I keep wondering when we're going to see a real world death in a "reality" show. Though I know this isn't that, I honestly believe we're going to get to Running Man in my lifetime.

This my own personal version of synergy! A band I'm way tired of hearing about is covering an album I'm way tired of hearing!

6 Feet Deep is a stone cold classic. I'll grant you, there's a steep drop off after that, but I will defend that first album forever.

Interestingly enough, I was introduced to both bands through MTV, with what were then their current videos. For Public Enemy, that was "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos," which was a truly mind-blowing musical experience I still remember to this day. With the Clash it was "Rock the Casbah." Didn't quite have the same…

I like Dylan, but I really wish the trend of "artist in the twilight of their career does cover album" would end. (I know the article is just speculating that's what's going on here, but my comment still stands.)

I know it's a cliche to say it, but Public Enemy was my Clash. Sure, I liked the Clash just fine. Still do. But I guess it was right place, right time for me with PE.

Interestingly enough, I'm doing the audio book of The Big Payback about the history of hip-hop and business and just yesterday covered the Vanilla Ice/Suge Knight incident. The author of the book says that they infamous "hung from the balcony by the ankles" incident was most likely a fabrication, probably put out…

I've been listening to Dan Charnas' The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop. I've been on a tear with music biz audiobooks lately (The Last Sultan, Cowboys & Indies, Our Noise) but this one is one of those where you end up late to clock in because you're sitting there listening to "just a few more…

Ooh…Orichi. Haven't seen that in years. Well. Off to the DVD vault I go.

The Public Domain is a brilliant concept that has just about been legally rewritten into oblivion. Still, thanks for the heads up on he Jelly Roll Morton stuff.

I'll go one step further. I remember literally getting a can of the stuff in the mail one day as a promo they were doing. Can they even do that now?

I think it was law that no DJ could play it without mentioning that fact.

Any other children of the 80s have to sing this in school? We did and the boys all fought over who got the Bruce Springsteen part. That's all I got. Now give me a Like cola and get off my lawn!

So disappointed Nothing had to cancel a show here a few weekends ago. I'm sure they destroy live.

I just know I've read more about the cool engineering tricks they pulled off on the vinyl version of Lazaretto than the music they pressed on the disc. I've listened to it about three times and it's still left no impression on me at all.

A British DJ friend gave me a promo of the first Kasabian CD back in 2004 and I dug it instantly for exactly the reasons mentioned in this article. Good to see they're still at it and I'll have to stumble across the new one.

I see what you did there. Pretty sneaky, Dikachu.

Actually I did! The only difference is there's an extra commentary track on the US Dracula disc. Not worth the extra $50 or whatever it was.

Dude, I would have given all my GoBots to see Newcleus. Still would.

What no cassette version? Was that a step too far, Billy?
