Biz Markie & Wayne Coyne - "I Can't Believe It's Really Happening" (Volcom Fwends 2)

Biz Markie has gotta be one of the most awkward ~~rappers~~ male vocalists in the history of music. But with that said, "Just a Friend" quite easily ranks within my [imaginary] Top 50 favourite songs OF ALL TIME list! Markie recently logged a few recording sessions with fellow Psych-Rock weird-o, Wayne Coyne. Together, Biz & Wayne managed to conjure up "2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)" along with Ke$ha, which was the lead-off track from The Flaming Lips' semi-recent Record Store Day comp, Heady Fwends. Now, they've teamed up with skate clothing brand, Volcom to create a child-like Yo Gabba Gabba!-inspired T-shirt line for adults ha. Volcom then commissioned Markie & Coyne to self-design a bunch of signature T-shirts along with Dave Grohl, Jack Black, "Napoleon Dynamite," Mark Mothersbaugh, and their forward-thinking kids.

"I Can't Believe It's Really Happening" is the second track to materialize from Biz Markie & Wayne Coyne's collaborative sessions, and it looks like parts of this one were recorded directly to Coyne's iPhone. The track is essentially about the very Volcom/Yo Gabba Gabba! dual-branding that it's promoting; as Biz Markie sloppily laments, "Volcom & Yo Gabba Gabba!, together @ last - Like chocolate & milk. Like macaroni & cheese. Like hamburgers & pickles..." While Wayne Coyne laces up a nursery rhyme-like tinkering piano beat, Dave Grohl, Jack Black, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Jon Heder (Napoleon), all quickly flash across the screen wearing their Volcom Stone T-shirts. "I Can't Believe It's Really Happening" is set to appear on a LIMITED ED. red 7" backed by a new [reunited] Rocket from The Crypt. There's a couple ways that you can get your hands on a copy: Being 1 of 100 lucky contest winners, buying select T-shirts online after Oct. 2nd, or simply downloading it for FREE via email.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
