Justin Timberlake: “What Goes Around” (full length video)

Buy it here.

LLL…. Almost. The trend continues on this year’s American Idol- If you can’t sing it, shake it, baby shake it.

Alaina Alexander, yet another forgetable voice / face albeit Top 24 A.I. contestant has resorted to showing off the goods on her new myspace page, TMZ reports. Just another blow to the integrity of the flailing American Institution called American Idol.

It seems the show has become more about T and ASS, than talent and class. But it worked for Antonella, and we do love it, crave it, and have to have it. So if you absolutely must look, here is a link.

Lately, I have really been getting into this internet radio thing. I mean, regular radio sucks- all those annoying-ass DJs playing the same three songs intercut between big-voiced commercials shouting things like “Tri-County Mower Show- This SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY.” Like I could give a flying flip about a lawn mower show- what am I going to do, mow the grass infront of my dorm. WTF???

And like most good things, it is only a matter of time before the big foot of the government steps in and fucks shit up. You might have heard the recent racket about the US Copywrite Board trying to raise perfomance royalty rates which will essentially kill internet radio as we know it.

Yeah, Yeah, It sucks and it is happening, but ain’t dead yet.

So in the meantime, you can still get your free music fix on the web at sites like Slacker.com. This site is probably the coolest of all the internet radio sites. All you need is an email address and a password and you are off – thousands and thousands of songs you know and songs you don’t. Slacker.com has playlists based on the artists you like and suggests other similar artists as well – and you can even make your own stations and email them to your friends. It’s way cool. Check it out.

So basically I’ve been obsessed with Gwen Stefani since waaaay back in the days of Tragic Kingdom (I’ve only seen No Doubt in concert about eight times). And I’m soooo excited to see what she’s going to do tonight on American Idol! I haven’t even really been following this season – mainly because I watched last year and once Taylor Hicks won, I vehemently decided that from that point on I was anti-idol. However, I now have a new-found respect for the show, since they’re inviting my Gwennie to coach the final 10 and then perform “The Sweet Escape” with Akon (!) on the Wednesday results show. Stay tuned, kids…

Cold War Kids: Hang Me Up To Dry

From the album Robbers & Cowards. Buy it here.

Spring is finally here. I have already cleaned out my closet and I spent half the weekend raking up the gi-normous pile of empty Starbucks Cups and McD’s wrappers from the floorboard of the ol’ VW.

Sucked, but had to be done. But what sucked worse was the tired music playing on my iPod during these monotonous chores. So I’ve cleaned up my life, and I thought maybe it’s time to clean up my iPod. Gnarls and the Killers have been good to me, but it’s 2007- time for something new, but what?

Fortunately, Rollingstone.com has just released 10 Artists to Watch. I know you will like.

1) The Academy Is

2) Mika

3) Lavender Diamond

See the whole list:

Certainly by now, we are all familiar with the girl on myspace that has decided to forgo all food and food-like substances until Sanjaya is booted of the A.I. Island.

Well, Sanjaya is still standing and Fat Ghandi is still starving- or so she claims. Seriously, this girl hasn’t missed a meal in five hours let alone five days. But we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, atleast for now.

I mean the master cleanse lasts 10 days, and people do that everyday. But honestly- by next Wednesday it will have been 12 days- this girl, 12 days, no shot.

Sanjaya makes a 7 year old cry. Check …. it …. out!

Does she have the willpower to make it another week?

Silversun Pickups: Lazy Eye

The feud is over claims UK site Digitalspy. For the past few weeks, the saucy Brit songstresses have been battling out their personal differences on the world stage. But now the two have aparantly buried the hatchet after hooking up in Austin, Texas last week during SXSW. “Me and the Winehouse have made up,” Allen said. “We’re now lesbian lovers,” she laughed afterwards.

Madonna/Esther and her new clothing line will be premiering at H&M stores on March 22. POPSUGAR is covering this launch quite extensively, but it breeds a much more important question. I’m not sure I care? Truth be told, I am a material girl in a material world – but I feel like ’someone’ is starting to get a little tiring.

Do not get me wrong, when I am 80 I hope I look half as good as she does…(ouch)

But after the Kaballah, the children’s books, A League of their Own, and that dreadful CastAway rip-off movie – I am just not feeling her. These are just my feelings and if I am off-base, I have been known to be wrong before.
