Striped Beck
Posted on July 29, 2004 at 01:10 PM
The new album from Beck, due in late October, will feature a guest appearance by White Striper Jack White.
It's possible payback for Beck's appearance in the Stripes' video for "Hardest Button to Button."
The as-yet-untitled Beck album will reunite him with producers the Dust Brothers, who were behind the dials for Beck's 1996 Grammy-winning release, Odelay.

What if you could turn your iPod into a universal remote to control yoyr DVD player, stereo, XBox and more?
Well, you can, you just have to be enough of a geek to follow the instructions.
It's not the easiest thing to do, but the result is pretty handy.

Ozzy Osbourne has become the first heavy metal performer to hit $50 million in merchandise sales.
Over the past 10 years, Ozzy raked in $35 million from selling at concerts and shows and another $15 million from retail sales. The best-selling products are black t-shirts (shocker), slippers and action figures.
Don't worry, Ozzfans, more paraphenalia is on the way, including jeans, jackets, boots and even an Osbourne slot machine.

Apple news that doesn't involve them being ticked off at us...
Apple and Motorola announced a partnership today that will put a mobile version of iTunes on certain Motorola phones beginning in the first half of 2005. Storage space will be limited to available flash memory, but the phones will be able to store a couple dozen songs and should be a great complement to an iPod collection. The phones will use Bluetooth to transfer tunes wirelessly from Mac or PC to phone.

Posted on July 26, 2004 at 04:03 PM

03 Death Cab for Cutie: "A Movie Script Ending (Acoustic)"
04 Snow Patrol: "How to Be Dead"
05 Broken Social Scene: "Lover's Spit"

08 The Legends: "When The Day Is Done"
09 The Shins: "When I Goosestep"
10 Jamie Wyatt: "Light Switch"
11 Mates of State: "These Days "
12 +/-: "All I Do"
13 Mum: "We Have a Map of the Piano"

Even if it is, I bet Halle Berry bounces back faster than Jen and Ben.

Ja No Rule
Posted on July 26, 2004 at 03:15 PM
Rapper Ja Rule turned himself into Toronto police on Monday and was promptly charged for assault stemming from an incident at a downtown club last month.
Ja Rule was released on Canadian $10,000 bail (about 50 cents U.S.$). The judge even placed a publication ban on the matter.

Apple is mad at us for our new ad campaign. If you're looking for an official response, you're not going to get it from me, but you can read more about it today on Gizmodo or read the NY Post story with the headline I can't help but like...Apple Blows Fuse Over Ads, which could be taken one of two ways. Any guess on which inference we prefer?

Seven Months In Paris
Posted on July 23, 2004 at 05:25 PM
Look for former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter to fade back into obscurity soon after news today that he and princess-turned-porn-star Paris Hilton have broken up.
Look for the video on a website near you soon.
Hilton's rep says she is busy working on an album, a jewelry line and a book, although it's doubtful Paris herself will ever listen to her own album, be caught dead wearing her own jewelry or be still long enough to read the book someone has written for her.

Anything She Can Do...
Posted on July 23, 2004 at 04:44 PM
In the interest of equal time (since we already featured Natasha, the bipedal monkey earlier in the week), we now present Faith, the amazing bipedal dog.
Brain damage didn't cause her to walk on two legs, she was basically born that way and has been dealing with it like a champ (and not a chimp) ever since.

Cheese, Please

The chance you've been waiting for is finally here...now YOU can own KITT (Knight Industry Two Thousand), the tricked-out Trans-Am that was so cool, it needed its own TV series, Knight Rider. The car was the star, but every once in a while, David Hasselhoff made an appearance (way before he felt compelled to run around the beach sporting a speedo and chest hair.)
The car is supposedly one of the ones used in the show, with all the dials, switches and bad special effects gauges and readouts working perfectly. It even has the original stamped steel KNIGHT license plate.
In case you're interested, the starting bid is $40,000, or about the equivalent of a year's worth of Hasselhoff record sales in Germany.

Too Hot For TV
Posted on July 22, 2004 at 11:57 AM
But not for the blog, of course...
Possibly the hottest, most potentially controversial music video this political season has to be Agent Provocateur's latest for their cover of the Joy Division song, "She's Lost Control."
The vid features Marilyn Manson girlfriend and fetish queen Dita Von Teese in all her pastied and corseted glory and a Dubya lookalike getting down and dirty in the Oval Office in ways that would make Bill Clinton proud. You may even notice a guest appearance by Tony Blair as the gimp.
Who knew that George W. was such a fan of nipple wrenches?

Monkey Business
Posted on July 22, 2004 at 11:27 AM
Who says monkeys can't walk? All it takes is a little brain damage and they're as bipedal as the rest of us. Now is we could only get them to fly...
A young monkey at an Israeli zoo started walking around on its hind legs after a stomach ailment almost killed her, zoo veterinarians say. Monkeys usually alternate between walking on two and four legs, but ever since Natasha, a five-year-old, recovered from her near-death experience, she's been sticking to two.
Vets claim to have never seen or heard of this phenomenon before and point to brain damage caused by the illness as a possible cause.

Damn those Dukies...first, their basketball team wins every year and we all have to put up with the Cameron Crazies and all that crap, and now comes word that the school has inked a deal with Apple that will put FREE iPods in the hands of all Duke freshmen this August.
That's right, if you're starting school at Duke this semester, you'll receive a 20GB iPod loaded with orientation information and the school's academic calendar.
Duke is also licensing a special version of iTunes that will allow students to download course content including language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audiobooks.

Losing Their Religion
Posted on July 21, 2004 at 10:45 AM
The fabled church where R.E.M. used to live and play shows in in Athens, Ga., is long gone (torn down to make way for condos in 1990), but the steeple remains and is in dire need of restoration.
The band first played together in the church in 1980. The condo owners kept the 135-year-old steeple and can't afford the expensive restoration and have offered to give it away to anyone that can.

Backyard Bigfoot?
Posted on July 20, 2004 at 06:13 PM
There's a weird creature running around suburban Maryland and no one really knows what it is, not even the so-called "experts."
People have seen it lurking in the woods, eating pet cat food and generally just being an enigma.
Whatever it is isn't shy and visits the neighborhood often. They may not know what it is, but they have a name for it...a hyote, or mix of hyena and coyote.

King of Sperm
Posted on July 20, 2004 at 06:03 PM
The Michael Jackson story only gets weirder today at the word that the singer is about to become a father again...of quadruplets!
It's through a surrogate mother, of course, and Jackson isn't conforming anything, but he supposedly spent time with the mother-to-be in Miami.
Maybe it'll end up being a double whammy for the mother...she gets $$$ for having the kids, and then she can sue for abuse later on and collect again!

Cheaper, Thinner Pods
Posted on July 19, 2004 at 04:36 PM
Apple today released a cheaper, thinner and slightly revised version of the little white device that just about everyone just has to have, the iPod. Microsoft and Sony, take note at the new features for you to blatantly rip off:
- Even thinner than last revision
- Incorporates click wheel navigation from iPod Mini
- Extended battery life now up to 12 hrs
- Shuffle Songs: randomly plays tracks from your collection
- 20GB: $299, 40GB: $399

Rebel Ronstadt
Posted on July 19, 2004 at 04:23 PM
Linda Ronstadt got booed and booted from a Vegas casino this weekend for heaping praise on Michael Moore and his controversial film, Farenheit 9/11 during her performance.
Before singing her encore, "Deperado," Ronstadt called Moore a "great American patriot," and "someone who is spreading the truth," and encouraged attendees to go and see the film.
But I guess the attendees encouraged her to get off the stage by loudly booing, storming out of the show, tearing down concert posters and tossing cocktails.
Aladdin President Bill Timmins (who's British, by the way), was watching the show and promptly refused to let Ronstadt back in her luxury suite and escorted her off the property. Guess what happens in Vegas doesn't really stay in Vegas.
So the next time you're in Vegas, gamble, drink, drug and whore around all you want ... just keep your political views to yourself.

Has Anyone Seen Buck Truck?
Posted on July 15, 2004 at 06:02 PM
Who the hell is Buck Truck? He's the rappin' trucker and self-proclaimed King of Truckabilly, of course!
Someone was at a truck stop in Ridgetop, Tennessee and picked up a copy of Buck's blistering debut CD, "Buck Truck: The Rappin' Trucker...King of Truckabilly!" From the cover featuring a hand-drawn guy that looks like Dale Earnhardt with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, to the price ($4.99), he knew he had an instant classic!
With tracks like, "Truckin' Roots," "The Weird Waitress," "Elvis Once Drove a Truck," and my favorite, "Too Old to Truck Anymore," how could you go wrong?
Don't wait any longer, good buddy, listen to the man himself here.

Newlyweds No More
Posted on July 15, 2004 at 05:50 PM
Somebody is probably sad today at the news that the honeymoon's over...that's right, according to Us magazine, this will be the last season of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's reality show, Newlyweds.
Why, do you ask? Well, first of all, since they've been married about two years, they aren't really newlyweds anymore. Secondly, they've already milked the show for all that it's worth. Think about it...would Nick and Jessica be getting film and TV roles, sponsorship deals and all the other stuff based solely on their singing careers? Not a chance.
Actually, ol' Jessica might be smarter than anyone thinks...get out while you can! No need to overstay your welcome like the Osbournes and go from parody to pathetic.
