Steven Page leaves Barenaked Ladies
Bummer. Following his high profile arrest for drug charges, founding member Steven Page has left the band to pursue a solo career. One wonders how this will affect the band and whether or not the group’s efforts to record music for children (notably their new album Snack Time) was a factor in the decision.
What do you think of these events?

Lux Interior leaves this mortal coil
Co-founder of The Cramps passed away of a heart condition. Love the Cramps or hate them, they took punk music in a more dark and humorous theatrical direction with a splash of rockabilly often referred to as Psychobilly.
Later Lux!
Goodbye Decca, Thanks
Decca records which launched several important bands and distributed many different kinds of American music in England is set to shut its doors. In an era of increasing consolidation of music, this is yet another example of pioneers ceasing to be. You have to wonder how many other labels will be swallowed up or simply disintegrate as the economy worsens…
