Beat box chick

She's impressive because she does the rippity-rap beat boxing thing. Usually guys do that. And she's pretty good-looking.

I love what she can do with her mouth...

Chewbacca guitar chord discovered

In a breakthrough that could change music forever, a group of stoners have discovered a guitar "chord" that sounds like a growling, fictional Sasquatch thanks to a great deal of distortion. Editor's note: Chewbacca video is much better... On weed!

Kanye West responds to South Park

There's a new episode of South Park tonight. But if you haven't seen it already, watch last week's. Right now. It rips on Kanye West in addition to others including the much deserved Carlos Mencia.

Kanye's blog repsonse, where he asserts in all capital letters that it hurt his feelings and that he's working on deflating his enormous, Macy's Day Parade balloon-sized ego. Also, he says in a later blog post that some waiter at the Cheesecake Factory served him fishsticks. Good one, dude!

ezmac says

"I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE."

its much much longer than you think

icehazard says

As i watched this episode... i was thinking... what is Kanye gonna write in his blog this time

dixta replies

Can tell you what he's NOT gonna write in his blog..... the 26 lowercase characters between a and z.

If there were such things as capital numbers, he'd use those too.

Trent Reznor takes a shit

Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor is treading new water with his latest endeavor. He has, if reports are to be believed, taken a shit. Such a dramatic venture is sure to fascinate and please fans around the world.

Holy shit! He actually took a shit? Way to stick it to the man!

Copyright claims breaks Death Cab for Cutie's own videos on their website

Step 1, make music. Step 2, get noticed. Step 3, join major label. Step 4, make some money and lots of fame. Step 5, get screwed repeatedly. This step repeats for a long time.

Once-indie, once-rock band Death Cab for Cutie lost all of the YouTube-hosted videos on their website thanks to a falling out between the Google video website and their label, Warner Music Group. Pretty embarrassing for a band when fans click on a video on their website, and it's absent due to "copyright claims."

CaptainCrunch says

This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by WMG.

Longchamp asks

Things used to be this way in Hollywood. Actors were underpaid and under the thumb of execs. (I don't know how, but) They rose up and now have control that would've been unheard of 70 years ago. Why hasn't this happened in the music industry?

Cloakofthenight says

Looks like we can look forward to DRM free DCFC music in the future.

ChingChangCharlie says

That sucks. That was definitely the best work that Robin Williams has done in a long time. Edward Norton was good, as usual. A funny-ass dark comedy.

Kanye West, 50 Cent face off again on album sales

Kanye West and 50 Cent will have another head-to-head. Not in the cool, 8-Mile rap battle style, no it's just a competition for who can make the most money. Kind of like a challenge among Best Buy employees about who can make the most commission in a given month.

Kanye West, who despite his poor grammar and unrivaled douchebaggery, won last year's money-off with Fitty, but to be fear, West actually writes some pretty decent songs, when compared to 50 Cent, who simply spits line-after-line of cliché with a vocal composite that sounds like he has a few too many balls in his mouth.

New dad Clay Aiken is gay

After somehow making some type of mutant baby with record producer Jaymes Foster, American Idol loser Clay Aiken comes out of the closet. What a shocker. CNN reports that the announcement was suspected by many. Not really sure what tipped them off: maybe it was his blatant homosexuality or the fact that he sang a Gloria Estefan song co-written by Mac Gayden. Really, gay-den. I shit you not.

piznut asks

Which closet would that be? The one with the glass door on it?

thetanman says

You know how I know you're gay? You're Clay Aiken.

Kanye West arrested at LAX airport

Rapper Kanye West was arrested on September 11 for being a terrori — whoa, whoa, I mean, breaking some dude's camera. I'd imagine the photographer who had his camera destroyed would seek damages, but I ain't sayin' he's a gold digger.

I hope they charge him with asshattery.

One of a kind recording

Yes, yes, I know: older than Estelle Getty. But if a well known music blog can write about it, why can't I? The clip originally aired on a TechTV program. (Thanks to Califaudio for the tip.)

Chris seems to be a trustworthy source on this one

Its not one of a kind.. I have seen many of these in flea markets.

localhost says

ah well no great loss, i’m sure someone would have ripped an mp3 copy if it was that historical.

Radio_Talk_Show says

I remember this guy from college. He used to break things on purpose, just so he could say “SHIT”.

U2 songs leak after Bono plays his stereo too loudly

U2 front man Bono is in hot water after it was discovered that songs from U2's new album "No Line on the Horizon" have leaked to the Internet. These tracks aren't your average pre-mix clean rips or even your classic radio taped variations. No, these were recorded super old school: a dude sitting outside Bono's door with a tape recorder.

Bono was playing the pre-release a little too loudly and a prehistoric pirate snagged it, leaking it to the Internet. This is perhaps much worse than a noise complaint.

Rahondeb says

He should be sued by the RIAA for each song he shared.

rowjimmy says

i can already see the discussion on torrent sites.

"is this flac?"
"no, it's rfbs"

Janet Jackson's 'wardrobe malfunction' fine nixed

Hey, remember when the Patriots were in the Super Bowl? Remember when Janet Jackson was a household name? Okay, I'm not really narrowing it down too well here. Remember that Super Bowl when Janet Jackson showed her jewelery adorned nipple on national television? Believe it or not that was four years ago, and it took until now for the FCC to pass down a ruling on that fine they promised.

The ruling: no fine. The governmental body either decided that the $550,000 was too harsh because nobody cared or because their massive national distraction, much like the steroid baseball hearings, was long forgotten. Never forget.

Last.fm starts paying royalties to unsigned bands

Social music networking-streaming-event finding site Last.fm announced it would pay musicians royalties for tracks played through the site, even if the band isn't signed to a record label. It's a positive step toward removing labels from the music formula, but Digg users wondered how life-changing this would be for the average independent band.

VozdelaVilla says

I guess this is a good thing. But I think most of the bands on Last.fm would be making more begging on the streets than making $.00005 per play. Anyone done the math on this to find out how many plays it would take to pay one month's rent? Buy a new amp? New guitar? How about a guitar pick?

megadan76 says

We'll see what the practical results are (every 6 months: "Woo, another check for 72 cents!") but it looks promising.

oxygen911 is living the rockstar life

I can't wait for my band's songs to start raking it in for us. I already talked with my bass player, he want's a new Audi. Jesse, our singer said as soon as the first check comes he is out and moving in with his GF in Texas, fucking asshole. Me? I just wanted to rip a couple lines off a strippers ass and revel in the victory of the whole situation. Last.FM rules!

JGent gives a listener's testimony for Last.fm

I love my audioscrobbler, it was indespensible when i moved into my girlfriends, as I was able to stream my music tastes while my cd's where miles away :)
