The late Mark Sandman 's former bandmates in Morphine have compiled the box set "Sandbox: Mark Sandman Original Music," which features two CDs and a DVD.
The 31-track collection, due on Nov. 16, includes previously released material from Morphine and Sandman's previous band, Treat Her Right, as well as some newly uncovered material. The DVD features a mix of previously unseen footage, artifacts from Sandman's career and more music.
Sandman died after collapsing onstage during a 1999 Morphine performance.
Michael Jackson reportedly is demanding that the video for the new Eminem track "Just Lose It" be pulled from the rotation of music networks. BET has complied with the demand.
Jackson is parodied in the clip, in which Eminem dresses like as the self-proclaimed King of Pop, at one point telling a group of children, "Come here, little kiddie, on my lap."
