Pop Music Died Yesterday

Remembering Michael Jackson
by Conor Levis

When I woke up yesterday morning, I had no idea what kind of day was ahead. You never think a typical day will turn into one you'll never forget. That's why I was so shocked, like the rest of the world, when I heard that Michael Jackson passed away at age 50. It's one of those rare instances when you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing when it happened. I was in my car, driving the highway when my friend called me. "Do you know what's going on right now?" she asked me. "You mean with Farrah Fawcett?" I replied. I love Farrah Fawcett as much as the next guy but I wasn't surprised at her passing. We've known for a while now that her days were numbered...so I pretty much came to terms with that a while back. I even blogged about it. "Well yeah, but Michael Jackson might have died too," she said. I was taken aback at first but really didn't believe it. I figured it had to be some kind of rumor. How many crazy Jacko rumors have we heard over the years? "Wait...yeah, I think he's definitely dead. I gotta go call more people though," she said before hanging up. Now interested, I called up another friend for confirmation. He hadn't heard it either but he said he'd let me know if he did. That's around the time my phone started blowing up with texts from friends reporting the same thing. I still attributed this to a rumor, almost like I was in denial. It wasn't until I got to a television that I became a believer. Every cable news outlet: Michael Jackson. Dead.

Millions and Millions of people around the world are mourning Jackson's death and with good reason. When you think of true music icons like Sinatra, Presley, and Lennon; Michael Jackson is right there with them. The man they call "The King of Pop" changed music forever. The first time I heard Michael Jackson was on his early Jackson 5 records and instantly fell in love with his music. It wasn't until the first time I listened to the Thriller album that I understood the significance of Michael Jackson as a music artist and he became one of my personal favorites. There's a reason it's the world's all-time best selling album. It's the record that has something to interest everyone...whether you're a rocker or a hip-hopper, a metal head or a punk fan. The music of Thriller had an appeal like no other album at the time, showcasing harder funk and hard rock while remaining "undeniably fun". Also showcasing some of Jackson's best and most popular tracks including "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and the title track "Thriller". Time magazine described Jackson's influence at that point as, "Star of records, radio, rock video. A one-man rescue team for the music business. A songwriter who sets the beat for a decade. A dancer with the fanciest feet on the street. A singer who cuts across all boundaries of taste and style and color too". In 2003, Thriller was ranked at number 20 on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, and was listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers at number three of the Definitive 200 Albums of All Time. Thriller became—and currently remains—the best-selling album of all time. Sales are estimated to be between 100–109 million copies sold worldwide. That was the beauty of Michael Jackson. He appealed to everybody. His generation, my generation, the younger generations and someday...my children's generation.

The thing that set Jackson apart from other singers at that time was his ability as a performer. His talent to dance and entertain made his music videos some of the greatest and well known videos of all-time. It wasn't pretty at first, however, as Jackson struggled with racial equality. Before the success of Thriller, many felt Jackson had struggled to get MTV airing because he was black. This caused CBS Records President Walter Yetnikoff to pressure MTV and declared, "I'm not going to give you any more videos and I'm going to go public and fucking tell them about the fact you don't want to play music by a black guy". His position persuaded MTV to begin airing "Billie Jean" and later "Beat It", which led to a long partnership and later helped other black music artists to gain mainstream recognition. Just another reason why he's one of the most influential music artists of all-time.

Whether you love him or hate him, you can't deny Michael Jackson as an artist. What happened to him later in his life was sad in so many ways. He became one of the most compelling public figures we've ever had...but not for good reasons. His bizarre antics and constant legal trouble tarnished what had always been a great reputation. Jackson really was a child trapped inside an adult's body but it seemed like no one could help him. I blame it on him having an enormous amount of success at an early age. He was only 11 years old when the Jackson 5 took off in the late 60's. Michael missed out on a very large portion of his childhood and that can never be a good thing. I think most people realize the psychological effects this must have had on him and maybe that's why he is so loved worldwide despite anything that happened. I don't know. But I do know this much, the world lost maybe the best entertainer it's ever had. That's how I'll remember him.

Jackson paved the way for an entire era and genre of pop music. I grew up in an era of pop music that was directly influenced by the man himself. How popular was MJ? Jackson's death caused an outpouring of grief among fans not seen since the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon as fans gathered outside the UCLA Medical Center and his Holmby Hills home. Fans also gathered in New York City outside the Apollo Theater and in Detroit outside Hitsville U.S.A., the old Motown headquarters now the Motown Museum, where fans created a shrine. News of Jackson's death spread so quickly online, that many websites experienced technical difficulties. Google admitted to technical difficulties after a sudden swell in searches for "Michael Jackson" led the company to believe it was "under attack" from hackers and the social networking site Twitter also reported a crash after record numbers of users used the site to spread the news of Jackson's death. Facebook status update activity was reportedly three times the normal amount following the death. Ladies and Gentlemen, we're discovering how earth shattering news is spread here in the 21st century!

People are already ranking this as one of the most momentous celebrity deaths of our lifetime, right up there with Presley, Lennon, and Princess Di. We're in a time for people everywhere to get together and rejoice. Not just to celebrate the life of Michael and Farrah, but to celebrate life for what it is and how fragile it can be. We don't realize until we lose someone special...and yesterday, we all lost someone special. Maybe it goes back to what I mentioned at the top. An ordinary day can be your last, so live it for what it's worth. You never know what each day will bring. R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Off the Wall
by Rick

Michael Jackson is a topic of hot debate. He's loved and hated by thousands. Jacko, the man we've grown accustomed to this past decade, was ridiculed, mocked, poked fun at, and most of the time justly. Of recent, the eccentric escapades of Michael have been to much. Also the molestation accusations helped tarnish the brilliant career of this man. I'm not here to talk about these tho. I'm here to talk about one of my favorite albums of all time, Off the Wall. Released in 1979, Off the Wall was a triumph in funky dancing party music. It was the stepping stone to the title "King of Pop". Off the wall was produced by Quincy Jones, who Michael met while filming "The Wiz". The thing that I love about Off the Wall is its ability to be played from begining to end and entice the listener to groove. The big single, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" was written by Jackson(showing off his ability to not only preform but also to create) won a Grammy for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance. Michael was livid, saying that the album should have won for Best Album. I agree. I dare anyone to listen to this album and not get grooving. Also one is forced almost into being happy while listening to this. A friend brought this to my attention when telling me he dared anyone to listen to Don't Stop with a frown. "She's Out of My Life" slows things down from the party attitude evoked with the begining of the record, and "I Can't Help It" just smells of classic soul. Off the Wall was the first album ever to make four top ten hits in America. It was an instant classic. Its legacy continues today, with former band Death from Above 1979 using the year of its release to help in naming their band. Sebastian Grangier confirmed this through this comment:

1979 is the year of my birth,
1979 is the year of Off the Wall,
1979 is the year of Pleasure Principle,
1979 is the last year of the last cool decade,
1979 is scratched into my arm,
1979 is scratched into my arm,
1979 is scratched into my fucking arm.

Also the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame last year. I hope this post inspires more people to take time and listen to what is really one of the most definative albums of all time. As much as I respect Justin Timberlake(and I really do this isnt a joke), Michael paved the way for him and so many others, and Off the Wall guided Michael into the world of Pop Superstar.

RIP Michael Jackson, 1958-2009.

Rise of the Fallen

the posting everyday lasted real long... lol

Transformers 2
by Rick

Ok, so I went into Transformers 2 thinking it would be the most ridiculous movie ever... and I was partly right. While it wasn't as absurd as Crank2, it did rate a 9 on the "Are you for real?" scale. Some highlights: the mom is hilarious, Megan Fox's first scene doesn't even try to hide the fact that shes just in the movie to be hot, how they borrow Predator and the robot from Power Rangers when creating new characters, the oompa loompa from the new Willy Wonka letting John Tuturo across a middle east border cause hes from NYC, and John Tutoro's ass. Those are just a few of the over the top things I remember without revealing any plot details. My suggestion, wait and just go see Public Enemies next week. Transformers gets an "Own3d" rating.

Hot Bitch of the Day
Cheryl Cole

Megan Fox said at the premier of the new Transformers that she has a crush on her. Shes in some girl pop band in England, married to a soccer player, voted sexiest woman of 2009 by FHM, blah blah blah... none of this matters when I'm thinking about her and Megan Fox together :) Cheryl Cole, you are the Hot Bitch of the Day!

Everybody Hurts...Even Joe Buck

By Conor Levis

Poor Joe Buck

In case any of you missed the debut of "Joe Buck Live", here are the videos of Artie Lange's now infamous apperance on the show. If you despise Joe Buck as much as I do, you will enjoy this. Lange tears Buck a new one on his own show and shows us that Buck is way out of his element. He was visibly shaken and lost through the entire segment. I almost felt bad for him...until he started snapping back at Artie and I remembered why I don't like him in the first place. The great talk show hosts know how to tame their guests, like David Letterman does here with Joaquin Phoenix, and the bad ones don't, like Magic Johnson here with Howard Stern. Lange claims that Ross Greenburg told him to go all out if the show got dull. HBO and Greenburg have since distanced themselves. What did they expect bringing Artie Lange on an uncensored TV program? And that show was boring as hell before Artie started talking. Not even Paul Rudd could save it. The good news, I don't see "Joe Buck Live" working out after this. The bad news? It probably means more Joe Buck in the announcers booth on Fox. We just can't win.






Celtics Trade Rumors

There have been some interesting trade rumors floating around lately involving the Boston Celtics. Today, it was reported by ESPN.com's Chad Ford that the Celtics offered Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen for Rodney Stuckey, Richard Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince. The trade was rejected by the Pistons because they didn't want to give up their entire core of players for Rondo and Ray, who's contract expires after next season. This would have been a no-brainer for the Celticsn because A) Stuckey is another young PG with tremendous playmaking skills and a great defensive player, B) It would allow Pierce to move to SG and Prince, one of the league's best defenders, would take the responsibilty of guarding the other team's best player instead of Pierce (a big reason why Pierce wore down at the end of the season), and Rip Hamilton, a former all-star, could come off the bench like he had been doing for Detroit to give us offense and we'd finally have a formidable backup for Pierce to give him some rest. I still hope a trade involving these players can be worked out.

Last week, Comcast Sports Net reported rumors of a trade that would send Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash to the Celtics for some sort of package involving either Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, or both. I know Celtics fans would freak out but I like the idea for a few reasons. The first being that it would instantly make Boston better next season. Amare and KG in the front court would be scary and Nash is one of the best three point shooters in the league as well as a great PG.
The part of the deal that makes the most sense for the Celtics though is the contract situation. Stoudemire and Nash's contracts will both be up after next season...opening up a ton of cap space for a loaded free agent pool in 2010 that includes Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony. The Celtics would be able to make a serious run at one of these franchise guys.

The last rumor has been confirmed by a number of different media outlets and it involves sending Kendrick Perkins to the Memphis Grizzlies for the number 2 overall pick. The only logic I find behind this trade is that the Celtics either really like Hasheem Thabeet and want him to anchor the defense to take pressure off of Garnett...or that the Celtics would take Ricky Rubio, a young, highly touted prospect at PG, to replace Rondo if they dealt Rondo for a big man to replace Perkins.

Like I mentioned, these are only rumors. I have no idea how true any of these proposed trades are. I do know one thing though...that Danny Ainge is up to something and don't be surprised if the Celtics make a big move come draft day. They are looking to better themselves next season and better themselves for the 2010 offseason. We'll keep you posted.

"Is Rondo being dangled as trade bait?"

New Segment! 60 Greatest Moments in NBA Playoff History

I wanted to do this before the NBA Finals to build up anticipation for the event but I was so bummed at the Lakers/Magic matchup, I lost the motivation. But since we all love basketball here at the blog and basketball is still fresh in our minds, I'm going to do it now anyway. Everyday for the next month we will post 2 videos from the 60 greatest playoff moments in NBA History, created by NBA.com two years ago. If you love sports, you'll love these videos. So let's start the countdown. There was a three-way tie at #60 so here ar the first three videos:

John Starks Baseline Dunk Vs. Bulls; Game 2, 1993 Eastern Conference Finals


One of the most famous poster dunks in NBA history. How can you not love John Starks?
"The Garden faithful had watched this scene unfold too many times, especially at the hands of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. The clock showed 1:26 remaining and the Knicks had already blown a 14-point third quarter lead when John Starks instantly became a part of New York sports lore. Flashing around a Patrick Ewing screen, Starks drove baseline and exploded to the rim. Horace Grant and Jordan be damned, Starks rose to the rafters inhabited by past Knick greats and threw down a vicious, lefty tomahawk jam over both. An incredulous Garden crowd erupted at the sight as Starks bounded down the court forever a legend." - NBA.com

Andrew 'The Boston Strangler' Toney Strikes; Game 7, 1982 Eastern Conference Finals



Andrew Toney was dubbed "The Boston Strangler" because of his ability to single-handedly dominate games against the Celtics. This was also the game that started the "Beat LA" chants because as the clock wound down and the Sixers were going to the NBA Finals, Boston fans chanted what they wanted Philly to do. I talked to a Sixers fan who says they still talk about that in Philadelphia, even today. One of the classiest things a fan base has done.
"Philadelphia lost a two-game lead the year before and were on the verge of blowing another. The Sixers emerged victorious in one of the most memorable games in franchise history behind 34 points by Andrew Toney, who earned the nickname, "Boston Strangler." Toney averaged 26.5 points in the series. Acknowledging defeat to their archrivals, the Boston Garden crowd chants "Beat L.A.!" sending the Sixers into the Finals. - NBA.com

Reggie's Game-Winning 3 Vs. Bulls; Game 4, 1998 Eastern Conference Finals



The first of many apperances Reggie Miller makes on this list. One of the greatest clutch postseason performers the league has ever seen. This buzzer beater helped avoid a 3-1 Eastern Conference Finals deficit at the hands of MJ and the Chicago Bulls. It proved to be that much more important after the Pacers forced a Game 7 and nearly won it.
"Defended by Michael Jordan and playing on a sprained ankle, Reggie Miller buried a three with with 0.7 seconds remaining to tie the series at two games apiece. Michael Jordan's attempt hits the rim." - NBA.com


Hot Bitch of the Day:

Debbie Harry

Simply because I stumbled across this video of a 1979 Midnight Special performance the other day. Who else could pull of the "Pat Benatar Look" and look that good? I love Debbie Harry. By the way, how underappreciated is Blondie? They opened the door for so many bands that followed, prime example being No Doubt. Debbie Harry...frontwoman, trendsetter, and Hot Bitch of the Day!

Deleted Scenes & Emily Haines

Band I Dig
by Rick
Deleted Scenes

This DC based band released its first album, Birdseed Shirt, this year. They offer multiple songs for a free download on their website. Pitchfork gave their debut an 8.0. I downloaded the songs they offer and loved them. Download what they offer for sure, and if your feeling ambitious go out to a record store and buy it. Its interesting, and if had the whole album it might have even appeared on my Mid Year's Best. Give them a chance. They will make you berry berry happy :)


Hot Bitch of the Day
Emily Haines


Some of you will know here from the band Broken Social Scene, but if you have been listening to FNX lately you've probably heard her new band Metric's song Help I'm Alive. Its a good, catchy song, and more importantly, the singer is reasonably hot. Emily, you are the Hot Bitch of the Day.

NBA Finals

I apologize for not posting anything new in a while. I'd like to say I had a reason, but I don't. I have been pretty busy lately but really, it's because anybody who knows me well knows that I'm lazy and maybe the world's biggest procrastinator. But I'm back this week to give you some new stuff.

First here's some awesome videos I stumbled upon recently:

The HBO performance in 1982 that put Sam Kinison on the map. Off the charts funny.



Adam Carolla rants about Religious Fanatics and Activists on Loveline. Again...hilarious.





The NBA Finals and Why You Should Watch
by Conor Levis

Looking back at my NBA playoff predictions in April, not too shabby! I went perfect in the first round of both conferences and predicted the entire Western Conference correctly. Orlando was the only team that screwed it up for me. I even got the amount of games right on a lot of them. But enough about my incredible predicting abilities. We all know it isn't that hard to predict the NBA playoffs when David Stern rigs it. Let's look at the NBA Finals (Note: I started writing this before the Finals started but never got around to finishing the entire post. I realize we are now 3 games in.)

Since it's too late to preview anything now, I'll just be honest and tell you that I predicted the Orlando Magic to win the Finals in 6 games. This was before I watched the first 2 games and realized that there was no chance in hell the NBA would allow the Lakers to lose and deny Kobe the opportunity to transform his legacy from a selfish, loser to a winner. Now I'm saying the Lakers are going to win in 7. It's what the NBA wants, so it's going to happen. As Celtics fans though, here's 5 reasons why we all need to root against the Lakers.
Reasons to Root Against the Lakers:

Reason Number 5 Phil Jackson is going for his 10th title as a head coach, which would pass Celtics' great Red Auerbach for most all-time. This would run the risk of Phil taking the "greatest coach ever" title from Red. Why can't think happen?

a) Phil Jackson is wildly overrated and owes all his success to Tex Winter...an assistant with Phil through the years who created the Traingle Offense. Red Auerbach literally created everything he coached back in the day. Phil just uses great players and other people's ideas. I've talked to lifelong Bulls fans and even they admit that those teams' success is owed to Winter, not Jackson. Red was a far superior basketball mind.

b) Phil Jackson won his Bulls' titles with the greatest player of all-time in Michael Jordan, and then later his Lakers' titles with arguably the most dominant big man in league history in his prime. Now he's coaching the most talented team of 2009. No coach has been put in better situations.

c) Phil isn't even coaching out there anymore. He sits down the entire game. Have you heard any of his press conferences or his in-game and post-game interviews? He doesn't even seem interested anymore. The only reason he came back to coaching is because he's dating the owner's daughter.

d) Phil has coached much longer than Red and it's taken him longer to win those titles. Red was more successful in a shorter period of time which is most impressive...but people will overlook this historically.

And of course because Red is forever the face of the Celtics. He was our guy and we don't want some hack to break his record.


Reason Number 4 Tony Battie plays for the Orlando Magic. For you Celtic bandwagonners, Battie played 6 seasons for the Celtics from 1998-2004 and the starting Center on the 2002 ECF team. I always liked Battie as a player but even if you didn't, he was the one who rushed Paul Pierce to the hospital after he was stabbed back in 2000. Saving Paul Pierce's life is a great reason to want Battie to win the title.

Reason Number 3 Orlando is the team that knocked the Celtics out of the postseason. Wouldn't you feel better if they won it all so we could say things like, "Hey, at least we lost to the champions." and "We took the champs to 7 games without KG...that means we would have won it all if we were healthy." The What If Game, one of the best games to play in sports. Also, Orlando has that whole "nobody believed in us" thing going on. Remind you of anything? Maybe the 2001 Patriots and the 2004 Red Sox? We can relate to this Orlando team better as Boston fans. Let's see if they can do it.

Reason Number 2 Kobe Bryant. The most arrogant and selfish superstar in the NBA. I'm sick of hearing about how much Kobe "wants it" and how Kobe "has a look in his eye" and how he's "like a coach out there". Will the media please stop trying to convince me that Kobe has taken the leap and has become a team player and let us enjoy the Finals? Why do they defend this guy so much anyway? This is the same guy who ran Shaq out of town, ran Phil Jackson out of town (prompting Phil to write a book trashing Kobe and how hard it was to coach him...even calling him "uncoachable" at one point.), couldn't get his team out of the first round of the playoffs with a 3-1 lead (choke), and then threw his teammates under the bus and demanded a trade, turning his back on the entire Lakers' organization and the city of Los Angeles. The fans even booed him for the first week of that season. Now 2 seasons later everyone is trying to defend him. Can we stop? Kobe isn't a good teammate and he will never be a good teammate. He's one of the most talented offensive players in the game and that's it. He's overrated defensively and he might shoot the ball anywhere from 20-35 times a night. It makes me sick when people say he's better than Lebron and when the cameras are always there to catch him when he greets his wife with a hug and kiss out back in attempt to restore his image. Just stop! He isn't a good person, if he was, he wouldn't have cheated on his wife and raped that girl. Why are you all trying to defend him!?

Enough about Kobe, please.

The thing that irks me the most though is this random label that Kobe acquired last season as the league's best "closer" or finisher at the end of games. First of all, when and how did he get it? Did they decide to give it to him because he had one great close out game against San Antonio in the Western Conference Finals? I just remember it being talked about on all the sports shows for like a week after the Western Conference Finals last season and thinking, "Where did this all come from?" I can't remember a clutch moment from Kobe in the last 5 seasons other than the 2004 buzzer beaters against Phoenix in Game 4 of the 1st round. I did some research at 82games.com and found the following stats to disprove Kobe as the league's best "closer":

• Kobe has the worst shooting percentage of any player in crunch time since 2003.
• Kobe has missed the most game winning shots of any player in the league since 2003.
• Kobe has the most turnovers in clutch moments than any player in the league since 2o03
• Carmelo Anthony is statistically the most clutch player in the league.

So can we please stop giving Kobe this undeserved title as the game's best finisher? It's easy to make shots when the crowd is going crazy and you're team is up by 4 or 5. Let's see Kobe make some shots when his team absolutely needs it. Stop trying to boost Kobe's reputation for whatever reason.

As you can see, I am not a Kobe Bryant fan. I bet you're wondering what the number 1 reason is now...


Reason Number 1 IT'S THE FREAKING LAKERS! We hate this team's guts, always have, always will. It would be like rooting for the Yankees. If that isn't reason enough, you are not a Celtics' fan.


So there you have it, the 5 reasons why you should watch and cheer for the Orlando Magic to win the 2009 NBA Finals. I'm not willing to count them out just yet either. If anyone can come back from a series deficit, it's this team. If they catch fire at any point in the series, look out. That is if David Stern will let them play it out the right way.

Happy June 1st

It Finally Happened
by Rick

Conan took over The Tonight Show :) :) :) I was the happiest boy sitting there watching the greatest talk show host of our generation take over as the host of the greatest late night show of all time. Funny parts of the show include the entire opening scene with him running across the country, the Octomom joke ("That's either a flash flood or the Octomom's water just broke."), and Will Ferrell's entrance. Basically the entire show was hilarious, but a down note was Andy Richter. I never thought I'd say it, but he kinda was a downer whenever he was on screen. I'm hoping its because he hasnt been on TV for so long (its been a long time since Andy Richter Controls the Universe...).

Another thing finally happened... Jimmy Fallon is Funny! Hooray! It was a long time coming, but Anne Hathaway's interview is over now and i'm pleasently surprised. His monologue was great, the fake hills show thing with ?uestlove and Black Thought was one of the funnier things ive seen at 12:50 am (Its a good thing it didnt go on at 1:00, cause it would not beat out Tim & Eric)

Finally, I honestly was thinking about Sanjaya today and thought about blogging about how I would never try out for American Idol because I wouldnt make it past the first round and I couldnt go on living loosing to a guy like Sanjaya but ultimately would feel good about myself because he went on to be a nobody like me. I was wrong. He's on that bullshit show Help I'm a Celebrity get me out of here (I stopped capitalizing it as to not show it respect). Its like him, a Baldwin, some tall old model bitch and two people from The Hills (but niether of them are the hot LC one). Of course, Merriam Webster had to change the defininition of the word "celebrity" so that the show's title wouldnt be fraudgalent.

Hot Bitch of the Day
Marilyn Monroe
Straight from the classic hot bitch archives, Marilyn Monroe was one of this nation's biggest sex symbols. Why have her as hot bitch in 2009? Well today is her birthday, and had she not died she'd be 83. Believe me there wouldnt be no 83 year old bitches up in this blog normally, but she died before she could be old and wrinkley. Happy Birthday Mrs. Hot Bitch... Happy birthday to you!
