Britney Spears “Womanizer”

I’m gonna say it. It’s Britney, bitch.

Wilco is currently offering up a free download via their website of an August 23rd performance of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” with Fleet Foxes. The quality of the recording and performance is quite good (as you would imagine). All you have to do is pledge to vote to get the download, or you [...]

The trailer for Notorious, the upcoming biopic on Notorious B.I.G. was released today, and the consensus seems to be that this doesn’t look half bad. I’ll agree with that. I’m interested in how they will portray 2Pac and Shug Knight in this movie. We’ll see.
