A nummy Twix bar to you if you can spot what’s wrong with the above video for Heidi Montag’s new song “Body Language”.
(answer after the jump)
Don’t go to the Website, don’t watch the trailer, stop reading this right now and get your ass to the THEATRE!
Apparently he enjoyed it. So much so that he did what is quite possibly the pottiest thing a human can do at a movie theater:
I thrust my arm in the air and sang along even though Felice and I were the only people in the theatre!
Much love to Felice who was probably shaking her head at lil’ Bobby.
That being said, I’ve viewed the film myself and I must say it was simply amazing. 3D films have an unfair stigma of being cheesy/corny/gimmicky, but this film is certainly none of those things. It’s the closest experience to actually being at a live music concert. Now, that may seem like a trite statement, but I mean it in full earnest. The 3D effects in the film are tastefully done, so much so that you almost don’t even notice them there. It just feels natural. Yet you’ve never experienced something like it before. That, my friends, is a true mark of innovation.
I’ve seen U2 four times and each time I waited 8 hours in front of the venue in order to get a prime spot in the pit for the show. Does the movie match that experience of the concert? Of course not, there’s just no way to replicate the vibe, the intensity, the MUSIC of being there in person. But you could argue the experience of the movie might exceed that of being in the nosebleed seats, and Lefsetz, in fact, does mention this. I got goosebumps and chills while viewing the movie as if I was at a real U2 show.
While I can’t bring myself to slather on anymore hyperbole, I will say that Lefsetz is right about this one. Whether or not you like U2, do yourself a favor and go see this film. You won’t regret it.

I wish there was a auto-repeat toggle on Youtube.
Ebony has scored the first interview with Michael Jackson in over a decade. The interview will be run in the December 07 issue of the magazine, with Jackson on the cover. Honestly ‘d be surprised if Jackson is even coherent throughout the interview. The dude has been the butt of many a South Park episode/SNL Skit/one liner since the turn of the millennium. He hasn’t made relevant music in well over a decade. His appearance at the World Music Awards last year looked positively awful. And now there are rumors of him working with will.i.am and 50 Cent on a new record? Come on. Yes, I know he made Thriller, but that was over 25 years ago. He went crazy about 15 years ago and now it’s too late to recapture the talent he had. Just give it up already MJ and leave us with the memories.
Judging by that headline and that cover, though, there is a shocking secret part of Africa filled with native white men wearing white suits. I’m pumped to read this issue, because this is the first I’ve heard of this phenomenon. How did they keep this hidden African oasis secret for so long?

I’ve been an avid subscriber to the Lefsetz Letter for a couple of years now. At first I was surprised and impressed by the insight Bob showed in his hourly/daily/weekly rants about the shortcomings of the music industry. As time went on, though, it quickly became apparent that the dude just regurgitates the same things over and over again with RANDOMLY capitalized words. One can only read about Bob’s emo ski trips so many times before wanting to take a toaster into the bathtub.
However, I keep myself on the mailing list, simply for the entertainment value when Bob makes an over the top sexual connotation or when celebrities write in. I just received this lovely letter from Kid Rock to Bob:
Im sure its difficult to sit on the bench while us folks play in the big game. Your a failed musician with a big mouth.
You try to make a name for yourself with half ass opinions based on everyone who is actually trying to do something in music. Yet you do NOTHING but talk. See you on the streets you punk ass mother fucker!!!
Kid Rock
I, for one, would love to see Kid Rock duke it out with Bob. Unless Bob has been taking secret Karate lessons over at the Cobra Kai Dojo, his only shot would be to challenge Mr. Rock to a grammar-off. Sadly, I haven’t really been keeping up with how the kids score those these days. Are more points deducted for random capitalization of WORDS or for improper use of contractions and verb tense?
Taking a page (card) out of indexed, some brilliant mathematician has made a number of LOLtastic graphs based on hip-hop song lyrics. Who knew using Microsoft Office could be so fun?

Some of you have been wondering what “potty” means and why I have been using it. According to Urban Dictionary:
potty guy
a stranger, anyone with whom you are unfamiliar. - a person, familiar or not, who elicits discomfort for any number of reasons.
In other words, pretty much everyone you meet on Xbox Live while playing Halo 3 fits both definitions. Especially the second one.
Now I’ll be the first to admit to being an uber-nerd for buying a $400 graphics card specifically to play the most beautiful video game ever. But this awesome mensch manages to beat me in every possible way by rigging Crysis to run on THREE 24″ LCD Monitors at the same time.
Bob Lefsetz would have to blow his wad SEVERAL TIMES to FILL the real estate of these DISPLAYS.

U2 have proposed renovations of the Clarence Hotel in Dublin costing £100 million. The new hotel, constructed on land the band bought in 1992, would become the tallest building in Dublin. However, part of the plan calls for the demolition of several heritage buildings under the city’s protection. Ironically, it seems as if the band wants to retain its legacy while shattering others’.
I’ll admit that U2 is my favorite band, but lately it has been living up to its increasing reputation as an egoistic entity. Something about bands putting their name on lavishly expensive luxury skyscraper hotels rubs me the wrong way. It seems as if the band is trying everything it can to not make music.
Do us a favor, guys, and stop embarrassing yourselves. Although if the last album was any indication, maybe they should start taking some real estate courses.
