Gypsum Strings

Year: 2006
Tracks: 9

When Oneida's Pat Sullivan left the band in 2001, he wanted to try out something a small more country. He formed Crazee & Heaven, simply it was a short stint. Sullivan wasn't defeated, however; he gathered some of his Crazee & Heaven bandmates -- drummer Will Dyar, bassist Jesse Barnes, and fiddle player Claudia Mogel -- to frame Oakley Hall. Podunks songwriter Steve Tesh, banjo histrion Fred Wallace, vocalizer Leah Blessoff, and guitarist Ed Kurz completed the batting order by 2002. A class subsequently, with a smattering of East Coast tours and a self-released EP under their belt, Oakley Hall issued their self-titled full-length for Bulb. Kurz besides left the band and was replaced by Ted Southern. Around this fourth dimension, Sullivan endured a irritating wound to his right hand spell working on a building site, simply thankfully, he just lost one finger, non his ability to play. Dyar, Tesh, and Southern finally exited Oakley Hall by 2003, with Blessof following in 2004. With a new batting order consisting of Sullivan, Greg Anderson (drums), Wallace immediately on electric guitar, Mogel, and vocalizer Rachel Cox (the Podunks, the Ospreys), Oakley Hall began crafting a tighter, galvanizing countrified sound. The conclusion resultant was deuce records: Irregular Guessing was released on Amish in early 2006; Gypsum Strings arrived that June. The following year, later touring with Bright Eyes and sign language to Merge, the band issued their fourth full-length, I'll Follow You, short subsequently which drummer Anderson left to focus on former projects and was replaced by Pat Wood.

T.I. -- Who Says He's 'Still Got It' -- Plays 90 Minutes Of Hits At Washington, D.C., Concert

Since leaving house arrest earlier this year, T.I.'s public appearances have been at a premium. He's traveled all across the country talking to children as part of his community service duties, as well as promoting his upcoming LP, Paper Trail, which is due August 12.

But Friday night in Washington, D.C., was the first time the MC has gotten onstage and performed since his arrest on gun charges in October of last year. Tip rolled out 24 songs from his catalog and rocked the enthusiastic crowd at the Chocolate City's popular nightspot Love for 90 minutes, well into the early hours of Saturday morning.

With DJ Drama playing the records and his Grand Hustle family there to help spur him on, Tip started with "Help Is Coming," "Top Back" and "Rubber Band Man." He followed that with a three-point shot for the ladies, with "Let's Get Away," "Freak Through" and "Why You Wanna."

"He still got it," Tip said with a smile, referring to himself. "I can go all night with all the hits I got."

He performed one song, "No Matter What," from Paper Trail (he talked with MTV News about the album on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards last week; he also recently signed a three-picture deal with Screen Gems), and reprised his recent appearances on remixes from Usher ("Love in This Club") and Lupe Fiasco ("Superstar"). He also paid tribute to the late Pimp C on the UGK-featured "Front Back" and to Tupac Shakur on "My Life."

Later in the set, he also delivered a promise to the crowd. "As long as I got a ounce of breath left in my body, I'mma be right here doing what I do," he said, before finishing off the set with "Big Sh-- Poppin' " and "What You Know."

Singer J. Holiday, former BET host Big Tigger, Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin and the Washington Redskins' Clinton Portis were among the celebrities in attendance.

Paris Hilton - Hilton To Start Family In 2009

Socialite PARIS HILTON is so broody, she's set herself a baby deadline - she wants to start a family with boyfriend BENJI MADDEN in 2009.

The hotel heiress has been dating the Good Charlotte rocker for three months, but already has marriage and babies on her mind.

And although she insists she is not currently pregnant, Hilton admits she hopes to be with child in 12 months' time.

She tells Britain's Heat magazine, "I do want a baby. Pretty soon. Not yet because I'm so busy, but next year."

Hilton's close friend and Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie gave birth to her first child - with Benji's twin brother Joel Madden - in January (08).

Amy Winehouse - Winehouse Apologises For Racist Chant

Troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE has apologised for singing racist lyrics in a homemade video after details of the footage was published by a British tabloid newspaper.

The video - obtained by Britain's News Of The World newspaper - is believed to have been filmed by Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil before their nuptials last year (07).

In the footage, the Back To Black star is shown singing, "Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!", while Fielder-Civil tells her and a pal, known only as Sarah, that they aren't being filmed.

The star is also allegedly shown smoking what appears to be drugs through a pipe.

And now, Winehouse has told paparazzi photographers waiting outside her London home on Sunday (08Jun08) that she is sorry for the video blunder and any offense it may have caused, according to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

It isn't the first time Winehouse has been caught in a compromising position on film; earlier this year (08) the star was filmed allegedly taking a cocktail of illegal drugs and was even filmed in a bizarre video with British rocker Pete Doherty talking to a baby mouse.
