STUFF I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
Welcome to the Music 5 & 1, boys and girls! It's a new year, and I don't know if you guys do New Year's resolutions but I don't. I used to, but I found that I broke them so often that it just made sense to make resolutions throughout the year and keep to them then. If I do have one though, my resolution is to get my stuff don on a better schedule so you guys get your columns to read right at the same time as anyone else. Now I just need to find the time...anyway! Onto the girls and gossip!
Shania Twain very nearly met her match in the last obstacle on her way to the Hall of Bang last week. Shania was up against Kalia Williams and the two traded the lead throughout the first half of the week, but ultimately it was the pop country star that pulled ahead and never looked back. As a result, Shania makes it into the legendary Hall of Bang! Congratulations to Miss Twain, who I'm sure will be thrilled at the news. To celebrate, enjoy this little Shania pictorial I cobbled together for you!
With Shania moved onto the Hall, we have two new competitors stepping up to the fray! With Shania skewing a bit older on our hot list (not that I'm saying it's a bad thing, mind), I thought we'd go a bit younger. Avril Lavigne's hotness is a matter of much debate to some, though not personally to me. Here's her opportunity to make strides toward earning a spot in the best of the best as she battles for a first leg into the Hall against the current young beauty du jour of Selena Gomez! Which one will make it into the Hall? It's up to you, so vote away!

IN REVIEW
Being a Music Zone, you would think that we have a lot of people who love to talk about music. You would not be wrong. As such, when an album comes out that we have something to say about, we just can't help ourselves. We call that the Review Section…not the most original name, but it gets the point across! Anyway, the review section is a great place to find new music as we cover all sorts of genres and styles, from mainstream artists to lesser known acts. Here's an overview of our latest reviews.
Lady Gaga - A Very Gaga Holiday EP(6.5) "In just four songs, Gaga aims for numerous things. She wants a home-for-the-holidays feeling, a classic vocal pop record, and a unique rapport with her loyal Little Monsters. It could also feasibly be a Gaga record for people who don't really take heed to her usual style. Or it would be had it not been for her own personal traits and excesses that still manage to permeate the EP (still laughing that she stopped a song to tell a story about cookies). Worth hearing if you like that old style, or if you long to have a taste of Gaga without the beats and craziness. For the most part, though, it's for fans, even if this is all still pretty good music. Here's hoping she tries this style again one day." - Wyatt E.
Rammstein - Made In Germany, 1995-2011(7.5) " To condense such a visceral body of work into an hour and five minutes is awfully tricky, and mistakes are certainly made here - not the least of which is the lack of "Feuer Frei" - but it's a damn good sampler, though. Most of the big moments are here, and thanks to good presentation, it's a captivating experience unto itself. Rumors have swirled for the past few years that Rammstein's breakup could be any time now, and if Made In Germany is the band's swan song, well, a compact, unmerciful attack of huge riffs and thudding drums is certainly a heck of a way to go out in style (even if, as a fan, I'm hoping otherwise)." - Wyatt E.
T-Pain - rEVOLVEr(6.5) "All in all the album is a typical T-Pain album. Nothing has evolved, with his auto-tune being replaced with the T-Pain effect, which sounds identical to auto tune. T-Pain limited the guests, but the best songs on the album have him sharing the mic giving you a very mixed album. You know what you are going to get with T-Pain. Some will love him, some will hate him, some will put up with him, but it is safe to say there is more than enough quality on here to ensure that AutoTune is indeed not dead." - Bill Wannop
Evolver - Evolver(7.5) "Mike Smith has spent a long time being a guitarist for other projects, and Evolver is his opportunity to stake his own claim as a singer/songwriter. The hard rock/alt-metal sound is not too surprising considering Smith's background, but the abundance of melody built within the songs may surprise a few. Acoustic guitars are prevalent, especially on the second half, and really bode well for the material present. It's a grower, but Evolver's self-titled debut has enough memorable songs to be worth a purchase." - Dan Marsicano
Korn - The Path Of Totality(4.5) "It's a neat little trick Korn have attempted, and for a while it's certainly a fun diversion, but in the end, The Path Of Totality is just the same Korn we've been stuck with for the past decade: going to great lengths to redefine themselves, or at least grab our attention, and inevitably coming up short. You're not surprised, are you?" - Wyatt E.
MUSIC VIDEO A-GO-GO
There's no particular reason for this week's music video other than I've had it running through my head all week for some reason. So without further ado, my readers...Concrete Blonde's "Joey":
CRAZY GALLAGHER QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"The one everybody would like to see is The Smiths and they say it's not going to happen. But they said the Roses wouldn't happen and they said Led Zeppelin wouldn't happen."
- Noel tries to prove that he can make the Smiths reunite via the power of his infallible (actually, highly fallible) logic.
BUBBLING UNDER You know what time it is, folks...these are the stories that I found worth touching on but didn't quite make the Top Five and thus become little bites of snark as opposed to a full course of it.
Sinead O'Connor's Husband Has the Best Divorce Reason Ever
You would think that, with all the press around it and the reportedly manufactured drama for their reality show, that Kim Kardashian's wedding would have been the shortest celebrity wedding of the year. You would be wrong though as Sinead O'Connor decided she had to beat it in a last-minute development. The former picture-ripper couldn't even make her marriage to drug counselor Barry Herridge last three weeks. "It felt like I was living in a coffin -- it was going to be a coffin for both of us, and I saw him crushed ... the whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man," said Sinead. What led to the split, you ask? Certainly this is a situation where the parties were incompatible and no one was at fault. You'd be half-right if you thought that. Sinead explained that the marriage hit a rocky turn in the very first night...when she tried to buy marijuana and almost bought crack. "We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous. I wasn't scared – but he's a drugs counselor. What was I thinking? That kind of messed everything up a bit, really. Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over, the marriage was kyboshed by the behavior of certain people in my husband's life." You know, I really don't have a joke that could top the fact that Sinead O'Connor took her drug addiction specialist husband out to buy drugs on their wedding night. That makes the usual wedding night disappointment kind of pale by comparison.
"Was it something I said?"
Apparently "Yeezy is a Douche" Was Taken
We can't go a week or two without mentioning Kanye West doing something dumb. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to; he just won't let me because he keeps doing dumb shit. 'Ye decided to do some deejaying for New Year's Eve, which is all good. Or rather, it would be if he hadn't decided to make it a pointless and headline-grabbing attention ploy. Kanye announced via Twitter:
"My New Years DJ name is gone be YEEZY WORLD PEACE! If you book me you have to put YEEZY WORLD PEACE on the E-vite. Or I aint spinning. Ima need a stealth bomber and 2 bottled waters #YEEZYWORLDPEACE'SRIDER"
So, I have two questions. First, how long until he changes his name once more, this time to Y. Diddy? Second, does anyone have a couple bottled waters? I want to see what his deejaying is like.
What, you didn't know 411 had its own stealth bomber?
It comes stocked with TNA-seeking missles.

DMX Gets Busted By Cops; Also, The Sky Is Blue
Is it even news when DMX gets in trouble with the police anymore? The guy logs more time in the mug shot studio than Taylor Momsen does at the Daddy Issues Styling Salon. But yes, our favorite constantly-incarcerated rapper found himself in hot water with the cops and unsurprisingly, it was while he was driving. Cops pulled the rapper and his assistant over, noting that neither was wearing seat belts; they were ticketed and released. "Just a minor ticket no biggie," said the man. "A quick learning lesson about not wearing a seat belt. I will handle and pay for it. This would be the only reason I come in contact with the police because I am a changed man." Seriously D, with as much trouble as you get into on the road how do you not know the entire drivers manual for every state back and forth by now? The big surprise for DMX was that he was ticketed; the guy's probably never actually been pulled over with anything less than a towing, a mug shot and a hastily-written press release.
He has so many mug shots, this was his Christmas card to save on time.
Pearl Jam Provides Your Warm and Fuzzy News Of the Week
Chalk this up in the same (but somewhat lesser) category as Pink dropping five grand to save a puppy's life from last week. Pearl Jam once again showed how they're one of the most awesome people in rock as they turned a sad story into a great one. Terminally-diagnosed fan Josh Hardy got a gift when he was seventeen years old in the form of a guitar autographed by the entire band. After Josh's passing, the guitar went to his younger brother Ben. Now thirty-four, Ben recently had the prized guitar stolen and though it was returned, all the autographs had been scrubbed off. Now, let's set aside the question of "How fucked up do you have to be to steal someone's dead brother's guitar, vandalize it and return it?" for just a moment. Ben was very upset about the whole thing and had written it off when out of the blue he received ANOTHER guitar from the band, fully signed. Apparently Eddie Vedder and company heard about the story and shipped it off as a surprise. "It's an amazing gesture of goodwill. It exceeds expectations ... They went above and beyond," said Ben. I'll go one step further and say that Pearl Jam just proved why they're easily more awesome than anyone else. Great story and kudos to them for doing it.
Eddie Vedder: Cooler Than You. Deal with it.
The "Pigs Are Flying" News Of the Week Guns N' Roses reunion news is all the rage with the band's pending induction into the Hall of Fame. Last week I reported on how Axl Rose was seeming to ease his constant and vehement stance against reuniting the band, albeit in a kinda-sorta-hmming and hawing sort of way. Now, it seems like it may just happen. Slash recently said that he's trying to work things out with Axl and resolve the band issues so that a Hall of Fame reunion could actually happen. "The split between Axl and I was a quiet one," he said. "But because there was so much attention on the break-up - and are we going to get back together - it got built up into this monster that led to a kind of animosity that wasn't the focus for me. Neither one of us wants to be down each other's throats for no reason. At this point, I'm trying to put it to rest. When I see footage of Guns N' Roses, I see that fucking hunger and attitude. You could not fuck with those five guys. It was just raw. It was this lean, hungry thing on its way up. It was as sincere as any rock 'n' roll that I've ever heard, and I'm proud of that." If this happens--and that's still a big "if," I might add--I'll happily eat some crow. In a metaphorical sense, obviously, 'cause crow is probably pretty gamey.
You lose a lot of flavor after you've been subjected to a lot of bad sequels.
It's time to crank this mother up to 11 as we take a look at some random stuff from the last week and one smoking hottie.

Katy Perry Gets a Divorce
I really didn't wanna lead with this one, but it is the big musical gossip news of the week. Katy Perry and Russell Brand have announced that they're divorcing after (more or less) a year of marriage. Rumors have been flying about the couple as far back as the end of November, when it was reported that the couple were calling it quits; however, Perez Hilton reported that everything is just fine between them. Smooth going there, Perez. Russell filed the paperwork, claiming the old "irreconcilable differences" chestnut and making the celeb-standard "It's with sadness that we're divorcing but we're still friends" announcement. This followed a couple days of speculation that there had been problems between the two after Katy was seen in Hawaii and Russell was seen out without his wedding ring.
Who would have thought that Arthur wouldn't be the worst thing
to happen to Russell Brand in 2011?
Now, I'm not gonna lie...my first guess was that Russell had done something to screw up the relationship. Apparently not though, as it was Katy's love of partying that caused things to fall apart. Katy apparently enjoys the night life but Russell, being a recovering alcoholic who's been sober for a while, was not a fan of the scene and he would often try to get Katy to leave early with him which led to fights. The two are said to be both stubborn and neither would back down; the lack of much time spent with each other due to Katy's tour and Russell's film work also didn't help matters much. A source says, "It was just a bad pairing," noting that the two don't hate each other and there doesn't seem to be any bad blood at all. The worst thing I've heard come out of the divorce is that Katy wanted Russell to file the paperwork so as not to upset her parents, who are very religious. The two even reportedly made a serious effort to patch things up and didn't want to give up on the marriage until they tried every avenue, but it just "wasn't there."
I'm not going to minimize how much this sucks for the two of them. This doesn't come off like a usual celebrity divorce, full of cheating allegations, abuse, child custody fights or such. This is just two people who loved each other but didn't find their lifestyles compatible. That may suck for me because it's boring to report on, but it mostly just sucks for them. More power to both of them if all of this is legitimate and they're remaining friends, and hopefully they'll be able to find happiness in their lives both together as friends and separately in love.
On the plus side, Katy's single. What, you didn't think I'd go there?
Chris Brown and Rihanna: They Found Love?
Just when you thought the Chris Brown and Rihanna news was over...no. No, it's never over. It probably never will be other, so we might as well get used to it. Chris and Rihanna's name were mentioned in the news together earlier this week when it was noted that Chris was coming back to the Grammys. Chris has been nominated for Best R&B album for F.A.M.E. and thus will be coming back to the show for the first time since he was arrested for abusing Miss "We Found Love" night before the ceremony in 2009. Immediately there were people saying that Brown shouldn't be welcome because of that whole assault thing. Personally, I think the bigger problem is this: how in the name of whatever god, gods, amorphous entity, Spaghetti monster or Jedi Order you believe in did an album that includes the track "Wet the Bed" get nominated for a freaking Grammy? Was the R&B field REALLY that weak this year?
Don't give me the sad face, Chris. "Wet the Bed" was freaking terrible.
Anyway, no sooner had that news settled down a bit did news pop up that Chris and Rihanna may still be in love. This isn't rampant speculation--or rather, it is rampant speculation, but at least it's based on some conspicuous tweets that are at least as reliable as the random bullshit "sources" that Us magazine and E! Online quote on a regular basis. The couple sent the tweets within a short amount of time of each other declaring their love for equally-unnamed individuals. Chris was the first to tweet, saying "Love U more than u know!" at 8:06 PM. Three minutes later, Rihanna tweeted, "I'll always love u #1LOVE"
Okay, even I'm gonna admit that's somewhat speculative. Sure, the timing is very interesting but I'd hardly consider that damning evidence. However, for the purposes of rampant fun, I'm going to assume that they are to each other because let's face it, it's boring if they're tweeting their mothers or some such crap. If this is legit, I certainly hope Rihanna knows what she's doing. She nearly got a nasty backlash when rumors popped up that she was considering going back to him after the assault. Abuse is not something that's taken lightly and going back to the guy who notoriously messed up your face is not the smartest of moves; if it happens again than even though I don't agree with this stance, people will turn against her and frankly not care if it happens again. I'm not saying that Chris Brown IS going to abuse her again, but keep in mind that he still obviously have anger issues and if he can punch a Good Morning America wall hard enough to leave a hole, I'm guessing he can punch a human being as well. I'm all for forgiving and forgetting if someone's shown honest regret and desire to change; Brown hasn't shown that so I wouldn't be all tweeting my love if I were her. Of course, they still can't legally be very close to each other until next year, but still it is something to be concerned over.
Unless she's the "M" in "S&M," it's not a good idea.
In other Rihanna-related poor decisions, the pop singer asked fans
Pissing Off Twitter Fans = Good For Pocketbook
Now, before we get into this story, I've stated in this and other columns before that I'm about as left-wing as it gets. I don't mind saying that I'm a bleeding-heart hippie tree lover (though I do bathe), but I've also been very adamant that most news stories don't require a political bent in terms of commentary, especially when you're talking about pop culture. Take Kelly Clarkson and Michelle Branch, for example. Kelly recently tweeted her unofficial endorsement for Republican candidate Ron Paul, setting off a firestorm among her (presumably more liberal) fans. I love Ron Paul," she tweeted. "I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't."
Immediately, fans got bent out of shape due to racist allegations around what Paul has said in the past and Kelly heard several earloads full of the criticism in the form of Twitter replies. "I am really sorry if I have offended anyone," she said. "Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women's rights, men's rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all of the Republican nominees, he's my favorite." Michelle Branch, who dared agree with Clarkson, got her own share of at-symbol criticism and similarly responded with "Hmm. Didn't mean to offend. I am not racist and am absolutely not a homophobe. Just trying to weed through the non-impressive choices!"
I really hope racism doesn't look this good or we're screwed.
Now, I'm not going to step outside of the music zone into politics to defend Ron Paul. There are enough people in the comments section that do that even if I wanted to. But I've never really gotten why you boycott an artist because of their political views. Singers and actors are people just like everyone else and they have just as much right to speak their mind as I do. I get annoyed when neoconservatives attack celebs for liberal statements, and I get annoyed when liberals attack celebs for potentially-conservative statements because unless they're Toby Keith and are blatantly incorporating their politics into their music, I frankly couldn't care less who they support. I tend to believe that those who get so angry at "liberal Hollywood" or the conservative branch of country music or such are people who feel threatened by those points of view. I know where my vote will eventually go; I don't need my mind made up by Kelly Clarkson or Sean Penn or Clint Eastwood, Ann Coulter or such and thus I don't care who they endorse.
As an obvious caveat, I do personally find problems with celebrities espousing specific beliefs or promoting facts that are not necessarily facts to skew a particular political direction. If Kelly or Michelle had said "Yeah, down with those gays" or "Conservatives are all racists" or such, I'd have a personal issue with it because it doesn't coincide with my beliefs. But even then, that's their choice to make and as long as they're not putting it in their songs, I'm not going to enjoy their music any less. And clearly that's the case for many, as Clarkson's sales actually went up over 200% on Amazon after the fact. Ron Paul's grassroots support is apparently good for more than just Ron Paul.
Also: way hotter than Palin or Bachmann. I'm just sayin'.
There is No Lost Radiohead Track
Or at the very least, not one that we know of. Alt rock fans went into a tizzy recently when a "lost" Radiohead track was leaked online. This track, which had been given the titles of "Putting Ketchup In The Fridge" and "How Do You Sit Still" by Radiohead fan site Ateaseweb.com, had a lot of attention as would be expected of a rare unreleased track from a band as beloved as Thom Yorke and company. There was only one problem...it wasn't them.
"Nice try, assholes."
The song itself was revealed as a hoax when singer/songwriter/Canadian bakery-owner Christopher Stopa laid claim to the track. Stopa said that he found out that his 2001 song "Sit Still" was being passed off as a Radiohead song when he sat down in front of the computer, clicked on the link and heard it for himself. "What started coming out my speakers sounded extremely familiar and then after a couple of seconds I thought, 'Wait a minute, this is my song,'" said Stopa. "My first thought was somehow I'd hit play on my iTunes and I was hearing my own demos." As of yet there has been no word on whether the song was intentionally misleaked or just miscredited as an accident.
A celebrity interpretation of how
Radiohead fans reacted to the news.
Now call me skeptical because I am--maybe I wasted all my good faith on Katy Perry and Russell Brand--but I don't get how someone "accidentally" leaks a track and mislabels it. If you find a song online, it's usually got a name and title to it. That means that someone, somewhere had to have found a track titled something around the vicinity of "Christopher Stopa - Sit Still" and relabeled it "OMG LOST RADIOHEAD KETCHUP TRACK!" Either this person was very stupid or just downright deceitful. Either way, this person is very stupid and I implore you, readers to beat them soundly about the head and shoulders if you know who they are.*
* Neither Jeremy Thomas, the 5&1 Illuminati nor anyone involved with 411mania are responsible if you are stupid enough to beat someone up because a guy in a gossip news column told you to. Violence is not the answer.
Happy Chris Brown agrees with the above disclaimer

Making me choose between Avril and Selena?
You are evil.
Posted By: Guest#5483 (Guest) on January 01, 2012 at 11:14 PM
As for Vs., submit two WOMEN and maybe ill vote. Beiber's skank and The Million Dollar Punching Bag are NOT viable choices.
With regard to Russell and Katy, this is ENTIRELY HER fault. Unless Katy really IS as stupid as she portrays, she KNEW that Russell was a recovering alcoholic and couldnt be around such risky behaviour BEFORE they were married. There are LOTS of ways she could have kept her party lifestyle while looking out for the man she supposedly loved. Russell is FAR from an angel himself, but recently he has appeared to at least put some serious effort into cleaning himself up. For Katy to insist on keeping up the party while ignoring her husband's needs COMPLETELY just shows her for the phony she truly is.

I usually have no problem picking a favorite in Vs. but this one was a real tough. I'll go with Avril on this one since i've always had a crush on her since she broke out with her song "Complicated". While Selena is pretty damn attractive i can't help but feel somewhat perverted for crushing on her.
