KANYE + BIEBER = RUN

Kanye dropped this Runaway Love Remix on a recent G.O.O.D. Friday. It's something so ridiculous that you gotta hear. This song is in no sense an upgrade having Bieber — or as Kanye calls him 'JB' — taking on the hook responsibilities. Although I give Kanye props for having the balls to go there, so far, I'm unsold. If the original version of this song is Bieberless, it has a shot.

This track off Mr. West's new album, is pretty solid. Produced by Blink!

TEXTEES OR GLOVES FOR YOUR THUMBS.

Saw this on MTv of all places late last night. Last I checked, texting wasn't such an issue that I needed a typing condom. But the low budget commercial is nothing short of awesomely horrible with its catchy 'Get a Textee' anthem.  I can't wait to see your fat thumbs with these things on.

WEEZER RESORTS TO MORE GIMMICKS TO REMAIN RELEVANT

There was a time when geeky excitement preceded the release of a Weezer album. Sadly, their ability to draw attention to themselves has worn off over the span of lackluster efforts, borrowed interest and desperate collaborations (Lil Wayne, anyone?). Their past videos have featured Muppets, as well as a viral video extravaganza homage, which were fun. I just wonder if their continued reliance on gimmicks to generate buzz has left them complacent and uninterested in ever attempting to refine and reinvent their sound. I personally gave up after Maldroit. Maybe they'll prove us wrong with their upcoming release, Hurley, due out in September. After all, this is their first album since departing Geffen (they are now on Epitaph). I'd love to eat my words for Weezer.

Hurley, like their previous album, Raditude, relies on an album art gimmick to generate interest. This one even comes with a similar 'cover remix' contest that greeted Raditude fans. Unfortunately, an ironic cover such as a flying dog or that bearded fat guy in Lost (Sorry, that's all I know about the show), isn't going to make up for musical performance.

If only Weezer continued to take chances and push themselves like they did during the Pinkerton days, each album wouldn't feel like a watered down version of the one that came before it.  Here's hoping for more substance to this album than the random cover art accompanying it. We'd like the Weezer of the 90ties back, please. Via: Spinner

YOU GOT SEIZED: APPLE GOES GANGSTER

Gizmodo writer, Jason Chen, had his home searched and laptops and harddrives seized via warrant the other day. A little over the top are we, Mr. Jobs? I know your products are awesome, I'm typing on one of them, but I still think this is a publicity stunt to build up free press and buzz. It's definitely not hurting future sales, that's for sure. AAPL stock is riding an all time high and is up 3% today alone. That's a pretty good return on protecting your investments. If only wise fools like myself were smart enough to invest say, 6 years ago, when the iPod was just getting hot.

OVERDRAMATIC INTERVENTION

When I'm feeling bad about myself, I watch Intervention. It's the ultimate pick me up. There's nothing worse than walking in to a firing a squad comprised of the people closest to you. However, it also makes for the most dramatic core of the show. For this family, it also led to quite a few laughs. Man, when you're this far gone, rock bottom sure looks like a far off place. Enjoy your Thursday, drink your Crackade. Everything is going to be alright. Oh, for the Auto-tuned version, check the second video :)

And, of course, this video would not be complete with out the auto-tuned version.



And lastly, my personal favorite, Auto-tune hip hop remix. Great edit.

M.I.A UNLEASHES A SAVAGE MESSAGE IN BORN FREE

M.I.A.: Born Free
Directed by Romain Gavras

An explosive wasteland of a picture depicting an American society devoid of morality. I'm not sure what to think of this... Blending the artist's music into a short film surely has been done by many musicians, but M.I.A. may have gone a tad too far with this politically charged, and no doubt, amazingly shot video from director Romain Gavras. I won't say anything more except this is NSFW. Contains graphic violence, nudity and lawfully permitted use of narcotics. Let the short film roll.

SNL CHERRY BATTLE

Per usual, the only funny skit on SNL last night involved Andy Samberg. Funny thing, no words needed to be spoken, just cherries and lung power.
