21 May 2013 at 2:18 PM

For those of you who haven't heard, the one and only Justin Bieber was actually booed at the Billboard Music Awards held in Las Vegas this past Sunday. Although the 19-year old won the first ever Milestone award for having 5 tracks in the top 200, we wanted to take a look at a few of the more boo-worthy moments Bieber has experienced over the years. Enjoy.
5. Justin is feeling a little under the weather

4. But it's okay because he still likes dancing

3. He can get a little sassy at times

2. And down right cocky

1. But hey, he is THE Biebs, so just

10 Songs to Shotgun Cheap Beers to This May 2-4
13 May 2013 at 2:09 PM

Although Friday seems like an eternity from now, with May 2-4 happening this weekend, we wanted to give you a list of songs to fuel your beer binging, cottage going, shenanigan-filled long weekend. From chill Sublime to upbeat EDM, let this list guide you on your journey to a long weekend you probably won’t remember.
1. Sublime – 40 Ounces to Freedom
Couldn't have a list destined for a long weekend without something from Sublime.
2. Spirit of the west – Home for a Rest
Essentially the anthem for any form of drinking-related activities.
3. Thin Lizzy – Whiskey in the Jar
Most people would know the Metalica version, but we like to keep it classic (and no one likes a metal head drunk...)
4. Banjo & Sullivan – I’m Home Getting Hammered While She’s Out Getting Nailed
Not our first choice to write about but hilarious drunken conversation starter.
5. Jimmy Buffet - Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw
Another classic from Jimmy Buffet, the ukulele is endearing though.
6. The Champs – Tequila
Let's be honest, this is just a great song, not to mention it has a pretty simple message.
7. Andrew W K – Party Till You Puke
If you aren't able to accomplish puking from your activities this weekend, this video will surely help.
8. LMFAO ft. Lil Jon – Shots
Partying out in full force in this one, and let's be honest you must have shotgunned a few before throwing together 97% of the outfits in this video. Also a dangerously good drinking game.
9. R3hab – The Bottle Song
Instead of taking shots, why not just cut out the middle man and move straight to bottles?
10. Avicii – Alcoholic
First there were shots, then bottles, and now? An original track that is as good for drinking as the title suggests.

Exposed: Cats Forced to Perform in Drug-Fuelled Doors Cover Band
10 May 2013 at 2:48 PM


Left to right: Meowby Krieger, John Pawsmore and Ray Catzarek perform at Meowrrison Hotel, Berlin. (Not pictured, Jim Whiskerson.)

Dimebag Sockswell of opening act Pawtera.

After free-pouring a pint of Jack Daniels into his mouth, Jim Whiskerson performs a surly solo rendition of "Hello, I Love You."

Meowrrison Hotel resident DJ, Catnip Bluntz.

This young DJ has the glazed over look consistent with a mispent, drug-fuelled youth.

Jimmy's Kitty Kamp is a gruelling, months-long ordeal that some cats fail to survive.

The younger the better, say the patrons of Meowrrison Hotel.

Word on the street is that there's a new Bob Segar-themed club in town, Brand New Meowning.

3 Artists With Multiple Creepy Album Covers
07 May 2013 at 12:10 PM

Have you ever been flipping through your records, CDs, or itunes album covers only to find yourself thinking: "Wow, this band is really creeping me out." Well, so did we and here are the results:
Iron Maiden:
A great band that also took the route of making their albums covers worthy of giving children nightmares. With all of their albums, these are the creepiest of the bunch.
(1990 - No Prayer For The Dying)

(1992 - Fear of the Dark)

(1995 - The X Factor)

Korn:
A Nu-Metal band coming from sunny California have earned the number two slot in our list. We only included the 3 creepiest covers, but we assure you that the rest are just as bad. The band actually has their 11th album releasing later this year, we will have to wait and see if this cover will make the next list.
(1994 - Korn)

(1996 - Life Is Peachy)

(2005 - See You On The Other Side)

Aphex Twin:
The fact that he was able to make multiple albums covers mainly depicting his face and still succeeds in making them creepy, earns Aphex Twin our number one spot for the creepiest multiple album covers.
(1995 - ..I Care Because You Do)

(1996 - Richard D. James)

(1999 - Windowlicker)

Just incase the album covers aren’t creepy enough for you, check out this video…
Honourable Mention: Justin Bieber.
He has millions of screaming fans, he still creeps me out.
(2010 - My World)

10 Worst Festival Fashion Fails
01 May 2013 at 1:57 PM

With the summer fast approaching, festivals are the next big thing to hit the music world, and we wanted to give you a quick overview on what outfits we will be avoiding this season. Although festivals are bound to bring tons of fun, and certainly some colorful individuals, you do not need to look like a confused rainbow who forgot a piece or two of a socially acceptable outfit.
Whether you're bound for an EDM festival like Electric Daisy Carnival or more of a hippie festival like Bonnaroo or Burning Man, make sure you're dressed for the occasion. But you should also take a couple of minutes extra to plan a functional outfit over a ridiculous one.
Let’s start out with couples:

1. Let the ascot/neck bandana and fanny pack act as bonus fail points.

2. Major highlight being the morphsuit that, although allowing you to be easily spotted in a crowd, may give the impression that you're covered in horrible scars from drunken knife fights on a boat in international waters.

3. Our last couple has hilariously planned outfits. Unfortunately the awkwardly tight pants in the heat can’t have been that comfortable, and those wigs must have just been a nuisance.
Let’s call this the “hats” section:

4. This guy’s strategy appears to be the mounted deer look, which is fine mixed with the irony that he looks like a deer in headlights who's decided to attack the car barreling towards him.

5. The best part is, he appears to be pleased with himself.
Next, the inexplicably weird:

6. Glasses... Enough said.

7. Mask, tights, socks, fanny pack... etc.
Finally the just plain frightening:

8. Although hair can be expressive, this appears to be more of a hazard.

9. The common pale guy with no shirt: Keeping aloe vera sales alive since 1969.

10. This is the one sure way to be the most memorably terrifying individual at the entire festival.

Watch: The Horrors Cover Bowie
08 April 2013 at 10:30 AM

The Horrors have spanned many a genre over their almost decade-long career -- from their goth-punk infused debut Strangehouse and krautrock-y follow-up to their post-punk gem Skying -- but they've never tackled the genre that is David Bowie. Until now.
Watch The Horrors work their dark magic on "Suffragette City," from Bowie's 1972 classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
Only complaint? The omission of the "Wham bam thank you ma'am" line. Why?

Watch: Tyler, The Creator is Stuck Inside a Dollhouse
04 April 2013 at 11:08 AM

If there's one dude we can count on to consistently turn out deliciously twisted videos (besides Flaming Lips ringleader Wayne Coyne) it's Tyler, the Creator. In his latest, for the song "IFHY," we find Tyler wearing a Vanilla Sky-esque facial prosthetic and stuck inside a dollhouse with an equally creepy female companion. Better to just see for yourself -- unless you're in any way f-bomb averse, of course.
