OMG Bi-Monthly Leg Feature

Off the top of your head, who comes to mind when you think of leggy music perform singers?

TINA TURNER!! Duh!!

I mean, the lady is pushing 90 and looks better than me. I know my pops is all about her. I am too, weirdly enough... talk about inter-generational.

So, now, the queen of soul (can I call her that?) put out a career spanning set of hits called, unironically, "Tina!"

God, she's awesome. Click through to get to her official site: http://www.tinaturner.live.com

And feel free to sample here and here.

Gonzo Journalism In All It's Glory

What can I say about Mr. Hunter S. Thompson? Except, I'm pretty sure everyone who named their kids Hunter definitely read fear and loathing while stoned and possibly copulating. This man, nay, legend LIVED the American Dream! As is exploited thorougly in various movies, etc - we all know that. BUT. Now The Gonzo Tapes are out. That's Mr. Gonzo's own tapes, available for everyone to gain (some) insight to the inner workings of the man's brain. You can get a taste of the audio madness here. Oh, and look at what it all comes with:
In all seriality, i'm done for the day. I bet the gonz never got sick. dying ova heee.

Sample his melodyz (HA - INSIDE JOKE) HERE and lord knows support our youth!




LUCKY THURSDAY!!

Guess what I just got? I chance to win an iPod Touch! "Get out of town", you say? I beg to differ. The best news of all? YOU CAN TOO.

So, there's this band, right? And they just put out a new record - with me? And to promote that new record, they are giving it away. Plus an iPod touch. Yeah. That's what I said. So here goes.

KEANE, from britland, i believe, just released "Perfect Symmetry" and you can enter to win their stuff by clicking this particularly blue looking HERE.



(lolz, they are being so symmetrically ironic)

But also, while you are trying to win their gear - give them a chance and have a listen - also HERE. They are blowing up the spot.

What did I say? White through the board!

This time it's up to british crooner and total hearthrob James Morrison. Ha, with a names like THAT...I bet he never heard that one before. He's pretty touchy feely. With an album name like "Songs for You, Truths for Me" and song titles like "Nothing Ever Hurt Like You" (you can sample it here) - I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings or anything.

Lets just line them up though:

Are Beards the new heroin*?

I leave you with that. In the meantime BUY IT.

*I am convinced that heroin is responsible for some of the great musical acts this past century or two - lets see, oh, uh, robert johnson uhhh the lead singer from alice in chains...and then some. So anyway, go figure.

MORE COLORS!!

Psyche!! - No Colors hereSwinging, Sexy (Mustochiod) Surfer Dude is up to some new shenanigans. Donavon Frankenreiter just released his third album - second for Lost Highway, which is a plus, in my opinion - "Pass It Along" and it's, to no one's surprise, really, exactly what you would expect; swinging, sexy, relaxed and chill, reminiscent of some beach you were at once for a hot minute thinking to yourself, shit - I wish I would live here. Phew. I was gonna go on, but my grammar skills need to be honed a little still. In any case, if you’re about to crack open that tequila sunrise in a bottle wishing you were in California instead of steadily cooling NY then you can’t make a better choice than Mr. Frankenreiter’s new offering. On the other hand – if you’re looking for some real, insightful sh*t, then…yo, you know you get the best insights when you’re chilling and don’t have a paper and a pad on you – chose Frankenreiter.

Have a listen, why don't you? It just may make you want to visit a hilton. By the way - as a surfer/bum (like someone i know) I would be outraged at the fact that they used Donavon's music for a hilton commercial. Damn it. That wouldn't be very chill though, bro, so, I'll leave it at that. Steaming on the inside. slowly.

To vent some steam - here is an added bonus:




HA - He's a dirt hippy too, and look what happened to him. And also, thanks to someone else for finding a (more awesome and shorter) video. PEACE.

oh SN*P - More Old School TV

- Thanks to the Minisode Network I can now check out old TV shows in no time at all. This is the episode of "What's Happening!!" about an election. Guess what? We're about to have an election too!! - Coincidence? I think so, maybe. But anyway, kick back, relax and let some wholesome TV seep into your brain.

First Hip Hop Post EVER!!

I'll try and not let it be the last one cus HEY - I kind of like this. These dudes may rap about cappucinos - yet in a styling and intelligent way. Plus, their sense of fashion is on key. Also, I feel strangley attracted to light, dark skinned women now. Uhoh - jungle fever. But enough about women cus this duo "holds it down" as they say. Enjoy some fly beats and rhymes and check them out



Honestly? I wish more people would make music like this.

UPDATE: I googled terrorist scarfs - they are called "keffiyeh." That was wrong of me.

MORE Country. In Fact - 20 Hits of It!

Ha - get it? Like, Meth.

Oh lord, now they done it. The NOW franchise FINALLY came out with a country collection. How many of you have been waiting for this since the first NOW compilation came out some time in the stone ages? (I bet it had that "Macarena" song on it. Good lord i hated that song.) So, luckily, NOW they're back, pun totally intended. The CD includes "hits" from Carrie Underwood, holler, and Keith Sweat, I mean, Urban and middle America loves it. All I know is that I heard something about cold beer and god being a great fit. In reality, that is all I ever need to hear...I'll pull a Palin and get back to you about the details. In the meantime, go out and buy the record and then you can go download 5 more songs some where. SPECIAL SECRET CODE. psssssst! And look, this Carrie is hot too.

Carrie Rodriguez Is An Awesome Musician (And Pretty Cute Too)!


OH LOOK!! More hot legs - although this time it seems they are clothed. But BELIEVE me. I saw them in real life. Plus this one plays a not everyday instruments as well: fiddle. And she's good at it - first person experience. Although that's being kept on the back burner on this record and her songwriting skills are the focus. And DAMN IT she's cute. But for real, her musician ship is undisputed. She did put out four records with Chip Taylor.

Have a LISTEN
or a LOOK
and definitely BUY
UPDATE!!:
I TOLD YOU SO!!
