Weirdest Music Video Since…
Since I posted a great music video a little while ago, it is only appropriate to post this classic from David Hasselhoff.
Hooga hooga ooga chakka.
That must be Swahili for “I’ve come along way since Knight Rider.”
As a side note, I had to google “Hasselhoff” to see if I was spelling his last name correctly…which led [...]
Greatest Music Video Since Thriller?
So says one commenter on Youtube. Certainly some creative choreography.
pretty toney’s “universal laws”
i don’t know anything about this guy, so i probably shouldn’t be endorsing this video, but he has some advice on handwashing that i think everyone should hear.
greg whiteley interviewed by times & seasons
it looks like greg’s giving away a little bootleg treat if you buy a shirt. mine’s on the way:
Q: When and how did you get David Johansen to render “A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief†at the end of the film? And was it recorded at Arthur’s funeral? If not, how did he [...]
new york doll
we repeat: go see new york doll. here are the sweet production notes:
New York Doll is a film that captures one of those rare occasions where life is not only stranger, but better than fiction.
Truly Frightening Teeny-bop “Singers”
As reported on Drudge and all around the web, we bring you Lamb and Lynx Gaede.
They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much [...]
Record Industry Scared Silly
The recording industry is frightened to death that new technology is helping anyone and everyone become a producer. Geee…if the big labels were actually putting out a plethora of quality music, what would they have to fear?
Funny quotes from the Beatles’ old producer, who is particularly peeved at this development.
Legendary BEATLES producer GEORGE MARTIN [...]
‘new york doll’ movie review
my wife and i saw “new york doll” at the LA film festival on saturday night in the directors guild of america theater. the 77-minute film is a documentary about a punk rock bassist from the 70s, arthur “killer” kane. his band, the new york dolls, broke up after a few years, though [...]
greg graffin’s ph.d
there have been rumors for about the last 10 years that he was working on something like this. greg graffin, the frontman for one of my top-five favorite bands of all-time (bad religion) was recently awarded a ph.d from cornell. you can get a pretty good idea of his work here. there [...]
a petition won’t stop ashlee, but it’s fun
a petition won’t stop ashlee if there are enough 13 year olds still watching her show and buying her CDs to make the ashlee simpson juggernaut profitable. however, signing the petition may show the snake oil salesmen (geffen records execs and simpson’s father) that they need to stop forcing her upon us elsewhere–like SNL and [...]
a brief, but damning clip of the former lip-synchers atrocious performance at the orange bowl halftime show is here: [Ashlee Simpson Booed Off Stage]. many thanks to lipsinc.us for hosting the video. [listen really close between the 20 & 22 second mark on the clip. you'll hear someone shout, "YOU SUCK!"]. [...]
you mean, “what’s the frequency, dan?”
in celebration of dan rather’s recently announced retirement, we’d like to take a look back at one weird moment in his life.
One night in October 1986, Rather was walking down a Manhattan street when he was punched from behind and thrown to the ground. His assailant kicked and beat him while repeating, “Kenneth, [...]
“death to clear channel”
finally, howard stern says something i can agree with. clear channel has ruined american radio, by monopolizing markets and narrowing the scope of songs that get airplay.
but i dislike howard stern. he has a popular show because he is willing to be perverted. on free radio, he was already a [...]

a story being reported by the BBC notes some criticism of the republican national convention’s planned tribute of recently deceased country singer, johnny cash. apparently, the deeply religious and moral cash, who wrote several songs about jesus christ, and who covered nine inch nails’ song, “hurt” with the phrases “crown of sh*t” and “empire [...]
mixing music and politics
via lgf
In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and [...]
