Furthur Festival Announced For Memorial Day Weekend

Furthur recently added the poster above to their website with no other details.  One would assume the Mountain Aire mentioned would be the same area up in Angel's Camp, CA that hosted the Mountain Aire festivals of yore.  Quite a bit of detailed analysis there huh.  We'll keep you updated with details as we hear them but for anyone out west that was looking for something fun to do over Memorial Day weekend you just got yourself a pretty swell option.  Let's hope Furthur drummer Joe Russo brings his buddy Marco Benevento along, wouldn't that be swell.

Ryan Adam Streams Electrosnake Metal

New Ryan Adams music on a Friday?  Yes please.  This time of the "metal" variety.  From the man himself

We're going to begin pressing ORION -- my most legit METAL record -- on vinyl next week. Have a listen to the song below and let us at PAXAM know if you'd be interested in purchasing one.

P.S. Not a single B.C. Rich was hurt in the making of this record. 

Today certainly just got a lot better.  No word yet on whether we are dealing with an actual LP, EP, or even just one of those nice little singles he likes to put on vinyl.  Either way awesome.  You can check out the new track Electrosnake below and you can head on over to the official site to vote on whether or not you would buy it.  Good times.

In Defense Of Furries

I can't do this video justice with a witty description, so I'm going to give you the official hate filled youtube description.

I see a lot of you are still rascist agianst Furries. i will have to leave this video up in hope that someone lerns from your mistakes. You are the ones going to HELL for your bigitry.
THIS IS WHAT A FURRY REALY IS

UPDATE:
Your all just proven my point with your angry responses. Your racisct and ignorent A-holes who cant juyst let a peace loving comunity enjoy there live and have equality wih all other races of people. you make me sick  [via youtube]

The thing that amazes me the most about this video is that the kid's dad is just sitting there listening to all this like it's no big deal.  Although to be fair the kid doesn't implicitly state that the individual lounging behind him listening to him wax poetic about all things furries is in fact his dad, so maybe it's just a furry friend. 

One other thing I love is the unbelievably terrible glare on the top half of the video.  If you're going to make a video to put on youtube wherein you explain the wild misconceptions that many people have about furries, I would think that part of your plan would be to make sure that the video was clearly viewable.  But then again if you are into furries I would imagine the best things are always hidden.  Sort of like how a donkey's penis is really big but you can't even see it until you get him excited.  Not that I know from experience or anything, but that's what the internet says.   [via buzzfeed]

Watch The National Debut Vanderlylle Cry Baby In Brooklyn

After debuting Terrible Love, the first song off their new album High Violet, The National had a not so secret show in Brooklyn last night where they debuted some more material off the new album.  Here is the track Vanderlylle Cry Baby recorded by a fan last night at the show.  Doesn't really build into the standard anthemic tunes The National are so famous for but definitely continues the brooding.  [via pitchfork]

Galifianakis Teases Between Two Ferns With Ben Stiller

I hate to tease you on a Friday but it's not my fault.  Here is a bit from the upcoming episode of the unbelievably great Zach Galifianakis talk show Between Two Ferns featuring Ben Stiller.  Aside from Natalie Portman and Conan, this is probably the most excited I've been about a guest.  The entire "show" featuring Ben Stiller will premiere next Wednesday March 17th.  Just as an FYI there is some swearing but nothing you wouldn't expect from a conversation about porn titles and Meet The Fockers.

Friday's Foreign Covers: Just The Way You Are

We're going to head on over to Spain for this week's Friday's Foreign Cover for a pretty awesome jazzed up version of Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are.   At first I thought it was a little excessive but that was just the intro. Unfortunately I stopped trying to speak spanish when I learned that saying "taco" gets food in my belly regardless of location, so I can't translate the following which explains who this is and what they are doing.

And there you have it.  Big Band Dukebbjazz doing the Billy Joel classic all the way from Spain.  Happy Friday everyone.

Watch Heavy Metal Parking Lot Online For Free

Originally I was under the impression I would be able to embed the video here but apparently it's just a stupid widget that will take you over to Snag Films where you can watch the movie.  You don't have to sign up or do anything fancy but it is annoying so for that I apologize.  Or is it too late to apologize?  It's too late.

If you have never seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot do yourself a favor and head on over there.  The film essentially just shows a bunch of people partying in the parking lot before a Judas Priest show, so it's not just a clever title.  The show takes place in Largo, Maryland in 1986 so you seriously best be prepared for that kind of awesome.  Seriously, listen to this borderline romantic description.

It is the quintessential ‘80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ‘70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. 

If I had an assistant I would totally be demanding some PBR and my mullet wig.  For now I'll just have to settle with blasting some Judas Priest.  Take that neighbors!

 

Broken Bells Perform The Ghost Inside On Fallon

It's pretty great when bands play different songs on different late night shows, instead of trying to force feed the single to fans.  I'm happy to report that Broken Bells agree with that sentiment as their appearance last night on Jimmy Fallon saw the group perform the track The Ghost Inside.  You may remember their recent visit to Letterman where they played their single The High Road.  Both songs are pretty great but you already knew that because you listened to the incredibly awesome album.  Rock.   [via the audio perv]

Ocho Cinco Is Doing A VH1 Dating Show

If you are a Cincinnati Bengals fan I am sure you will be extremely pleased to hear what Chad Ocho Cinco is doing this offseason.  He will be working out harder than ever so as to try and finally put the team over the top.  Oh wait, maybe not.

“The Tournament” will start with Ocho Cinco finding his “first 85″ by traveling all over the country meeting women that may be interested in dating him. Then, during the first episode, he will narrow the playing field down to the sweet sixteen – four women from each of the four regions of the country – Northern, Western, Southern and Central Divisions. The sixteen chosen women will be invited to join Ocho Cinco for the rest of the tournament-style dating competition.

Once the competition begins, Ocho Cinco will follow a tournament bracket where each of the ladies will have an opportunity to spend quality time with him while also facing off against one another in double-dates. The winner of each dating face-off will receive a game ball from Ocho Cinco and move on to the next round of the tournament, while the loser goes home. Ultimately the sweet sixteen will be narrowed down to eight and then the final four. In the end, the championship date between the two remaining women will result in Ocho Cinco awarding his chosen love the coveted Championship Ring. Hopefully, she turns out to be his greatest catch this season!  [via tv by the numbers]

I doubt anyone in Cincy is really hoping that his greatest catch this season will occur on a dating show, although I'm sure some people think it will be.  The ten episode one hour series is set to premiere in July, just in time to start a circus at training camp. 

This little tidbit is pretty funny too considering all that happened.

This is the second recent greenlight in the dating genre since last year's Ryan Jenkins scandal. The deal reteams VH1 with co-producer 51 Minds, the "Megan Wants a Millionaire" production company that cast Jenkins without discovering his violent past. In the wake of the headlines, the network declared it wanted to get away from dating shows, but in recent weeks has started to re-embrace the format. [via the live feed]

Wait so you're saying VH1 didn't really mean it when they said they cared about casting murderers?  Next thing you're going to tell me is that they don't even play music videos.
