News Ticker: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kiss, Brian Epstein, Patrick Stump

Photo: Gentner/Getty Yeah Yeah Yeahs have quietly replaced Beastie Boys at Austin City Limits, an eagle-eyed Stereogum reader noted. Karen O and Co. also replaced the Beasties (who nixed festival dates due to Adam Yauch’s cancer treatment) at Lollapalooza; Tenacious D will fill in at Outside Lands. Canadian Kiss fans in Oshawa, Ontario, won an online contest guaranteeing them a gig on the band’s fall tour and were shocked to see their city missing from the itinerary announced earlier this week.

Readers’ Rock List: If U See Kay Songs (Explicit Titles)

Photo: Michael Ochs Archive/ Getty Last week, inspired by Britney Spears’ controversial “If U Seek Amy,” we asked our readers to tell us their favorite songs that didn’t dance around with clever wordplay and just dropped cuss words in the song title. We counted the votes, and N.W.A’s ode to the LAPD, “Fuck Tha Police,” was the shit, beating out expletive-laden tracks by Nine Inch Nails, the Replacements and Neil Young. To see the entire list of songs that wouldn’t be played on the radio, check below. 1. N.W.A - “Fuck Tha Police” 2. Nine Inch Nails - “Starfuckers, Inc.” 3. Prince - “Sexy M.F.” 4. Wu-Tang Clan - “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit” 5. Liz Phair - “Fuck and Run” 6. Marilyn Manson - “This Is The New Shit” 7. Tenacious D - “Fuck Her Gently” 8. The Replacements - “Fuck School” 9. The Rolling Stones - “Bitch” 10. Warren Zevon - “My Shit’s Fucked Up” 11. Beastie Boys - “Hey Fuck You” 12. Elton John - “The Bitch is Back” 13.

NBA Star Ron Artest Preps DJ Drama Mixtape, Samples Coldplay

Photo: Shamus/Getty Houston Rockets basketball player, brawl catalyst and part-time rapper Ron Artest will showcase his ability to shoot rhymes on a new mixtape. Artest is backed by notable mixtape mastermind DJ Drama, automatically elevating Artest’s cred. Artest brings his tenacious on-court personality off the court, criticizing rappers like 50 Cent and Nas and saying “Hip hop has been heavily watered down and knocked off course by the big money makers. There are many artists who are scared to make music for themselves and they cater to the boss with grey hair or light skin who never ever been caught in a cross fire, or been racially profiled, or cut in the face, or been face to face with multiple crack heads.” The cager also samples Coldplay’s Viva La Vida cut “Lost!” on a track with the same name.

Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

Rolling Stone was all over VH1’s Rock Honors, where Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Tenacious D and Incubus pay tribute to the Who. We also talked to Eddie Vedder about the Who’s impact and rocked the red carpet. Guitar Hero and Rock Band slugged it out for your attention. After Rock Band 2 fired the first salvo by grabbing a new Guns n’ Roses song and a massive track list, Guitar Hero responded with Death Magnetic and Jimi Hendrix. Oh, and Wii wants to get involved. We caught a pair of baseball-related shows: Billy Joel and friends said goodbye to Shea Stadium and Bon Jovi celebrated All-Star Week in NYC with a Central Park performance. And we assume a bunch of Seattle Mariners fans went to the Sub Pop 20th Anniversary. Both Eminem and Britney Spears are back in the studio, working on their new albums. Only one of the two gave up custody of their kids, though. [Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage]
