Justin Fashanu found hanged in lock-up garage
Article Abstract:
Footballer Justin Fashanu, the first high-profile sportsman in the UK to be openly gay, has been found dead. It is believed that he hanged himself from the rafters of a garage in London, England. He had been charged with second-degree sexual assault on a 17-year-old boy in Maryland. He was regarded as a talented footballer, but felt that his openness about his homosexuality had greatly hampered his career. It is believed that the shame of the charges against him prompted him to commit suicide.

Now that's what I call garage music!
Article Abstract:
Music group Flaming Lips has found it difficult to be confined within traditional recording formats. The group has produced seven albums, but has not really gained widespread recognition. It is now trying to move away from listening to music as being a passive activity with 'Zaireeka,' a four-CD set that is designed to be played all at the same time. It hopes that this project will encourage people to regard listening to music as an event.
