It’s a company that hails from foresty Portland, Oregan that invented these wooden shades. So, naturally, they called it shwood. They are available here in 3 different colors all in wood.
Premiere: Video: “Arlington Way” by Cerys Matthews
Former Catatonia front-woman Cerys Matthews is back, but this time on the down low. She is releasing a Welsh language album and this is the first single. It’s sounds like a solid song with a solid beat, but we can’t understand a bit.
Mariah Carey planning a remix album
4
Trey Songz has just prematurely revealed what LA Reid and Mariah Carey have been keeping from us: There’s another album in the pipeline. When Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel came out we were surprised that there were no “featuring” artists on it. She’s has another artists to collaborate with on every album since her Christmas album back in 1994. So, now we know why. The Timbaland and Jermaine Durpi tracks will be joined by a myriad of remixed tracks from the album itself. Trey Songs has just been commissioned to re-do “Inseparable.” Let’s see what’s next.

The world’s largest lemonade stand is being built in time for the opening of the Highline park, which we had the privilege to visit and can say that it’s absolutely mesmerizing. Wonder what other surprises the opening holds.

New terminal for JetBlue

Leona Lewis reveals new album cover for “Echo”
2
This is the first look into the artwork for the sleeve of the Leona Lewis sophomore album Echo. It’s cute, her pose is suggestive, and the re-toucher knows what he/she is doing. Let me guess, this album will feature a “more mature” Lewis singing about grown up thing. The album is set to be released November 11th. Lewis has worked with Ryan Tedder, Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, Xenomania and James Fauntleroy amongst others to produce this follow-up to her debut album Spirit.
Obama skit on Saturday Night Live
1
Out of all the president impersonators, he’s really bad. He doesn’t get the Obama persona. Something tells me that SNL just want to tap the liberal skew they have because all they are talking about here is pure balderdash. The world is definitely a better place after the former buffoon left. Lack of accomplishments are better than horrific ones.
Alternate cover for Britney Spears single “3″
Not much going on here. We like the other 3 Britneys better, even when Mariah and Whitney did it. the song’s a grower and we can imagine it being a big club banger.
Whitney Houston’s interview on Wetten Dass
We can see still some crazy in there and we love it. She takes a while to answer a question. Enough with the Clive Davis brouhaha and let’s talk singles and tour.

Shanice covers Mariah Carey’s “My All”
That song needs to be laid to rest for a while. We are sick of hearing it all over malls and at the florist.
New ergonomic keyboard surfaces…
This apparently helps your posture and your working day. The Diatec Realforce 91U is an ergonomic keyboard designed for and by Japan. We are not quite sure how, but maybe the black buttons help the user to identify the buttons faster and not have to slouch down on the keyboard. Not sure, but it looks remarkable.
Learn how to spoon…
It’s never completely comfortable, is it?
Bra that turns into a gas mask…

There are many great and fun ways to save the human population from looming pollution. Now, you can be a trendy warrior. This new invention that has won an award of sorts recently is a bra that doubles as two gas masks. And since the sex ratio is roughly at the middle. This is perfect, if you have 2 boobies.
Video: “Pop The Glock” by Uffie
Finally, this gets a video. We actually featured this in one of our really old compilations back in the summer of 2006. Or was it 2o05? We forgot! Anyway, this comes in time for her new record company’s release of some new material after being shelved for so long. Even if she managed to get her name across in some circles, she never actually hit it. There’s hope for this time even if this sounds outdated.
Mariah Carey to do Christmas duet with her mother Patricia
1
Mariah Carey is pulling al the stops for a musical project that has yet to suffice. One would think that following the release of her newest album, she wouldn’t be pounding it out in the studio. In fact, some really magical music project is in prospect. First we hear that LA Reid is hiding some tracks from the Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel sessions for later. The tracks in hiding are produced by Timbaland (including the newly-leaked “Skydiving”) and some collaborations with Jermaine Dupri.
Now, Mariah herself has announced: “I shouldn’t tell you this, but I’m going to record another Christmas song, with my mother. I’m going to sing in my style, and she is going to sing operatic, which is her style.”
More Lady GaGa performances on SNL
These performances are the paragon of what Lady Gaga is – a whole lotta show for not so much music. “Paparazzi” was great, but the medley (below) is completely disjointed and awkward at parts. Only the ring-dress around her saved it. We hope “Bad Romance” is not a slow number from her upcoming The Fame re-incarnation The Fame Monster.
