Photo via MURS' MySpace profile LAist got some time in with Los Angeles rapper MURS. MURS has just released 'MURS FOR PRESIDENT' on Warner Bros Records, and is a member of the rap groups Living Legends, and Felt. He hails from the Los Angeles neighborhood of Mid-City.

Photo by Chrissy Piper via Aesop Rock's MySpace profile Aesop Rock - the tall man of the NY weathermen rap cliq - consistently breathes fresh air into everything he touches. He's the only man that could have a music video with zombies, and yet still is that proverbial, (or fabled) fresh prince of fresh air. His artistry on the mic, coupled with his abilities working the production tip, makes my heart float. I wish... [continue]

Is Mark Zuckerberg getting into the business of steel-toe boot manufacturing? I am not sure how roomy the offices in Palo Alto, California are but surely there isn't enough room to create a manufacturing plant for these boots. The reason I bring up such a topic, is that apparently Facebook is dishing out a zero-tolerance policy (of "sudden-deathing" one's account) guilty of things amongst: Ixnay on the not using one's real name, joining too...

To prepare for this interview, I scoured my closet for my pair of unwashed lucky socks, put on some Dog the Bounty Hunter ondemand, and tried to ignore the fact that his girlfriend is "shnacky", as I like to say. Yucko the Clown is a regular guest on "The Howard Stern Show", a stand-up comic, and the co-creator of The Damn Show later 'ported' to MTV2 as Stankervision. Currently he's touring with the Killers...... [continue]

You may remember Stephanie as Miss Howard TV for the month of October on HowardTV, (Howard's on-demand uncensored channel on cable television), but really it feels like she's the 13th girl in 12 months that Stern-sidekick Artie Lange has fawned over. However with Stephanie, there was that special "paisan" connection. If you go to ASU, you've probably facebook stalked her. If you have HowardTV, you're well ahead of the game. She is also Miss......

First, let me take a chant straight from the picket-line and just say, EVVAA-LONGORIA, WE WRITE THE STORYIA. Second, here is Greg's official statement on the writers strike (exclusive): "Please support the Writers Strike. I don't want to drive past studios every day that look like they are holding auditions for "Revenge of the Nerds: 30 years later." --- If there was no such thing as the "Artie-chair," it'd probably be called the "Fitz-chair."...

Step 2) Write down the name Chris Palko on some deposit slips you prolly stole as well in the process. Step 3) Rush home and prepare to bury this capsule --to be...... [continue]

Superman isn't when you drop a load on a chick's back when she is passed out and when she wakes up the bed covers are stuck to her back like a cape...

Who isn't a Halo fan-boy at this point *cough* me, 'cause I heart my trusty Wii, but maybe I could still get down with some Halo-the-movie live action phun.
