I saw Christina Cramer of In Cahoots in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. She was smoking a cigarette and trying to chill before her show. She saw me, stamped out her smoke, "Dave! Hey, hold on. I haven't put you on the list yet." I stopped. We shook hands, walked into the building. "I'm glad you got another guitar player," I said. I'd seen them once before at the High Dive on a non-writing evening in the fall, and they had only one guitar back then, Christina's guitar. Given [...]

Sasquatch! music festival just released its 2012 line up, and those of us who bought tickets pre-announcement have plenty of reason to be grinning ear to ear. To anyone not already in possession of the coveted tickets, I recommend you get on it. With bands like The Shins, Beck, Metric, Silversun Pickups, Bon Iver, The Sheepdogs, Jack White of The White Stripes and Jack Black of Tenacious D , all playing in the stunning backdrop of The Gorge, in Washington State, Sasquatch ! is gearing up to be one major [...]

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I never liked Tenacious D - fuck, dude, I loved Tenacious D. I watched their show on HBO, I bought their first album the day it came out in 2001, and I saw them live in concert. I though they were great. But then Jack Black way outstayed [...]

Yeah, seriously. If they're not browsing /b/ or Reddit, males between the ages of 11-17 will probably spend at least 48 seconds doing something else on the Internet today. That's right, rock-duo Tenacious D are back...even though their last work defined commercial flop. Back before Jack Black had tarnished his career with faults like Gulliver's Travels , Year One , and yes, Nacho Libre , the D carried a lot of [...]

When you get an email from a friend that reads, "post on Sly asap. Boom. Get your rocket sauce ready and start doing your cock pushups," you know you're in for a treat. So, because Ben Smallen asked nicely, here is the first song from the upcoming album by The D. I really don't know anything about " Rize of the Fenix " other than it heralds the possibility of the grand return of The Tenacious D, the mock-rock duo comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. [...]

Just like the Phoenix...um, I mean Fenix, Tenacious D will rise again! Or so says Jack Black in a new track from the D appropriately called "Rize Of The Fenix" (via CoS ). It's a short track that doesn't even breach 50 seconds and all acoustic as Black sings about the band's woes after their 2006 film, The Pick Of Destiny , was panned by the critics. But the band's resilience continues to spiral upwards as we should expect to get a brand new album from Black and Kyle Gass in May. [...]

Who is taking Sean Penn 's sandwiches? The latest Funny Or Die video celebrates the William J. Clinton Foundation 's 10th anniversary. It is packed with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, alongside former U.S. president Bill Clinton , no less. Christin Trogan , who produced the video, said each star dedicated about two hours to the project and that it was shot over five days last month. While it appears most of [...]

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks premiered the music video for their first single "Senator," which is a super silly clip brought together by a creative force consisting of Daily Show writer Scott Jacobson, Jack Black, Gary Cole ( Office Space ), and of course, Malkmus himself. Black plays a sleazy senator who desperately tries to get re-elected. Oh, and the last scene is a lot more disturbing than I was expecting to see. Watch: Also watch: "No One Is As I Are Be" [...]

​Hey! Yo! What's up? The Week That Was is back. Sure, we've been away for a good long while, but too much crazy shit's gone down this week. Enjoy!

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks have premiered the music video for " Senator ". The track is off their Beck -produced album ' Mirror Traffic ". The music video was directed by " Daily Show " writer Scott Jacobsen and stars Jack Black as the less than honest senator. Watch above.

Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks premiered their impressive new video for "Senator," with Jack Black playing the aforementioned part. David Berman spotting as well.

Stephen Malkmus ' Mirror Traffic has been available for almost two months, yet it's only today that its lead single, "Senator", has gotten a proper video. And proper it is: the vid is a hilarious send up on the song's title character, a corrupt politician played by none other than Jack Black. The video, as might be expected, is pretty damned over the top. It features such notable moments as Black doing lines of coke, shocking himself in the groin with a cattle prod, and humping the floor at a hipster [...]

Video: Senator - Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks Jack Black é um senador viciado e louco no novo video de Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. A faixa está no álbum Mirror Traffic lançado esse ano.

"Senator," the lead single and opening track from Stephen Malkmus' new album has been floating around for a while. But now it has a video, starring Jack Black and Gary Cole, directed by Daily Show writer Scott Jaobsen - and I'll be damned if it doesn't give the song a new lease of life. Rather than me trying to give a quick summary, I think it's best you just watch it below. "Senator" is from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks' new album Mirror [...]

A música dispensa apresentações, e você provavelmente já sabe a letra (no mínimo, o refrão) de Senator , um dos destaques do álbum mais recente de Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks . Mas agora a faixa ganha um protagonista, e no papel do controverso senador temos... Jack Black . O ator, comediante e músico encarna no vídeo oficial de Senator um "político politicamente incorreto", trazendo altas doses de drogas, armas de choque e constrangimento. Gary Cole, do filme Office Space, uma lhama e toda a banda The Jicks também marcam presença [...]

Jack Black plays the title character in the instantly classic video for the uncensored version of Stephen Malkmus and the Jick's "Senator". In the four minute clip, directed by Daily Show writer Scott Jacobson, you'll also see Office Space boss Gary Cole playing a guitar in a cowboy hat, Malkmus showing off the length of his middle finger, and (spoiler!!!) the effects of doing way too much cocaine. Check out the clip below, via Bill Simon's Grantland . Malkmus and co.'s latest LP, Mirror [...]

The Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks song " Senator " has a video now, and it's a doozy. Jack Black, hamming it up hardcore as always, plays an unstable, cattle prod-wielding politician who tries to party with his much-younger campaign aides. Things, as you'd imagine, do not go well. Gary Cole, the boss from Office Space , gets to make some amazing guitar-faces as Black's sidekick, and the final shot is one for the ages. Daily Show writer Scott Jacobson directs, and a few other comedy-world types make appearances. Watch it and download the song [...]

Hood films are a jarring eviction notice for traditional Civil Rights rhetoric and, possibly, leadership -- in other words, "What has the Civil Rights movement done for me lately?" The explosion of the "hood film" genre in late 20th century African American cinema arguably doubled as an extension of the street performances of the 1960s and blaxploitation films of the 1970s, while ushering in a new vehicle of post-Civil Rights black expression accessible to a wider, whiter, mainstream audience. Powerful, gripping narratives of urban poverty, disenfranchisement, hustle, and, ultimately, (young) black manhood, hood films thrived in the early to [...]
