Actually, I wish I knew who to dish it out to in particular cause their influence has gone way over the top.Heavy Metal used to mean stuff like Black Sabbath, Metallica and Iron Maiden. Don't get me wrong, today we have some great bands like Disturbed, Godsmack, Shinedown and many many others. But the whole "Metal" label has been skewed somewhere along the line. Now it seems that there has to be wild guitar leads at lightning speed that make no musical sense, none the less create any sort of melody. And the vocal slot has been opened up to anybody that can scream and/or growl.Hey, I love the old Sepultura, which is the root of this new genre. I respect the style. But somewhere we really need to insist that these styles be more effectively labeled. There is grunge metal, and grind core, and gore and lord knows what else. At least the whole Rap thing knew better than to try and side with funk or soul music. Seems to me all this scream metal is just the white boy's answer to the Rap thing.As I cruise MySpace looking for good "Metal" or "Hard Rock" I continue to encounter these kinds of screamo thrash attack bands. First of all, if you like that stuff. I have nothing against you or your music. I simply think it needs to be reclassified. Alternative Metal would work for me. Anything as long as we draw some clear lines. No matter how I cross reference on MySpace it takes forever to find just one true metal band. And maybe that's really the point of it all. Something new and unique...

I just came across a great new artist - Ingrid Michaelson - she's amazing.
A little breathy, choppy, acoustic, sweet and maybe a little angry.Definitely worth checking her out.http://www.myspace.com/ingridmichaelson

Ben Kweller is amazing. Although I love Ben Folds - I think Kweller has a little more quirkiness/raw talent... and is definitely underrated.

Patrick Park is really a great musician. He's totally underrated. He kind of reminds me of Elliot Smith....

Regina Spektor is amazing.
Her music is awesome. Very Ani Difranco.

so who the fuck is justin dating post-cam? is it scarlett or jessica... can't he make up his mind. oh wait, he's justin timberlake. no, he doesn't have to make up his mind because he can do whoever and whatever he wants. but it would just make my life easier so i wouldn't have to keep buying the new issues of us weekly to catch up with his shenanigans. you can have me justin - that would make everything better.
my vote is for jessica. while i loooove scar-jo, jess is more his type for sure.

Don't give kevin the $50million he is blackmailing you for. Call his bluff, offer him the kids...you know he wants no part of them anyway.

Britney Spears = Has Been.
Justin Timberlake = Hot, Amazing, A-list, Pure Sex (that one I just had to throw in there after I saw his concert last week.. omg, ridiculous).
If Justin thinks that them getting back together would be a good move, he is sooooooooooooooo wrong. I really hope he has some half-decent friends to warn him against the curse of the Britney.
I'm free Justin. Pick me, pick me!!

After 5 years and a $100 million contract - Celine gets the boot from Las Vegas.
It's about time.
Vegas is cheesy enough without her.
But... I know she's thinking... "my heart will go on and on.................."
Bye Bye.
Good riddance.

Remember when Ashlee Simpson had black hair and was kinda cool and surprised us all with her awesome first CD? Yeah, I do. She used to be fucking great. And now she's a clone of her sister (sans good taste in guys - come on Ash, who are these dudes) and has not contributed positively to my life in any way (aka her fabulous MTV reality show a few years ago). I miss my old Ashlee. Not gonna lie - she does look amazing - but as Jessica Jr. not Ashlee.

Does anyone think Pink is sorta man-ish? It's not that I like her or don't - just an observation.
