Opinion / Jason Younger / News It's Miss Jackson if you're nasty...
Posted By Jason Younger on Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 12:46 PM
If history has taught us anything, it’s that one small event can change the world. Especially if that one small event involves Michael Jackson’s little sister’s boob. Take a trip down memory lane with me if you will...
In 2001, the NFL made the interesting decision to let MTV “produce” the Super Bowl halftime show. In what can now be referred to as “Lip Synch Fest ’01” the show consisted of a smattering of pop, hip-hop and rock with Aerosmith, Brittney Spears, ‘N Sync and Nelly. Apparently Milli Vanilli had a prior engagement – how can you NOT include them when they mastered the art of the lip synch? I say this is a travesty even now.
This trend would continue for a total of three Super Bowls (the one exception being in 2002 when U2 did a tribute to the victims of 9/11) culminating in the now infamous “Wardrobe Malfunction” in 2004. You KNEW with MTV producing these things that something was bound to happen. You know the rest of the story. Miss Jackson shows the world her throwing star and MTV is left to “produce” crappy award shows on their own network.

News Flaming Lips to show "Dark Side", Paul Simon at Bonnaroo
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 5:48 PM
The last time the Flaming Lips played Bonnaroo, their set started around midnight and they shocked the crowd by opening up with a full-on cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" as a sound check.
Though the complete lineup for this year's festival has yet to be announced — it's going to happen on Feb. 9 — Spinner.com is reporting that the Lips will be performing "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety for the 2010 festival.
The band will hit the stage around midnight, perform a 2.5-hour set and then launch into its cover of the album.
Another post online states that Paul Simon will be one of the headliners at this year's festival.
While other bands haven't been announced, there's no doubt this will sell some tickets.

On TV / Awards / Opinion / Jeff Hahne / News Grammy results — Awards and predictions
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:13 AM
You can see a list of all of the winners of last night's Grammy Awards here. As you may or may not know, I gave my thoughts and predictions for all 109 categories last week.
So, how'd I do? I got 57 of them wrong, 52 right. I didn't do so well in the producer and engineer categories, the instruemental, gospel, country or latin categories...
I was correct with most of the big ones — Record of the Year (Kings of Leon), Album of the Year (Taylor Swift), Song of the Year (Beyonce), Best New Artist (Zac Brown Band), Best Pop Vocal Album (Black Eyed Peas), Best Electronica/Dance Album (Lady Gaga)...
On a handful of categories I had a toss-up between two artists and chose the wrong one. Other times, I had a feeling one person was going to win, but I wanted someone else.
Oddly, I also predicted the winners for Best Musical Album for Children, Best Bluegrass Album, Best Americana Album, Best Tejano Album, Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album, Best Recording Package, Best Historical Album, Best Chamber Music Performance, Best Classical Crossover Album and a bunch of others...
