News Today's Menu (9/26/2008)
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:17 AM
Iced Earth Classically tinged metal, where Iron Maiden meets orchestral dirges that in turn spew power metal with soaring vocals and guitars. They are metal legends in their own right, though, with over two decades of recording and touring. Last year's Framing Armageddon is a concept album, which at first listen seems pretentious but the music gets in your skin with anthemic blasters and operatic vocals. Also on the bill: Saviours and Into Eternity. Amos' Southend (Samir Shukla)

News Ed McMahon turns rapper?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Another sign that times are hard.
According to CNN, Ed McMahon will star in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com, a financial Web site owned by credit bureau Experian.
What we can look forward to:
"When I retired, I was famous," McMahon raps in the video. "I had money and glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It wasn't funny."
After being joined by two scantily clad women, McMahon continues: "Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary/Wife with bad credit was scary, so I got wise/I may have fallen, but I got back up/Now I'm back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks/I told the haters, 'Go on, take a hike'/It's my show now, and I can do what I like.
The big question on everybody's mind: Will he outdo Soulja Boy?

QC After Dark No, it ain't a drag...
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 4:22 PM
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN — that’s the sound you’ll hear at the drag race — at like, 10 million decibels. The volume is so high you can not only hear it, but feel it. The noise revving from the engine literally rattles your body when you’re standing, and vibrates your butt when seated on the bleachers. And it can be heard up to 20 miles away. It’s kinda like an extreme sport where everyone gets to feel a bit of the rush.
Last weekend, I bypassed the Panther’s game where De-Homme beat Da-Bears and went to the drag. (Our boys are looking good this year, are they not?)

I just got an e-mail — talk about last-minute promotion — stating that The Offspring, The Bravery and one of the Madden brothers from Good Charlotte — Benji will be DJing — will all be at Dixie's Tavern on Saturday.
It runs from 6 to 10 p.m. in the Dixie's parking lot. It's free!

News / On TV / Awards R.I.P., TRL!
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 3:22 PM
It was announced today that MTV's TRL will be leaving the air after 10 years.
Good riddance! The network that has all but abandoned music on television is getting rid of one of their only music shows, but also one of the worst out there.
That's what I like — watching screaming teenagers idolize talentless hacks. I'd probably be disappointed if the show ever had good music on it. In this case, it's just another way to get all the garbage off of mainstream media.
See ya, TRL! I won't miss you a bit!
