Get in on this beer bong, SONNN! ?Dude, 1996, would you get pissed if I made out with your little sister? ?Cuz I start JV football and shes totally down.??
I considered blogging this a couple days back, but didnt think it was that important to you readers...then I remembered that I am, essentially, one of the the mass markets only links to some serious Kells coverage. ?Im prolly the only company blogger who covers Kells regularly, and, aside from that IFC guy and Bridgette, definitely the only white person whos genuinely stoked on his acquittal (and not just because white people have wrongly...
Girl, you know its true.? Thanksgiving is one of my faorite Holidays. ?I know a lot of people dig the more acive holidays, and thats cool, thats cool.? However, summer holidays always fall a little flat for me.? I would never suggest that BBQing, drinking my weight in beer, surfing, playing music, enjoying Californias finest, smallest bikinis and doing all of that other summer holiday stuff is not fun.? I would, however, suggest that there is...
This Bizarro world stuff is gettin a little out of hand. ?Remember when I told you about that goofy promotion that Taco Bell cooked up this summer in which they asked Curtis to change his name, for a day, to 79 cent Jackson in honor of their (effin delicious) value meal? ?Well, the lawsuit that Fiddy claimed would result has been leveled, and Taco Bells lawyers have come back hard at Curtis, claiming that he is using his public voice to...
...aint gonna be possible. ?Really, seriously. ?Mr. & Mrs. Jay-Z have reportedly earned a combined 162 million dollars this year. ?One hundred and sixty two MILLION dollars. ?Now they can totally afford designer sunglasses and stuff. ??
I know, I know. ?Most of you dont make your own music, but it is getting sooooo easy. ?Only a few years ago cassette four track recorders cost hundreds of dollars and usually sounded kinda whacktastical. ?Now, you can buy a palm sized digital 24 track with built in rack fx and nice little matched stereo mics for like 700 bones. ?And, if you arent serious enough to drop that kind of coin, the iphone now has a 4 track recorder app! ?This may be...
Yeah, that was my reaction to this:?I heard a rumor today that Sublime may be reuniting (with a new frontman, obviously) to play some festival dates this season. ?I am definitely a monster Sublime fan, and I wanna see these guys play again. ?I only have one request: dont bill them as Sublime, dammit! ?I really liked what Bud and Eric did in Long Beach Dub All Stars. ?They pulled off some sweet covers, and played the Sublime songs, but they...
Last night, I checked out the Chinese Democracy listening party at The Roxy. ?I was pretty damn stoked to hear the album in proper track order, on the house PA and most importantly: on the strip. ?When I arrived, The venue was pretty full (especially for a listening party) and I was happy to see a number of people close to the production in house along with some staunch superfans...also, it was at The Roxy, one of the Strips most historic...
A Vampire movie featuring appearances by Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins and Moby!?!?!Oh. Em. Effin. Jee. ?Thats like 3 of my childhood heroes...and Moby...who I have nothing against. ?Variety reported today that a comedy vampire film entitled Suck, ?which is currently in pre-production, will feature appearances from all of the above. ?The film is reportedly about a rock band with an undying ambition (no pun intended). ?Id like to go on...
?This may be the funniest early album review in history. ?Curtis recently told MTV that he doesnt think the public will forgive Kanye West for making his new, non-hiphop album. ?Check out?THIS VIDEO?for more of 50 goin HARD at Kanye and decide for yourself if there isnt still some healthy competition between the two.50 Pretty much leveled Kanyes record in this interview. ?What could make these statements blow up in Curtis face, however is that...
Oh, man. ?I was gonna entitle this post either: CARSON DALY THINKS ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE or: CARSON DALY: ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE RELATED? But then I figured that was a little harsh, cuz this really was just a funny honest mistake. ?I still have to clown him for introducing Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks as Tony Banks at the big TRL sendoff last week, though. ?Check out this backstage clip from WSHH...even better than Carsons slip up is Kid Rock...
Its hard to believe that its been four years since the passing of the Wu-Tang Clans only Brooklyn member, The Old Dirty Bastard. ?Hell, its hard to believe that its been 15(!) years since the release of Enter The Wu-Tang (which I will be listening to right now, thank you).ODB was always my favorite Wu member. ?I always related to his completely unique and often stream-of-conciousness style, and loved that it wasnt at all contrived, but rather...
I hate to use terms like jump the shark...but here you go. ?Here is an interview quote that Kanye delivered yesterday. ?It really changed my opinion of him as a sensitive artist:I realise that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice... (Ive)?sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people…it is great that I was able to do...
So, by now, most of you know that Lil Wayne joined Kid Rock on stage on wednesday during his performance at this years Country Music Awards. You also know that the PR spin on the performance was that Weezy was the first rapper ever to perform at the CMAs. ?You probably also know that Wayne DIDNT rap, opting instead to play air guitar.Now, if you read this blog (thanks to both of you), you know that Ive already put Weezy on notice for the...
The thing is, you gotta pick it up if you want it...but it comes with a free couch...you gotta pick that up too. ?Daaaaaamn, Stawch! ?I just got an email with a rundown of Scott Storchs current debts. ?These numbers are astronomical! ?I didnt think anyone aside from Dick Cheney could get that type of credit. ?Anyway, the Storch estate IS listed on Craigslist as a bank seized property, and the house reportedly appraised for $18,000,000.Isnt...
Or at least someone on his team can. ?The GNR camp has announced an entirely odd promotion to coincide wit hthe release of CHINESE DEMOCRACY. ?Im talkin wierd on par with free Dr. Pepper and suing bloggers in an overhyped demoleak-gate. ?Guns has asked fans to upload their craziest, most inappropriate air guitar performances o the bands Youtube channel. ?The band will then choose the most skilled, outrageous, or inappropriate air guitarist...
...The new John Frusciante. ?At least in terms of album release/year ratio. ?Big Boi told MTV that we could expect 3..count em...3! new records from that Kast in 2009 in the form of 2 solo efforts and a new OutKast album.Basically, this is gonna be like getting a Speakerboxx/Love Below/Stankonia package this year. ?Hopefully, though, itll sound more like an Aquemini/Aquemini/Aquemini package. ?Good Times. ??
Apparently, Anthony Kiedis is the new Jerry Seinfeld. ?I was not informed...HBO knew, though! ?I heard today that HBO is currently developing an offbeat sit-com format series based on the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontmans memoir, Scar Tissue. ?Im betting that the series will bear the same title, but it cant possibly bear any tonal resemblance to the somber, though definitely clownish book. ?Ive seen any number of memoirs-as-movies (even made for...
WSHH posted this revealing video today about the friction between members of The Bloods and a number of the rappers who claim them.?All the usual suspects are brought up...go see for yourself?HERE.Honestly, Im gonna stop covering all this stuff in a minute, but hopefully if enough people know what the real deal is, well have a lot less glorification of gangs and promotion of gang life to kids by Blood rapper/admirers who have no idea what...
I just heard the recently leaked We Made History, the first track from Jay-Zs much anticipated?Blueprint 3 album to see the light of day. Ive been wondering what B3 might sound like, given the rapid evolution that seems to be taking place in Hoves persona. ?Only a few short years after Streets Is Watchin, Jay has become our new presidents go to hip hop statesman and youth culture ambassador. ?And Im a huge fan of the younger, wilder Hove, but...
