I hope this has a short shelf life. Some are calling Chris Matthews’ comments following President Obama’s State of the Union address racist and insensitive.
Referring to the president he said: “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.”
I don’t spot any obvious racism. Matthews admits not once thinking about the color of the man [...]

Olbermann Declared Nuts by The Daily Show
Thank you John Stewart. I’ve never liked Keith Olbermann. Even when I agree with his politics his smarminess gets under my skin. Lately he’s gone way off the rails and The Daily Show took note.

Haiti Hits #3 Justin Timberlake and some Echo Park Hipster
“Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. Incredibly hard to sing but if pulled off always a home run. Jeff Buckley’s version is the most well-known. Here’s Justin Timberlake’s take.
He’s at the piano, heavily bearded to match his guitar buddy. That guy looks like every hipster-in-winter I see around Echo Park and Silver Lake. What’s with those hats? [...]

Haiti Hits #2: Jay Z, Rihanna and Half of U2
Bono and Jay Z teaming up to write a song had disaster written all over it. Those poor Haitians needn’t suffer more with a thrown together vanity piece of crap in their name. Like the Minnesota Vikings enduring Prince’s anthem.
BUT I ended up humming this tune all day. Especially the Rihanna chorus “Not gonna leee-aaa-ve [...]

Haiti Hits: Sting Driven to Tears
The Hope for Haiti telethon aired on Friday. Many of music’s most famous and most likely to attend benefits were on hand–Sting, Bono, Alicia Keyes, Stevie Wonder and “The Boss”– You can count on them to come together to aid any catastrophe. Kind of like the superhero Justice League, but with guitars.
So I was prepared [...]

Hot Tub Time Machine
Coming to theaters in March – Hot Tub Time Machine. Yup that’s the title.
John Cusack, Rob Corddry (The Daily Show), Craig Robinson (The Office) and some other dude get wasted, pile into a hot tub and time travel back to 1986. Basically a recurring fantasy of mine (minus the male bonding).
They [...]

Blame it on the Alcohol?
THE Clip of the week….Kayne tarding out and bullying a skinny teenage girl. (Having problems embedding the video here, but I’ll update later)
“Blame it on the Henny, Blame it on the ah-ah-ah-alcohol?” Kayne was pictured with a large bottle of Hennessey on the red carpet. Nearly half gone by the time he went up on [...]

Waving Goodbye to Nine Inch Nails
I scored tickets to one of the final Nine Inch Nails shows. After performances in NYC, Chicago and Toronto Trent Reznor is ending it all here in Hollywood. Night one and my show was at the Hollywood Palladium to be followed by The Henry Fonda (moved to 9/8), The Wiltern (on 9/10) and Echoplex.
The set [...]

Nirvana Gets Rick-Rolled
Nirvana + Rick Astley in this new mash-up.
Is it sacrilege or sweeeet?
Zoom to the chorus around the :50 mark. That part kind of works! In the bizarre way how mash-ups can make music of chaos and sound shitty on paper ideas.
This one is from DJ Morgoth, a behomoth german who self-produced [...]

The 90s are Calling Zack Morris
Zack Morris (as portrayed by Mark-Paul Gosselaar in character) was on Jimmy Fallon to show not much has changed in his world since Saved by the Bell. I would have expected him to become a Republican congressman or something.

Eminem: Still relevant?
I’m not sure if Eminem can connect with the world of 2009. He’s been gone a long time and his music already sounds dated to me. That’s wrong, it’s not dated but it feels like nostalgia. Hearing him reminds me of the early 00s.
From the first single and video for “We Made You” I’m not [...]
