Goofy Bob Dylan parody short, enjoy.

I'm not sure what these tracks have to do with Jim Carrey's new film "The Number 23" but here is his playlist complete with his comments.

1. Strawberry Letter 23 - The Brothers Johnson
"Classic lost song from the '70's. Makes you wanna be on roller skates, with a disco ball. Coincidence that the number 23's in the title? I think not."
2. Breed - Nirvana
"One of my anthems. Put it on and imagine you're pummeling your foe's face into blood soup."
3. My Immortal - Evanescence
"Gothic. Hauntingly beautiful voice. I like powerful women."
4. One - Mary J. Blige & U2
"I love the light that shines through Mary. And U2's song can really lift you out of the muck"
5. Close to Me - The Cure
"This song makes me feel like I'm being held down and tickled."
6. Time Is Running Out - Muse
"Really into the energy and power. Definitely written by someone obsessed."
7. Overtime - Lucinda Williams
"She breaks my heart."
8. Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes
"Not too many originals out there, but Jack is one of 'em. I like him so much that I never want to meet him."
9. Run - Snow Patrol
"This song reminds me of a person who's passed on, reaching back to touch the one her loves. Touching man."
10. Breathe Me - Sia
"Song gives me chills - incredible voice. Jenny made me put this song on the list. But I love it, too."
11. Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge
"I found this song for the soundtrack of The Number 23. They're a great L.A. band, and the song is like the kind of passion that overwhelms your partner - loving but slightly brutal."
12. Lover's Spit - Broken Social Scene
"Found this one be mistake online. It was no mistake."
13. A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T - The Hives
"This is the perfect 'we're not buyin' your bullsh*t song."
14. Do You Realize? - The Flaming Lips
"You're perfect. Love yourself. And commit to being fully present. This song is a joygasm."
15. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
"One of the most beautiful tracks ever. Everyone should be familiar with this song. Originally recorded by Leonard Cohen - I love Jeff's version. His soul was crying out."
16. Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
"Iz was Hawaii's most popular singer until his death in 1997. I love his interpretation of this song. It's so transcendent that you don't even care that the lyrics are wrong. It's even better that way. Just would'a dug it."
17. Round Midnight - John Coltrane
"How can anyone beat the joy of Coltrane? Some things are classic for a reason. Everything Coltrane. Trust me! Just sit back and let him drive. The scenery he creates is breathtaking."
18. Limp - Fiona Apple
"I saw he rlive. It was staggering. One of the most talented people I've ever seen. She's totally hooked in. Pure and uncut."
19. American Idiot - Green Day
"These guys just get better and better. I love that this song exists. They took the words right out of my mouth."
20. Nobody Home - Pink Floyd
"Remember when there were only '15 channels of sh*t on the TV to chose from, chose from, chose from?"
21. Land of Hope and Dreams - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
"This song is about unconditional love and acceptance. It's salvation for all of us sinners. And the performance is like watching an architect build a grand cathedral. Sublime!"
22. Hey Man Nice Shot - Filter
"I heard it was about Kurt Cobain, who was born in 1967 and died in 1994; both dates add up to 23."
23. I Am the Walrus - Jim Carrey
"well, I am."

Speechless is what this video left us. All that can be said is that it's just like a mini-mall.

There is no denying the brilliance of Lee "Scratch" Perry. The Upsetter was birthed from Clement Coxsone Dodd's ska sound system. He worked with Joe Gibbs, produced the incomprehensibly fantastic Heart of the Congos, and burned his on studio to the ground.

Back in May '91, before punk broke or whatever, you could go down to the local watering hole and see a guy in a mullet and headband, rocking nothing but sweet guitar solos. Check out the guy upfront in the baby blue sweatshirt--is he into it or what?

Just 10 years ago, Foxy Brown was on top of the world; young, hot, famous, well-connected, atleast somewhat rich, and adored by millions of fans. Now she is a total mess.

It's been 6 years since her last album, and during that time she has managed to get arrested for both assaulting a nail salon employee and threatening to kill a personal assistant. She also supposedly developed some insane ear disease, rendering her almost completely deaf at one point.

Just yesterday, she was busted at a beauty shop in Florida, for hiding in a bathroom and using random products she didn't pay for, after the store had closed. When confronted, she spit on and threw hair glue at an employee, before scrapping with a cop, who had to "utilize a takedown maneuver" on her. Now, her not-so-glamorous mugshot is doing the rounds on the internet.

Will she be able to bounce back from all of the bad publicity and obvious mental problems? With her recording career on pause indefinitely, that's hard to say. I would be very unsurprised if she gets her own reality show and/or Playboy photo spread sometime in the next year. That may be the only way to get people to care about her again.

Personally I always liked Kim better anyways.

I had so much respect for Madonna in decades past. You know, when she rolled around the floor of the MTV Music Video Awards looking as if the mixture of pills and alcohol in her system were brining her to orgasm. Madonna has always taken herself and position her in popular culture a bit to seriously, but this new wave of comparisons to freedom fighters and the European version of Jesus Christ just reeks of bad PR and vacuous arrogance.

In a recent Sirius radio interview she admitted to designing her life after such heavyweights as Martin Luther King, Jesus Christ and Gandhi. Wow, really, because last time we checked Madonna was the highest paid female entertainer living like Marie Antoinette.

Here is a quote from the Queen of Vogue:

"For me we all need to be Jesus in our time. Jesus’ message was to love your neighbor as yourself, and these are people in need. I hope that people got that message … Of course some people thought 'Oh, she's just being controversial, she's just getting on a cross and trying to piss people off,' but that wasn't my intention at all … I want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon – but I want to stay alive.”

If only there had been a guillotine instead of a cross on stage.

Horrid old people have silenced the "Harrods Rocks" events at the famous UK department store in Knightsbridge. 
Apparently guitars that hang silently are ok, but whatever you do, don't play them.

You have to hand it Heather Mills McCartney and her extreme opportunist ways. Not only is she running Paul McCartney's name through the mud, but now she will be appearing on Dancing with the Stars.

This may be Jack Black's finest Disney inspired moment ever:

Why negotiate complex revenue-sharing deals to get your product some shine in movies or TV when you can have it placed on supermodel Marissa Miller's vagina in the 2007 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue? And in case you missed it, this year's issue features Beyonce on the cover.

No strangers to the world of carefully crafted controversy, New York rappers 50 Cent and Cam'Ron are getting ready to rumble, via lazy diss tracks and straight-to-YouTube videos.

50 has already lyrically scrapped with nearly every emcee in NY, as well as his ex-boyfriend Game, while Cam'Ron has called out both Jay-Z and Nas in the last year, and if anything it just made his own records sell less.



The two got into it on HOT97 radio recently, and now both are coming out guns blazing (metaphorically speaking) with "Funeral Music" and "Cuurtis" respectively.

Neither one of these guys are really exceptional on the mic to begin with, and in many ways this seems like just another weak publicity stunt to keep their names out there. Nobody seems to really care about the whole situation, other than hardcore haters or worshipers of both artists, and of course, rap bloggers.


Peep the videos and decide for yourself who won:

Video: 50 Cent "Funeral Music"
Video: Cam'Ron "Cuurtis"

Well what do we have here - a bit of grave robbing? No, there is no necrophilia here just a great label surfacing music that could stir-up an Elliott Smith revival.

On May 8th Domino Records will release a double CD of songs that Smith recorded between 1995-1997. These were Smith's salad days, some may say his most prolific period when he recorded his self-titled album and the ever popular Either/Or.

For more information keep on eye on Domino Records.

Straight outta Curitiba, in Southern Brazil, Bonde Do Role blend Bailefunk and primordial electro to create the ultimate party. The groups romper-room on speed beats and rhymes were discovered by MIA amigo DJ Diplo and were quickly signed to Domino Records.

Bonde Do Role will be lighting the desert on fire at SXSW next month, but if you cannot afford to shell out $52,000 in order attend SXSW do not fret as the groups will be doing select dates up the eastern seaboard.

"…and the chorus from Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah’ shows up absolutely out of nowhere on ‘Hum Hallelujah’; I like to imagine that the dudes in the band heard the song for the first time when they were watching Shrek."

Well, that is nice. Ozzfest will be free.

Now if they could only book bands people want to see.

I am still hopeful about that...but is anything *really* ever free?

The diamond screens were already full of Criss Angel commercials and similar content in years past.  Still, she could potentially pull this off, more power to the Osbournes if they can.

The Super Bowl halftime show has always been an exercise in overblown mediocrity. It was about the spectacle and nothing else, and shoved as much sensory-overloaded pop music into our beer-soaked skulls as possible. Nobody recognized the absurdity of Aerosmith sharing the stage with *NSYNC and Britney Spears a few years back, because we were all too wacked-out on chicken wings and Coors Lite to notice. It took Janet Jackson's bare breast in 2004 for America to wake up and realize that the halftime show was out of control.


Enter Prince. Yeah, there were tons of fireworks, a marching band, and the slightly misguided inclusion of a Foo Fighters song; regardless, Prince got it done simply by proving why he's one the world's greatest performers. If you missed the show, like me, you can still feel the man's genius in this grainy YouTube footage. I dare anyone to disagree when I say this was easily the best halftime show ever.





Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Sandra Prill hosted a show on Jones Intercable Channel 12 in Tampa, Florida back when cable access was the greatest gift the Gods of television entertainment had delivered.

Creatively titled My Show, Prill's vehicle for self-promotion featured interviews with various artist-musician types and her "interesting" renditions of popular songs - like this tonally flat version of Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You."



We also recommend the startlingly unsexy version of "Nasty Boys."
