I mean, who doesn't already know that 'life is short', moment's (are suppose to be) worth cherishing, sigh . . . and even though God's Word says it's gonna get worse before it gets better, some people seem to go on clueless as to somehow self destroy; I mean, Arnold said in the movie, “T2”, (It's in your nature to destroy yourselves). Why do we as humanity prove that to be true? It just seems that humanity for as long as I've been on this rock, humanity seems to keep justifying 'judgment day', as every

In todays society we know that the moral fiber of our communities is in peril. Why then, do we not protect our children? We have a responsibility to safeguard our most vulnerable; instead, we prematurely catapult them into a world they are not mature enough to handle and destroy their innocence. Frequently, I am asked by parents and friends of aspiring stars to offer my opinion about getting their child into show business. Recently my publicist, Marsha Friedman, President of Event Management sent me the following question: After the performance I spoke with her mom (who was in tears the whole time) about their incredible daughter and her future. Their daughter's dream is to be on stage singing professionallyI said I would forward some information to you - to get your thoughts. After much contemplation, I wrote to the parents (excerpt):

The Five Deadly Venoms have quickly and rightfully earned a reputation at the top of New York City’s vibrant bluegrass scene. The band is comprised of first-call instrumentalists and award-winning pickers who have come together to carve a fresh, exciting, and unique vision of American acoustic and Bluegrass music. Their self-titled debut album was made with three-time Grammy award-winning engineer Dave Sinko in Nashville and showcases the group's impressive vocal talent and serious musicality. This is a band you will not want to miss seeing. Playing live at Boulevard Music in Culver City on July 10th.

The Foreign Exchange is Phonte of Little Brother and producer extraordinaire Nicolay - their new album, Leave It All Behind is out now. "With electronic and live sounds, emotional production and excellent vocals from some of the underground scene's best, … (an) open and experimental take on hip-hop and soul, highly successful, at that." -Prefix

LA’s Busdriver has returned to jolt rap back into shape with the virtuoso, gatling gun vocal stylings and poignant (and at times dadaist) lyricism of his new record, Jhelli Beam (out June 9th on ANTI).

Performing live at Knitting Factory Hollywood Thursday June 18th.

Their debut CD Exquisite Corpse is featured in Amoeba’s Home Grown program! "Warpaint’s sound is reminiscent of Mazzy Star’s heroin-styled ambient musings, but there’s a certain childlike character that colors the darkness of their music. Maybe it’s the playful lilt of their voices. Or their tendency to trade off vocal harmonies with unison singing that brings to mind twisted takes on childhood sing-alongs." - Hannis Brown, www.kevchino.com

good morning! rather than talking about the main story on STAR magazine this week (more on the whole jon & kate gosselin scandal - ugh - a total snoozer for me - read details here if you're actually interested in what goes on with those two) i'm going to touch upon two of the side stories - first up is angelina jolie - the magazine is still claiming she's pregnant again - and is even suggesting she was showing a slight baby bump when she walked the red carpet over in cannes for her partner brad pitt's inglourious basterds film premiere! there's a bunch of pictures below from that day - maybe there's a slight bump but it could be anything - i think we'll probably see ms. jolie pregnant again at some point but i don't believe she is right now but only time will tell! next up is haylie duff - hilary's older sister - who most definitely had a little plastic surgery - on both her nose and chin - which had semi-harsh angles - they've now seemed to have been all smoothed out! so many people have had work done in ho

We at EFF have long lamented that, too often, incumbent industry leaders use law as a weapon to quell disruptive innovators, to the detriment of competition, innovation, and the public. Here's how Larry Downes puts it in a recent Forbes interview about his forthcoming book due out in October, The Laws of Disruption: Where innovators must improve is anticipating legal challenges at the heart of their products and services. These come not from the government but from competitors, who use the legal system to slow or stop the progress of innovations they don't like. The more radical the innovation, the more likely that traditional competitors will use the courts to slow or stop your progress. That's a natural consequence of the widening gap between technology's potential to change our lives and our ability to adapt quickly. The tendency for technological innovation to change the rules of an industry is invariably faster than the industry wants to change. Law is one of the principal weapons of resistance. When it
