Together, they become the equivalent of Mecha-Shiva and do battle with the hip-hop genre. The result? Well, see for yourself...  Myko Slim Myko Slim feat Yung Joc – "Give It 2 U": Phitzy: Tracks like this are a dime a dozen. Watch MTV Base for more than an hour and no doubt you'll hear at least five tracks that are indistinguishable from Mr. Slim's recent effort. Its particular subject matter and sound make it more RnB than hip-hop, but hey, who's splitting hairs? If I was cutting up a rug of a Saturday night, pissed as a fart and in the mood to show off my shoddy robot skills, I'd bop to it like there was no tomorrow. I guess that counts for something. Domo Arigato, Mr. Myko. Aaron: It's got a good beat, I'd dance to it. But there is nothing distinguishing this from anything else. I guess that was the point though. They obviously wanted to make a song that could be slipped into a DJ's setlist without causing alarm to anyone. However it can also be easily ignored for the exact same reasons and I suggest that's what you should do here. Categorized as: Music and Reviews

Here we have a counter to anyone who ever said that it was the advent of music videos that corrupted youth. I don't ever remember seeing this on MTV: a band miming the playing of their instruments while the host of the show indulged his weird masochistic and trampling fantasies with a bunch of pretty girls.

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. It's hard for me to get my head around this, so I'm just going to lay it out for you like this...with a question. What happens when veterans of the much-beloved 2 Skinnee Js join forces with a Bee Gees metal tribute band (named Tragedy) to pay tribute to Michael Jackson? See what I mean? The brain just sort of...shuts down and slumps to one side when faced with such a question. But it's not rhetorical. The answer is: Dangerous... the All-Metal Michael Jackson Tribute Band. Here, an audience vid. Not the best quality, but it will definitely get the point across. Direct link for the feedreaders. You can get more info and find show dates on their MySpace page. You can also hear their cover of "Thriller" there. It's metaltastic. (And here's their Facebook.) Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: just one. Add your own.  Before Palm Pilots, Smart Phones and iPods there was... The Walkman. Thirty years ago, on July 1st, Sony unveiled the TPS-L2 cassette player or The Walkman. This portable music apparatus, designed by an engineer named Nobutoshi Khara, changed the way music was branded, packaged, and listened to. It was a revolutionary device. It had dual headphone jacks so more then one person could plug in. It had separate audio channels so the listener could decide what the volume levels were. It had forward and rewind buttons. It ran on batteries. It was also portable and easy to carry around discreetly. But perhaps most importantly it allowed the consumer to select what would be listened to, whether it was a prerecorded cassette or a new fangled contrivance called a "mix tape." Thanks to The Walkman, the age of portable music had arrived. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: 4 so far. Add your own.  The passing of Michael Jackson has made it absolutely imperative for the entertainment industry to crown a new King of Pop. The current void in the music world of a King of Pop is one that will not be easily overcome. After all who could replace Elvis, Sinatra, Biggie, 2Pac, Johnny Cash, and now Michael? Could it be Tori Amos, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams or even Kelly Clarkson? Selecting a King of Pop is a difficult task that requires a legitimate resume and a musical depth unmatched in scope. One thing is certain; the music world needs an icon for the people. Someone who can be looked up to and revered as a songwriter and performer of genius and brilliance. To that end, I offer up a solution. The NEW and undisputed King of Pop is Don Music. Categorized as: Music
