Here is what came out that I will listen to first, as if you cared:
DJ Rap – “Synthesis”
The Herbaliser – Herbal Tonic
The Jackson 5 – “Live at the Forum”
Scissor Sisters – “Night Work”
Pianos Become the Teeth – “Old Pride”
Also, today marks the 25th anniversary of John Fogerty’s “Centerfield.” I still love this song:
The “World’s” reaction to Landon Donovan’s goal… if the world was only as big as South Africa, France and, um, Arkansas… still a pretty cool video. Check it out:
And while I’m on the subject of SportsCenter commercials (wait, what?), here are a couple of funny ones:
Of course, all of that searching led to me watching a bunch of SportsCenter commercials, which are almost always hilarious. And, it lead me to find this great clip of Arnold Palmer. First, I watched the SportsCenter commercial where he pours his namesake drink (one half tea, one half lemonade, for the five people who weren’t aware of how to make an “Arnold Palmer.”). Then, I found this clip, where he uses an “Arnold Palmer” in a very interesting golfing skill display. Just watch.
So, um, what was I talking about?
Saturday. US versus Ghana. My prediction: 1-0… USA! USA! USA! USA!
Tricky Disco – “Vuvuzela-la-la-la”
I cannot advocate paying $2 to download this track. I am merely showing you all that this track does exist. I am pretty certain that Tricky Disco chucked this thing together last week. It is possibly more annoying than an actual 8 minutes of just vuvuzela. I’m just saying…
GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s what came out today that might be worth your time…
One I’ve been waiting for anxiously is the new Chemical Brothers album, “Further.” I am totally stoked about this album.
Eminem – “Recovery” comes out, but you may already have that one…
The Roots – “How I Got Over” promises to be good…
Herbie Hancock – “The Imagine Project”– this new album features a metric ton of guest stars- including Dave Matthews, Susan Tedeschi, John Legend, Derek Trucks, India Arie, Chaka Khan, Seal and Jeff Beck, among others- promises to be well performed. If it doesn’t get the standard mass appeal bland-izing that most projects of this magnitude get, this seems like an interesting prospect…
… and speaking of the Derek Trucks Band… kind of… their new album, “Roadsongs,” is out as well…
Cyndi Lauper – “Memphis Blues” … I really don’t know what to say here…
OK, so here’s some other stuff you should know about:
Macy Gray – “The Sellout” (anybody? hello?)
Robert Randolf & The Family Band – “We Walk This Road”
Sarah Harmer – “oh little fire”
Uffie – “Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans”
What? Miley Who?
