Hotness In The Blogsphere
Jay over at Hiphopmusic.com provided the news of MC Hammer coming back in Full Blast attacking Eminem and Busta Rhymes. He raps about his return to the scene saying he never really left but was standing on the sidelines watching other artists call themselves rappers. His lyrics say he is the ultimate rapper because he has accomplished much more and he’s about rapping and dancing. Okay, moving on.
So RY RY told NME that he could have been paralyzed after he fell of stage in an interview on Jan. 25th.
"They said it'll take at least six weeks or two months. That's for the bones to take. They might have to wire it together with metal wires. The guess now is that I could lose up to 20 per cent of the mobility in my wrist. That's the percentage I won?t be able to bend it any more. My fingers and hand will be fine but I'll have to re-train my wrist. We'll see about guitar but it might make me a great piano player! I have a feeling I'll be able to pull through. It's all about making sure I can get my wrist about a guitar."
We get the impression that Ry Ry is a bit of whinner not just because he effed up his hand and boo hoo hoo hoo but because of this voicemail message to Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun Times that Scott Stereogum posted on his site earlier this month.Dr. Dre gets the boot from Power 105 but Ed Lover stays. (link via Hiphopmusic). They already took off Dre's info off of their site. Ouch!
Belle & Sebastian have created their very own computer game to celebrate the release of their next single 'I'M A CUCKOO'. Play the game here and you might win a chance to see them play live in Barcelona.

Subject: a question
why don't you ever post pictures of yourself???!!! i bet you're hot!
love your site, though ;)
Well, it's not like there's a whole anonymity issue cause our Friendster profile is already linked on this site. We are happy to be the ones taking pictures rather than the subject. The Blueprint (She's a celebrity now, don't ya know), Ultragrrrl, SaucyDame and Melody Nelson has already filled the blogsphere quota of hotness but thanks.
