EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

in an article i read it says he recorded it while drunk, it was going to be less wild as it is, but what he came up with was really cool.

i'll have to check those out when i'm not at work (no sound here), that should be interesting.

I know I've mentioned MIA using samples before, but I can't believe I forgot the most obvious one! Her big hit "paper planes" uses the intro riff (slightly altered) from The Clash' "straight to hell". The songs are so different aside from that riff though, that in my eyes is one of those well used samples that sets itself apart from the original.

(i'd link to the videos but without sound, i dont' wanna link shitty quality ones)

What I hated most about the Kanye coverage was when some stations only reported the bad and never mentioned Beyonces good natured gesture.

& OMG Lady GaGa. did you see all the outfits?
What a nutcase.

I found out about the Kanye incident the same way I find out about any sort of pop culture I would otherwise not be interested in: from my co-worker who has a teenage daughter.  She is also my source of anything to do American Idol, Twilight, High School Musical and pretty much any reality show.

If it was me winning the award I would have punched Kayne in the face.  Hell, I'd like to do that ANYWAY and in this case you could probably get away with it.

I find award shows pretty silly.  For me though it's all about who they give the awards to that bothers me.  The Grammys for example acknowledge the most soulless corporate dribble.  The reason the Oscars have some credibility is because they don't give Transformers the award for best picture.  If I was a recording artist though I would attend the award shows.  At least when it was still a new thing, I would be excited if I was nominated for anything and happy if I won.  Awards after all are as prestigious as those winning them so if *I* won anything, well, then it must mean something, right? ;)  If you thought that Grammys were awarded to shitty music but then you made an album that you really wanted to make and it turned out the way you liked and it won a Grammy, wouldn't you be happy?  Hey, these morons finally acknowledged something worthwhile, right?

Here in Central FL, we just got Palladia on Bright House. My sister in law has had it in Charlotte for a while. It is the new VH1, essentially. It's available in HD only, I believe, thought some of the videos aren't in HD.
