NEWS: > Luscious Jackson keyboardist Vivian Trimble has departed the band in an amciable split from the group to pursue other musical interests. Luscious Jackson is currently demoing material for its follow-up to 1996's Fever In Fever Out , with plans to begin recording in the late spring.

> Mammoth Records has redesigned their website, located at http://www.mammoth.com , with advance previews of new singles and videos, as well as much of the Mammoth catalog. In addition, all future single artist CD releases will contain a multimedia CD-Rom tracks.

> Run DMC helped revive Aerosmith's career with their rap modernization of "Walk This Way", so it's only fair that Jason Nevins picks up the trio's sagging career with his update of "It's Like That". Nevins is set to also remix another Run DMC song, and is at work on updating a tribute version of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus".
