IOC spokesman Mark Adams said officials were aware of Dr. Dre’s offer to athletes from about 20 nations but stressed it was up to each national Olympic team to ensure athletes protected the sponsors.

Because I don’t care if he is a horrible little half wit, I care that Blunderbuss is a really good album. And I wanna see him do it live.

Missing Barbra when you can manage it is like missing Ella or Aretha or Billie or Peggy (Lee) when you can manage it. It is silly. You shouldn’t do it. And so I won’t…

I cant say enough about these guys, they’re brilliant and perfect and would blow One Direction out of the water as teen scream boys if only they had the proper promotion. They’ll either take over or disappear. For now, they are here and they are fantastic.

Reach Up (Papas Got A Brand New Pigbag) – Paul Oakenfold – One of the original DJ superstar, you get the feeling he never pushed a button and sat around for 8 minutes at a Festival. The relationship to either Brown or Pigbag is a little obscure, the drums ain’t Grade: B+

“I would not work with those guys again if my life depended on it. I can’t be responsible for their attitudes and the way they treat people.”

Hranica was a blur on stage, his vocals as intense as ever. He gets increasingly better, and this time around he was at the top of his game. The threat of the storm wasn’t a threat to him at all, passionate and strong and crazy loud.

There were kids I spoke to that thought Slayer should have been the headliner. A few mentioned that Slipknot had lost its edge and Slayer should have closed the night. I disagree,

Old timers drug and booze infused psychological messes. The punk movement, for some, was more than music. It was a test of boundaries and an outlet for mental illness and when the silly screams of anarchy evolve into shooting in squats, well

So as far as I’m concerned, Stefani has a whole lotta ‘splainin’ to do on album # 3, “Artpop”. And she can start with the crappy album name.

The recently released EP Winner, offers up a study in perfection with the Bee Gees cover, “I Started A Joke”. Neil always sounds as though he is a part the start crying, and Chris is always like his kid brother, tugging at his sleeve.

Where is the space between thought and action? But Page should be different: put it this way, Wade hates all ethnic minorities so HIS ACTION IS TO TRANSMOGRIFY THE HATRED INTO MUSIC. That should end the circle.

‘if you are attending the Hollywood forever cemetery sigur rós gig on 12 august, we are looking for volunteers from our audience to record themselves speaking for a few minutes about memories of a person in their lives, that they have lost. ‘

For all its not inconsiderable powers, “Brigadoon” doesn’t rest in the Premier Division of Great American Musicals. For one thing, the story, about a village in Ireland that appears once every hundred years, doesn’t bear thinking about. And for another Lerner-Lowe were nearly but not quite there. “My Fair Lady” was eight years away! For a third, the movie was not that great. Still, this song is an undeniable classic – Grade: A+

As London is suddenly promoted as a super-wealth brand, the England outside London shivers beneath cutbacks, tight circumstances and economic disasters. Meanwhile the British media present 24-hour coverage of the “dazzling royals”, laughing as they lavishly spend, as if such coverage is certain to make British society feel fully whole

One thing I love about this is the fact that the crowd is singing it right back at him, with just as much emphasis as the performer. It’s so great, and hearing it live for the first time makes it now my favourite on the EP. It’s so catchy and fun, and it’s even better live

It is about all the folks who will die in the same place they ere born in. It is about meaningless lives whittled away doing, drugs, smoking blunts, drinking too much, marrying and divorcing and spinning through your life with nothing to add to the conversation. It is a celebration of, unlike Bruce, not being born to run, but being born to chase your own tale thru your own life.

I wanted to punch him in the face, and I am not a violent person. I could have moved but it was packed, and I couldn’t find another good spot, plus there was no reason to back up when I had been waiting for hours.

Pitbull is a genius he sings 99.9% about how ‘Worldwide’ he is and tosses in a few sentences about something to do with ‘baby’ and he hooks in someone to else (Usher, Chris Brown, Shakira) to actually sing. He should teach a course in this shit

Let me help folks, show up at 2p and head straight for the stands and you will be fine. Show at 4p and you might never make it in

Without a doubt, this is the worst important album of the year. It is a disgrace. Jordin stinks. OK, maybe she doesn’t stink stink but she is really what she is: an American Idol contestant. Ejogo stinks.

Smack dab in the pavement outside the original Guitar Center location on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood artists sink their hands in concrete. The Rock Walk was first established in 1985 and, unlike other such awards, the new inductees are elected solely by the decision of past inductees.

A coupla lifetimes ago I dated a girl who had just quit her job as a dom. “A wiggle and a jiggle” was her verby term (mean cheerleader a specialty, one guy wanted to dress up as a cheerleader himself and have her stick his head inn the toilet and flush it) ! The relationship lasted like three weeks but she worshipped Rob Zombie, and made me a fan, so, yup, there is that.

Go – Delilah – A soul Alanis Morrisette is the take on this UK sensation soul sensation, and on this terrifc soul song she samples Chaka Khan to great effect. It coyuld well hit the US R&B Charts… it should – Grade: A-

In my quest to find this highly recommended song my ears were accosted by the freak like yelp of the horrific Feist. There is no more God awful sound than a pretentious rock bitch. Instant migraine instant fury, instant want to smash heads in with a baseball bat.

Due to an approaching storm and warnings from the National Weather Service, Lollapalooza organizers have suspended the festival until further notice. Festival-goers are being evacuated from Grant Park and are being directed by staff and the Chicago Police Department to pre-established underground evacuation and shelter sites along Michigan Avenue

The crowd alone is tough strong and loyal and Hartford’s Festival proved this like no other. With Morning announcements of storm warning and flash flooding you would expect the crowd to thin. Not the case. When New Englanders have an opportunity to thrash the weather means nothing.

My feeling about seeing the popular electronic French band M83 in an open air setting is one of expectation. I’ve yet to see the band live and feel it will be a straight drag seen from a million miles away (well, it is summerstage, a thousand miles away), On the other hand… Hurry Up, I’m Dreaming live on stage??? What’s not to like this Wednesday?
