TOP 10 SONGS OF 2008
The more and more I think about it, I must consider 2008 to be one of the worst years for music in the 21st century. That is to take nothing away from the artists who made this list, because all of these songs are great. But it really was a down year - in general - for almost every genre outside of pop.
These are my 10 favorite songs from the past year. I highly recommend them to you all….

LISTEN TO THE SONGS HERE:
10. “YOU KNOW WHAT” N.E.R.D.
9. “UR SO GAY” KATY PERRY

WEEKLY POP CULTURE UPDATE (7.22.08)
Ass of The Week : Christian Bale
According to reports, Christian Bale, who plays Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman, in The Dark Knight, assaulted his mother and sister in London over the weekend. They say never hit a girl … and one would assume that your MOTHER AND SISTER are at the top of that list. I just want to know, was he wearing the suit? Maybe he was pissed he had to use that lame Batman voice for half of the movie.
Nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-nana-DOUCHEBAG.

The Dark Knight - #1 on IMDB.com Top 250
There have been a lot of pissed off The Godfather fanboys as well as overzealous Batman fanboys at the largest internet movie database on earth, IMDB.com. The Dark Knight has taken over the #1 spot on IMDB’s Top 250 Movies Of All Time list (held by The Godfather as long as I can remember). New movies are generally inflated on the list and after a few weeks begin to cool down, but it doesn’t look like The Dark Knight is going anywhere anytime soon. I don’t think it’s the best movie of all time, but neither is The Godfather…

One Day As A Lion - EP
My favorite vocalist of all time, Zack De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, has FINALLY released his long awaited solo project, One Day As A Lion with the drummer from The Mars Volta. Released today, July 22, 2008, this EP is phenomenal. “Wild International” is old school Zack at his best and would fit in great on any Rage album. Buy this now.
