Lost, Not Found.

Hold the phone - you mean to tell me that Gregg is this big of a Lost fan and they haven't given him a cameo yet? His hair already looks like he lives in the jungle, he's constantly in the state of Lost homeostasis — both sweaty and attractive — and would have made a much better Karl than the shrimpy boy who played him, turning that brainwashing video into the base for a new track remixed with sounds of the island.

On the list of bad ideas J.J. Abrams has had, this ranks somewhere between that polar bear and trying to justify Hugo never losing weight.

Bonus Footage: HYMNS 

 

Donald unearthed some extra footage from HYMNS' couch session last week. Judging from their chalky skills, I have a feeling that these boys were always the first ones in school to jump up and answer math problems on the board.

West Whine

Pitchfork.com: Kanye West Returns To Blog Rant Glory

 

Because of that track on Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening, I'm no longer able to read something like "IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!!" without hearing it in Aziz Ansari's ridiculous voice.

Rebels Without More Than A Cause

The band's personal storage locker was broken into and Michael Been's (Robert's dad and our sound man) had his vintage equipment stolen. Items were 1954 Fender Esquire (Yellow with Black Pick Guard), 1968 Ampeg Scrolltop Fretless Bass, 1964 Black Fender Precision Bass and a 1968 Gretsch Country Gentleman Single Cutaway. Please repost this and help spread the word - these items were extremely personal and the band, Michael, crew and management are devastated over this brazen act. Thank you."

- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's website [via TMS]. Why is it that only good bands get their equipment stolen? Why can't Boys Like Girls' equipment get looted or Daughtry's guitars be taken instead? Someone's got to reach out to these criminals and get them to log onto Hype Machine and learn a little somethin', stat.

Kings, Jack & A Total Ace-hole

I've sat here for the past twenty minutes trying to figure out how to make a punny remark about Kings of Leon charging $1150 for a leather jacket in their collaboration with clothing line Surface2Air when the only thing I actually want to say is that they are a bunch of alcoholic assholes whose music and "woe-is-me-but-speaking-of-me-I-am-more-famous-than-you-are" attitude I can no longer stand.

Though, if I could have factored out how much a year's supply of Jack Daniels for one Followill would have costed, I would have been able to say this in a much, much cooler way.
