Records has turned the classic record store into Icky Thump Records, which will sell the new White Stripes cd Icky Thump tonight at midnight, about 10 hours earlier than most record stores. But then the band will play Wednesday...

Many of those bands have yet to play and thanks to the AT&T Blue Room you can see some of those heavy hitters live thru your computer. Just go to blueroom.att.com and click Live Now. Or you...
  • For years he was Howard Stern's head writer. Of course that title pissed off Fred Norris, but that was all part of the multi-layered levels of fun that was the Stern show for a decade. Either due to Jackie asking for too much money or of Jackie not wanting to wake up early every morning (something that Artie Lange is now complaining about), Martling was not resigned and in 2001 Lange was eventually hired...
  • Can someone please tell Kobe Bryant to shut the hell up? Whether you are a fan of his or not, or think that he is bad for the Lakers right now or not, Laker fans everywhere must certainly be in agreement that we want him to STFU. This morning the LA Times reported that Kobe had a meeting with Laker owner Dr. Jerry Buss yesterday in Spain and asked again to be traded. Jerry...

  • Michael Moore's new doc, Sicko is getting rave reviews from both Liberals and Conservatives because our health care crisis hits all Americans no matter which party of rich white males they vote for.
