Apparently Dr. Pepper made a music video for Tay Zonday’s “Chocolate Rain” and had him change the lyrics to “Cherry Chocolate Rain” for some new drink of theirs. I think this is the detriment of what I believe Tay is trying to say with his original song. To me, they are making fun of him. I’m not in there for this
Original version
Leona Lewis is a new artist on J Records. She was on EW’s 8 to Watch in 08 list along with Wale. Feeling this new video.
Props to Matt at Dope Couture for sending me some sweatshirts. It’s been hella cold in LA.

BoingBoing.net has pointed out this 3 hours of MTV from 1983 (commercials and all) that is now on google video.
This is absolutely hilarious and fascinating since I was 1 year old (this many!) at the time and thus don’t remember TV from back then.
VJ Mark Goodman looks like he’s chillin’ in your basement as he slowly and methodically walks you through everything single detail of The Police’s 1983 American tour.
The VJ segments are so completely slow and quiet; it’s such a welcome change from what we see on TV now.
Pressing news that the VJ tells us about:
* “David Gilmour is planning a solo tour. The way it looks like right now Pink Floyd is pretty much on break, if they haven’t broken up all together.”
* Quiet Riot are up against Michael Jackson in Friday Night Video Fights.
* Bob Dylan world premiere video next weekend.
* Call the MTV House Phone, it’s a 1-900 number, but it only costs you 50 cents!
* Albums out this week: Billy Idol – Rebel Yell
* Black Sabbath tour dates have been announced. Loverboy dates in the next hour.
* Governor George Wallace has named October 29th Lionel Richie Day in Alabama (!!!)
Videos aired include Night Ranger, Huey Lewis, Prince, Sammy Hagar, Kansas, Michael Bolton, Quiet Riot, The Who, Nick Heyward. Wow.
Commercials:
* Vinyl compilations of what we now call yacht rock
* A sweet tape-deck for your car
* Huge boom-boxes
* MTV giving away Neil Young’s pink Cadillac
* Murray bicycles
* Wrangler Jeans
* Deal Of The Century hits theaters soon
* Atari 2600 video games
* Call your cable company now to get special hardware to hear MTV in STEREO SOUND.
* And next weekend is the “nearly all-Genesis weekend on MTV!” Woohoo!
One of the best videos of all time. Shouts to Rick Ross at Delicious Vinyl. Nope, not the bawsss Ricky Rawsss and not Freeway Ricky Ross. The white Rick Ross.
The homey Simon Rex aka Dirt Nasty made this short film. I dunno why it’s so funny but it is. Palatial Regalia.

People have been asking about the Landover tee that Wale was wearing in Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone. Well, the homey Good Bully, the twisted mind behind the aesthetic for this site is the mastermind behind the Landover tee. As a Los Angeles resident, I am not savvy to the significance of the design but I heard it embodies the logo of the old Landover Mall in Landover, MD. I wear mine proudly around LA and occasionally get stopped by former DMV residents.
Check out Good Bully’s shop for other classics. Like this Head Games shirt right here.

Got this email in the middle of the night. I was out at a birthday party for the big homey Ben Gordon (happy 3_th!), and I thought maybe this was someone I gave my card to. I opened the email. Barrister Jossip Welber? Despite the fact I had a few vodka sodas, I definitely would have remembered meeting someone named Barrister Jossip Welber. Jossip sounds like a Jewish gossip site (a la bossip). Not only that, dude’s “reply to” email is @aim.com. Come on, if you are going to trick me, at least get a real domain name. Anyway, enjoy. Morris Thompson RIP.
