Tom Petty: Born into it, really. My mom's been listening to him since long before I was born.


3. Who is your favorite member in 8?
Death From Above 1979: Tough call, but I think I'm going to have to go with Jesse.


4. Whats your favorite lyric bit by 29?
Tokyo Police Club: There's no fun in playing cowboys for pretend.


5. Have you ever seen 22 live?

First off, I had a good chuckle at Asher Roth (guy who "loves college" so much he'll send you into a boredom coma) saying his label undershipped his album with 100,000 copies for the first week when he couldn't even sell 70,000 copies his first week. Who's the poorly made Imus joke now? You racist, talentless, I'm-not-sure-why-I-wasted-this-many-words-on-you, corporate tool.

But seriously, why does anyone care? Hint: the talentless douche bag above is shrugging for a reason (he really does look like a douche though with the pink background behind his white shirt though, doesn't he?). Or more importantly, why do I care? I don't recall anyone caring that much when Fat Joe or any other Hispanic rapper hit it big. Or when Jin became the first Asian rapper signed to a major label. So why does Assto Mouth (Asher Moth?) get such coverage?


Because he sucks? No, he's terrible--I'll give him that--but not terrible enough to deserve all this coverage/attention.

Because he's white? Adeem, Aesop Rock, Slug (Atmosphere), Cage, El-P: these guys are all white rappers that are more talented but aren't getting Hoofto Mouth's level of media coverage. But I think we might be getting closer.

Because Eminem is old and has no male heir to his throne? Even closer.

Because America didn't get enough Vanilla Ice? Keep going.

Because Americans love to buy worthless shit that only becomes more worthless in time? Actually, that's what the major labels are banking on. It's what they've been banking on since they introduced the first heavily overpriced CDs (CDs are cheaper to produce than cassettes). The major labels are excellent at over-blowing things. Somebody give those guys some swine flu.

RAAAAWR. I AM THE SWINE FLU AND I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL. OHHH SHIT, SON.


But since I mentioned Eminem, let's be real about him, too.

First, his new album sucks.

Edit: If his new singles are any indication (as they have been with his past albums).

Second, his old stuff wasn't much better. Let's be honest. He fell off after D12 - My Band. Okay, I enjoyed the song and then later enjoyed Encore the first couple times I heard it. But he'd really lost it by then.

I still listen to a few of his songs though:

Without Me
Sing for the Moment
Superman
Mockingbird
Lose Yourself

Beyond that, he's really just a shock rapper who generally hasn't mastered either serious or humorous tones in his lyrics, has an irritating voice; and if it weren't for the Dre beats, his ass would still be underground. But he's the biggest selling rapper of all time. And I don't hate him because he's white. I don't particularly care for Tupac and Jay-Z, the second- and third-highest selling rappers of all time either.

Wednesday's best new track was by Akira Kiteshi and it was the awesome 'Glitch Pt 1&2.' As soon as I first (illegally) heard this stuttering, grunting, groinking track, I nipped onto iTunes and bought the single. Wonderful, rich electronic music.



The best old track was by tonight's featured artist, The Hidden Cameras. Although it could have been any of them, I have to go with 'A Miracle' as this song has helped me through some dark times. Joel Gibb's voice, the beautiful lyrics and the silky strings add up to one of my favourite ever recordings.
