Recently Felix released his newest album, He Was King, on Nettwork Records. The track below "We All Wanna Be Prince" is from the release.

An Article of Interest.....

Thomas Davies has done a superb job on this article. The article discusses the feel of the recent gathering at the Capitol in protest to the US government "clamp down electronica music and its club scene." The issue? The RAVE Act. I encourage you to read it.....what are your thoughts?

Guilty!

Boy George was found guilty of falsely imprisoning a man in his London apartment and likely faces time behind bars.

Audun Carlsen, a 29-year-old male escort from Norway said he went to George's home to be photographed last winter when the singer attacked him and chained him to a wall in his bedroom last April.

Boy George denied the allegations and accused the escort of stealing photographs from his laptop. He declined to testify on his own behalf during the trial though recordings from an interview with police was played.

Carlsen claimed that the story about missing photographs was untrue and that the former 80's pop-star/turned dj was angry with him for not having sex and therefore was chained.

George, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was told by Judge David Radford, "The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence." The judge also noted that jailtime is "likely".

He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 16.

Boy George Admits It.....

Boy George, former Culture Club lead singer, was arrested last year on charges of "false imprisonment" of male escort Audun Carlsen.

On trial this week in London the singer ( in a police recorded statement) said that he restrained a male escort with handcuffs. He denies that he tried to assault Mr. Carlsen or that he swung a chain at him.


The singer - real name George O'Dowd - told police that he feared the escort had been tampering with his laptop and thus, he had handcuffed Mr. Carlsen while he investigated.

The singer also said in the interview that killing the escort "wouldn't have done my career any good".

The trial continues.............

In other trial news....the escort sold his story of the ordeal to a Norwegian Magazine.
