Well, can’t say this song is horribly annoying. And that’s something. . .

Trevor Andrew makes a great rock star. Then again he always did. But now, he’s doing it for real with his music. With a new album coming out some time in the next four to six months, he sad down with JamBase.com to talk about the band, the music and how Santigold got him going on the right track:
She’s a great supporter and a great business woman. She just schooled me to the game and once I had all these songs written – it was really a private thing; I did it by myself – she was the one who took it to the next level and was like, “I’m getting these to producers.” She did that and really motivated that and just encouraged me. [She said], “Just because you’ve lived your dream with snowboarding doesn’t mean you can’t have a new dream.”
Behind every successfully troubled man. . .

Sacramento skate OG and N-Men instigator Randy Katen apparently has a Sunday night radio show streaming online from The University of Montana in Missoula, according to a post on SkateDaily.net. Katen’s show is called Generation X and here’s what he says about it.
I was born and razed in Sacramento California. My love of music started out when I was 10 or so with Janis, Jimmy and all the 70 greats. However, I never played along with the masses and thought that popular was good in any aspect. I was the upstart, the rebel, the Skateboarder, the Snowboarder so when this ( X ) generation of bored teenagers took flight I was part of the flock. Being a professional skateboarder and skating in San Francisco and the Bay area almost all the time from 79-84 put in me the western hub of the new wave, punk, alternative music seen, and I was lucky enough to see a lot of bands on their (sometimes) one and only U.S. tour. I will fill you in on some History of Bands and you will here some Interviews with some of the greats of the music. Listen to my show and hear music that is fast and energizing! Be careful. If you play it in your car you will get a speeding ticket!
Generation X with Randy Katen airs/streams from 5-7 PT, 6-8 MT, and 8-10 ET. Click here to listen.

Apparently, while not polishing his Olympic Bronze medal from Salt Lake City, snowboarder JJ Thomas has been crafting some electro pop music under the name of MileHi with friend Jeff Cormack.
Their new album Hits and Misses is available for download right here. Check it and you’ll get hot on the dance floor lyrics like this from For The Girls.
You, me, him and her, everybody lets roll. Don’t stop back it up come on lets go go. You girls look good tonight. This place is poppin, poppin. Since you walked in that door my jaw’s been dropping, dropping. Skinny jeans, my gawd girl you look so mean. Girl see the way you’ve been looking at me so right. I can’t wait to be alone and see what’s under those clothes tonight. Red lips, hair’s a mess. I like how you wear that dress. So stop take a drink and let’s get loose. Hey, girl it’s you and me grab your friend let’s make it three.
JJ getting freaky. Looks like he’s going more than his snowboard skills to work on this project. And it sounds, well, not that bad, actually.

Bam Margera’s new video for the Finnish band The 69 Eyes and titled Dead Girls Are Easy will officially premiere on Playboy.com at 8 AM PST on Friday, July 17, 2009, according to a post on Blabbermouth.net.
Aimed at those sleazy online chicks with the looks that kill, “Dead Girls Are Easy” is a tongue-in-cheek power anthem that just begged for a video to complement it. The clip follows a coven of tight black leather-clad vampire vixens luring and converting the men with whom they come into contact. “It’s almost like vampires are taking over the world,” muses singer Jyrki 69.
Sounds like something that will go perfectly with our Friday morning bowl of Cheerios.

Phew! Looks like that fight a.k.a. “beef” between Terry Kennedy and Bow Wow regarding Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons is over, according to an interview on Broccoli City TV reported on Ballerstatus. And we are so thankful for that. Here’s what TK had to say about Bow Wow:
“I never known the n****. He was trying to go around and get information from other n****s to see what type of n**** I was,” T.K. explained. “I guess everytime he’d bump into somebody and ask them about me, they’d give him the history on me. After that, he ended up trying to call me saying ‘I ain’t got nothing against you, it’s all love.’ I hate to tackle the situation, but he’s a coward.”
It’s good to keep all these rap wars straight.

The celebrity blogs are all over a reported rough night out with Rob Dyrdek and John Mayer (which is funny in and of itself). Access Hollywood said:
After partying too hard at LA’s MyHouse, the friends ended up in hospital, where Rob had his stomach pumped. “In triage at Cedars with @robdyrdek. When the contents of his stomach hit that silicon bag and we all saw it, we just broke into appluse,” John Tweeted
The truth maybe else where. Now, PopEater.com says the whole thing was a prank according to People Magazine. Rob certainly knows how to do work.
