This Week in Music News

Chop Suey: The rumors are true—the Capitol Hill venue has officially been sold to a real estate developer. Booking agent Colin Johnson tells me that the owner plans to leave the club intact. Meanwhile, Chop Suey’s former owner, Chris Dasef, finalized his purchase of the Comet yesterday. Look for more details on Line Out tomorrow and in Rocka Rolla next week.

In other news…

Metallica: Looking to corner the new parent market.

James Brown: Looking to collect what he is owed.

MTV Video Awards: Looking exceptionally lame this year.

The Hold Steady: Looking forward to releasing a new album and heading our way on October 21st.

So-called “Bump ‘n Grind Barbies”: Looking lucrative. How depressing.

Thom Yorke: Looking to start a shitstorm by calling for Tony Blair’s resignation on Radiohead’s blog (and later deleting the post). At least he knows who Tony Blair is, unlike a certain deplorable “dance music star.”
