Yep, there is footage of "I Kissed A Girl" singer KATY PERRY topless floating around the internet. But not in the way most people would immediately think. Ms. Perry is taking part in a charity called Keep A Breast to help raise money for breast cancer. Celebs and musicians have molds of their torso's taken, these molds are then auctioned off to raise money for the charity. Travis McCoy , from Gym Class Heroes (and Katy's boyfriend) will put some art on Perry's mold before it's auctioned off, making one [...]
"Guilty as Charged" is a decent collabo with The Guys of Gym Class Heroes and Estelle. Both Estelle and GCH are joining the Roots on a tour starting september 6th through November 1st! Sounds like a good Lineup. Check the Dates HERE
ARTIST: Gym Class Heroes feat. Estelle TITLE: "Guilty As Charged" WEB DEBUT: Aug. 20, 2008 ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: "Guilty As Charged" is apparently the only track on the Gym Class Heroes' upcoming album The Quilt , and after hearing this track, I'd love to hear more collaborations between the British singer and the upstate New York outfit. Unlike the album's other leaks, "Guilty" is a loose-limbed R & B jam with a go-go-inspired, piano-assisted and a crazy horn break right near the [...]

Gordon Smart - and, to be fair, The Times both claim that Joss Stone has been asked to record the theme song for Barack Obama's campaign - although, curiously, the story doesn't appear in any American media. The Times, at least, manages to keep fairly sober in its report, but Gordon gets a bit over-excited: Democrat candidate Mr Obama approached her personally because he was impressed by her appeal to both black and white voters in America. Really? He approached her personally , did he? Joss is [...]
![Hip-hop heavyweights the Roots are going ... [Upcoming Tours]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1195405_lg.jpg)
Hip-hop heavyweights the Roots are going on a co-headlining tour with the Gym Class Heroes, an announcement that made me say "huh" when I first heard it. After the whole outcry over the Roots' track with Patrick Stump , I can't help but wonder what the crowds at these shows will be like, and just how many people will wind up sticking around for both bands. (Yes, yes, to those of you who would say that people should open their minds, I agree, but this is in no way a perfect world—especially now, when people are encouraged to constantly [...]
Ah, Warped Tour… every teenage scenester's festival of choice. A sensory overload in the oft-blistering heat, as well as a bit of a surreal experience as it is sometimes difficult to believe one is seeing so many exceptional bands in one day. I began by checking out MTV darling Shwayze, accompanied by the ever-greasy Cisco Adler [...]
It's hard to believe that the members of This Is Ivy League are from the emo/rock band Cobra Starship. It's like a tractor trailer transforming into an economic hybrid, except more like emo transforming into twee. Has the Salvation Army ever even been a competitor with Hot Topic? Regardless, This is Ivy League deliver some gentle timeless pop that is certain to find a spot in your collection in between Kings of Convenience and Belle and Sebastian.

About eight hours of my Saturday were spent in the general environs of Long Island's Nassau Coliseum, whose parking lot played host to the New York area stop of the skate/punk/emo/exercises in branding festival known as the Warped Tour. Not only were there some 100 bands playing condensed sets during the course of those eight hours, there were merch tents (one for each band on the traveling bill), signings, acoustic sets, petitions to sign, skaters performing tricks, free energy drinks, pro-vegetarianism propaganda, shutter-shade vendors, and a store with Barack Obama-branded items. Not to mention the chance to play Rock [...]
Today was warped tour buffalo which is actually in the Darien Center which is actually right next to Six Flags. So me and the crew slid into six flags and went on superman the ride. I'm kind of afraid rollercoasters. I don't know if you're able to tell or not haha. Rollercoaster ride on warped tour from skeet skeet on Vimeo . The show today was really fun, had a lot of kids out to support which is nice. [...]
Video: Gym Class Heroes "Peace Sign / Index Down" essentially u're flipping yourself aren't u
So the day I've longed for this past summer has gone and past. Off the bat the verdict is good, and I want to give a special thanks to the guys at Warped for supplying me with tickets and photo passes. Now due to certain circumstances I arrived about an hour and a half late, and as such, missed three of the bands I was looking forward to seeing; including Automatic Loveletter, that was a disappointment. But I still caught a lot of great performances and will recap my experience with you all. [...]
![Here's Hoping The Gym Class Heroes Guy Never Develops A Distaste For Hall & Oates [Say It Isn't So]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1157810_lg.jpg)
It's arty, instead of cartoony like this guy's "Weird Al" Yankovic tattoo . It's subtle, unlike the full-back Adam Duritz tattoo . But still, there's something a little unsettling about the new tattoo sported by Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, which depicts Hall & Oates on each hand. "I guess my obssession with H&O has gotten a little out of control.....Fuck it, They're my idols," he writes of his new ink, which he got while he was I guess bored on the Warped Tour. Which is all well and good, but won't that make the "so, what's [...]

Things were a tad slow at the MetalSucks Mansion this week, whatwith a lot of the U.S. still on holiday - but between bong rips and acid trips we somehow still found time to post about some events that went on this week: David Lee Roth got pulled over for speeding as he was trying to rush to the hospital for an alleged allergic reaction to nuts; or did he ? Thousands of dental hygienically challenged guys with mullets are running around Oklahoma wearing Ratt and Ozzy concert shirts from [...]
Fall Out Boy covering Pantera , part deux: at a Warped Tour show recently, emo/pop/whatever tween sensations Gym Class Heroes played about a minute and a half of Lamb of God's "Laid to Rest." Somehow I think this actually might be kind of cool; everyone knows the chorus to "Walk" thanks to the corporate sodomization of Dimebag's death, but Lamb of God? A bit more obscure, despite the Guitar Hero nod. Proof: the utter silence in the audience. Beautiful. Gym Class Heroes just earned some serious cred. -VN [Thanks: [...]
