Tommy Lee and Ludacris Enter Battleground Earth

Tommy Lee has a Starbucks in his house. Ludacris has a massive collection of gold chains. Collectively they own a plethora V12 whips. Therefore, I dare say excess is simply a way of life fo these two. However, these two are going to try and put these wasteful habits into the trash-err-recycling bin and save the planet by competing in a series of green events on Battleground Earth, which premieres Sunday on Green Planet.

The winner of the events earns (besides the right to say they’re fighting to keep our mother clean) a headlining at a benefit in concert in LA’s Griffin Park. The loser shall be the opening act. Peep the full story at Green, Grown and Sexy. …

Now it’s really on…Bonnaroo – Day 2

After 3 hours of sleeping in a lawn chair I’m amazingly refreshed. Back to the car…hit the starbucks. Head back into Bonnaroo…hit up Scratch DJ Academy. I’m on call to help out if any of the DJs get sick, but they have to give me 12 hours notice and everyone seems to be in good health. I hear that last night around 8pm they stopped the DJ instruction and just made the tent into a big party. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to rock a couple of joints after Chris Rock performs.

New Goldfrapp LP is complete!

If you think that Goldfrapp is some new bigshot, foo-foo, pinky's-up-when-you-drink-it concoction at Starbucks…just stop. For everybody who knows better, you'll be glad to know that they have officially finished their follow-up album to 2005's Supernature. However, it would not be wise to expect things to be completely unchanged. Oh, my word is not good enough for you? Fine. Read the words that came directly out of their mouths…via myspace:

“It's very different to Supernature, so it might come as a bit of a shock to some of you. We had fun making it and loved doing something that is in complete contrast to the last album, even though sometimes it took a bit of courage to steer as far away as we did on some of the tunes. It's …

Black Ghosts and Kids at CMJ

I get to NYC after not being here since the year 2000. And here it is dirty, in your face, a bikini bar and two guys from Austin, TX. 2 beers=good. 7 beers=bad. Especially when you have a job interview the next day.

I know exactly where to pick up my CMJ badge, as I soon as I see a flood of hipsters crossing the street. Perhaps I should note that 'hipsters' is a very serious word here, browsing Craigslist NYC recently I saw a rental ad that made a point to say “We're not hipsters but it's OK if you are.” Ha!

Sitting in Starbucks on 47th and 9th waiting …
