Outkast returns with a brand new album, Idlewild (to be released August 22nd on LaFace/Zomba) with a movie of the same title hitting theatres on August 25th. The first single “Mighty O” is now available for download, but you can preview this track now on Real Audio or Windows Media. And why not watch the movie trailer here while you’re at it? Because they’re keepin’ the dream alive against the backdrop of a 1930’s southern speakeasy. That’s why.
Human Television Look at Who You’re Talking To written by KFC’s Famous Bowl
So, earlier today I was like, fuck you, KFC. If I have to listen to the instrumental parts of Sweet Home Alabama one more time, I will blow my soggy papas fritas brains out all over the men’s room. Not wanting to feel suicidal and frustrated anymore, I ran out to pick up a pawned ipod mini and loaded that fucker with Human Television’s newest album Look at Who You’re Talking To.

Check out the Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) video by Cobra Starship featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. There really aren’t too many snakes featured in the video, (so you can’t really see the venom in their eyes firsthand) but there is a fair amount of seduction, airport security, and airport security being seduced.
