Exile in Baton Rouge

The WIRED CD: Rip. Sample. Mash. Share. These musicians are saying that true creativity needs to be open, fluid, and alive. When it comes to copyright, they are pro-choice. Here are 16 songs that encourage people to play with their tunes, not just play them.

How cool is that! Via Stereogum

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr Helen Caldicott paints a very scary picture of the reinstatement of Bush, "I don't know if we'll survive the next four years ... I don't think the Americans have, on the whole, the faintest idea - and I have to say also I don't think most Australians do either." I am more fearful of the eminent disastrous events that will unfold after two bottles of wine at Christmas dinner, when I start laying into my sister's republican fiance.

Would ANYONE else get the lead in The Da Vinci Code? Is Tom Hanks the most appallingly overrated actor of our time? Why do I feel the urge to smack him in the head? Is "The Terminal" the worst movie ever made? Director Ron Howard says it all, "Tom is an exciting actor to watch thinking,"

The new Jimmy Eat World (Futures) is pretty damn good considering their rip-roaring success with Bleed America, and the usual sophomore slump. I've been listening to an advance copy for a while now.... leave it to Uncle Grambo to reveal that my favourite musician is doing backups. I didn't even recognize her voice!

"We're all fans of Exile, so maybe a bit of a crush thing was happening," Adkins said. "She definitely brings the sexiness. An unquantifiable sexiness, sure, but she definitely brings it. She was super cool to work with. 'Work' sounded like something she would sing, so we hunted her down through people we knew in Los Angeles. We showed her the song, she really liked it, so she came down and sang on it."

QUICK, look, it may be your last chance to see Kylies bum!!! Thanks for the email Mr. Cuthbert.

Last year in Paris, I was out with my mate Dez, at a French hip hop show, and this beautiful girl was dancing near me. Dez explained that Parisian girls liked to be danced with, and went and did the ol' "Mon ami vous aime" line in her ear. She came over and started dancing with me, and I nearly hyper ventilated. After about an hour, I finally got the nerve to ask, "Habitez-vous a Paris?"

In response, I got, "I'm from Baton Rouge Louisiana, where' you from?"

All I could say was, "Is it true that in Baton Rougebeavers have built a dam with $52,000 of stolen bills?

...and I never heard from her again...
