Gift of rap, jazz CDs surprises youth campers

Some Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints youths got a surprise when they played the inspirational CD that was given to them at the “Especially for Youth” summer camp.

They were greeted with the thumps of Paul Wall and Judge Dredd’s “Hometown Dreamin’,” complete with the lyrics that earned the album a “parental advisory” label.

According to The Associated Press, at least four campers were given the offensive rap album instead of “The Greatest Gift” inspirational songs.

Six other campers received a CD of jazz music.

The company that printed the inspirational CDs mistakenly included the rap and jazz music in the sleeves of “The Greatest Gift.”

Losing religion label

The rock band Mute Math, which plays at Christian music festivals, won its battle with Warner Bros. and no longer will be marketed as “Christian.”

“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the lawsuit is officially over,” Paul Meany wrote on the band’s MySpace blog. “All issues are settled. Our label Teleprompt has just inked a new and improved deal with Warner Brothers that enables us to keep making and selling music exactly as we want.”
