Never Had No One Ever


BBC lists it's Top Ten Depressing Songs of All Time or "the songs you cry along to, the ones you shout at, and the tunes that just make you feel a whole lot better":

1 The Smiths – "I Know It's Over"
2 Bowling For Soup – "Girl All The Bad Guys Want"
3 REM – "Everybody Hurts"
4 The Cure – "Pictures Of You"
5 Radiohead – "Fake Plastic Trees"
6 Joy Division – "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
7 Pink Floyd – "Comfortably Numb"
8 Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel – "Don't Give Up"
9 Blur – "This Is A Low"
10 The Beatles – "Good Day Sunshine"

Umm...no Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Solomon Burke, Nina Simone or Otis Redding. WTF! Okay, we admit that most of these songs had us crying at some point either over a break-up or just because we felt all melancholy, especially that Cure song.


A new low for NY Post according to NYU News & NY Daily News. Yesterday's post featured a photo of NYU student Diana Chien falling to her death. NYU students were horrified to see the picture of 19-year-old Diana Chien's Saturday death plunge from the roof of her boyfriend's apartment building. NYU spokesman John Beckman blasted the Post, which already had printed the picture in Sunday's paper before learning Chien was a student.




Allhiphop.com reports that Rah Digga left J Records in hopes of greener pastures. Also KRS-One offers his 13th album for free download on his website, Templeofhiphop.org. Registered members are downloading the album and some have called it some of the rapper's best material to date.


PopDork finally reports on Sleater-Kinney's new website. We've known about it for like a month but whatevs. Also Uncle Grambo clued us in on the new PJ Harvey album.

Sleater-Kinney comes back to NY:

04-26 New York, NY - Irving Plaza
04-27 New York, NY - Irving Plaza

We hate Irving Plaza (teenie bopper galore) but love Sleater-Kinney. There's a draw somewhere.


Again with this: Bill O'Reilley vs 50 Cent & Reebok (link Sohh.com)

Yesterday, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly took a shot at Reebok International for its affiliation with 50 Cent, calling the relationship "corporate pollution." Recently, the multi-platinum rapper inked an endorsement deal with Reebok for his G-Unit sneakers, which is a top-seller for the sneaker giant since it's launch in November 2003. "Reebok should be ashamed of themselves," O'Reilly told the Boston Herald before his show last night. "They're embracing a guy who's hurting children." The cable news king even got The Congress of Racial Equality on the show to identify what it considers the five worst rappers and their corporate ties. 50 Cent and Reebok came in at No. 3.
