Lady Gaga has admitted that she used to suffer from bulimia in high school. The " Marry The Night " singer stopped by the " It's Our Turn " conference at the Brentwood School in Los Angeles which was being hosted by Maria Shriver . The 25-year-old musician was surprisingly honest and open to the audience's questions. When asked about how one can deal with body image issues and how she is so confident, Gaga replied "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not [...]

A surprisingly under-the-radar offering from two of hip-hop's most famous weed smokers delivers exactly what you'd expect, and delivers it well. Snoop Dogg's career is quietly approaching its 20th anniversary and -- as far as the mainstream is concerned -- Wiz Khalifa is really just getting started, but the two men happen to be currently in a similar headspace. Having long proven that his cultural worth is measured in more than great, or at least popular, music, Snoop had spent the past three or four years settling into an increasingly playful, iconic role as a performer....

"You look different," Paloma said. As I had done nothing new with my hair, I countered her comment with a quizzical, gape-jawed stare. "You're standing up." It was true. I was vertical as opposed to the horizontal posture I had been prone to adopt for much of the past week as the result of sharing my immune system with some miserable, little bug. And several times during the week, too enfeebled with fever to do more than slump on the couch, too weary from coughing fits to even turn my head [...]

So, the clocks have been turned back, an act that still is an odd thing to me as I grew up in one of the few swaths of the US that didn't acknowledge such antics. (Paloma is like a ninja somehow resetting all of the numerous timepieces in the treehouse so swiftly, so deftly that I never see her do it, but the feat is accomplished by the time I awake) As the citizens of my hometown were ignoring the changing of the times in autumn, 1984, my friends and I had all reached our sixteenth [...]

I didn't do homework in high school. I don't know why, exactly. Part of it was the vague antipathy toward authority that is so common among adolescent boys it is a cliché. Part of it was probably my parents' fighting, separation, and eventual divorce, although that sort of story is much too neat and Freudian [...]

By the autumn of 1984, my friends and I all had our driver's licenses. Not that much could be done with them sans a mode of transport. A fair number of the kids in our high school had cars. Our small town was rural enough that it was a necessity for some of the kids living on farms in the hinterlands. (thus making the pick-up to car ratio close to 50/50 in our high school parking lot) There were also those who had inherited vehicles from older siblings and, as there was [...]

Here's a high school wheelbarrow race, and instead of being all cool and acting indifferent towards the race, two students are infinitely cooler because they tossed some baby powder onto their hands and pimp slap the hell out of the race. How much practice you think that sweet barrel roll maneuver took? [via TDW ]

The Napster and Kazaa generation has finally been fully realized through the mindstate of today's youngsters. A four year study has finally been tallied up and the results show that well under half of its voters would shell out 99¢ for their favorite hit single. Only 22% of the 4,500 participants said they'd consider paying 99¢ for a track. In contrast, 65% use P2P services to get music for free, with a mere 35% indicating that they purchase music from an online store, which is often iTunes. [...]

How does the 99¢ song fair among high school students? Not very well, according to a new study by Piper Jaffray. Only 22% of the 4,500 participants said they'd consider paying 99¢ for a track. In contrast, 65% use P2P services to get music for free, with a mere 35% indicating that they purchase music from an online store, which is often iTunes. From Fall of 2007 until now, interest in 99¢ [...]

Did you read the title? This one comes from Snoop's new one The Doggumentary, and you know the beat is straight West West. But we're most pumped about High School . It comes out on 4/20. Make plans to watch it. "Straight to dvd ya dig?"

Once I reached college - and easy access to a dozen record stores - Tuesday was indelibly stamped into my music-centric mind as new release day. Tuesday remained a linchpin of the week for me because of music well into the '90s and my thirties. But in high school, new releases would have to wait for a trek into Cincinnati as the lone store in our hometown that carried music stocked a small selection. New titles might take weeks to arrive after release to the civilized world. Music was the stuff that held [...]

I see Wiz and Snoop have really become bff's lately. The two of them are planning on doing a movie AND an album together in the near future, so, I guess this would count as the second single off of the album/soundrack titled " High School ". I cant really say if I like this track though, a little too much singing for my taste, but I'm pretty anxious to see what their movie would be like..I know for a fact it wont be in theatres though.

Got a feel good song with an up-beat hook from Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg. For those of you who didn't know, Wiz is Snoop Dogg's nephew. This song is part of the soundtrack to their new movie High School, which comes out on 4/20, no surprise there. It's a straight to DVD release, but my bets are on it being pretty hilarious. Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg- "Young, Wild And Free"

• Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg - Young, Wild And Free

Wiz and Snoop hit us with another one off the soundtrack to High School , that movie project they got coming out on 4.20.11. You need only listen to the chorus that opens up the track to know you're about to be playing this one a lot. Wiz and Snoop flow effortlessly over the uplifting piano track, and you can tell that they're having a great time working on this shit by the way they pal around on the track. I can't wait to see this movie. Wiz x Snoop - Young, Wild, and Free mediafire [...]

Following my friends' lead, I'm going to go back to high school, too. Actually, I'm going back to a specific moment that occurred during my high school years. I always believe there's a particular song for that particular moment in your life. Something to play if your life was a soundtrack. Well, Keith Urban's Days Go By was the song that was playing the first time I went driving on my own. I couldn't tell you about anything else that happened that day, week, or month, but that moment is frozen in time with Keith Urban singing. [...]

One of the cable stations is running some week-long airing of the movies in the Rocky series. I remember seeing the first movie in the theater in '76 when the film was captivating the country and I've never seen an audience more electrified . It's a stellar movie. Numbers II and III were decent popcorn flicks, but by the time I got dragged to number IV, things had reached a cringe-inducing point. That aside, I had to watch the opening montage to Rocky III when I happened across it if [...]

by teepoo This has nothing to do with the Disney musical, even though iTunes likes to replace the album artwork that way. When I first came across them, they were just a band of masked identity. However their identity has been revealed and they are the dudes from We are the City in disguise. Here's a sunny track that makes you wish you were in somewhere tropical. High School- Happy New Year MYSPACE

• High School - Happy New Year

Last year, I wrote about a band called High School , that dropped a few awesome home recorded tracks. Well, it turns out that High School isn't a real band, but the dudes from We Are the City in disguise. Now, the guys have revealed their true identities and released an EP, fittingly titled High School . When I first posted the track "Happy New Year," I said that "the band would benefit greatly from some time in the studio." Well, here it is. I previously said that it "begins with [...]
