Ryan Adams explains musical web excursions
[source: NME.com] Ryan Adams recently made a dozen thrashy songs (and a rap tune!) available on his website.
Now, a post on the site claims the songs by his metal project, Werewolph, are too scary to release.
"It's just stuff I do in my spare time, under the name The Shit," Adams said of the recent songs. "I record some punk stuff when I get bored 'cause I like to play music when I'm not busy playing music.
"My other metal project is called Werewolph, but it's too scary to release as it is so metal and scary that people actually turn to ice when I play it for them. Those few unlucky souls now haunt the offices of the NME instructed by my witchmaster.
"Anyway, The Shit (me on everything except drums, which is sometimes Brad and sometimes JT) have made five albums: 1) Is This Shit, 2) Hits The Fans, 3) General Ulysses S Hospitol, 4) HillybillyJoel (which is with The Cardinals under the name CardinalShits), and 5) slef-protrait.
"And Brad and I are working on GarageBand wars right now. I have an alternative death metal country band called Wilcoven. Its pretty sick."
Meanwhile, Adams recently appeared in an advert for GAP with Willie Nelson. The pair are collaborating on Nelson's new album, which features Adams's backing band, The Cardinals.

Radiohead start work on seventh album
[source: NME.com] Thom Yorke has confirmed Radiohead are currently recording their seventh album.
The singer revealed the news in typically bizarre fashion, during a posting about the Big Ask environmental campaign.
"We've started the record properly now. Staring to get somewhere I think," he wrote on the band's site. "If it scares you speechless and wakes you in the night, if you are bothered about the flooding you keep seeing, or those high winds, or that there is something not quite right about the fact you're still walking around in a T-shirt in October, please find out about the Big Ask campaign."
The campaign urges the government to reduce carbon emissions by three per cent each year by making it law.
"We are hassling all MPs in the UK to write to our glorious leader and get a bill that commits us all to reducing carbon emissions by three per cent a year," Yorke explained. "Its a start. It has to be law, otherwise it's never going to happen. And it has to."

Hoobastank head to Oz
Hoobastank will visit Australia early next year for the first time in almost three years.
Formed in Agoura Hills, California, a little over 12 years ago, the band's last visit Down Under saw them play a string of sold-out shows. Their upcoming album, Every Man For Himself, is the follow-up to the band's monster 2003 hit The Reason.
Hoobastank embark on a run of east coast shows in February 2007. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday October 27.

Bono appears in court
"It's our stuff, she has it, and a lot more beside. We want out stuff back. We want her to stop selling it."
That's U2 frontman Bono testifying this week against the band's former stylist, "fashion consultant" Lola Cashman, as part of an Irish High Court appeal.
In 2002, the band sued Cashman successfully after she attempted to sell clothes, photos and various items of U2 memorabilia. Cashman insists she received the "gifts" while working on the group's Joshua Tree tour back in 1987/88.
Describing her as "an eccentric pain in the neck", Bono argued in the dock that it was he who'd picked out his famous Stetson hat (worn on the cover of Rattle & Hum). Cashman says he gave the hat to her when he was backstage, "dancing in his underwear". The case continues.

Gene Simmons smells great
Kiss bassist Gene Simmons appeared at a North Carolina army base this week promoting a new line of perfumes.
Fans who picked up a bottle of Kiss Him cologne or Kiss Her perfume also received an autograph and photo with the famously long-tongued rocker, who also hopped up onstage to join the 82nd Airborne Division's rock band, Riserburn, in their cover of the band's "Shout It Out Loud".
"If people decide a Kiss fragrance line makes sense," Simmons said, "who's to argue with America?"
It's certainly not the first piece of creative marketing the band have been involved in. Earlier this year a Kiss coffee shop opened in South Carolina.
