Meeting of the mind: Robert Plant and Jessica Simpson

October 30th, 2007

This photograph just absolutely blows my mind. The lead singer of one of the greatest rock bands of all time conversing with a talentless rack of fake tits with ears. I cannot fathom what these two would have to chat about, and Plant’s expression is astounding. He looks as though he’s fully aware how irretrievably […]

Worst-lyricists ever?

October 18th, 2007

Blender’s lists always need to be taken with an extra grain of salt, but this one  sort of semi-accurately collects a handful of the some of the worst offenders. The order just seems a bit jumbled.

A critic, a monkey and Phil Collins all walk into a (candy) bar…

Beat the rush, pre-order Chinese Democracy today!

September 14th, 2007

Yeah, go ahead plonk down your hard-earned shekels for this now. The projected release date is December 2008. I’m sure it will ship on time. What’s a 15-month wait, when you’ve been waiting 14 years? It may be safer to add it to your wishlist, but that’s not very rock ‘n roll, now is it?

Pencils down!

September 7th, 2007

The AV Club’s Steven Hyden has found “the most rockin’ song of all time.” “I’m going way out on a limb here, and I’m probably just asking for trouble, but I think I’ve found the most rockin’ song of all time. Not the best, not my favorite, not the most essential and not the most […]
