Slipknot's new rock radio single, called "Psychosocial," will be played every hour on the hour this Sunday (June 29th) at Hot Topic stores all over the country, according to Blabbermouth.net. The teen-oriented music, clothing and pop culture chain of stores will play the single one day ahead of its arrival at radio stations on Monday (June 30th). "Psychosocial" is taken from the Iowa group's new album, All Hope Is Gone, which arrives in stores on August 26th.

The members of Slipknot themselves are all in their 30s and probably don't shop much at Hot Topic. But percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan told us that getting older has been a good experience for the group: "People that didn't have families have families now. People are starting to think about having families. You know, I've had a family from day one. And people are just older, wiser, more mature, and crazier. So I think we're more independent, we're more independent of how we feel, ... Read More »

Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland and drummer Eric Kretz have been sued by the band's label, Atlantic Records, according to Reuters. The suit, filed on Thursday (June 12th) in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, alleges that Weiland and Kretz have threatened to stop performing and would like to terminate their contract with the label unless it is changed. The label says in the suit that it wants the group to record a new album, and possibly two more after that, even though they've already delivered six albums on their current deal. Guitarist Dean DeLeo and bassist Robert DeLeo were released from their contract in 2003 after telling the label they wanted to pursue separate careers.

Atlantic says that the band's contract was written under New York laws, but that Weiland and Kretz are trying to use California laws to end it. The band performs on Saturday (June 14th) in Las Vegas. THIS OUTTA BE A DEC ... Read More »

U.S. District Court Judge S. James Otero on Tuesday in California ruled that recipients of promotional CDs are free to do with them as they please. The ruling came during the case of Universal Music Group vs. Troy Augusto, in which Universal filed suit against Augusto for selling advanced and “promotional use only” CDs on eBay. Universal Music Group argued that it retained licensing rights and could prohibit such resale, even though they and other labels send them out unsolicited and with no verification of receipt.
