A Los Angeles judge has ruled the family of the Notorious B.I.G. may proceed with their wrongful-death case. The suit alleges renegade LAPD officers were involved in the 1997 slaying of the rapper. In addition to Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, Gnarls Barkley have confirmed a bunch of overseas summer festival appearances, including Roskilde and Benicassim. Thom Yorke has again expressed discontent with EMI’s release of a Radiohead greatest-hits package, reportedly saying, “We haven’t really had any hits so what exactly is the purpose?” Perhaps partially due to shelling out big bucks on mega-million-dollar contracts for Madonna and Jay-Z, Live Nation announced a $35 million loss for the first quarter of 2008.
