Friends or Enemies Friends or Enemies is an online site which reports exclusives of your favourite bands. FOE reports nothing but the truth and so you find any celebrity rumors on the website. What you will find is interviews, pictures and videos of your favourite bands. So come and check it out.
The National Enquirer The Enquirer is probably one of the most hated tabloid magazines out in America. With its far-fetched and false stories it prints, the magazine has gathered more than a few celebrity enemies.
"Inquiring minds want to know."
COOPER'S TOWN I am Cooper. The king of this here Town. You can call me anything you want - my feelings don't get hurt easily. But your favorite musicians and industry giants? They've got the emotions of a 5-year-old. It's easy to fuck with them... so I do.

Fashion: Forwards and Fails It seems like the music industry just gets fuller and fuller of hot messes- and not the good kind, the 'my dog just left a hot mess in your yard' kind. I'm here to talk about all of them! After all, they asked to be famous, didn't they? They should know better than to dress like fools!

All Shook Up! Fan Forum The ASU Fan Forum is an online board for in-character discussions of their favorite bands from each label. Talk about the latest band news & gossip, share concert videos, photos, decode lyrics, leak music... This will also be a place for the labels to post official news concerning your fav bands. And maybe, just maybe, your favorite rock star will make an appearance in the discussion boards.
Live a Little Records Located in downtown Manhattan, the Live a Little Records headquarters is where all the up and coming artists want to be. Most would give anything to step into the studios with Bennett or be interviewed by Gordon in his swanky radio booth. But most of all, they would all love to step foot into Harper's office to sign a record deal. If you think you're the next star of LALR, this is the place to be.
Dining Are you hungry or just need a dose of caffeine? From fine dining to fast food, New York City is bursting with exquisite cuisine. Then again, you can't go wrong with the classics: hot dogs and pizza.
The Tribeca Perhaps one of the trendier neighborhoods in lower Manhattan, the TriBeCa is a great area to grab some drinks and go dancing. Don't be surprised if you see a celebrity hanging out at one of the clubs or bars, here.
New York City is one of the most influential cities in the world when it comes to the media. ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, MTV - they're all based in this bustling city. And you can't forget that some of the biggest names in fashion and photography are here.
The Big Apple The Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, the Empire State Building - many of the world's most famous landmarks are located in New York City for tourists and locals alike to visit.
Residential Areas There's no place like home, huh? Even if home is a cramped studio apartment or some penthouse 15 stories off the actual ground. So pick a burrough and sign the lease. Hopefully you'll stay for a while.
Wild Card Records The lovely owners of Wild Card Records know a unique sound when they hear it! And they know a creative office when they see one too. From the moment you step inside the colors and the atmosphere will excite you. The energy is all over the building and you'll need that and so much more to impress the staff at this big time label.
Dining You gotta take a break sometimes and just grab a bite to eat. Since you're in LA, why don't you get something healthy. Gotta maintain that rockstar figure! And if you just don't care - grab a seat at a fancy cafe and eat 'til your hearts content.
Sunset Strip LA's club scene is the most notorious place to spend a Friday night. At most clubs, the security is tight, but the alcohol is loose. The outfits are skimpy and the doors don't close 'til 5 a.m. Just don't have too much fun. The paparazzi might be in the building too.
Hollywood Hills Yeah, yeah, Hollywood is where the stars are. But there's more to Hollywood than just a bunch of cheesy tours and accidential celebrity sightings. Go shopping, see a movie in Grauman's Chinese Theater or take some pictures for your Facebook page. There's never a shortage of things to do!
LA has one of the biggest media scenes in the nation. You name it - it's here. CBS, NBC, CNN, Universal, Paramount and too many TV shows and magazines to list. Get your butt down here fast and don't get lost at the wrong studio when it's time for your interview!
L.A. Proper Los Angeles is a city that needs no introduction. Famous around the world and loved by the residents. All the essentials to living in tinseltown are right here: the hotels, the shopping and some other things you can't go without.
Residential Areas You going home for the day? Well, sleep tight love. Don't let the paparazzi, groupies, crazy managers, band drama, nightmares about that DUI or the bedbugs bite! Keep one eye open for robbers too. Night!
Eightball Records The little label that could, Eightball, is where the outcasts play. Alternative artists and the bands that just don't fit in with the artificial beats and the superficial looks think of the Eightball offices as a second home. Just because they aren't the biggest label in the industry though, doesn't mean they don't have power. If Knight, Moretti and Valentine could sway Grammy nominees, then they'll find a way to sway you too.
Dining What's a trip to Chicago without buying a slice of their world-famous deep dish pizza? You're a little too high class for that? Okay, well get your grub on at any of the other regional delights and sit in at a couple restaurants while you're at it.
Clark Street Home to Chicago's club scene, Clark Street is where all the ballers come to have a nice night on the town. So get pretty and turn up the charm, you'll need it to impress the bouncers - because only the rich and famous have a chance in hell of getting inside the really nice clubs and bars.
Chi-Town Metro There's no way you can experience everything Chicago has to offer in one day. Like seeing a play at the Chicago Theatre or a Chicago Bulls game. And if you really wanna be a tourist swing by the Sears Tower, the park or gaze at Lake Michigan when all the lights from the city are reflecting off the water.
Media Central This is where some of your favorite things originated and you probably didn't even know it. Oprah, Playboy Magazine, Pitchfork Media and over 30 radio stations. If you're a rockstar, get ready to do your rounds. If you're an adoring fan, get your ticket and get ready to see what it's like behind the scenes.

Chicago Proper Welcome to the third largest city in America - the real side of the Windy City, for all you tourists and semi-locals trying to blend in. Forget what you heard, this is where the real business goes down. All you natives know how badass Chicago is. The Dark Knight was filmed here - what else do you need to know?
Residential Areas Had a wild day? Spending the night with friends? Well, go home then. Or go home with them. Lay your head down and close your eyes. You're sure to sleep well with all the static noise going on outside.
Dreams What could have been... Ever wanted to play out a plot with another character but couldn't because of certain circumstances? Well here is where you can roleplay plots that were never meant to be.
International Destinations Going global? From England to Tokyo, everyone needs to go on vacation sometime. Or perhaps your band is going on tour. Either way, it's nice to get out of North America.
North America Sometimes it's not all about Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles. Hell, it's not even all about going international. Travel from state to state or even up north to Canada. This is the land of the free and its about time you take full advantage of what's offered.
