Makers of a new energy drink want you to get experienced, with their new Jimi Hendrix-branded ”Liquid Experience.”
Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic ”Liquid Experience” drinks, named for Hendrix’s breakthrough album, Are You Experienced? will debut in April.
Hendrix died Sept. 18th, 1970, after asphyxiating on his own vomit. And nothing reminds some musicians more of asphyxiating on your own vomit than putting a dead guy’s name on everything from coffee mugs to baby clothes, 35 years after his death.
”To see his image and the beautiful feelings it has created during my lifetime cheapened by base advertising … is very disappointing to me,” said bassist Michael Balzary, aka Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

There may soon be no love lost between bands and the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. At least eight bands have had their equipment ripped off while on tour in the city since March.
“Don’t walk on the street at night in Detroit, and don’t park your van in Philadelphia,” said Alan Redmond, drummer for La Rocca. La Roca was the latest group to have its van and equipment stolen in the city.
Because of the larger number of thefts, many bands think that there is an organized crime wave that seeks out bands because of the value of their gear.
“They think there is this conspiracy and they’re being targeted,” said Sgt. Joe Cella of the Major Crimes Unit. “They’re not.”
He said the bands seem to be parking their vehicles in the wrong place at the wrong time. The areas where they have had their vans and equipment taken happen to be the same places where lots of other vehicles are stolen - the vast majority of which don’t contain any musical equipment, Cella said.
“What we have is groups that spring up periodically that target the hotels, the airport area, where you would have transient clientele,” he said. Continue reading ‘WTF Friday: Why Bands Hate Philadelphia’

Every Friday at Axehole, we bring the strangest story in music of the week….the one thing that really makes you wonder “WTF?”
We’ve brought you How to Microwave an iPod; a sound library that, even when it is beautiful, is disturbing; and yes, even a porn-soaked carnal exploration.
Regulars may be wondering “WTF?” because it’s Monday and we still don’t have Friday’s WTF Friday item up yet. Lucky for us, Britney Spears came to the rescue with her own porn-soaked carnal exploration.
It’s true - the Britney Spears - Kevin Federline fiasco continues, with reports that Spears made a four-hour sex tape and that K-Fed is threatening to sell it for Internet distribution unless she gives into his demands.
We won’t comment on the idea of a four-hour sex tape - that would take more stamina than we can muster…..
However, we have to wonder if it features:
A). Hot Britney:
Or
B). “I’m pregnant and I’ve boobs out to here” Britney:
K-Fed reportedly has been offered $50 million for the tape - so our money’s on A). Hot Britney.
