Another Great (but Disturbing) New Video

I feel so bad after watching that

Now this is when I get REALLY excited?!

The best part about being involved in the music industry is watching as your friends start to "make it." MGMT is a band that started in Brooklyn, NY and was signed by a good friend and classmate of mine, Will Griggs and his record label Cantora Records. The band went on to be signed by a major label and now are featured as the FREE MP3 of the day on Spinner.com.

Elvis' Handgun Found in the Shitter

During Graceland's 30th anniversary celebration of the King's tragic death, a man entered the Elvis After Dark museum in Memphis and stole a 9mm Smith and Watson handgun once owned by the legendary Elvis.

Other than the fact that I absolutely love all things Elvis, why would this story be so interesting. The gun was returned to the museum after a construction worker found it in the portable bathroom located just outside of the museum. The police are assuming that the thief got a tad bit clumsy and accidentally dropped the gun in the tub of excrement and obviously did not want to wait around to dig it out.

Personally, I find this HILARIOUS!

Music spoofs have the potential to be GREAT

This new preview is for an upcoming muic spoof movie that looks FANTASTIC! Just watch it and enjoy the guest appearances by Paul Rudd and Jack White.

Hey Mikey, she iLikes it!

With the start of the iPod came the iGeneration - an entire generation of people who are consumed by all thinks 'i'-whatever!

Well, I think I might be a little late on this iTrain, but I just discovered iLike - the greatest website/facebook application ever. I am one who LOVES to find new music, but sometimes just does not have the time. This is like a customized personal shopper for music. It's great! SUCH A FAN!!!

Check it out here!! iLike Website

Oh and don't forget to go here (Voki Homepage) to make a voki and let me know what you think about it!!

My Darling, why did you leave?!

And she's out. Amy Winehouse has checked out of rehab!! There are rumors circulating that it was because she had a seizure during her collapse and doctors wanted her to have a brain scan to rule out epilepsy. There are also rumors that my girl just does not want to be in rehab. Damn, she wrote a whole song about it!

Regardless, we all have to admit that Amy can sing while she's sober, while she's high, while she's drunk... whatever. That girl's got some chords!!

No report on whether her hubby Blake, is still in the rehab center.

Just watch ... I don't even need to write anything to go with it!

My Girlfriend's Getting Help!

A few weeks ago I confessed my love/obsession with Amy Winehouse. Today I learned that both her and her husband Blake, are headed to rehab for cocaine, heroin and alcohol abuse. After initial reports that Amy had collapsed because of exhaustion (right... cause we believed that one) the happy couple checked into a rehab facility. Right after Amy was rushed to the hospital she said, "No, No, No" to going to rehab (yeah, I apologize about the cliche there!) I'm hoping the best for this songstress -- cause I just can't get enough of her. (Even when she was drunk at Virgin Festival in Baltimore...she still rocked my socks off.)

I've Got Another Girl Crush ...

Jenny Lewis started in 'Troop Beverly Hills' then went on to Rilo Kiley (where I fell in love with her) and then finally did a side project -- Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.

She's so sexy, but yet adorable and fun, yet serious -- overall, Jenny Lewis pretty much makes me speechless.

Or watch 'Moneymaker' (a soft-core porn music video from Rilo Kiley)

I know...it's a music blog, but you've all caught it, so I must address

HARRY POTTER FEVER!!! This entire weekend, despite the beautiful weather, people spent their time couped up in their rooms reading the 7th and final edition of Harry Potter. I, too, was one of these people, but I refuse to ruin the book for anyone. Therefore, I give everyone till... Monday of next week... before I start blogging about the book and looking for some feedback!

Please no spoilers. Not everyone reads as fast as everyone else and we don't want to ruin it for them!

A Must See...

Tonight the Fratellis are playing at Roseland Ballroom and I must urge EVERYONE and their mothers to go see them. They are FANTASTIC and for the the first time in months the show is not sold out yet!

If you don't have a good excuse get your ass to the Roseland Ballroom tonight! Doors at 6:45.

Weekly ounce of vomit...

This week I'm changing things up a tad. My weekly ounce of vomit is more of a frustration with free shows. Now I know I shouldn't really be complaining, cause ya know, it's free. However, I am slightly annoyed that every time I want to see a free show it's fucking raining out! Spoon?! Siren's festival at Cooney Island last summer! I just can't take it anymore.

I apologize about the rant, but I needed a place to do it and I knew you all would listen!

phew...i feel much better now!

This rocked my world ...

I don't think I've really talked about my obsession with Gogol Bordello yet and I think everyone needs to understand just how amazing I think they are. It all started when my roommate saw this gangly-looking man walk down the street (pst...it was Eugene Hutz). From that point on I could not get enough Hutz! After being away for a long weekend, I was completely out of the music circuit and found their Live Earth performance with Madonna. HOLY CRAP. They are sooooo fuckin' crazy and I love it!

(sorry about the 10 thousand videos I've been posting, but you NEED to watch this one!)

My new favorite video

You can't be in a bad mood when you listen to this and the who doesn't think that the "french don't want them around" :)

A School to Learn to Rock...Interesting...

Yo La Tengo, 'Sugarcube'

Another weekly ounce of vomit...

There are so many issues I have with this song, where do i even start. Well, first off, we must address the video and the short opening scene (and for that matter the closing one too). Lil' Mama (who before I go any further I must say she is a HOT dancer) says, "I just wanna be a part of the cool kids mama." Her concerned mother responds, "I got something for ya. Take this lip gloss!" WHAT THE FUCK WHERE THEY THINKING!!!!!!!!!

But my really issue with the song (other than the fact that there is absolutely no music in the song and it get so incredibly irritating) are these lyrics...

"when it’s time for lunch, my lips still rock
lil mama melon with the hot pink top
cherry, vanilla, flavors is a virtual thing (((((virtue)))
they lovin, lip gloss universal

the boys really like it, the girls don’t speak,
they, rollin they eyes, cus they lip gloss cheap
it ain’t my fault, but I can upgrade you
show you how to use nice things with nice flavors"

It is actually dificult to pick out just one section of this "song" cause, really, the whole damn thing is vomiticious!

I honestly don't know how i feel about this

The Smashing Pumpkins are back and their new video has just been released on Spinner.com. I'm not sure if it's the terrible outfit? or the terrible psychedelic background? or the lasers coming out of Billy Corgan's eyes? Who knows? But this video is WEIRD!!!

Can I wear my hair like that too??

Amy Winehouse is just so incredibly hot. Her voice is so soulful, sometimes I'm surprised she's a little British white chick. Did I mention she's hot?! Absolutely NO reason not to LOVE her!


Amy Winehouse, 'Tears Dry On Their Own'

This has nothing to do with music ... but i love it

Weekly ounce of vomit...

This is the first of many weekly editions of lyrics that seriously make me question the entire music industry. Seriously, who thinks these are okay? I want to see the artist in the recording studio ... are they that stupid that they ACTUALLY believe that this is something worth while to say??

I really hope they realized just how vomiticious they sound?!?!

This week's lyric is ...

"I'm not going to miss you like a child misses their blanket" -- Fergie, 'Big Girls Don't Cry'

Patti Smith does Kurt

I found the most incredible cover! Spinner.com DL Show featured Patti Smith and they've premiered Patti Smith's cover of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'!!!

Watch it!

I’ve got another girl crush ...

It started with Jenny Lewis, the oh so adorable singer of Rilo Kiley. But recently I’ve been finding myself a bit more attracted to a more soulful, edgy kind of woman. And the fact that her hair is enormous and that she has a tattoo of a naked woman on her shoulder – doesn’t bother me one bit.

I’ve got a girl crush on ... Amy Winehouse.

New York City Potties

Everyone has had those gross experiences where they're completely trashed and the bathroom has a ridiculously long line only to be greated with utter grossness (yeah that is definitely not a word).

As promised, here are my top three picks and the stories about just why they are so gross...
#3: Lit Lounge
This bar used to be fantastic till it was written up in some NYC magazine or paper and then everyone who was too cool for school invaded this dive and they stopped accepting fake ids. Well, I used to go their all the time (for the incredibly hot men) and without fail the bathroom would make me want to puke. One time - in true girl fashion - 3 of us headed into the bathroom and literally the toilet was overflowing with piss, the sink was overflowing with the same and - wait for it - so was the garbage can. Ugh, I just got sick thinking about it!

#2: Every guy's apartment
I don't know what it is, but most guys cannot stand girl hair, but yet they let their bathroom look like a monkey exploded in it. Seriously guys, learn to clean the bathroom - even once every three months would help!

#1: (I have to agree with the post that prompted this post) CheapShots
Please see the original gawker post and you'll understand why...

Akon is a crazy, dumb man ...

This is my first post and unfortunately I am being sucked into the world of pop culture. (Okay, I'll admit it, I love pop culture. What can I say? It's my guilty pleasure)

Anyway ... Akon. What the fuck is he doing recently?! I mean, I guess you can't expect much from a man who has admitted to having three wives. I wonder if he humps them in public too?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about you need to watch this:
