Ryan Adams

  • Ryan Adams appeared at a Louisville concert this weekend wearing a shower cap, white plastic sunglasses and a hoodie. Adams reportedly kept the stage banter to a minimum, but during the 20-minute show, the Easy Tiger material he played was reportedly “excellent.”
  • Faux-metal band Spinal Tap wants The Office mastermind Ricky Gervais to join them onstage at Live Earth. On a comedic scale of 1 to 10, this is an 11.
  • The Killers’ Brandon Flowers has bronchitis, forcing the band to cancel shows in Denver, Seattle and the KROQ Weenie Roast. Make-up dates have been announced.
  • Wu-Tang’s Method Man was pulled over in NYC and charged with unlawful possession of 28 grams.
  • Nelly is set to pimp both Pimp My Ride and energy drink Pimp Juice in South Africa.
  • The John Mayer/Jessica Simpson relationship is reportedlyover.
  • The Strokes and challengers-to-the-Youtube-throne IMEEM are teaming up by showcasing an alternate video for the song “You Only Live Once.” It will be directed by Star Wars art director Wayne Fu, who channels Kubrick’s 2001 for the new video.
  • The wait is over: Ween will release a brand new EP on June 8th, followed by a new album later this year.

At least Adams wasn’t lipsyncing ‘Baby One More Time’. As long as his album’s good he can wear anything he wants (although the only thing that looks good on him is you).

Live Earth so desperately wants to be as a renowned Live Aid…

Are you allowed to re-schedule a KROQ Weenie Roast? Isn’t that like the Easter Sunday of alternative rock radio?

For god sakes, celebities! I said it once, I’ll say it 1000 times! Do not drive if you’re packing the green (or the white)! Take a cab! It’s a no-brainer and a win-win!

Great. Just what South Africa needs. Pimp culture.

The Strokes are advocating the internet? That doesn’t sound very retro to me. Maybe it’s faux-retro.

Don Vito | 5/21/2007, 4:36 pm EST

Rex Staddler | 5/21/2007, 4:46 pm EST

That picture does NOT look like Ryan Adams to me. It looks like Beck.

Dan | 5/21/2007, 4:50 pm EST

As for this Jessica Simpson-John Mayer fling. Rule#1-As your showbiz career begins to sink, always date a celebrity to give you the publicity and tabloid exposure you desperately crave.

Don Vito | 5/21/2007, 5:01 pm EST

How can we expect “artists” I use the term very loosely, like Nelly to go away if we give him publicity. If he wants to be a pimp then let him get to it and keep him off the radio/dance floors and anywhere else the public may have to be reminded that he is not dead. I mean really dead not like wikipedia dead. In fact I think someone should introduce this pimp to Travis Bickle, then we can all move on.
