): “I literally did not leave my house [on Tuesday]. I just couldn’t believe it. I just started looking through the recordings of when he came out on the road with us and played with us. And I put some of those up. I just feel so badly for his son, for his brother, for his wife, his ex-wife. It’s just really, really sad. He was awesome.” When VAN HALEN parted with frontman David Lee Roth in 1985, his eventual replacement, Sammy Hagar, was not the band’s first choice to fill Roth‘s shoes. Eddie asked Smyth to join the band first, “which is pretty amazing,...
DWEEZIL ZAPPA On EDDIE VAN HALEN: ‘For Many, He Will Always Be The King’
Dweezil Zappa has paid tribute to Eddie Van Halen, who passed away on Tuesday (October 6) at the age of 65. Earlier today (Thursday, October 8), the son of Frank Zappa took to his official web site to write, in part: “Music was changed forever when Edward Van Halen was introduced to the world and now it is forever changed by his early departure from our world. To this day, there isn’t a more original guitar intro than ‘Mean Streets’. It’s as perplexing now as it was 39 years ago when it forced all of us to ask ourselves, ‘How is he doing that?’ Which by the way, he had all of us asking the same question since the first VH album, when we all heard ‘Eruption’. Because he was such an innovator, we may never stop asking that question. ̶...
EVANESCENCE’s AMY LEE: ‘I Didn’t Start Out On This Path Because I Wanted Fame’
In a new interview with Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3, EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee was asked if there are lessons she’s learned over time, either on the creative side or on the business side, that would have been especially valuable around the time of the release of the band’s debut album, 2003’s “Fallen”. She responded (hear audio below): “Yes. Absolutely. I don’t even know how to go down that list, it’s so big. More than anything, I was really young when we started and just unsure of myself — as a person, as a musician, as anything. And to put yourself up, and things really did rocket launch for us quickly when we made that album, to be in the spotlight and to have people looking at you, talking at you, about yo...
