Horror Pops singer Patricia Day is suing Mattel over her claims that they've used her image without consent for their new Hard Rock Barbie. The Danish singer claims that they have appropriated her likeness of "long black hair, retro tattoos, red fingernails, fishnets and a decorated bass fiddle to give this doll true rockabilly style." She filed the lawsuit last week in Indiana District Court, saying that the toy company got licenses from Debbie Harry, Joan [...]

So, Halloween is finally upon us. Time for little kids to dress up, knock on doors, and make their dentists' day. Really. When I was a kid, I loved Halloween. I used to plan my costumes a month ahead, and spend night dreaming up bigger, better and more elaborate costumes. And even though Halloween is mostly for the kids, adults get to enjoy it too. This morning, I read this article about a guy who made his three year-old a custom RoboCop costume. While I'm sure the kid is gonna have a great Halloween, I know his dad [...]

by Jeff Barringer - Staff Writer & Photographer Although at times it seemed the sky might be ready to burst forth with torrents of rain, in fact they ended up providing just a colorful canvas of blues, grays, purples, reds and oranges for the very first Freak Show Festival put on by a new production company here in Austin, 3 Way Events. It was a good thing too because seeing your first major show wiped out by a weather event can make a guy think twice about having another one. [...]

[People apparently will be dressing up this weekend. I will not be one of them. Party safely. Here's a very abbreviated list of my favorite shows this weekend. For a much more comprehensive list, check out LAist's Week in Rock .] Today: Amy Millan has followed up 2006's "Honey From the Tombs" with September's new release "Masters of the Burial," the second solo outing from the female presence in the Canadian indie-pop group Stars. Again, Millan walks the fine line between country and [...]

Okay... we've been over this before , but it has never been this serious. I'm afraid this may be my final post for you all. I think some sort of zombie outbreak has happened... bigger than any before! I can peer out of my window and see them sometimes. I'm hoping that all of the time spent playing Left 4 Dead will pay off for me. Remember, keep an eye on your ammo and look for med-packs! And for Heaven's sake, don't bother [...]

Halloween is just around the corner and for many folks, it's time to start getting your costumes in order and candy bowls full. But what about those looking for something a bit more music oriented on All Hallows Day, and not in terms of Michael Jackson makeup? No worries. Thanks to some due diligence from CoS contributor Dustin Wiyrick, we got you covered... Paul Van Dyke, Moby, and The Crystal Method will be among the DJs offering cool beats at Seattle's WaMu Theater for FreakNight XII . [...]

I don't know about you but school has decided to rape me with work this year and the only thing that's keeping me from throwing myself into oncoming traffic is the pretty decent number of artists on tour this fall. So, I've decided to highlight some shows. The specific dates and locations are only useful if you live in Toronto (or are willing to travel) but chances are, if they're coming here, they're going to wherever you live - unless you live in the middle of nowhere in which case you already know Hot Chip won't be going to Windsor [...]

Woman Awakens From Surgery to Find Panty-Line Tattoo I've heard of complimentary lollipops after a check-up at the doctor's office, but tattoos during surgery? Forget it! Am I right, people? Looks like Elizabeth Mateo of, where else, New Jersey, woke up from an operation for a herniated disc to find a rose tattoo located somewhere below the waist and above the knees. Thankfully the tat was a temporary one, but still pretty weird and invasive. Needless to say, homegirl is pressin' charges. The surgeon who applied the tattoo claims he did it to lift [...]

Damn. So the HorrorPops were in town last night. I thought it was tonight, and so I missed the show. I did the same thing with Les Claypool when he came through last time. I really need to pay more attention. Anyway, since I missed the show I've been listening to a lot of the HorrorPops discography. I was first introduced to the band by some late night "On Demand" searching on my television years ago, checking out music videos. I was intrigued by the band's video for "Miss Take" and later [...]
