Shakira Done Did It Again
I got Shakira’d out when I lived in Mexico. I mean really, how many times can you hear the same song in an hour? Compound that with her more or less undecipherable singing voice and extremely terrible, hyper-sexualized, Gaga-esque single She Wo...
Killa Cam Hates His Job, Jim Jones Says Na Na Nana Na Na
So after several weeks of bellyaching about DipSet, Nick emails me the other day to put me up on Camron’s new joint I Hate My Job. I’m not even going to wait for the bottomline today: I dig it. Killa Cam re-achieves relevance with his bes...
Neal Is Still Waiting For The D.E.Y To Come
I don’t know what is going on here. I still can not get my hands on The D.E.Y.’s debut LP The DEY Has Come. I mean, I could buy the import EP - but $35-45? Seriously Amazon? So fuck, what is a guy to do? Troll YouTube and MTV.com of cou...
This Week’s Music Videos Suck - So How About A Quickie?
Oh sorry - were you expecting a long drawn out music video review? Here is the thing. I am so unimpressed with the recent crop of videos that I just cannot bring myself to dedicate more than a sentence or two to each of them. Please enjoy these (hop...
Beyonce May Be A Diva - But She Ain’t No Hustler
Look Out! Neal Shyam is bringing the ruckus with a fresh music video review. Beyonce dropped new videos for Halo and Diva last week, and after viewing both, I decided to train my sights on the greater of two evils. My assessment covers both track a...
Podcast Episode 065 - Cowboys and Lesbians
My Bloody Valentine in 3D was fun for Nick, Neal thinks Elizabeth Banks was miscast in The Uninvited, both Neal and Nick think The Last Airbender movie has been miscast too, arguing about Colin Hanks leads to arguing about Jack Black, Nick liked Sean...
T-Pain Wants You To Freeze (on the dance floor)
New year, new music videos. That’s what I say. Well, maybe not - but in this case it’s true. T-Pain just dropped his new video for Freeze featuring Chris Brown on MTV2, and I’ve already run it through my mindgrapes just for you. As ...
Podcast Episode 060 - Stick a Hundo in There
Video game documentaries The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters and Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade show two different versions of Billy Mitchell, Bigger Faster Stronger makes Neal want to take steroids, Kinamand makes Nick hungry for Chinese food...
Throwback Video - Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
Last week I took you back to Monterrey, Mexico circa 2006 and told you all about Julietta Venegas. I enjoyed that so much that this week I’m throwing it back even further, back to 1998 and one of my shitty weather favorites: Eagle-Eye Cherry...
Julietta Venegas Reminds Me of a Richer Time
Let me take you back a few months - 24 to be exact. Back to a time when the Tequila flowed down my gullet and coming in to work on Saturday was de rigeur. My five months in Monterrey, Mexico were the most gluttonous period in my life. I boozed, ate o...
Busta Rhymes Makes Arab Money - Makes Neal Puke
Usually, I don’t bring my work life to the AS - but this economic crisis is really effin stuff up. Suffice it to say, things just went a little pearshaped for me and I’m not in the mood to write a music video review. (Ed. note: no, I did ...
Lil Wayne - Mrs. Officer - “I Said Lady What’s Your Number, She Said 911″
I give Lil Wayne a hard time here at the AudioShocker, I really do. I’ve also said that 2008 has been the year of Weezy, T-Pain, and their joint reign of vocoder terror. That said, sometimes you hear a new song on the radio by an artist you don...
Podcast Episode 056 - Beer Goggles Are Dangerous
Quantum of Solace would be better on valium, James Bond seriously needs some gadgets, the Bond girls are boring, All I Want is pathetic but it has typewriters, even T-Pain’s top hat can’t ruin the Ludacris video “One More Drink,R...
Alicia Keys and Jack White Show Bond Another Way To Die
The new bond flick comes out on November 14th (I think?). Girls around the world are amped to see Daniel Craig without his shirt on, while boys want to see dudes get got with that big ass machine gun from the previews. Die hard fans will go to see t...
MTV Puts Entire Catalog Online - YouTube says WHAA?
When you hear about something on Acquire and Uncrate you know you are behind the times. Anyway, it looks like MTV finally pulled its head out of its ass and put their entire video catalog online. Even more exciting is that they have some developer fr...
Kardinal Offishall - Numba 1 (Tide Is High)
Kardinal Offishall has been getting a savage amount of airplay around these parts. At first I wondered how a new artist could have so many music videos out already. A quick Wiki revealed that Offishall has been around for a while and that I really do...
Ne-Yo - She Got Her Own (So What?)
Remixes are a gift and a curse. On one hand, they can introduce a track to a new audience and increase the artist’s visibility astronomically. On the other hand, a remix can overexpose and detract from the quality of the original track. Of cour...
Ludacris - What Them Girls Like? (Our Podcast!)
Ludacris is a great lyricist and Chris Brown is a hot commodity. So obviously putting them together gaurantees a hit. That is the theory behind Luda’s new joint What Them Girls Like. I once speculated that I could tell what girls what were thin...
