Rhapsody has announced their music streaming service is now available in Germany and the UK via their Napster deal. A few months ago it was announced that Rhapsody acquired Napster, but that was for the US assets, thus they needed to signed a deal with the remaining Napster service in Europe.

Spotify is yet to launch in Germany to compete with Napster and Simfy, but this is expected to change very soon!

Police say that the tour bus of pop singer Pink caught fire on its way from Munich to Berlin. Bavarian police say a particle filter in the exhaust system caught fire at about 5 a.m. Monday (June 7) due to a technical defect.

They say the driver reacted quickly and got the bus to the side of the highway and put the fire out with an extinguisher before authorities arrived at the scene. Police say eight musicians were aboard but Pink herself was not. Boring! Would have given Pink some good material for her next album!

Rammstien’s new album, more accurately the front cover, ‘Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da’ (Love is for everyone) has been deemed as “harmful” to young people and can no longer appear on public display in most shops across Germany.

According to German officials, the artwork offends act 18 of their youth protection act. The Office for the Examination of Media Harmful in Germany put pen to paper this week and the law came into effect on Wednesday 11th November (yesterday).

On top of this, Rammstein will not be allowed to perform song ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’ (‘I Want to Hurt You’) live in Germany anywhere until the ban is lifted.

The album cover sees the band preparing a young woman (along with some vegetables!) for what looks like human stew, insinuating cannibalism. Or sacrifice in some opinions.

Some of the new tracks are available for free listening at Last.fm
