Video: Coheed & Cambria – Gravemakers and Gunslingers (Official)

Here we have the latest video “Gravemakers and Gunslingers” by one of my favorite rock bands out today, Coheed & Cambria.

Not sure if this is a single or not, but the video is compiled of live shots and what looks to be behind the scenes footage of their shows.

I got a chance to see these guys in Detroit @ The Fillmore (State Theater) and let me tell you, their live show was amazing! Check the vid…

Note: This video could very well be removed off of YouTube, so I will do my best to keep the link updated…

Alicia Keys Wants To Get With The White Stripes

According to Rollingstone.com, Alicia Keys is looking to work with The White Stripes:

During a phone-in press conference yesterday, Alicia Keys talked about her favorite hair style, her love of Juicy sweatpants and her desire to collaborate with the White Stripes. “They’re very raw, very cut and dry. It’s like drums and guitar,” she said. “It’s that simple, and I love that.” Keys said ever since her duet with Keith Urban at last year’s Live Earth concert, she’s been exploring other team-ups, and also listed Queens of the Stone Age, Linkin Park and Coldplay as partners she’d like to work with. But Jack and Meg top her list. “I think that combining that style with mine, which already has a raw feel to it, and my voice, I just think we could do something really interesting that mixes rock and soul together, the blues and emotion, and it could be really touching,” Keys added. As for when the possible collaboration may take place, Keys said “We’ve had some conversations. When the time works out, and it definitely will, it will happen.”

Quote of the Day: 5/16

“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous.

Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign

country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous

statement…He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased

the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this

vulnerability the United States has.”

- The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, on President Bush’s comments

I couldn’t agree more! Biden seems like a firey dude…I like that.

Also: awesome that he used the words bullshit and malarkey!

Orlando Newspaper Creates ‘Sheed Mask

The funny guys down there at the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper (or whatever the hell it’s called) have created a Rasheed Wallace mask for Orlando Magic fans attending tonight’s game three versus the Detroit Pistons…

How witty!

Here’s what the article had to say, according to the Detroit Free Press:

Take this mask, paste it on some cardboard to turn it into a sign and help the Orlando Magic beat the Detroit Pistons tonight by disrupting the focus of Rasheed Wallace, known as the “Walking Technical Foul.”

We all know the Magic are down 2-0. They cannot lose a home game if they hope to have any chance of getting out of the second round of the NBA playoffs. They need your help.

And Wallace is their emotional weak link. You can rattle him. The mask is Step One and some appropriate snarky comment is Step Two. After all, it was Wallace who said after Game 1: “You can’t rattle us. We ain’t no punks.”

Sure you are, ‘Sheed. But the Magic players can’t waste any energy or focus on playing trash-talking games. Magic fans must do it for them. So, gang, put a sweet message on your sign, too. Give Wallace something to think about — something to get mad about.

Don’t like any of mine from the box? Then think of your own. But we have given you the ammunition and the rest is up to you. And don’t be critical of creating signs and trash talking because it’s always been the way the game is played, going back to biblical times.

After all, it was David, when facing Goliath, who is quoted in the book of Samuel as saying: “I will strike you down and remove your head from you.”

It worked for him (along with the slingshot and the rock).

•DISCLAIMER: It is true that Wallace supports a lot of community work and has a foundation — Stand Tall With Sheed — that assists in youth development. But until this series is over, he is Darth Sheed and should be treated as such. Wave those signs!

The newspaper was also clever enough to come up with this:

10 shots at Rasheed

10 things to say to Sheed for Game 3:

10. Hey, punk, this sign’s for you.

9. Stuff pooped on your head. (What is that spot, anyway?)

8. You wear LeBron pajamas. (Of course, I do, too.)

7. You look great in Grand Theft Auto. (Good for the teens.)

6. Hey, Chauncey, our clock keeps ticking. (OK, this one is for Chauncey Billups, but we can’t ignore how Detroit stole Game 2 by hiring former ref Tim Donaghy to run the game clock.)

5. Charles Barkley dropped you from his Fav Five.

4. Rasheed is redickulous.

3. Sam Cassell thinks you’re ugly. (No comment needed.)

2. The guy behind me can’t see. (This is sure to get you on TV.)

1. Win or lose, you’ve got to go back to Detroit.

————————————————–

Allow me to paraphrase everything this article just stated:

We are the Orlando Magic. The Pistons are good. I mean, really good…better than we thought. We can’t beat the Pistons straight up, so, we’ve created these masks as a distraction. Maybe these masks will make Sheed mad enough to where he’ll get ejected from the game! We know that Rasheed Wallace is one of, if not your best players and we are scared of him, but we don’t want to admit it. Oh and, ummm, haha you live in Detroit! Detroit sucks!

Quote of the Day: 5/6

“Brandon Inge hopes you still think of him as your third baseman…

but then, so does Miguel Cabrera, who is still getting used to his new city,

and meanwhile the man who replaced both of them at third, Carlos Guillen,

wouldn’t mind being a young shortstop again, and someday they all hope

to start a rock and roll band. (On guitar: Joel Zumaya!)”

Video: The Roots – Rising Up (Official)

I just picked up the new Roots CD the other day, Rising Down, and let me say, after a few listen throughs, I like it a lot.

The Roots are an amazing hip-hop group and have been for a long time. They’ve grown on me more and more as I listen to all the bullshit rap out on the radio and the stuff that comes out today.

Here’s the first single and video “Rising Up,” off of the new LP. This song gets me pretty hype and in a good mood. Hope you enjoy it…
