The great Howard Stern is launching his first-ever free Internet broadcast.

His awesome-beyond-all-imagination four-hour-plus program will be made available live online at no charge for two days, October 25 and 26, in an effort to promote Internet radio service Sirius. On other words, the normal monthly subscription fee of $12.95 is being waived for these two days of free joy.

This is the first time that Stern has been available to a nonpaying audience since he left terrestrial FM radio in December 2005.? The service can be accessed by logging on to the Sirius website.

What's really amazing though, is that despite the fact that Stern has the biggest satellite audience of anyone ever, and has completely obliterated the projected numbers by millions, many in the media are still downplaying his success in this new market.

Well, rockers, it's the end of an era.

Last night, CBGB's held its final concert and closed its doors. The final night of the influential punk club was rocked by Patti Smith with surprise guest Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea on bass. She played a blistering set, highlighted by a poem saluting the CB's musicians that have passed away over the years, covers of the Who's "My Generation" and the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter," and a medley of Ramones songs. It was also Flea's birthday, so the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Talking Heads Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth were there, plus E Street Band guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt.

Guitarist-turned-TV star Dave Navarro will host the Halloween Lingerie and Costume Ball on Saturday, October 28 at the Highlands in Hollywood, California. Also scheduled to appear are porn stars Jesse Capelli (right) and Teanna Kai.

Navarro currently plays in The Panic Channel, whose debut album, (ONe) is out now. The Panic Channel will support the reality-TV group Rock Star Supernova on their North American tour in January/February 2007. This tour being, of course, potentially the lamest tour in the history of mankind...

Blabbermouth: Dave Navarro to Host 'Halloween Lingerie And Costume Ball'

If you'll recall, a few months back we ran a story about how there were two versions of ?80s hair metal band L.A. Guns out there, the one featuring founding guitarist Tracii Guns and original singer Paul Black (who quit the band BEFORE they ever made an album), and the one with singer Phil Lewis (who replaced Black and sang on their most popular albums).

Well, the story got weirder when Guns, Black and Lewis all shared the stage at the Key Club last night here in Hollywood. Yes, Tracii's version of the band performed at the 20-year anniversary party for Cathouse, the rock ?n' roll club run by one-time MTV VJ Riki Rachtman and Faster Pussycat frontman Tamie Down, that ruled the Sunset Strip back in the day.

Angry rapper DMX is up on misdemeanor traffic charges after the fuzz stopped him Monday, Oct. 9, in New York and impounded his vehicle for driving infractions.

It seems the D was driving his 2001 Chevy Suburban on the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers, New York when he got pulled over for a DWD (Driving While DMX). The cops ran a computer check and discovered that, lo and behold, ol' Earl Simmons wasn't licensed to drive in the state of New York! Plus, his registration was suspended.

Doh!

On Saturday I went to Tower Records and noticed all sorts of big yellow signs with things like "No Checks," "Cash & Credit Card Only" and "Big Sale Coming Soon" on them. I wondered, "What the heck is going on?" (Because even in my head, I don't curse. I like to keep it clean.)

Then I read this in The Hollywood Reporter:

"Tower Records is having a going-out-of-business sale. The legendary music chain's assets were sold at a bankruptcy auction on Friday to the liquidation firm Great American Group, which bid $134.3 million for what was once the most dominant music retailer in the country."

WTF?

U2 is teaming up with Dublin, Ireland's Docklands Development Authority to create a 450?ft. U2 Tower.

The tower will be the tallest structure in the city, and comprised of two-bedroom apartments expected to nab upwards of $3 million apiece. At the top of the twisting structure will be a penthouse and recording studio for the band, with their own special elevator from the ground floor to their studio. This way, the band can record while looking out over the sea and city. Isn't that sweet?

If my band made our own tower, we'd have the penthouse be a incinerator room to burn all the bodies and evidence.

Oh Jesus, I've said too much...
