Foo Fighters vs Westboro Baptist Church

We told you that the Westboro Baptist Church was planning to protest the Foo Fighters show over the weekend. Well, they did... and the Foo Fighters got in the last word:

Foo Fighters "Hot Buns" video

The Foo Fighters are promoting their upcoming tour with this short film.  It's hilarious, but not very safe for work... so view this at your own risk.

*NSFW - Man Ass*

Guy sings Katie Perry on the bus... LOUDLY!

How would you like to be sitting next to this guy at 8am while he's belting out California Girls? Gotta give him extra points for rocking the discman. Someone hand this guy a lyrics sheet... "Five fake beer, with garlic on lox!"



And, of course, the obligitory auto-tuned version (apparently, even auto-tune has it's limitations):

Embarrassing Bruce Springsteen lost video

Thank god they decided to go with the version that has Courtney Cox dancing. Nice headband.

Dave Grohl kicks out fighting fan

Don't think of fighting anything else but Foo at a Foo Fighters concert. Dave won't have any of it...

*NSFW - All nasty words bleeped except "A-hole" for some reason*

Movie scenes set to Blink 182's "Dammit"

I don't know why this exists, but someone has added Blink 182's "Dammit" to some classic movie scenes.  Honestly, I think they work much better this way:

BET Awards fail

This totally ruined the BET awards for me. The fan who won a chance to give out the viewer's choice award handed it to Chris Brown... then Rihanna... and then some other dude. Turns out they later announced that Chris Brown actually did win. Wonder if he beat the crap out of her.

Weird Al is back!

I was a huge Weird Al fan growing up, and I'm very happy that this type of digital technology was not available back then. This video is guaranteed to really confuse Al's young boy fanbase.

Time waster of the week: Tone Matrix

The concept is simple, click on the grid and add notes. The notes play in an endless loop.  Simple... like crack.  I stopped eating, sleeping and have inserted a catheter so I can keep making these insanely addictive tunes.  Link

Foo Fighters tour rider coloring book!

The Foo Fighters are legendary for making strange demands on their tour rider (only green M&M's etc...).  They say it's to weed out venues that don't fully read through the entire document, causing serious problems with sound and staging.  Well, this year, they've created an interactive activity and coloring book for venues to read before preparing for a Foo Fighters concert.

Here are their food demands.  The production section of their rider is also filled with some pretty creative writing as well. Enjoy!

Green Day responds to angry letter

This letter and it's response influenced Billy Joe Armstrong to write the song "Reject".

Miley Cyrus covers Nirvana

Kurt Cobain has killed himself... again.

The Christian version of "Bed Intruder"

It's well accepted that Christians are probably the worst thing to ever happen to music cough..CREED...cough...cough...

But, seriously, this one was bad enough BEFORE the remake.  And just pointing something out, Jesus is the rapist in this song, right?

EPIC Beastie Boys video

This is the trailer to Fight For Your Right Revisited. Just try and count the cameo appearances... Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Jack Black, Seth Rogan, Elija Wood, Susan Saranden, Stanley Tucci, Cloe Sevigne, Rainn Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Steve Buscemi, Will Arnett... And this is only the trailer!

Acapella Heaven

I dare you to listen all the way through.

Awkward interview with J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.

I don't think Barbra Walters herself could have done a better job interviewing a very burnt out J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.

The Phil Collins Day Parade

If you're a regular listener of the show, you know that I hate Phil Collins. If I even see his face my body clenches up and I feel physically ill... don't even get me started on what happens when I'm unfortunate enough to hear one of his songs. So, as you'd expect, I did not attend this year's Phil Collins Day in Brooklyn. And from the looks of it, not many other people did too. I will have nightmares about that paper mache Phil Collins head for months.

Weezer covers the State Farm jingle

From Brandi's Music News:
If Vampire Weekend and The Black Keys can sell out... why not Weezer!

Lady Gaga shows up for Grammys in an egg

"What are you wearing?"

"Eggland's Best"

Lady Gaga showed up for the Grammy awards in a giant egg being carried by a bunch of scantily clad men. She hatched during her performance on stage... yawn. Tune in this morning for our Grammy wrap-up.

Coolest... Parrot... Ever...
