Imperial Calendar  10 . 3
Extreme OuterRim / Minos Cluster
**********************************************************************
HoloNews-    the Galactic Cross-Sector   (INCOMM-OR subsidiary)

With the excitement that is precursor to the arrival of the Bazzar
Ithorian Herd ships the Minos gets a double dose of craziness for the
next two monthes...  That's right as mentioned by your Cross-Sector
at the new years eve banquette on Coruscant "Deaply Religious" has
come out of the closet so to speak with the recent downfall of the
Empire. They formerly banned galactic alternative phenominon has
announced its return to the Secotor that started it all- the Minos
Cluster.
Mygg Efedrin- lead singer of DR comments:
"That's right mommas, its getting *deap* again!"
With their critically aclaimed hit that's still in the charts after a
record setting 78 weeks -Like Dustin' Crops- & their recent number
one smash -DeMongg Killboy Powerhead- the teaming with the Hammerhead
Bazzar seemed like it wouldn't happen only weeks ago.
Mygg:
"Tax this, tax that, that's all Palpy's wanna-bes could do, & to be
full blunt with ya Arri, we didn't think the Repulic was much into us
either, hell if it weren't for the Bazzar this wouldn't be happenin'."
DR has officially signed on for their galactic tour inviting all
bands for their tribute to Alderaan (homeworld of keyboardist Isco)
later in the year.  DR new album is also a tribute to Alderaan with
all the proceeds going to relocation funds, its release date is on
the 4th.

This has been Arriot Fuches reporting-
for the Cross-Sector
"Banned by the Empire, & loving every minute of it!"

>>>GM Scoop:
I run a campaign based on much of the info from the DarkStryder
campaign.  To create a culturally diverse background I have renamed
several of todays bands, musicians, etc... with SW band names, giving
them bands each unique sounds. I try to pick bands & songs that are
not that recognizable with my PCs so when they hear the music in game
they don't think of the real band. the Beatles would never work.
I have used several classical muscians, alternative, punk & techno to
do this.  Deeply Religious is the PCs favorite band who in real life
is the alternative band Offspring. Coincidentally both groups new
albums come out this month on the 4th  :)
