The Money Shot: Tossing Peas With BYOP, Banning Kate Moss and Why SXSW Doesn't Want You To Party...

The latest news...

Heavy Meddle: Music Festival Limits the Party (WSJ)
MS: Music fans have long been conditioned to cringe at such corporate displays and admire the free-spirited folks who organize music festivals. But at the 22-year-old SXSW, as this event is known, the tables have turned. The festival folks, not Big Business, are looking like the heavies. The reason: Parties like the one Wednesday night aren't sanctioned by SXSW, which has increasingly gone to great lengths to discourage or shut them down. They're calling in complaints to fire marshals and taking party promoters to court.


Kills frontman bans Kate Moss on stage (Music-News.com)
MS: "Alison has told Kate to keep her boundaries and keep away from the microphone. Alison and Jamie have worked for years to make a name for themselves and have only recently had the success she thinks they deserve. She sees Kate as a spanner in the works and, until she came along, Alison always came first with Jamie."


Be Your Own Pet spark mass food fight in London (NME)
MS: Do you want to have to throw away your underwear because it's stained with peas and ketchup? Do you want to wash spaghetti o's out of your hair for a week? No, you don’t. Be thankful this was tame.
