Like just about every movie out these days, Michael Moore’s latest documentary is floating about freely on the Internet weeks before you can pay to go see it in the theater.
Over the weekend Sicko, Moore’s attack on the American health care system, was even up on YouTube, and if you’re into the Torrent peer-to-peer networks, the movie’s still easy to find.
His studio is extremely upset about this, but Moore is pretty much saying he’s happy when people see his work.
“I think the music industry's response to Napster was misguided … and for me, it's about getting people to see the movie and that's what I want, so they will …
Nas plays an investigator on his album’s “Who killed it?” track, narrating Hip Hop’s rise and fall. The sillhoutte of a woman (a.k.a. Hip Hop) falls in love with “Clive Cambell from Sedgwick Ave/the Bronx, now she shows me the cash/ I said who’s Clive? Don’t play with me skirt/ She said Clive Cambell, he’s Kool Herc…Ah Ha!” Yes, indeed, 1520 Sedgwick Avenue is an address worthy of visit for any Hip Hopper but the West Bronx location May undergo some significance-tainting architectural changes unless the father of Hip Hop himself can do something about it. DJ Kool Herc and his sister are fighting to preserve the building project like it’s the Parthenon. After sifting through all the legal mumbo jumbo, tenants are in jeopardy of being forced out by escalating rent costs resulting from any renovations. …
My First Public Statement as a Free Wolf (Delivered at 5:00PM in front of SF City Hall) Posted by Insurgent in Uncategorized In his dissenting opinion in the case of US v Coldwell (1972), Justice William O. Douglas wrote these prescient words which are not only significant to my case, but also reflect the greater state of affairs in the United States today: “As the years pass, the power of government becomes more and more pervasive. It is a power to suffocate both people and causes. Those in power, whatever their politics, want only to perpetuate it. Now that the fences of the law and the tradition that protected the press are broken down, the people are the victims. The First Amendment, as I read it, was designed …
Surely, such hyperbolic lunacy is the devise of a desperate headline writer, right? URB knows a few people—forever to remain unnamed—who own less than six hip-hop albums and each one of these suckas likes Wu-Tang. And we bet that if you mull over the same nefarious figures of your lives, that Supreme Clientele, Liquid Swords, 36 Chambers, or the perennial rocker underdog favorite: Bobby Digital are treasured portions of their album collections. Ghostface tells SPIN otherwise…
According to an interview with SPIN, Ghostface says that he wanted to do a song with The Killers—more mash-up then Crash Collision—but that the band denied and focused their attention towards a collaboration with the Boss. If you can't imitate Bruce Springsteen, you might as well join him. Whether Brandon Flowers is to blame or if any …
Maybe this shouldn't be funny, but there are just too many elements of humor floating in this ridiculous story. A little girl in Illinois gets a Zune and it's full of porn—we're definitely blaming Wal-Mart and not our lovely sponsors Microsoft for this—gay porn, actually. A “one hour, 44 minute homosexual orgy,” actually. None of this is cool, but what makes it even uncooler is Wal-Mart's response: an investigation, a refund and a $25 GIFT CARD. It's essentially saying: “Dear Sir and Madam, We understand that we May have scared and scarred your precious little girl for life and with great condenscension, here's just enough money for this shitty t-shirt. Hope your daughter will one day grow up to trust again. Richer than you Sincerely, Satan Wal-Mart.”
