New Kanye West - "Anyway"
After complaining about the latest 808s leak -- too brief and barely audible through LowKey's car stereo -- we received this full-length radio rip via e-mail (thanks Steven). Decent audio quality if you overlook the DJ drops. Mechanical beats and modular synths give "Anyway" that now familiar eighties vibe, with a throbbing intro that recalls Missing Persons' "Words." This time there's a group chorus helping Kanye get his love out of lockdown. Between the paranoia and the Robocopping, this girl honestly doesn't seem worth the drama, but Kanye is intent on making it work. No Auto-Tune on this one! (Just kidding, there is totally Auto-Tune.) Kanye's 808s Album Cover, And A Snippet Of "Anyway"
Kanye West is nothing if not artsy. As rumored in various sneaker and furniture forums, and now confirmed by Amazon (Amazon doesn't lie), LP4's artwork features the deflated, heart-shaped red balloon seen on "Love Lockdown"'s cover. On the left border there's a color bar similar to what you'd see on a Peter Gabriel album. So now you have a .jpg for your four 808s ID3 tags -- "Robocop," "Coldest Winter," "Heartless," and the aforementioned first single "Love Lockdown." Ready for leak #5? New Streets Video - "Heaven For The Weather"
The latest clip in support of Everything Is Borrowed won't make you cry like last time. Mike is in character as Dr. Skinner (not that one), a man who we're told has been "attacked, venerated, questioned and praised." We see him onstage selling self-help T.J. Mackey-style and signing copies of his book Go Low. This is the rapper's grown up album, and in his maturation Mike's learned to appreciate heaven for the weather and hell for the company. Fair enough, but I'm not buying his book. Patterson Hood Aims To Get Out The Vote With An MP3
Patterson always speaks to the big issues of the day, whether it's Thriller's anniversary or demanding records, so you knew he wasn't gonna sit this one out. Tomorrow's Election Day and the Drive-By Truckers' main man will be damned if you don't exercise your right to vote for a president your baby girl can be proud of. Something along those lines. Actually it's this song, "Uncle Phil & Aunt Phyllis In The Month After The Election," that was written under the aforementioned circumstances, the week after Bush's win in '04, when Hood found himself in "semi-shock and near-depression as my daughter's birth was impending and I was depressed to think of her born into the world during a Bush Presidency." Whatever the outcome the next four years won't bring another term of Bush's presidency (not in name, anyway), but still Patterson's giving away this Election Season song -- featuring his dad David and fellow Truckers Brad Morgan and Johnny Neff -- as a gift and as a reminder to get your ass to the polls. There's definitely a lyric dealing with a Clinton speech causing Phyllis to menstruate for 16 days straight, so it's that sorta song, whatever that sorta song is. The Curious Case Of That "Hard Day's Night" ChordThe intro chord to the Beatles' classic has always had an impossible sound: there were allegedly no overdubs, but definitely more notes than John, Paul, and George could've played. Professor Brown of Dalhousie University cracked the chord recently, and it only took him six months and crazy mathematical techniques. The answer? George Martin played five notes on the piano. Finally you can get some sleep. Listen and learn at Wired. Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks & Blitzen Trapper Cover James Gang
Adding another entry to the canon unexpected covers, Steve Malkmus & the Jicks teamed up with stage mates and fellow Portland residents Blitzen Trapper to put a spin on James Gang's James Gang Ride Again classic "Funk #49." The hootenanny took place at the Pageant in St. Louis this past Saturday. It involves as much awkward dancing as it does inventive percussion -- see SM's bottle water, for instance. The Hood Internet Mixtape Vol. 3The Hood Internet's new extended Girl Talk-on-Ritalin mix includes 34 indie rock vs hip-hop mashups -- Ludacris vs She & Him, T-Pain vs TVOTR, R. Kelly vs Rogue Wave, Lil Kim vs MGMT, etc., etc. Who thinks Lil Kim would kick MGMT's asses? Put your hands in the air. New BPA (Feat. Emmy The Great) Video - "Seattle"
Norman Cook is usually Fatboy Slim (aka the 92nd Best DJ In The World) but right now he's the Brighton Port Authority, and the BPA is all about collabs with talented people like David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Martha Wainwright, and here, CMJ charmer Emmy The Great. We sampled a "Seattle" stream the other day, but the video for the track, which takes the folk out of Emmy and puts in her some wide open, America-referencing electro pastures, is just a closeup of her face in various shades of makeup and slowly mashed up with itself in the cubist tradition. Clues (Ex-Unicorns + Ex-Arcade Fire) Prep Debut, Offer Sample, Go On Tour
More specifically, Alden Penner (aka Alden Ginger, aka not Nick Thorburn) and ex-Arcade Firer Brendan Reed plus other Montreal musicians Ben Borden, Lisa Gamble, and Nick Scribner. Supposedly their live shows involve multiple drummers and "a bent Commodore 64," but I haven't seen it, so nothing's verified. The group formed in 2007, laid low by not starting a MySpace page of Facebook (whoa), and are releasing their debut on hometown label Constellation in Spring 2009. You can take a listen to album track "Perfect Fit," which takes after its horned father, though with some bigger dynamics in the vocal line and instrumental breakdowns. New Bruce Springsteen - "Working On A Dream" (Live In Ohio)
Last week Bruce Springsteen got in the Halloween spirit and spent "A Night With The Jersey Devil." Yesterday, feeling election day inch closer, he spent an afternoon at a Barack Obama rally in Cleveland. He played a six-song set that included the debut of a new one, "Working On A Dream," on which he was backed up Patti Scialfa and his own "professional whistling." It's a love song, but he dedicated it to "Senator Obama" because he loves Senator Obama, who he introduced to the crowd after he finished his performance. We have the song by Bruce The Boss: This 10-Year-Old Guitar Prodigy Plays "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Really WellAnd also a little bit like it's a flamenco song. Watch at Videogum. When I was 10 I was pretty good at not wetting the bed, so I too know what it's like to be a young master. New Q-Tip (Feat. Norah Jones) - "Life Is Better"
This slinky funk, sample-stitched new song from Q-Tip is pretty much the jam. "Life Is Better" features Norah Jones, she of cool covers and platinum wigged fame, singing the track's main motif as if she's already years deep in the new soul/hip-hop-hook racket. Actually it's NoJo's first second such collab, and she sorta dominates the playing time with Kamaal backing her up (after two minutes) with just one long verse. It's a good one, though, and might give you an idea why the LA Times is calling his new album The Renaissance Tip's best work since Tribe's Midnight Marauders (they said it). R.I.P. Descendents' Frank NavettaSadly, Frank Navetta, who co-founded the Descendents with Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson in 1979, died on Halloween "after becoming ill over the course of a few days." Read the surviving Descendents' statement. Blast Milo Goes To College. Explain to Wikipedia why his entry should not be deleted. of Montreal Cover R.E.M.
Well, technically, of Montreal covered R.E.M.'s cover of the Clique's "Superman." The Texas group, led by songwriter Gary Zekley, recorded it first in 1969 (a very of Montreal year) and then R.E.M. popularized via Life's Rich Pageant in 1986. Regardless, on Halloween in the City Of Brotherly Love, the people in of Montreal not named Kevin Barnes dressed up like the Man Of Steel -- Barnes remained in his indie-rock diaper -- and gave us a new spin on the track. DJ AM Daft Punks HARD Fest
Adam Michael Goldstein, aka Los Angeles-based DJ AM, aka the guy who survived that recent plane crash with Travis Barker, made his Halloween costume count this year: Rumors were spreading online that Daft Punk were the "special guests" on Halloween night's dance-packed HARD fest, which took place at the HARD mansion in L.A. Confirmed performers included Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Crystal Castles, Soulwax, etc. Instead of Daft Punk proper, at 2:55 AM they got this: Death Cab Bring Lame Costumes To Tonight Show
While you were out dressed like Ashley Todd or Barack Obama as a Mac Genius, Death Cab donned some lower-key disguises for their Friday night appearance on the Leno show -- Nick Harmer as Zack Galifianakis, Ben Gibbard as a man with a 31" waist and cheekbones, etc. Oh right, that's just what they look like these days ... so then it was just a Halloween-free Halloween performance in L.A. for those old lovers of L.A.. (Really guys, how about at least an oversized scorpion on stage?) The song is "Cath...," the sound is good, and the onstage movement not very screengrab friendly. More Recent Articles |

"Best Week Ever" - 9 new articles
…OF THE DAY
ICYMI: Christian Finnegan Plays With Presidential ToysBWE's own Christian Finnegan showed up on the Today Show this morning to offer his opinion on Obama/McCain Cabbage Patch dolls, cereals, Coke bottles, and every other presidential object that just might sway undecided voters in the wee hours before Election Day. I know I sure wasn't gonna cast a vote until I had a look at those sweet John McCain skateboards... BEST WEEK EVER: PFT Presents The Week That WasThis week's Best Week Ever is very special to me personally, not only because it is a hilarious show hosted by Paul F. Tompkins that also happens to pay me a salary to blog for their website, but also because my office best friend Norman Baker is featured! And slapped! Also, Rob Huebel visits the set of Dancing with the Stars, and shares a very sensual exchange with Bruno, the hot mildly-European judge. Check Out This F*cking Gay Article About Internet Anger
And though there are any number of bloggers and commenters who attempt to keep their postings and responses on a civil level, all too often interactive Web sites descend into ad hominem attacks, insults and plain old name-calling.Very observant, Sherlock's retarded gay cousin. "Ad hominem attacks?" Exactly the kind of thing someone with a small d*ck would say. You hear me? I said your d*ck is small. There are even whole sites devoted to venting, such as justrage.com (one screed there was titled, "I don't give a flying f***, so f*** you") and mybiggestcomplaint.com. This is not a world Emily Post would want to be caught in after dark.F*ck Emily Post. And f*ck you. Why am I wasting my time with this gay sh*t again? "Soooo much pointless anger and profanity on the internet.... oooooohhhhhh!!!" F*cking f*ckers. "The Internet can be a great tool," said Sara Black, a professor of health studies at St. Joseph's University who takes a particular interest in online bullying. "Like any tool, it can also be misused."Psh -- speaking of misused tools, Sara Black... Seriously, what are you c**kmasters bitching about?? "Some people are just bitter and angry," said psychiatrist Dr. Terry Eagan... "Sometimes, they're against everyone, other times against a specific group. That person can get really stimulated and can say all sorts of horrible things."I hope your family dies, Dr. Terry Eagan. AHHHHHH!!!!! I HATE ALL OF YOUUUUUUU!!!! ESPECIALLY DR. TERRY EAGANNNNNN!!!! More like, Dr. Gay Sh*tfuck, am I right??? AHHHHHHH UR ALL ISSSS GAY I QUIT. Who Is This Woman On The Cover Of Vanity Fair?I think if you stare long enough, you'll probably figure it out, but honestly, I saw this several times on various blogs today and did not ONCE recognize who it was, until I saw a headline clearly stating it was her. ![]() ![]() Heidi Klum Is Hot.Heidi Klum and Seal went a bit overboard this Halloween, scaring the hell out of us with their combination Angry Vishnu / Hawaiian Pedro Cerrano couples costume: ![]() The Real Housewives of Atlanta Are Keeping It Classy & Keeping It Freaky.

Heidi Klum As Kali Scared The Shit Out Of Me
Kali: A Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction. (Thanks wiki) The bitch you are seeing is…….Heidi Klum. Uhm- it’s quite frightening actually. I don’t have much to say except..I’m pretty sure that her kids probably hid in the closet as soon as she came out. Wait…her kids always do that when the bitch wakes up! So yeah. Kali. Wow, damn. Make-up sure does wonders. If I had her body I would have gone as Mystique. Criss Angel and Holly Madison ARE Dating
I like this picture better than Holly sucking on Hugh Hefner’s overworked lips. Holly must like kissing the lips of someone relatively her age rather than someone who could identify with her grandfather. Anywho, this picture says it all. Holly and Criss are a package. If they decide to marry…that would be cool and expected. Same goes if they decide to have a munchkin of their own. I could see Holly being a mom. Actually, a milf. Congrats kiddies on being together and coming out with it. Damn I'm Old: Celebrity Birthdays

Those douchebags over at CNN.com who apparently have nothing better to do in their worthless lives threw together 


It's been an entire 4 years since we last voted for a president, and for our younger readers, this might be your first time voting in a big election. This campaign has been crazy, wacky, horrifying, vomit-inducing, hilarious and exciting, all at the same time. So I'm sure you've barely had a moment to mentally and physically prepare yourself for the big day. Did you get your election day haircut yet? Do you know what you're going to wear? Have you figured out which Starbucks is closest to your voting venue? Have you watched all the candidates' appearances on late night comedy shows? THIS IS IT, people. Are you ready? Every election, I make sure to spend the entire night before preparing and carefully going over my voting strategy, so that when I vote - it REALLY COUNTS. Don't live in a swing state? That doesn't mean you can't make this election day special. Feel free to print this out and tack it up on your 'frig tonight.
