You know you are a big deal when Presidential hopefuls and other world dignitaries want to speak with you more than the current U.S. President...anyway, check out what Bono had to say here

Kanye West has bumped the release of his latest record 808's and Heartbreak up from December to "November Something," as West put it on his site. West feels that since the record is done why hold on to it and just let the people hear it.

Live Review-Bloc Party @ Roseland

"Hello, we are Bloc Party from London, England. Now are you are ready to get a little fresh?!" The opening remarks of Bloc Party front man Kele Okereke as they took the stage for a free concert Thursday night at New York City's Roseland Ballroom. The legendary swing venue was transformed into an all out new wave dance party as the London lads broke out into new songs from their latest Intimacy. While the surprise record has gotten mixed reviews, the songs live sounded fantastic. This was the second time I have seen Bloc Party this year and the third time overall. The last time I had witnessed this band was just last month at Lollapalooza during a disappointing main stage performance, Thursday night the band redeemed themselves and proved they are a band that excels in a club atmosphere. Cranking out so much energy and having the crowd in absolute awe, Bloc Party delivered a set filled with old favorites like "Banquet," and "This Modern Love," while tossing in tracks from Weekend in the City. Yet the set was chock full of new tunes from Intimacy, a dance - electro record of epic proportions. I look forward to seeing when they will return and if you must, catch them in a small venue where they fit like a glove.

Quantum of Awesomeness!

Ben Kingsley is Minor Threat?!

Sir Ben Kingsley STOMPS into the shoes of Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye from Mean Magazine on Vimeo.

This video is so fresh, well done, and bizarre that it had to be posted. Sir Kingsley seriously is an actor who will do anything and be brilliant at it! Enjoy!
