#1 Song in America – July 28th, 2009

Hello America.  Here are the lyrics to your #1 song:

Black Eyed Peas – “I Got a Feeling”

Actual Black Eyed Peas: served fresh with some boom boom pow

You be the judge…

Larry King asks Joe Jackson about when he thought Michael may have become addicted to painkillers…

Bark At The Spoon [live @ Stubb’s // Austin]

Spoon has had a very large “to-do” list since releasing the critically acclaimed/commercially enamored 6th album (get ready for it) Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga back in ’07.  Said list probably went as such:

1. Spend new money on black shirts

2. Look for new hip, dimly-lit & velvet lined clubs to creep out in

3. Produce sophomore LP of up and coming Brooklyn band

4. Buy more milk from local grocer

5. Curate three day self-headlining “festival” during the hottest summer in recent memory at outdoor venue in one-time hometown

6. Try to find more annoying title for 7th album to further frustrate the fingers of journalists & bloggers
