Paris Hilton and Kanye West
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
This one was particularly exciting because this the anniversary of both Kanye West declaring that President George Bush Jr. hated black people (we’re reasonably onside with this assessment from the usually offside Kanye), and of the wonderful art prank Banksy played on Paris Hilton.

Insane Clown Posse and Carly Rae Jepsen
Killer clown rappers Insane Clown Posse recently watched the video for Carly Rae Jepsen‘s “Call Me Maybe” video Mystery Science Theater 3000-style and the results were pretty entertaining.
The pair contemplated how old Jepsen was, whether they’d “hit it” and marveled at the video’s ending.
I wrote a recap of it all for Huffington Post Music Canada. Click here to read it.

Liam Gallagher of Oasis
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
For anyone who had floppy hair and thinks they’re British it was a week to celebrate the debut of Oasis‘ Definitely Maybe album. To guitar geeks it was the week Stevie Ray Vaughan died. And to Elvis fans it was the week that someone almost successfully dug up and stole his dead body.
