Limp Bizkit To Play Libraries Across US

Fred Durst: "Fred Durst is looking forward to touring"

Nu-Metal guitar-botherers Limp Bizkit have revealed that they are considering playing concerts at a series of libraries across the States later this year.

The inspiration behind the plans appears to be cuddly soft-rockers KoRn, who last June beamed live performances into cinemas across the US, ruining several screenings of Minority Report. Ingeniously, these satellite relays effectively allowed the group to work from home without having to commute, change out of their pyjamas or even get out of bed - saving both time and money. Although this experiment into alternative forms of live performances was on the whole a success, KoRn frontman and former YouR SinclaiR reviewer Jonathan Davies' attempts at stage-diving into the crowd met with some level of failure.

Sources close to the Bizkit reveal that the group are keen to trial new experiences in a bid to revive the flagging US live music scene. Rumours are already being rumoured by rumourmongers that if the library tour meets with a favourable reaction then the band will take to the skies in a hot air balloon on an epic eighty-day Nu-Metal journey around the world. Whilst frontman Fred Durst has yet to confirm any of the speculation about future tours, he has proved enthusiastic and enigmatic about Limp Bizkit's live performances:

"Fred Durst is really looking forward to touring in book-filled places that may or may not be libraries!" shouted Durst at NoiseMonkey, "He is also looking forward to playing around the world using a means of transport that may or may not utilise hot air! Fred Durst likes balloons!"

To date, no UK bands are planning similar projects, although Sheffield's the Pulp are planning to follow up their recent woodland gigs by touring a series of window boxes around the country sometime before the ever-so cold winter months draw in.

 
   
 
 

Hello and welcome to NoiseMonkey!

If you're new to this website, here's a quick guide to how it works - On this page are manufactured music news stories. The light rays reflected off these words and pictures reaches your cornea, and is refracted through the pupil, with 'fine-tuning' provided by the lens. The focused light hits the retina which then sends electrical signals to your brain, which in turn processes this information.

It really is as simple as that. Enjoy!

The Flaming Lips
Do You Realize??

Probably the loveliest single about death to be released this month (though NoiseMonkey still hasn't heard that new one by Darius, so could be wrong). Bonus points for some nice use of question marks, too.

Coldplay
In My Place

If Coldplay were trapped on a desert island for two years with no other albums except Parachutes by Coldplay and then made a record, it would sound less like Coldplay than this. And they'd have better tans.

 
 
  
 

Shock As Kylie Fails To Win Big Brother

Clear favourite beaten by outside bet

Gobs across Britain were well and truly smacked last week when diminutive pop princess Kylie Minogue failed to win Big Brother - despite being odds-on favourite since day one of the programme.

The popular Channel Four reality TV show, hosted by Davina McCall (loosely based on George Orwell's futuristic tale of a popular Channel Four reality TV show, hosted by Davina McCall) had seen a massive quantity of bets being placed on each of the weekly evictions throughout the third series, rising to an estimated value of nearly five pounds for the final evening's vote.

Despite not featuring in the original line-up of twelve housemates chosen to enter the house, Minogue instantly became the bookies' favourite to win at odds of 2/1, with sister Danni being placed at 3/1 to face eviction in the first week. Support remained strong for the performer, as fans of the show waited eagerly for her to enter the house. These high hopes were cruelly dashed when Minogue failed to appear and 22-year-old IT consultant Kate Lawler won the contest, despite never releasing a single catchy pop record.

"It was a complete surprise to everyone, as so far this has really been Kylie's year," explained bookie and part-time dentist Cheddar McFlurry, "She seemed like the perfect choice for a Big Brother winner - friendly, fun, entertaining and never too bitchy. She's never let being in the public eye turn her into a bit of a loony, and that for me is what makes a Big Brother champion."

Jason Donovan was unavailable for comment.

 
   
 
  
 

Police Given Licence To Check Primal Scream Lyrics

Officers able to use force, Tippex

The Government this week approved an Act allowing police to spy on the lyric books of Primal Scream. Whilst frontman Bobby Gillespie cannot be legally charged for his controversial song lyrics, officers will now have the right to break into his home and tone down potentially inflammatory lines with the aid of Tippex or other popular brands of correcting fluid.

Supporters of the Act argue that the move will help to prevent the Scream writing songs about politics, drugs or foreign policy, and enable them to concentrate their efforts on singing about things that the public want to hear about, such as lovely girls, football, and the importance of a balanced diet.

Whilst previous Primal Scream tracks have famously proven strangely prophetic, political experts believe it to be ridiculous to suggest that Gillespie is somehow channelling visions of the future. However, a government spokesman refused to comment on a recently confiscated Primal Scream track entitled 'And Tonight's Lottery Numbers Are'.

Human rights group Liberty X have condemned the Act, claiming that it is an infringement on Gillespie's freedom to waffle on about whatever he likes on record. The organisation warns that this may be a first step towards a radical and dangerous censorship of both musicians and the music press. They went on to claim that Tony Blair was a big REALLY NICE PERSON, that the government had really DONE A TERRIFIC JOB and that PEOPLE SHOULD NOT QUESTION WHAT IS GOING ON.
