From iPhone symphonies to telescope concerts, Oklahoma art-rock band The Flaming Lips is getting weirder as it gets older. "There are no rules anymore," said Lips front man and enthusiastic imagineer Wayne Coyne, who celebrated his 50th birthday in January, by phone to Wired.com. "There's always this dread as groups get old and set in their [...] Filed under: Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop News, Soul/R&B, R&B News Getty Images for Reality Rocks New dad Nick Cannon has taken on a lot of roles in his life but being a new father is his biggest and most exciting job yet. The actor-comedian stopped by 'Lopez Tonight' Wednesday (May 11) to talk about his life as a new father and to reveal that being in the delivery room was a little too much for him to handle. "I almost passed out three times," he said. "I needed my own nurse." Cannon was so frazzled once his wife, Mariah Carey, went into labor that he got lost in the hospital, and joked that he "ended up in the psych ward." Now that he's settling into his job as a doting dad, the 30-year-old admitted to still feeling nervous about this new time in his life. "It's feeling good," he said. "I'm still a little nervous. It's cool to look down and see children with your eyes, looking back at you." share: digg facebook twitter The Health and Human Services inspector general says that in 2007, more than 300,000 nursing home residents got powerful drugs meant for treating serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. While the Montreal music scene was attracting Canada's most bloodthirsty media frenzy this side of the seal hunt, big anglophone brother Toronto was steadily churning out quality bands with typically undemonstrative productivity.

Elizabeth Nolan Brown inspects a Psychology Today blog post by Ogi Ogas (no joke!) arguing that "gender equality inhibits arousal" and finds one nugget of pertinent scientific information, on the neurology of dominance and submission, prefaced by a bunch of blustering armchair gender psych speculation. (MedPage Today) -- For military personnel, having at least one psychiatric disorder before deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan appears to increase the likelihood of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after deployment, the prospective Millennium Cohort Study showed. Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News, Exclusive myspace.com/thefreshonlys When the Fresh and Onlys took the stage at Austin Psych Fest Saturday (April 30), they were playing with one man down -- guitarist Wymond Miles had to sit out the last few dates of the San Francisco foursome's now-completed U.S. tour. "He got some bad news from back home," frontman Tim Cohen explained to Spinner. "It changed things quite a bit." The band still sounded clean and focused as a trio, though Miles' more earnest stage presence (compared to Cohen's mystic, eyes-to-the-sky approach) was clearly missed. After a few songs, Crocodiles keyboardist Robin Eisenberg pitched in, adding vocals and more texture. Then came Crocodiles guitarist Charles Rowell, making for a downright epic, five-piece Fresh and Onlys line- up, highlighting its poppier, more wall-of-sound side. Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News Alexandra Valenti What unites musicians as disparate (and multi-generational) as Roky Erickson, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, A Place to Bury Strangers, White Hills, Crocodiles and the Fresh and Onlys? For the next three days, at least, they're all psychedelic bands -- because they're on the bill of Austin Psych Fest 4, the festival put on by locals the Black Angels and their "Reverberation Appreciation Society." "We have our interpretation of what we think psychedelic is, but it wouldn't be the word 'psychedelic' if it didn't mean everything," says Black Angels frontman Alex Maas. "The word encompasses so many different styles. Fourteen elderly women playing the banjo in yellow polka dot bikinis is psychedelic. "[At the first three festivals] we had generally focused on vintage-sounding psychedelic bands so the idea was to branch out and expand what the festival was about. It's ridiculous we got all these bands." Austin Chronicle: > Cold Sun is an anomaly in Texas psych history. As significant as Bubble Puppy or Moving Sidewalks but in no way similar, the Austin quartet cut one cult classic in its brief existence, the spell-binding Dark Shadows, which Jello Biafra called "the best psychedelic album I know of." Yet, Cold Sun's real impact came in its second life as the Aliens… Read and comment. From austinchronicle.com.

The latest project to come from Austin's epic meeting of the minds is a proposed collaboration between the Black Angels and Dum Dum Girls. "[Dum Dum Girls' producer] Richard Gottehrer wants us to do some collaboration work with the Dum Dum Girls," Black Angels band leader Alex Maas tells Spinner. "Basically, he introduced me to [frontwoman] Dee Dee over SXSW. He was like, 'Oh, you guys should do a song together,' and so we might have a couple songs or a Black Angels/Dum Dum Girls split. We haven't even figured out if it'll be a cover or what, but we're picturing something sort of Shangri-Las-like." by BBG Winter at Union Pool (more by Greg Cristman) As if you didn't have enough reason to see Sleep when they come through NYC and hit Terminal 5 on June 22, here goes another one.

Presumably, **The Keys** felt it either necessary or commendable to attempt to expand upon their basic throwback format in the manners in which they misguidedly attempt to do over the course of _Bitten By Wolves_. New research finds that unintentional overdose deaths from prescription medications have reached epidemic proportions. In 2007, prescription opioid pain killers were involved in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. In fact, in 20 states, the number of unintentional drug poisoning deaths exceeded both motor vehicle crashes or suicides. Psych Central reports: _"According to the researchers, approximately 27,500 people died from unintentional drug overdoses in 2007, driven to a large extent by prescription opioid overdoses ... Opioids are synthetic versions of opium that are used to treat moderate and severe pain."_ Neurologically, your mind and body are always in one of two emotional states – either love or fear. Empathy, joy, and gratitude are examples of core emotional states of love. Hurt, disappointment, and shame, on the other hand, are examples of core emotional states of fear. These core emotions alter the physiological state of your body and mind. Your brain is always in one of two modes, either "learning" or "protective" mode, which are associated with the states of love and fear. It is possible to consciously put yourself in one of these two modes. According to Psych Central: _"The emotion of fear, survival fears in particular, can have a paralyzing effect on the brain ... scaring you into protecting yourself in situations where it is not necessary to do so! ... Your thoughts are a powerful energy that can, and do, completely shape your responses, even as they change the state of your mind and body to what you believe and hold in your conscious awareness ... Positive emotions energize your brain to perform optimally for you."_ > A Bronx teen sought refuge at a facility designed to help patients like her - vulnerable teens battling emotional issues. > > But once inside Metropolitan Hospital's child psychiatric ward, the 15-year- old girl was forcibly sodomized by another patient - an 11-year-old Inside Man Spike, seen at MSG and at NBA arena's around the country (sometimes in Canada).
