I don’t root for the downfall of too many industries, but record labels can’t die soon enough. Instead of embracing and capitalizing on web distribution, record labels pissed their leg and fought the web’s ability to move music. They were too busy fighting Napster to invent iTunes. They were too busy fighting iTunes to invent…
A friend sent me this line from his hotel. “They have amazing towels here. I ganked one of them.” I went on to explain that I’d never heard “ganked” before. He ridiculed me for a brutally late introduction to “gank.” From Google: Related phrases: gang/gank/gangbang Definitions of gank on the Web: Destroying another player’s…
I setup an account at Animoto, pointed it to a photo set on Flickr (you can also upload photos from your computer), picked a song, and five minutes later this came out. You can make 30-second videos like this using your own music or Animoto’s decent selection. Extended length and downloadable videos are three bucks…
I can’t think of anything to write. This picture of me struggling to play the accordion should provide enough entertainment for you.
Here comes another Gene Simmons production I never want to experience. The video, found at genessecret.com, purportedly features Simmons and Australian spokesmodel “Elsa” engaging in sexual activity to the tune of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is.” Can’t get hard to “Rock And Roll All Nite” anymore, Gene? “You may have heard or…

Where will it stop? Music-big names like Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean came up in connection with an Albany, N.Y.-based steroid investigation. Music critics will surely call for asterisks next to each of 50’s bullet wounds.
This is simply too good to actually happen: In a major role reversal, ‘American Idol’ contestants might get a chance to critique Paula Abdul’s performance for a change. The Grammy-winning artist turned ‘American Idol’ judge is in talks to perform at the Super Bowl XLII this February, TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reports. That sounds like…
With all the world’s problems behind us, what should Congress do? Hold hearings on steroids! This type of nonsense has no business wasting elected officials’ time. Now, when are we going to get that resolution declaring Dan Fogelberg’s life and works highly underrated? Or is that lowly underrated? Hmmmm. Whatever the case, you know we’d…
Poor Baby Jesus. First, he gets gold, a gift his non-materialistic world view could never appreciate. Then, he gets frankincense and myrrh, incenses he would only be able to appreciate in his later, hippie years. Finally, he gets bombarded with a surely horrifying, erratic drum performance from the Little Drummer Boy. Last I checked, a…
Check out the top items in Google Trends for 10 pm Thursday. They’re all for lyrics. It’s quite the variety, too.

Mike Huckabee keeps trying to trick everyone into thinking he’s the Republican, less orally pleased Bill Clinton. He’ll really be pushing it once he starts playing guitar on the modern day version of Arsenio Hall (Ellen?). Note to the media: Yes, you saw “I Heart Huckabees.” That doesn’t give you the right to put “_____…
Gene Simmons shares his insight on the music industry. There is nothing in me that wants to go in there and do new music. How are you going to deliver it? How are you going to get paid for it if people can just get it for free? The record industry doesn’t have a f—ing…
Have you ever read a quote from a famous person, and you can almost hear them saying it? They usually have to have a distinct voice. Michael Jackson has this power over me in this article about an article about the 25th anniversary of “Thriller.” Michael Jackson knows his reputation as a freak — but…
Pimp Everything’s going to be alright. Three days after his admission to a Dallas hospital and one day after undergoing “lifesaving surgery” to treat a pulmonary embolism, Isaac Hanson was back home Friday and is expected back on the road as early as Monday. Unfortunately, Hanson missed a show at the Beaumont Club in Kansas…
Garth Brooks will do nine shows in Kansas City. Parents, you have one month to convince your kids that Garth Brooks is way cooler than Hannah Montana. Start with an explanation of who Garth Brooks is. Unfortunately, I’m indifferent to Garth. My Hannah Montana money stays in the piggy bank for now. What’s the line…
(1:55 podcast) I’m getting annoyed by a certain part of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.” “Wait ’til I rip this shirt open, 12-year-old boys will be all over me.”
I was perusing my Facebook today when I stumbled upon this: Lars, are you selling out to the Internet? The Internet that cost you millions of dollars? Or is this just Facebook continuing its transformation into MySpace? For the sake of my fun, I’ll say Lars is selling out. Someone must’ve shown him a graph…
USA Today’s got me on a roll. Maybe I should just start an anti-USA Today blog. But, then I’d have to read more USA Today. “Yet another music format is merging onto the infotainment superhighway, and it may help force the CD player down a one-way street to the eight-track landfill.” What is this absolute…
