Defacing Wolfmother

Someone has defaced Wolfmother's video for "White Unicorn." How dare they!

I saw Wolfmother on their last U.S. tour stop on Wednesday. It was the third time I've seen them and they were incredible. You could tell that they were really happy to be on stage, really stoned or all of the above. They put on an energetic set that had the crowd jumping around, crowd surfing and cheering louder than your usual LA concert-going crowd.

Surprise: Tattoos Are Popular

A new study being released Monday on the American Academy of Dermatology web site will suggest that 24 percent of Americans between 18 and 50 are tattooed. While I haven't done any scientific studies, it seems like more and more people not only have them, but other people don't seem as shocked by them. I wanted to get tattooed when I was a teen, but waited until I was in my late 20s to start. I just felt like I would be more sure about what I wanted. In hindsight, it was a good decision. I currently have 4 large ones between both arms and plan to get another one this year.

EFF vs. MPAA

You're 55 years old and these kids are 17 and they're just smarter than you. So you're gonna lose that one.

That's always somewhere in my argument when I'm talking to old an new in the music industry. The big old industry guys need to listen to the younger generation and involve them. There certainly are people in the industry pushing the envelope, but on the whole they are so behind and it's costing them billions.
