Video Round-Up, 7.24.09

Welcome back to Video Round-Up, where the SD crew picks through the flurry of videos circulating this particular week and posts the highlights.
This week, we’ve got the standard sampling of videos: the special-edition live (Andrew Bird, Beck, Tiny Vipers, Akron/Family), the late-night-TV live (Ray Lamontagne, Metric, the Dead Weather),  the at-a-festival live (Kanye West, Thom [...]

Kanye West Responds to South Park: ‘I Actually Have Been Working on My Ego’

In response to last night’s South Park episode “Fishsticks” Kanye West decided to take a minute to lay down some real talk on his blog:
SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. [...]

Grammys: Hey, That Might Have Been Worth Watching!

I’m not a fan of award shows – too long, too dull, and I don’t really get off on seeing celebrities glammed up and celebrating themselves. Last night’s Grammy Awards, however, had some pretty cool performances – not enough to sit through the whole thing, but great for YouTube highlights. The winner was definitely an [...]

Hype Machine’s Blog Zeitgeist = Bottled Awesomeness

Hype Machine — which for those who don’t know (and you should), is a great resource for finding music and music blogs — introduced the Music Blog Zeitgeist earlier this week and it has to be one of the coolest online music projects ever put together. The basic idea is that the music blog aggregator [...]

N.A.S.A. Recruits Dozens of Musicians for Top-Secret Mission

I’m not sure if I’ve been under a rock on this one, but I’ve never heard of N.A.S.A. (the DJ duo, not the space agency). Luckily for them, they were obviously on the radars of more important people – their debut album, The Spirit of Apollo, features a veritable who’s who of indie-rock, rap and [...]

Ben Sollee vs. Kanye West. Yawn.

OK, OK … I’ll bite. We got an e-mail from the folks at XO Publicity about a new song their client Ben Sollee just released called, “Dear Kanye.” Judging from the subject line (”Ben Sollee Disses Kanye West – First Folk Hip Hop Battle!” Yep.) the song is apparently a diss track. From Ben Sollee. [...]

Tha Carter III: More Lil Wayne, Less Pop Please

As with all things Lil Wayne, you always end up having to take the good with the bad: Dude is undeniably talented, but he’s also a bit of a trainwreck. His swagger and magnetic personality are most of what makes him great, but it also causes him to take things a bit far, like claiming [...]

The Worst Music Blog Ever: KanyeUniverseCity.com

Need a new sauna? Maybe you’re looking for that Estrella table featured in Dwell Magazine? No, you came to Kanye West’s blog because you were wondering what home entertainment system to purchase (he ONLY uses Bang & Olufsen).
I guess it’s no surprise that Kanye West is absolutely insane, but his blog only confirms it. Never [...]
