I have a bet going with my buddy. We’re trying to figure out what Rihanna’s measurements are (bust, waist, and hips). You know who I’m talkin about. Rihanna, the girl who sings that song umbrella. Well anyway, my buddy swears she’s “hippier” than what she appears. I think she’s pretty standard. Our debate has actually been going on for weeks. In any regard, I’m trying to find out what her real measurements are. I found one site that has Rihanna facts, biography details, and best of all, Rihanna photos, and the site DOES have her measurements. However, this is the only site I’ve seen that lists them, so I want to make sure they’re accurate before I bring them to the table. Does anyone know of any other site that has hot chick measurements (and pictures would be nice too)? I want to double check the numbers I’ve found.

Certain guitarists have defined a genre and made it their own. Dick Dale made surf music; beloved of drive in surfing movies, known around the world and Ry Cooder will be forever associated with bottle neck guitar. In the 1970s, punk music opened up opportunities and more credence was given to energy and passion than ability. Guitar music, for a while, was reduced to three chords as a counter movement to ever more elaborate, progressive rock.

Today, guitar based bands dominate as ever on both sides of the Atlantic and across Europe. Guitar music will never go away, no matter how many computerized recording gadgets are invented. Young bloods will continue to practice Stairway to Heaven in their bedrooms, driving their parents insane.

Janet launched her new website: JanetJackson.com. The special about her website is that the fans can participate in the contest in creating their own video adaptation of Janet Jackson Feedback video that would go through Janet’s YouTube channel: “Destination Discipline”. You may enter the competion because if your video is in the ten most viewed videos, you are for a treat of a brand new iPod with Janet Jackson’s videos and music.

So, the single “Feedback” is here and the rest of the album “Discipline” is due this month.

Here is what Janet says about her new album “Discipline”:

“I love the dance. I love the mid tempo stuff. I love slow songs and the baby making songs. I still has the element to it. (…) You don’t know how many people come up to me and say – ‘This child was conceived listening to you’”.

Dorothy and her cute doggy Toto do not try to find way home from behind the rainbow any more after an English rock band Pink Floyd gave their own version of Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz, Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.

Now, on the more serious note: Dark Side of the Rainbow aka Dark Side of Oz aka The Wizard of Floyd, is some sort of synchronization between classic MGM movie and Pink Floyd album. One watches the film and listens to music at the same time. Many believe that the movie and the music somehow correspond with each other.

The Dead Kennedys (often known by their initials DK, as in “decay”) are a Hardcore Punk band from San Francisco, California. During the 1980s, the band gained a large underground following in the international punk and hardcore music scenes. Their music mixed the more experimental elements of English 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American hardcore punk scene. The Kennedys’ songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a humorous, acerbic, satirical, and sarcastic left-wing commentary on current social and political issues. At the same time, some of their songs also mocked the hypocritical stances of some liberal elites. Many of the band’s songs criticize the right-wing ideologies of the religious right and the Ronald Reagan administration.

Noted for her distinctive singing style, Carey possesses a five-octave vocal range, and her vocals make frequent use of melismas and other ornamentation. During the 1990s, she released fifteen U.S. number-one hits on Columbia Records, run by then-husband Tommy Mottola, several of which broke chart records. By the turn of the millennium, Carey’s popularity with critics and the public had entered decline, and she was dropped from her new record label following a highly-publicised physical breakdown and an unsuccessful foray into film. In 2005, Carey returned to the forefront of R&B music with her multi-platinum album The Emancipation of Mimi, which spawned her sixteenth number-one single, “We Belong Together”.
