Let’s start with the most basic: the doctors are confident that survivors in a plane crash Travis Barker and DJ AM recover and return to normal life. Now you can, and all the rest that preceded this news.

But first, some general words. Travis Barker was famous as the drummer of pop-punk band Blink 182, but with hip-hopom his mother not only tattoos famous Mr. Cartoon. Travis - a man for a California rap brethren, but friendship and Party gradually bring him before the creation of rock remixes to known hits, and subsequently to full cooperation with the rapper (for example, track Game “Dope Boys”).

The evening of September 19, Travis served along with DJ AM, as well as ex-soloist Jane’s Addiction Perry Farrell. Immediately after the concert private Learjet 60 aircraft was to take the drummer and de-Jay in California. They were on board the 29-year-old Chris “Little Chris” Baker (assistant Barker), 25-year-old Charles Still (guard), as well as pilots Sara Lemmon and James Bland.

Ill-fated flight started close to midnight. The weather was cold and dry and the sky - clean. The plane went down on takeoff, and almost immediately the airport controllers observed the smoke. At the same time, they received a communication from the pilots: the crew heard the tires exploded chassis (fragments of rubber were found over a kilometer trehkilometrovoy runway). As evidenced by the record of negotiations found in the “black box”, the pilots tried urgently to stop the takeoff. At the time the plane had already gained a minimum speed to detach from the surface - 92 miles per hour. As a result, the plane crashed in the bank, located across 400 meters from the end of runway and caught fire.

Still Baker and died of head and neck injuries received in the fall. The pilot and navigator zadohnulis smoke, and died from burns received. The first is information on the crash stated that Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) jumped from the aircraft, which have survived. In doing so, they were severely burned the second and third degree and were sent to a specialized medical center in neighboring Georgia, the city of Augusta.

The next day, doctors reported that the victims remains precarious. We Barker burned torso, with Goldstein the hardest hit part of the hand and head.

Nevertheless, in Sunday representative burn center Dr. Fred Mallins promised that patients fully recover.

Although the term recovery can be quite long - up to one year.

On Sunday, hospital visited Jermaine Dupri, a resident of Atlanta, Georgia. He also assured the press that everything will be all right, but also said that DJ AM has its own walks and is off to a fresh frame of mind. And we hope that dlinnoshee alien creation of Iroquois, tatuirovkami and child klichkoy “Mosley” still sits in shock setup and vzharit something like “Dope Boys”.

Artist: Playaz Circle

Representing: College Park, Georgia

Mixtape: The Campaign

411: The title of Playaz Circle’s new mixtape, The Campaign, has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the entire country is talking about the upcoming presidential election.

Of course it does! Don’t be ridiculous.
“We chose that title to keep it conceptual with the election year,” Tity Boi told us, live from the group’s adopted headquarters at Riverdale, Georgia’s Frozen Palace club. “We felt like we were campaigning for the streets. This is just the first of many. It’s going down major. We brought DJ Scream on the Southside. We decided to twurk with shawty because he’s one of the hottest DJs in the street. I said, ‘Let me and Dolla do our footwork. Wrap it up. It’s about to be a Saran [wrap].’ ”

“This is the prelude to our album, Flight 360,” Dolla Boy added. ” ‘The Campaign’ itself is just a mixtape song that didn’t make the album that still needed to be fed to the public. Me and Tit did our thing on a major stage. We done been across the country. We seen different fans; we know what they want. Flight 360 is just a collection of great music of any generation from the smallest to the biggest.”

Ludacris, Lil Wayne and Jagged Edge all appear on the album. “Look What I Got” is the first single.
Joints To Check For

“D-Boys R Us” (featuring J-Hard). “The title is self-explanatory,” Tity said. “I’m a D-Boy, duffle-bag boy.” “You just gotta see the swag,” Dolla added. “Swag? What is it? How do you get it? It has to be a natural thing. It has to be inherited through birthrights. Check me out from head to toe, custom-made.”

“Boyz Iz Back.” “You might be familiar with it because it uses the same beat from [T.I.’s ‘What Up, What’s Haapnin’ ‘],” Dolla explained. “T.I. put it out, did his song to it. It’s a Drumma Boy track. Real hot. I heard it. We had it for a long time, too, though. … It shows the diversity — that each artist is able to come up with a hot song in your region.”

U.K., big up. Ya mahhhhhh-sivvvvvvvve! We had a great time in London last week. Our current favorite British heroine, Estelle, has gotten kudos for singing the mainstream hit “American Boy,” but she hasn’t forgotten where her career blew up: the mixtape scene. She promises a CD for the streets soon.

“It’s coming,” she promised. “I’ve done mixtapes forever. I’ve been in the game almost 10 years. When I started, [mixtapes] were just picking up. I feel [making them] is a good way to get to the kids who are not sold on your album and might not like the single you put out. They get to figure out whether they like you or not.”
Estelle — whose favorite DJs include Drama, Clinton Sparks and Neil Armstrong — is still not sure whose material she’ll use to craft the mixtape.

“I don’t know who I wanna put on there,” she said. “I’m having this moment of Marvin Gaye, Coldplay, Santogold and really old-school reggae. God knows what’s gonna be on there. I mean, primarily on a mixtape, you take a bunch of songs and just rip them. But I’m having a real Coldplay moment right now. I’d love to sing on a [new] Coldplay song. And I use one of the Coldplay songs in my set, ‘God Put a Smile Upon Your Face.’ ”

The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground

After all these years, Common still has a huge smile on his face when talking about his critically panned, fan-shunned Electric Circus. He says he wouldn’t change anything about that album, because it showed he couldn’t be contained to one musical format. Although he expects Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak to get a warm reception, Com nevertheless thinks that Kanye is having an Electric Circus moment: Yeezy is singing all over his new LP instead of rapping.
“I love it,” Common said of West’s upcoming project. “Let me tell you, as an artist, you wanna be free. You gotta do what you feel. You can’t just cater to the audience. You gotta say, ‘Hey, y’all, this is where I’m at.’ For him to do an album called 808s and Heartbreak, you know that’s where he is at this moment. I heard some songs, and I think it’s fresh. I think the people are ready for it.”

Common’s own album Universal Mind Control drops in November.

“Last couple of albums, I felt a little more free,” he said of the evolution in his songwriting. “I just wrote whatever comes to me. [In the past], I would overthink things. I’d be like, ‘OK, I did a song for the ladies, so I shouldn’t do that again.’ I was at a point where I was like, ‘Man, I want to make people move and enjoy the music.’ ”

Although Common’s been busy working on the next “Terminator” film and had to push back the release of his album, he doesn’t think fans will color him neglectful.

“I’m not concerned with it,” he said. “I feel I’ve established who I am as a hip-hop artist. I think people respect that people are multitasking. If you’re doing both passionately and do them well, people can respect them. I’mma do my best at that. I’mma create my music. Overall, I feel that both [my professions] sharpen each other.” …

It’s one of the worst-kept secrets, at least to those of us who are really in the know in the industry (ahem!), but Jadakiss was supposed to announce that he was joining the Roc-A-Fella family years ago, during Jay-Z’s “I Declare War” concert in New Jersey. Jada and the other two members of the LOX — Sheek Louch and Styles P — were poised to make the jump from Interscope to Roc-A-Fella/ Def Jam back then, but the paperwork wasn’t finalized in time.
“That was something Louch had set up,” Jada told us. “[Jay] was supposed to bring out the Roc chains. It didn’t happen, but Steve Stoute and Hov reached back out to me [years later], and we made it happen. Def Jam and Interscope are in the same system. It’s just a matter of passing the contract over there and them saying, ‘Don’t call this number; call this number.’ Ruff Ryders let it go down, but they still involved in the equation.”

The Black Babe Ruth’s Kiss My Ass is being cooked right now. Lil Wayne, the LOX and a few others are on the set.

“I got Ghost and Rae on there,” he said. “I’m trying to get some of that Purple Tape element on there. It’s gonna be good. [But Def Jam] ain’t even letting me mold my joint. I keep going to these dinners at Mr. Chow’s. Once I get another good week in the studio by myself, we gonna wrap that thing up. Plus, I got a few mixtapes coming. The West Coast joint, and of course I’m gonna do one for New York. Maybe another R&B joint. I’m just doing joints, baby.

“I got that M.O.P./ Statik Selektah joint,” continued the cameo king, who recently jumped on New Kids on the Block’s “Summertime.” “I did something with Juelz Santana. The new Ross album. I should be on that new Hov album, The Blueprint 3. It’s like a trickle-down effect. If we come back and do this same interview in two or three weeks, I’mma have a whole bunch of stuff to tell you. My BlackBerry, my Sidekick is filled up. My Gmail is filled. Everybody is calling. Everything is falling in line. I know how to get it hot. Hop on everything! You see me on the Slim joint, the ‘Hi Hater’ remix. I gotta catch one or two more big R&B joints, and we should be where we need to be in the next couple of months or so.”

The first official single off Kiss My Ass is “By My Side” with Ne-Yo.

“It’s for the ladies,” Jadakiss said. “We trying to make big music. We’re trying to do it big for the ladies. [The women] still gonna cop before they get their hair and nails done, so we gotta cater to them. We gonna always show love to the streets, but we gotta show the ladies we acknowledging them this year. Heavy!” …
Lupe Fiasco is determined not to be the “Superstar” on his record label, 1st & 15th. He has his third album on freeze for now while he helps to cultivate albums by his artists.

“Matthew Santos, Sarah Green — I’m actually working on putting their records together, so I won’t start working on my album until next year,” he explained recently in Los Angeles. “I gotta be CEO. It’s my company, so I got to step back, because if I start doing my stuff and their stuff, I’d be like, ‘Yo, why don’t you come do this hook? Why don’t you give me that song?’ So I’m just trying not to be selfish.”

Lu is giving all his acts hands-on training. “I actually take them out on tour with me, let them perform, let them open up for me,” he said. “Everything I do, I bring all my artists to do it. So I don’t even give them advice as much as put them in an arena where it works, where it’s real time. It’s them, and they get a chance to see it in real life, and they take from it what they need.”

Kaiser Chiefs have admitted that Sway’s contribution to their new album would never have happened if it wasn’t for Mark Ronson

The rapper came looking for the producer at the Leeds five-piece’s studio but ended up being roped in to lay down a rap for the track ‘Half The Truth’.

Drummer Nick Hodgson told BBC 6 Music: “We had a song we were working on and he came into the studio and I found out later that he came into the studio to find Mark Ronson.

“But he wasn’t there so he left disappointed. Then I got Eliot (James, producer) to ring him up and say, ‘What you doing? Come in and do something.’

“I was going do these backing vocals on the song, which were kind of shouty, a little bit like the Beastie Boys backing vocal and I said, ‘Since Sway is literally right there, why don’t we ask him to do it?’”

Kaiser Chiefs’s third album ‘Off With Their Heads’ is out on October 20.

Rock ‘n’ roll and aging are strange bedfellows. From its inception, rock ‘n’ roll was often thought of as the soundtrack to youthful rebellion and many still believe that, despite that fact that some of our greatest rock ‘n’ rollers are growing old not-so-gracefully.Add punk to the mix and you have another whole set of rules, dos and don’ts that righteous punk rockers are supposed to follow: Short, fast songs; short hair; no long solos; no selling out to the man (we mean it, man); no major labels; no rock star extravagances; no careerism; no future. All of those rules, of course, are the antithesis to what punk is all about because one of the main tenets of punk rock is that there are no rules and if any rules do exist they should be broken.

Still, when Offspring singer/guitarist Dexter Holland rolled up to the Live Sets soundstage in a limo, a few who saw his arrival raised their eyebrows. How punk is that? But if you think about it, if someone offered to pick you up in a chauffeured ride to your gig, would you say no? Ed Begley Jr. and Al Gore might worry about the environmental impact (hybrid limos, anyone?), but most would be thrilled to take a luxurious ride to their gig.

The Offspring are no longer the new punk kids on the block. It’s been 23 years since they sprang out of Garden Grove, Calif., 14 since the release of the aptly titled “Smash” — which went on to become the best selling independently released album of all-time — 12 since it jumped ship from their indie home Epitaph Records for major label Columbia, and five years since it threatened to call its seventh album “Chinese Democracy,” mocking Guns N’ Roses’ forever-in-gestation album that remains unreleased as of this writing.

The Offspring has done a fine job of sustaining life after that initial buzz disappeared. Since the onslaught of the neo-punk invasion of the mid-‘90s, the Offspring is one of the few acts to not only thrive, but continue to be a staple of modern rock radio. (Green Day, the other, has opted to go under cover twice with pseudonymously named outfits and were recently covered by none other than Glen Campbell.)

I experienced first hand just how omnipresent the Offspring is on the airwaves of a certain world famous modern rock station in the hours before and after their Live Sets taping. As I rolled up to the Fox lot for the taping I flipped on the said modern rock station and heard “Gotta Get Away.” The very next morning, up too early and headed to the gym, I flip to said station again and hear “Hammerhead,” the first single from the band’s eighth and latest album, “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.”

The band’s Live Sets song selection played out like a virtual modern-rock radio hit parade, including such staples as “Hammerhead,” “Self Esteem,” “Kids Aren’t Alright,” “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy),” “Come Out and Play,” Gotta Get Away,” and “Want You Bad.”

Before the cameras were rolling and the crowd arrived, the band – guitarist Noodles, bassist Greg K. and new drummer Pete Parada – sound-checked instrumentally without Holland. When Dexter arrived, he strapped on a guitar and the band continued in the instrumental mode, until eventually Dexter stepped up to the mic to sing. I was all rather workman-like and mundane, like something a veteran touring band has done a million times before and could do in their sleep.

Perhaps the band was a bit worn-out from the night before, when it held a not-so-secret show sponsored by a social-network site at a small Orange County nightclub that, according to one report, left at least one fan sweat-soaked and bloodied, but pleased.

With several fans from the previous night in attendance, the Offspring ratcheted up the excitement once the crowd was in the house and the cameras were rolling. Holland sang and screamed in his trademark deep-pan voice as if he was still pissed. Noodles, sporting glasses and long hair, pogo-ed and strutted around the stage like some mutant offspring of Johnny Ramone and Black Flag’s Greg Ginn, while the rhythm section of Greg K. and Parada held down a lock-step groove.

During the question-and-answer session, one fan asked about Dexter and Noodles about their big extravagances since becoming rock stars. The limo didn’t come up but Dexter, who is a licensed pilot, did admit to buying a Russian fighter jet. That, my friend, is pretty punk rock.

At the conclusion of the taping, the Offspring ripped through its biggest hit and best tune, “Self Esteem.” Since this was a TV/web taping, the band was asked to perform the song again due to a production problem. Rather than sit on their hands while the crew regrouped, Holland suggested the band play another song. Noodles jokingly riffed on the opening of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” before the band tore into “Staring at the Sun.” When the crew was ready for a second take of  “Self Esteem,” Holland quipped, “Act like you haven’t heard this yet,” but it wasn’t really necessary. The fans were as enthusiastic as ever, pumping their fists and singing along as the band performed with as much energy as they had throughout the performance.

To paraphrase the Offspring’s own twist of song title by the Who, they might not be kids any more, but they’re still alright.
