The Keep A Breast Foundation Joined by Musicians Iggy Pop, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and DEVO in

The Keep A Breast Foundation will celebrate its 8th anniversary with an auction of one-of-a-kind celebrity painted breast casts and today's hottest online accessory, limited edition pink balls from SocialVibe.com. Proceeds will help to eradicate breast cancer by increasing awareness and inspiring youth to adopt lifestyle choices with long-term health benefits.

The auction will be live from October 18-28 at www.ebay.com/keepabreast. Over 50 painted busts will be up for bid, including busts from top burlesque performers Julie Atlas (Muse Miss Exotic World 2006) and Tigger (first ever best boylesque) painted by rock stars Iggy Pop, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO. Husband and wife artists Annie Owens and Attaboy from Hi-Fructose painted a husband and wife team from Pinchbottom burlesque. Other notable casts featured will be professional surfers Jen Smith and Kassia Meador, Amber Everson of the Glossines, Kristin Gundred of the Grand Ole Party, and several San Diego breast cancer survivors.

Word of mouth guide MojoPages.com will help in driving traffic to the auction in support of Keep A Breast. Additionally, Keep A Breast has greatly expanded its audience online through a partnership with SocialVibe.com as one of its newest charities. During October on eBay's Giving Works, the company's signature Pink Balls will bear the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon and a limited edition of 50 will be numbered and auctioned off with all proceeds benefitting Keep A Breast.

"Partnering with Keep A Breast allows young people on SocialVibe to feel actively invested in a cause that may not directly affect them. For the first time ever, our members will have the opportunity to purchase a SocialVibe pink ball rather than earn it with a limited edition version. We're thrilled to be raising money for KAB, who strongly empowers the next generation with knowledge and tools of prevention," said Dave Levy, VP of Strategic Partnerships at SocialVibe.com.

About Keep A Breast

White Zombie's Career-Spanning 4-CD/1-DVD Box Set LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE - Zibb.com

White Zombie. The musical horrorshow that mixed dark pop culture with metallic hard rock has been resurrected on the 4-CD/1-DVD box set LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE (Geffen/UMe), released November 25, 2008. The CDs bring together for the first time all 64 original studio recordings released by the band led by Rob Zombie during its 1985-1996 career. The DVD offers nine music videos, 10 live performances, and some hidden gems.

Disc One of LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE includes all of the tracks released on the New York City band's own Silent Explosion label -- the four songs on the 1985 GODS ON VOODOO MOON EP, of which only 300 copies were pressed; the two songs on the 1986 PIG HEAVEN EP, which had only 1,000 made; and the seven on 1987's PSYCHO-HEAD BLOWOUT EP, which Nirvana's Kurt Cobain called one of his favorite albums.

Disc Two encompasses White Zombie's first two full-length albums, 1987's SOUL-CRUSHER, which began on Silent Explosion but was re-released by Caroline Records the following year, and 1989's MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY. Disc Three offers the three-selection GOD OF THUNDER EP and the band's 1992 major label debut, LA SEXORCISTO: DEVIL MUSIC VOL. 1, which broke the band into the Top 40, earned double platinum and spawned the Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy-nominated "Thunder Kiss '65" and "Black Sunshine" (with Iggy Pop). Also heard is "I Am Hell" from the soundtrack to the 1993 animated flick THE BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD EXPERIENCE.

Disc Four opens with "Children Of The Grave" from a 1994 Black Sabbath tribute album and "Feed The Gods" from that year's AIRHEADS soundtrack album. The centerpiece, however, is 1995's ASTRO-CREEP: 2000, SONGS OF LOVE, DESTRUCTION AND OTHER SYNTHETIC DELUSIONS OF THE ELECTRIC HEAD, which ranked in the Top 10 for two months, was certified triple platinum and spun off the Modern Rock Top 10, Grammy nominated "More Human Than Human." The 64 LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE recordings conclude with 1996 soundtrack contributions to ESCAPE FROM L.A., BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA and THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS, with its Grammy nominated cover of the disco hit "I'm Your Boogieman."

Among the DVD's videos are those for "More Human Than Human," winner of the MTV Video Music Award for Best Hard Rock Video, as well as "Thunder Kiss '65," "Black Sunshine," "Super-Charger Heaven," "I'm Your Boogieman" and "The One." Live performances include "Soul-Crusher," "Spiderbaby (Yeah Yeah Yeah)," "I Am Hell" and "Creature Of The Wheel."

White Zombie stopped touring and recording in 1998 after the release of the HELLBILLY DELUXE, the triple platinum solo debut for Rob Zombie, who has since enjoyed continued success both on record and as a film director with his vision of the dark side.

The Musée d'art contemporain will be literally electrified this fall by the exhibition Sympathy for

The Musée d'art contemporain will be literally electrified this fall by the exhibition Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967. The title is taken from the eponymous Rolling Stones song. Montréal is the only stop in Canada and the Northeast for this exhibition, which will run from October 10, 2008 to January 11, 2009.

Organized by Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, Sympathy for the Devil examines the history of the relationship between avant-garde art and rock music over the past forty years. From Andy Warhol's legendary involvement with The Velvet Underground in New York in 1967 to the dazzling 2007 installation Pinball Wizard and The Byrds (Love in a Void) by British artist Jim Lambie, Sympathy for the Devil is the most comprehensive presentation ever-including artworks, album cover design, music videos and other materials-of work that has emerged from the intersection of these two cultures.

The exhibition comprises over 100 works (installations, sculptures, paintings, drawings, videos, photographs) produced by sixty artists and collectives, subdivided into six themes corresponding to the music scenes in New York, the U.K., continental Europe, the West Coast (particularly Los Angeles), the U.S. Midwest and the rest of the world.

An extensive program of activities is planned to accompany this major event (see the attached In Connection with the Exhibition).

    <<
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Journey through the exhibition
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    New York
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    From the early 1960s on, New York was in the forefront of the convergence
of art and rock music. Andy Warhol's studio, known as The Factory, became a
hub of the city's underground cultural scene in the late sixties. Warhol
collaborated with artists working well outside the mainstream of current pop
music, and offered them heightened visibility and a way to merge art and rock.
His Screen Tests films, with Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker, John Cale and others,
are part of the exhibition. Later, in the following decade, punk, New Wave and
No Wave musicians shared stages and gallery spaces with visual artists who
were often performers as well.
    Among the New York artists featured are Rita Ackermann, Robert Longo,
Richard Prince, Christian Marclay, Adam Pendleton, Mika Tajima and Jack
Pierson. A group of portrait photographs by Richard Prince depicts such
legendary art and music figures as Brian Eno, David Byrne, Dee Dee Ramone,
Tina Weymouth, Adele Bertei, Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson and Laurie Anderson.
Also on display are photographs from Richard Kern's New York Girls series and
stills from his film Submit to Me Now, as well as Christian Marclay's Untitled
(1987-2007), made up of vinyl LP albums spread over a gallery floor.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    United Kingdom
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the U.K., art schools were hotbeds of highly creative exchanges between
avant-garde art and rock music. Artists in this section include Richard
Hamilton, Jeremy Deller, Steven Claydon, Scott King and Douglas Gordon.
Ephemera documenting the activities of the collective Throbbing Gristle are
also presented. Jim Lambie-artist, DJ and ex-member of the band The Boy
Hairdressers (which became Teenage Fanclub)-skilfully captures the energy and
spirit of rock music with his spectacular new sculptural installation.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Continental Europe
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In continental Europe, the crossover between the visual arts and rock and
roll was fostered by the overlapping of the artistic and musical avant-gardes
and an awareness of industrial culture. The scene in Germany in the 1980s and
1990s, with artists such as Martin Kippenberger, Kai Althoff and Thomas Zipp,
was especially active in this regard. Among the other European artists
featured in the exhibition are Jutta Koether and Pipilotti Rist.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    West Coast
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On the U.S. West Coast, the connection between art and rock was more
geographically dispersed and loosely defined than in New York. The West Coast
art scene encompassed San Francisco's psychedelic culture of the 1960s and
anti-establishment figures based in Los Angeles. Included in this section are
Raymond Pettibon's drawings for flyers and album covers, Jason Rhoades' neon
sign installation Velvet Underground/Perfect World, and works by Mark Flores,
Thaddeus Strode, Dave Muller and Mungo Thomson.
    In Canada, Vancouver artist Rodney Graham explored installation,
photography and film, as well as music with the Rodney Graham Band. Graham's
Awakening, previously seen at the Musée in the solo exhibition devoted to this
artist in 2006, is presented here.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    U.S. Midwest
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Among the Midwest artists are Ed Paschke, Karl Wirsum (Chicago Imagists)
and Pedro Bell, along with newer Chicago artists like Melanie Schiff and Tony
Tasset, whose works arise out of vintage rock and roll culture.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    World
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    From the drawings of Japanese neo-Pop artist Yoshimoto Nara and Daniel
Guzman's noir rock-themed drawings to Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija's
recording studio and the large-scale graphic collages of the Brazilian
collective assume vivid astro focus, many other countries also explore and
celebrate the fusion of art and rock music.
    Punctuating this journey through the exhibition are stunning video
installations such as Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable by Ronald
Nameth; Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore by Mark Leckey; Douglas Gordon's Bootleg
series; Tony Oursler's Sound Digressions in Seven Colors; Aïda Ruilova's
Untitled; and Slater Bradley's The Year of the Doppelganger. Yet other videos
will be shown on monitors: Rock My Religion by Dan Graham and Synesthesia by
Tony Oursler. Finally, a video program will be presented, including works by
Art & Language and The Red Krayola, Judith Barry, Richard Kern and Sonic
Youth, Stephen Parrino, and The Residents.

    Presented in the exhibition Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll
Since 1967, Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija's Untitled 1996 (Rehearsal Studio
No. 6 Silent Version) offers visitors access to an actual recording studio.
Musicians of all skill levels can book one hour of free rehearsal time there
during museum opening hours. Panelled entirely in Plexiglas, the studio is
equipped with microphones, two guitars, a bass guitar and an electronic drum
kit, along with headphones that allow the musicians to hear themselves, and
let the audience outside the space listen to them. The instruments are not
amplified but are fed directly into a recording console. For spectators
walking through the exhibition, these rehearsals are thus paradoxically
"silent."

    The History of Rock & Roll
    Prod.: Time-Life Video & Television; Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.,
    2004
    Series of 10 episodes, 5 DVDs, 570 min, in English
    Screenings:
    Tuesday: episodes 1 and 2; Wednesday: episodes 3 and 4; Thursday:
    episodes 5 and 6; Saturday: episodes 7 and 8; Sunday: episodes 9 and 10

    This ten-part documentary covers the history of rock and roll, from its
humble beginnings in the 1950s to the 1990s. Both an introduction for
neophytes and a memoir for experts, The History of Rock & Roll is a monument
to the subject. The series contains 570 minutes of interviews with the leading
names in rock music and numerous concert highlights, from pre-rock (1950) to
the blues, boogie-woogie and the birth of the Lollapalooza festival in the
mid-nineties. Scattered throughout are new footage, some relatively obscure
clips of legends like James Burton and T-Bone Walker, and fascinating moments
with Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Iggy Pop, Bruce Springsteen, Bob
Marley, Stevie Wonder and many others. The last-and no doubt most
surprising-part deals with punk. (Source: PBS)

    Sympathy for the Devil
    Dir.: Jean-Luc Godard, 1968
    110 min, in English
    Screenings: continuous showings every Friday

    In 1968, Jean-Luc Godard went to London to film the Rolling Stones and the
protest movements. This astonishing puzzle of a film draws parallels between
artistic creation and social utopia. Contacted by producer Eleni Collard to
shoot a film on the campaign to legalize abortion in Britain, Jean-Luc Godard
landed in London in late May 1968. Soon after he arrived, the abortion bill
passed and the film project lost its raison d'être. Godard decided to stay on
and make a movie with The Beatles or the Rolling Stones. The Beatles declined
the offer, but the Stones immediately jumped on board. The film was eventually
financed by two producers, Iain Quarrier and Michael Pearson. It was screened
in November 1968 in London in a tense atmosphere, after a falling-out between
Godard and his producers. The movie was released in France on May 7, 1969, and
had a subsequent theatrical run in 1982. "Godard happened to be there for two
particularly memorable nights," said Mick Jagger, assuring viewers that the
director could just as easily have found nothing of interest to film. (Source:
