The blogosphere is all abuzz right now over the Scott Stapp/Kid Rock sex tape. To be more specific - the Kid Rock and Scott Stapp receive oral sex from groupies tape. Stereogum has a clip for those of you bolder than I, while Artifacts has some analysis on the mystery that is Stapp. As I said on Stereogum, it's funny to think there was a time when these guys were legitimate rock stars. At least Rock is shameless and unapologetic, while Stapp still tries to hold onto his "man of God" status, amidst all his fuck ups. This is another blow to the career of Stapp, who was recently denied a flight due to public drunkenness, after telling Rolling Stone a month earlier that he was totally sober. In more exciting news - British grime/two-step/garage/dub genius Mike Skinner (aka The Streets) has announced a tracklist, and a release date (April 25 US, April 11 UK) for his third record, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. The official website is counting down the time until single "When You Wasn't Famous" is released - currently 1 Month, 9 Days, 11 Hours, 49 Minutes, 35 Seconds. Cheaters can download it over at Fluxblog.

Lastly, I have a new temp job that may turn into a full-time job. I'm on my feet a lot so I don't get to sneak back a whole lot to blog. But - have no fear - I'll still be dropping three or four of these each day. Big plans are in the works for this blog - original videos, mashups, and more - the sky's the limit.

Looking forward to The Go! Team. I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks.
Hey Ben,
How were the Strokes?
Hey Will, thanks for the link! I was just coming over to watch your favorite videos, which I share.
Best of luck with the new job.
Don't worry no matter how busy you get your blog mates will be waiting to read your great stuff.
Incidentally, I usually feel bad if I say anything negative on my posts, but with Stapp? nothing.
Thanks for the support; I'm glad to have readers. Yeah, Stapp deserves all the bad press. Anyone who says "It's good to be the king" to someone filming them getting some groupie love deserves to be made fun of.
Will they were top class. I went with the view they were going to be miserable and low fi but they were definitely major league.
