The Iron Sheik: Music Critic

The Iron Sheik

The Iron Sheik

If you’re of a certain age you’ll remember The Iron Sheik. That jabroni Hulk Hogan stole his belt. Hak! Phew!

Well, in an era that isn’t the ’80s, one of professional wrestling’s greatest villains has found a new forum… Twitter. And there’s no way Hogan’s stealing his belt there because he’s the undisputed champion of ridiculous, hilarious threatening tweets.

Mostly he spends his time making fun of Hulk Hogan, calling the Ultimate Warrior raisin dick and telling people he’s going to fuck them and make them humble old country way, but recently he’s been branching out into music. He’s tweeted about Chris Brown, Kings Of Leon, Whitney Houston and a whole host of others.

Sarah pulled together some of the best tweets for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.

ASAP Rocky

UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP this full story can now be found here.

Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky has a song called “Bass” whose chorus is just “Bass!… Bass!… Bass!… Bass!”

It’s fucking great.

ASAP’s also about 30 per cent more enlightened than the average rapper because, well, he doesn’t give a fuck if you’re gay.

The proof, and elaboration, on this stance can be read over at Spinner by clicking here.

Canada Sexing Music: A Study

Josey Vogels

What music do Canadians listening to when they’re doin’ it? Not, apparently, 3 Inches Of Blood.

That’s what Sarah found out when she spoke to sexpert Josey Vogels about a recent SiriusXM study on the sexy-times listening habits of Canadians.

To the best Vogels could figure, Canadians listen to everything when they’re porkin’. Except Raffi. No Raffi.
