I know it’s April fools day, but Wheel Watchers got the shock of their lives Tuesday Evening. At the end of the episode, after the recap between Pat and Vanna, Vanna proceeds to pull a whig of Pat Sajak. I watched in HD and it looked like the real deal. Pat manages to give Howie Mandel a little knock by saying he could host “Deal or No Deal” Now. Does this mean Sajak hates jews? Im really confused.

The music industry has no fucking clue. With that said, The Raconteurs decided to give the industry a shocker, by releasing their new album “Consoler of the Lonely” without any promotions, marketing or exclusive availability. The band managed to keep the release date of the album(March 24th) incredibly hush hush. The “secret release” is one of many new methods being used by bands to experiment with sales of albums, thus creating more confusion in the heads of the major label executives. In a press release the band explains thoroughly their reasons for trying the new silent release method. The album was released in every music format imaginable, from MP3 to wax.
There is 2 great things about this. The power is in the hands of the bands, and the music industry is like the wild west right now, leaving the select few douchebags running the industry completely baffled. Second, the album is incredible, and there was no early reviews that would sway the consumer into pre-conceiving what they expect from the album, just the initial reaction to hearing the sounds.

Are you a true Cub fan? Apparently the veteran beer vendors at Wrigley Field have created their own website with pictures of themselves on baseball trading cards. They also list their experience in years serving cold ones, and other super fun-facts. There are definitely some classic faces here. I encourage everyone to learn these guys names and hobbies immediately. Click Here to see these miracle workers trading cards and fun facts!
Just wanted to share this amazing photo of DS Ashton Kutcher (Kyle Korver). It seems that Mccants is shooting a jumpshot not even attempting a dunk. Maybe Korver is trying to rock a new dance move to show that white DS men can dance.
The new album by Del is finally out. Here is a review by pitchfork. Click here for Pitchfork Review
The Escort (hooker) who took down Gov. Elliot Spitzer, apparently is going to be a millionaire by Monday. Apparently Ashley Alexandra Dupre is quite the musician, and I’m not talking about playing the skinflute. Ashley had some songs on her Myspace page and after her page got shutdown, she decided to put her jams on the Online music store “Amie Street.” Amie Street is a demand driven site, and her songs reached the maximum price of 98Cents within hours. My hope is that the female youth of America will react strongly to this rags to riches story, and pursue the same path that this trailblazer of hope has created. Read the full story here
