METALLICA - THE DAY THAT NEVER COMES - VIDEO

hey hey! i'll admit to being a closet fan of metallica and the band (first formed back in 1981 right here in los angeles) is back with a brand new album - their 9th studio effort entitled death magnetic drops on september 12th and was produced by the legendary rick rubin - the video for the first single the day that never comes (the band's fortieth) just dropped the other day and at over 8 minutes long - it's definitely a video of epic proportions and the song reminds me how much i seriously love lead singer lars ulrich's voice! (i don't think you'd catch me at a metallica concert but i for sure appreciate the band) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo

UPDATE! yes i know i made a mistake - for some reason i thought lars was the lead singer...shame on me for not getting my metallica facts straight! james hetfield is actually the guy behind the voice i love (and mr. ulrich is the band's kick-ass drummer...) thanks to everyone who left a comment to let me know about my unintended mix-up!

RANDY JACKSON & RYAN SEACREST GET CLOSER

good evening y'all! i'm not the hugest fan of chef rachael ray (although i always do love a little evoo) but when i came across this picture from when she decided to crash the american idol auditions in NYC for a segment on her TV show (the episode airs on september 8th) i was taken aback by the unexpected intimate moment caught on film - apparently randy jackson and ryan seacrest decided to get extra close while tasting one of ms. ray's speciality wraps! i'm sure there was plenty to go around so i don't know quite why the guys needed to share in a bite...i bet simon cowell totally had a clever & snappy quipe for what transpired! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

PETER, BJORN & JOHN VS THE CURE - MASHUP!

good morning! oh i'm loving this short work week (tomorrow is already friday) and this coming sunday i'll be covering the video music awards which i'm extra excited about since MTV confirmed yesterday that britney spears is going to open the show - not a performance but something supposedly fun and unexpected...anyways right now i've got the latest mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. - i hate to admit this but i've never been a huge fan of the cure yet i really do like this mashup a lot! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


† FROM DJ PAUL V.
Every once in awhile a song comes along that gets so stuck in your head, you need a crowbar to get it out. That's what happened with a lot of people when they heard Sweden's finest, Peter, Bjorn, & John, and their fresh 'n hip 'Young Folks' a couple of years ago. Me, I still love the damn thing, and if you add in another favorite band of mine - The Cure - well, hell, I'll be whistling dixie for the rest of the year. It's French mixer Mighty Mike who was up to the task of bringing them together.

† Listen to Mighty Mike - Forest Folks [.mp3 10.5mb] †

Enjoy - DJ Paul V.
