2011 MTV Video Music Awards Live Blog
It’s the 2011 version of the VMAs and really, other than who has a hot single, what’s the real difference from year to year? You take a bunch of famous pop stars, give them tons of alcohol, and just let them act the fool on live TV. I think the real question should be: Who is going to do something that makes the Twitter go crazy? Kanye, Lady Gaga, or how about Kanye? My money’s on Kanye. I have my […]
Katy Perry (and the Usual Suspects) Lead MTV VMA Noms
I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t too early for VMA Nominations to be announced. Lo and behold, we’re almost done with July, and now is the usual time that the nominees for the show-an MTV institution since 1984-to be announced. To (what should be) no one’s surprise, the leading nominees are Katy Perry, Adele and Kanye West. Whatever you think of the music made by any of these artists, you have to admit that Perry […]
Blerd Radio Episode 8: Me, Grandpaw Jimmy & The Mysterious Celebrity Porno Renter
For Blerd Radio Episode 8, I turned to Jimmy , who hosts his own show entitled “Funny Like Car Accident Funny”. Over a wide ranging hour, we combined to bellyache about pertinent issues including: -Christine O’Donnell’s love of witchcraft. -Our need for a publicist to get us on “Real Time with Bill Maher” -What happens when Derek Jeter’s contract runs out at the end of this season (you think perhaps us talking about the Yanks was a bad luck charm?) -Whatever […]
Chart Chat 9/23/10: Linkin Park and Trey Songz In A Photo Finish!
1,005 units separate this week’s #1 and #2 albums in one of the closest races for the top spot in history. The eventual victor? Rock giants Linkin Park score the top spot with 241,000 units sold of their fourth studio album, “A Thousand Suns”. While that sum is healthy, it is cause for alarm considering that LP’s last album, “Minutes to Midnight”, debuted with triple that sum just three short years ago. Linkin Park’s sound has gradually evolved over the […]
Award Show Sundays: The Nirvana Concussion Episode
I didn’t have MTV until 1994, by which time I was 18 years old. Well, slight correction-there was MTV available in my various residences from 1984-1994, but I wasn’t allowed to watch it on the rare occasions when I was even allowed to control the TV that had cable (long story). I was lucky, however, because for a few years in the late Eighties and early Nineties, the MTV VMAs would run on network TV (usually Fox, but I could […]
It’s a (Lucky) 13 for GaGa: VMA Nominations Announced
Combine an eye for the dramatic with commercial success and what do you get? A record-breaking thirteen nominations for Lady GaGa when this year’s MTV Video Music Award nods were announced. GaGa responded to her nominations in typical outlandish fashion by saying: “A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for 3 reasons: To make loud music, gay videos, and cause […]
