This is where many of those MTV artists expect to be found afterwards -- in the Oval Office (behind the pace car).

Some of you conclusions are absolutely ridiculous. Cant't write a song about lonesomeness and doomed relationships? DAMN, there goes over half of the greatest music in history.

Can't go to the same festival as Twista because his album mocks homicide bombers with the name "Kamikaze". I took the liberty of a googeling kamikaze to see what else mocks homicide bombers.

Kamikaze Karate.
Kamikaze Burgers.
Kamikaze Records (No its not twista's, they do Rockabilly!)
Kamikaze Pub
Kamikaze Cowboy
Kamikaze Games
Kamikaze USA (Martial Arts Suppliers)
Kamikaze WebShop
Kamikaze Comets
Kamikaze Drink recipes
Kamikaze girls
Kamikaze Cafe
It wasnt until about 30 hits down i got "Information on the Kamikaze pilots". Ever think that maybe twista wasn't making references to homicide bombers and maybe just thought it was a cool word like millions of other people/products/companies did?

Oh and that "Ganster Rapper" Kanye West, have you heard his new song, "Jesus Walks"?

Don't care about any of these bands. And none, I note with satisfaction, are Goth.

What corporations "tell us" is R&R PING...

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest)

Nominee: White Stripes, "The Hardest Button to Button"
Comment: Singer recalling how he stopped his baby brother’s crying by sticking pins in a doll, voodoo style makes me wonder if an occult is being promoted.

Tinfoil time...author of this piece needs to get a grip on reality.

[t_skoz]

are you serious with this?

the real problem is that all of this music is crappy... not that it's too depressing or not positive enough!

Here is a link to the hottest band I've heard all year: The Solution! Featuring Nick Royale (singer/guitar player from The Hellacopters) playing drums, and Scott Morgan (Detroit's godfather of soul/rock... played with MC5, Stooges, and The Rationals) on vocals and songwriting, this record is HOT!

Check out the video for their single! http://www.wildkingdom.se/videos/TheSolution-Ihavetoquityou.wmv

Anyone who likes rockin soul and blues music should check it out! Their record is only out in Scandinavia right now but the singer/songwriter is from Detroit and searching for a US record label. If you like the music check out their site: http://www.scottmorganmusic.com/scott_soulmover.html

You can buy the record for US $17 postage paid... I bought 3 copies for friends, everyone loves this record! What better way to say STUFF IT to the weirdo Hollywood/MTV/corporate rock goons, than buying REAL music, made for REAL people, with REAL instruments?

This is truly, THE SOLUTION!
