Legendary: The Sound Of Silence
Slow day for videos and I am not about to leave you with absolutely nothing for today and tomorrow because I am going on a grand trip to Ogunquit, Maine and I am not sure if i will blog from there. However, Simon and Garfunkel are my soundtrack for the trip as I have downloaded their entire collection, which is much smaller than I thought. Their sound paved they way for many bands across the rock and pop sphere. This is why we have bands like Air, Zero 7 (above post) and Husky Rescue.

All this talk of his tricks being revealed and I could not care less because: number one, he is Fiona Apple’s ex boyfriend and she wrote the monumental song “Limp” about him. Two, he is just eye candy all the way. Here’s the brief:
Don’t waste another temper tantrum
Oh, the hilarity!
Twitter is the new revolution
I have been online for 15 years now and I had never seen anything like it. Twitter is really a big part of the Iranian revolution. Ever body is getting it and getting on #iranelection to voice their opinion or to retweet someone else’s. So much so that it has been blocked in Iran by the Ayatollah’s peeps and people on it are being detained. They never saw it coming. But, the revolution will not be televised, but it will be twitterized. Join in.
Video: “Ego” by Beyonce featuring Kanye West
1Another one of those songs that Beyonce will swing solely on her fame and former cred. It’s appropriate to have Kanye West on is because a definitely has big ego and he can also back it up, maybe. Weak track, Nice video. Will probably get into the top 5.
Mariah Carey to be broadway actress
Another Mariah post, but when it rains it pours. There’s just so much news about Mariah what with the new album and tour and now acting career. Mariah is planning on taking the West End of London sometime soon. She’s getting paid a not so hefty price for it – $15,000, which is bad for a singer that gets a million for a concert date. But, this will be a good ground for her to start upon. With her movies Tennessee and Precious coming out soon. Her world tour and her album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. I know I am heading to LHR for it.
Lady GaGa styles it up in South Korea
2How do you like the new look. All Lady GaGa has to do to dodge the paparazzi is used some make-up remover. Enough with that song already. Something tells me we won’t be seeing new material from her in a long time.
