damn. i remember when me and brian were up in that small ass cubicle at def jam, and shakir walked past. i was being stupid when i yelled, "i wanna work for you shakir!" and he turned around and laughed. nobody in that building was that chill, and you already know who i'm talking about when i say that. people wouldn't even want you to hop in the elevator at the same time as them. he was the guy who would say, "yo, hop in here son!" so although i didn't know the guy too well, i did [...]

What is evil? Is there one definitive definition? Moral corruption, the cause of pain or suffering, disregard for the welfare of others, a pointy tail and horns, wearing-a-William Shatner-mask-that-has-been-alt ered-to-look-scary-and- brandishing-a-giant steak knife...... are these the characteristics of someone (or thing) who is evil? If so then I feel that my list below is more than accurate. List of evil things: Wal-Mart consumerism eco-apathy Steven Harper Timbaland's work with Chris Cornell [...]
Minneapolis-based retro psych-pop act The Deaths were featured in a scene from HBO's new southern vampire saga "True Blood". Listen closely, as the music is in the background, and if you do, you'll hear a song from the band's record Choir Invisible . As to what song it is, I'll let you readers figure out what track is playing :) Buy it here. The Deaths MySpace Page (Jonathan Graef) jon@minneapolisfuckingrocks.co m
posted by Matt: This is real. This is an honest to god commercial that people have paid to put on television. And why not? Why wouldn't you want to buy a bed from the same guy that will later strangle you to death in it, cut out the middle man. There are two key points to watch out for in this. Two points when you, the viewing public, are actually being threatened by this man. Threat #1: 00:34 - "Did you hear what I said? Free." [...]
Those uproarious chaps over at Metal Inquisition have compiled what they claim to be the Ultimate Florida Death Metal Mix (and, really, it's tough to argue with them). The maverick known only as "Gene Hoglan's Balls" writes: "I love all kinds of death metal, but if I had to pick just one to listen to for [...]

The Plot , as the San Diego noise-skronk band were affectionately known, broke up two years ago. We are terribly saddened by the news that Willy Graves (above, second from right), the bassist who provided endless bottom levels for their incessant screeches and playfully pseudo-free-jazz-on-meth arrangements, passed away Sunday at the age of 28. In a statement from Graves's former bandmates , no word on the cause of death was revealed. During our years together, we felt more like a family or a gang than we did a band. Every high and every [...]

NEW TO US: White Lies, 'Death' B-sides words: Jamie Milton As far as we're aware, White Lies' are going to be the "sound of the summer" any time soon. The sound of alleyways at 1AM, the sound of Brixton outside Alabama-Redneck-Chicken, again at 1AM maybe. Their sound is becoming so dark it's unnatural, frightening almost. That's certainly the indication of the debut we'll have upon us early next year anyway. Right now though, fans have the first chance in a while to hear some new White Lies tunes, and [...]

Metal Inquisition posted the below video of former Death drummer/current Howard Stern lackey Richard Christy on CNN having a serious discussion of Lehman Brothers' declaration of bankruptcy. And by "having a serious discussion," I mean "making out with another dude." Well, at least he didn't yell "Baba Booey." -AR Related posts: INTERVIEW WITH EX-DEATH / EX-ICED EARTH DRUMMER RICHARD [...]

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: White Lies - Death words: Jamie Milton "Our songs come from a higher power, one we're not in control of." Those words spoken to the Guardian a few months back could be complete utter toss. Or it could be that White Lies really don't have it in them to replicate the genius that is 'Death', a defining single for this year. The video below is predictably dark, predictably being that if you're fond of White Lies by now, you'll know what to expect. Apparently [...]

Speaking of Minneapolis bands and live music, psych-pop devotees The Deaths have posted two new songs on their MySpace Page , one of which is a performance that was taped at the Current earlier this year. That song is the waltz "Turn for the Worst", which finds the band at its most pop-filled, with a sound that is redolent of the 60s (particularly mid-period Beatles). The Deaths also posted the demo of "Revolution" (no relation to Chairman Mao or the number 9), a tension-filled, but more laid-back as well, psychdelic number with a sighing keyboard line much like MBV.

Another one done gone, son. Jerry Reed, who put the funk into country, died Monday in Nashville. The first time I heard him was on a family road trip in an Oldsmobile station wagon the early-seventies. "When You're Hot, You're Hot" was in heavy rotation on the Delco radio and resulted in instantaneous family sing-a-longs, much to my Mother's dismay. Flags in Fluville are flying at half mast. Download: "If The Good Lord's Willing" mp3 by Jerry Reed, 1955. available on Here I Am [...]

I'll spare you the In A World Where... jokes, but with all due respect: Condolences and deepest sympathies to the friends and family of one of the industry's most prolific voice talents. Don LaFontaine's body of work encompasses not only voicing movies, television, and radio; but also includes acting, writing, and duties as executive producer. His voice has graced over 5,000 movie trailers and over 300,000 radio and television commercials. Even Drum and Bass. Indeed , the voiceover King. Another legend. Rest In Peace.
Since Lindsay posted her last, Micheal, her father, has been back on to his blab-outlet of choice, X17 , with this classy riposte: My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified Dina's attorney. Let's see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. THIS will show her true colors! Now, kids, that's respect - you actually wait until your parent has expired before issuing the challenge to your ex-wife and kids. Nobody warms to a guy who starts [...]
