Issac Hayes died. He was 65. I’m sick of writing about this sort of thing and I think we all know what he contributed to the world etc. So you should probably just check out this New York Times article on it.
Bernie Mac died today at the age of 50 due to complications from pneumonia. This comes as a shock to me, as I always had compared Bernie Mac to that of a strong Ox of a “King of Comedy”. Bernie came a long way from “Moesha” and his own “Bernie Mac Show” all the way to “Bad Santa” and the “Ocean’s Eleven” series. He was always funny and never a sell out. If I could somehow get the voice in my head to sound like his, I would.

Well, we just got through the spectacle that was the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and we already have, (as I suspected) our first bummer story. Apparently a Chinese man attacked two American tourists at the Drum Tower in Beijing and managed to kill one of them. He then threw himself from the building and died. No medals. Just shitty news.
Anyone else wanna place a bet one what the next controversial story/tragedy will be?
Hey Arlington, good news. Sunday, August 17th Lubber Run Amphitheater is going to be hosting a sweet multi-media event, which you should check out because it’s FREE and should be a nice summer evening and you need something to do before you end up at Galaxy Hut right? Read the flyer below for a high brow explanation of what to expect. All I know is I’ll be there and it should be a good time, see you there.
DC showed it’s true blue and brown boring colors once again last night at the god-forsaken Red and Black, when literally no one showed up for the Black Diamond Heavies. It was a downright travesty of a show, which is never a surprise if you unfortunately have to find yourself at DC9, Red and Black or Rock N Roll Hotel.
The genius scientists over at Buddyhead have graced the world with an invaluable tool. Dr. Wilhelm Von Schusterbauer has unleashed the Magnificent Pitchfork Tranlation Apparatus upon the world and now we can all get right to the point of those wordy reviews over there. Unfortunately, it won’t stop the masses from swallowing a bunch of indie bullshit.
Apparently the Buddyhead gossip page is also coming back, which is awesome because I can’t wait to call Fred Durst up and ask him what happened to his mind.
When you’re as questionable a celebrity as Kid Rock is, sometimes you have to prove it to the public that u keeps it real. This can sometime mean beating the shit out of some dude in a Waffle House-esque establishment. Here is the lame security cam footage of Kid Rock damn near jumping out his white track suit to smash a fool with his crew.
So the new (yawn) animated (weren’t they all?) Star Wars movie “The Clone Wars” is coming out August 15th. If the animated Anakin is a better actor than Hayden Christensen, then I say he get the chance to star in some other feature films. What about animated Anakin in “Factory Girl” as Bob Dylan?

Every Tuesday of every week until the record industry finally croaks, a ton of shit becomes available to purchase. This week, if you can find a record store, you should be able to cop a bunch of lame schwag ranging from half-assed reissues to Albert Hammond Jr. (Whatever, I’ll check it out). There is one item coming out tomorrow that I most definitely would/will buy, though I’m afraid I won’t feel the narcotic rush of an impulse buy.
Zulu Pearls are going to be fucking up your airwaves and streaming internet signals this Sunday LIVE on UMD RADIO. The band will be performing a set within the studio, spinning some fresh ones and probably getting fined by the FCC. The fun starts at 6 ish and goes on for a while. Check the UMD RADIO website for more details.
