How Come I End Up Where I Started?

Grammys done sucked. But Radiohead always rules.

I'm (Still) On a Boat



The video premiered as a Digital Short on Saturday's SNL. You know who else made an appearance? The always incredible TV on the Radio as the musical guest. Sound quality wasn't at it's best, but they always bring the energy in spades. Catch their performance of "Golden Age" below.



R U Professional?

Christian Bale is a number one tool these days. Allegedly assaulting his 61-year old mother and 40 something sister, then exploding at the director of photography on the set of Terminator: Salvation for all the world to hear. Not that I am quick to believe the accusations of estranged family members, but proof of his temper (search for the audio file if you have yet to hear it) is undeniable.

It's so sad, seeing as I use to curl up with my copy of Newsies and dream about CB. From Disney movie star to complete asshole. I guess the pressures of Hollywood will do that to you. Sources close to Bale say the tragic loss of friend Heath Ledger is the cause of Bale's depression and mood swings. Still, it's difficult to feel sympathy for Bale. Pinnacle of strength Michelle Williams is shouldering all the pain of losing Ledger, her child's father, and still managing not to cuss friends, family, and co-workers out.

The Mae Shi made this awesome (ly hilarious) track dedicated to Bale and his outburts, entitled "R U Professional." Bale's grandoise image of himself is the target, with lyrics like "Don't look too deep in his eyes / He can't hide / What's inside of his mind / And it might get a little bit ugly / And you might meet / An American Psycho." Deflate that head of yours Christian, I can't breathe because it's sucking up all the oxygen in North America.


P.S. Have you heard that Chris Brown was arrested for assault? Have you also heard that his rumored victim is Rihanna? Both the stars' scheduled Grammy performances were cancelled, but reps are still keeping their lips sealed.

P.P.S. I didn't watch the Grammy's, and now looking at the winners I'm so glad I didn't. I might have thrown a metal object at my television.
