Mark your calendars and get out your sleeping bags. Apple and AT&T stores will begin selling the much-awaited iPhone on June 29, and lines are expected to be long.

The combination iPod, cell phone and Internet device "will be sold out by mid-afternoon" on opening day, predicts Richard Doherty, an independent analyst with The Envisioneering Group. "There's that much anticipation for it."

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has projected sales of 10 million iPhones in its first year. With two models priced at $499 and $599, depending on storage capacity, that would generate more than $5 billion in additional retail sales.

 

Finally A Solid Date. I know a certain Web Master at Sitv who is salivating at the thought of an iPhone.

(His name is Al, and hes a BAMF)

Seriously though, The iPhone looks really cool… i wish they would release an ipod thats similar to the iphone design, but without the phone part of it. 

Unless your willing to pull a PS3 and camp out infront of the apple store, the odds of you getting one are probably around the negative 7 range.

PARIS Hilton is coping with an "unjust, unfair" sentence alone in a tiny cell 23 hours a day, her lawyer said yesterday after visiting the heiress.

Richard Hutton said outside the Century Regional Detention Facility that his high-profile client was upbeat and positive after her first night behind bars.

"She's doing very well under the circumstances," Mr Hutton said.

"Her attitude is, 'I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, get it over with and I'm going to show the world who I really am'.

Who I really am…. a skanky whore who is famous for being a skanky whore….

Or a shallow shell of a human being who has no morals or emotions.

I hate you paris hilton, i hate you so much, and if i ever met you in real life, I would punch you in the Baby Maker.

 Rage Against the Machine has a new Website…

When it was announced back on January 22 that Rage Against the Machine would reunite for a headlining slot at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in April, it was implied that the show would be the band's only reunion gig.

In fact, guitarist Tom Morello told MTV News that Coachella's closing set would be Rage's sole reunion performance, at least for the foreseeable future 

Then, two months ago, Rage announced that they'd be participating in the revived Rock the Bells Festival alongside Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy and others this summer. The band has agreed to appear at the July 28 and 29 dates at New York's Randall's Island; the August 11 gig in San Bernardino, California; and the August 18 stop in San Francisco.

Now, a new Web site has surfaced, ratm82407.com, which features two countdown clocks and the opening riff to Rage's "Bulls on Parade" running in a continuous loop.

Duuuuuuude

What next. Steve in da mix and I were THERE for that show. We were front fucking row for the reunion. I have no idea what the site could be for.

A full on reunion?

A New Album?

Odds are that it's just another concert… but a guy can dream right?

Redmond (WA) - As part of the Xbox Live Arcade's weekly update, a retooled version of Pac-Man has been added to the online store, as a tribute to the retiring founder of the classic arcade game.

Pac-Man Championship Edition stays true to Pac-Man's roots, adding new maps to the original game that first hit the U.S. more than 27 years ago.  It's the same game that was used in a special Xbox 360 tournament earlier this year in New York.

2 Days ago I posted some comments an employee of Microsoft made. He said that MS was releasing something that would CHANGE the gaming industry. 

Those are fighting words for sure…. So today, i went back and tried to find out what the announcement was….

They released a remake of Pac-Man.

Are… You… Freaking…. kidding me? ooooooohhhh Pac-man, How revolutionary… for 1970!!!. Hey, welcome to 2007, We have Blu-Ray, 1080p, Motion sensing technology and Massive Multilayer Online Role Playing Games.

Pardon me if a yellow circle eating dots doesn't impress me anymore. 

Change the game industry my Ass.

Screw you Microsoft.

Phantom Planet. What can i say about phantom planet?

well, for one, i feel bad for them….

I'm going to be real honest…They are not a bad band. Seriously.BUT they will be forever plagued by the whole "we did the theme song for the OC while Jason Shwartzman was our drummer then he left and the OC was canceled and now were nobodies….

so that kinda sucks…

My girlfriend really likes them so we went to see them at the Roxy… I was not disappointed. They put on a sick show. The lead singer has a really good stage presence and i was thoroughly impressed. granted the crowd was filled with kids who thought that they were indie because they like bands from the OC soundtrack… but whatever. 

Jamie Kennedy was at the show. I think he was picking up on some skanky looking groupies. My girlfriend whispered to me that Jamie Kennedy was behind us and lo and behold, there he was. I'm not sure what else to write….. Kickin it old school sucked, sorry man. but hey, At least your working right? Thats half the battle. if you can play the race card, play it all the way to the bank… especially if your WHITE.

Maroon 5 are good friends of Phantom Planet, so apparently they were kickin it at the show too. (strangely enough they were not kickin it old school) Adam Levine is shorter than i thought he would be. He was having a conversation with this dude who was totally smashed about 80's music. Adam was laughing his ass off the whole time because the guy was slurring and stumbling. True story. 

I ALSO saw one of the guys from Orguillo Cafe, one of the three finalists on SiTV's very own Jammin Onstage competition. Motherfucker really loved phantom planet. He was Jumping up and down and practically moshing. Good guy, i think he may have been a bit drunk though…. 

Overall a very eventful night. Saw a BUNCH of diffrent people and saw some pretty good music… and after the show was over, we went into culver city and got frozen Yogurt. Great night.

If there is one thing that you dont do, its try to take a baby away from its mother right after its been born. Thats what jack white felt Chicago based Q101 did when they played his new album in its entirety.

Chicago alt rock station Q101 probably shouldn't have been surprised that White took time out from his duo's European tour on Wednesday to call in from Spain and give DJ Electra a verbal beatdown for playing the band's new album, Icky Thump, in its entirety during her show

Did we mention that Thump isn't out until June 19? Well, Electra did — several times — according to station music director/assistant program director Spike (who declined to give his real name), who noted that the DJ enthusiastically hyped the album repeatedly during the sneak peek. Kind words notwithstanding, White was pissed.

"I was extraordinarily surprised when Jack called," said Spike, of the call, which came two hours after the album was played at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. "I had no idea what his reaction would be because I don't know the dude. In my head he's this indie-rock dude, so the fact that he'd be calling at all was cool to me. But when he was mad, it was a curve ball." Spike said White was, in fact, "really mad" and though he didn't yell, he used words like "naive" and "coward" and insinuated that DJs like Electra were helping speed the demise of the music industry.

 

Damn Son.

Looks like Mr.  Strong and silent has a bit of a nasty streak up in him.

See Jack Call,

Scold Jack Scold!

Go Jack GO!

That always confused me, Why a station would play a brand new CD over the air for everyone to hear. For one, Somone could record the album and BAM, brand new CD two weeks before release.

OR… worse, people could hear the CD, decide that they don't like it, and not go buy it…. which sucks for rockstars like Jack white, but rules for the consumer…..

It's a fine line to walk. Allz i know is i wish i could have been there to see the DJ's face when he hears that jack white is on the line and hes fuckin pissed to holy hell.

Microsoft is to make a MAJOR announcement tomorrow.

The latest word on the street suggests that Microsoft is to make a MAJOR announcement tomorrow. No clues have been revealed but the Pac-Man world championships takes place tomorrow and according to a conversation Aaron Greenberg had with Gamertag Radio, Microsoft will unveil a secret to gamers around the world that will go down in video game history.

 Video Game HISTORY?

wow Microsoft, them are fighting words. You better has  something that blows my fuckin head off to call it video game history.

What could it be?! Any suggestions?

Im thinking either

A. An Xbox Handheld

B. Free Xbox Live

C. 65nm Chips in all new Xbox

D. The Purchase of A Major Game company such as
Square Enix or Sega or Capcom

E. A Free Chatpad

F. A Free XBL Arcade game. 

Maybe Microsoft will start a return policy that exchanges your Red ringed 360 for a brand new puppy that belonged to Jesus….

Now I KNOW that our blogs have been ripe with Love advice and juicy tidbits of gossip… and i didn't want to be left in the dark…

We've had advice on Sex, Dating, Romance… just about everything.

But what about those times when your out clubbing and someone asks for your number…. and you just don't want to give it to them.  It's happened to me a few times. Whats a guy to do?

Well, I'm not a particularly mean guy, so i usually give out the the number to the rejection hotline.

In Los Angeles, the number is 310-217-7638.

go ahead, give it a call, record it in your address book. Try it out. it feels pretty good.

Kobe Bryant has asked to be traded. In some Shocking news, Mr laker, Kobe Bryant, has requested his departure from the Lakers. 

Continuing a week that has been as close to unforgettable as any in the Lakers' rich history, Kobe Bryant has said he wants to be traded from the Lakers.

"I would like to be traded, yeah," Bryant told ESPN radio. "Tough as it is to come to that conclusion there's no other alternative."

Bryant, who turns 29 in August, has four years and $88.6 million left on his contract. Bryant's frustration has continued to boil since the Lakers were eliminated by the Phoenix Suns in five games earlier this month, and Bryant has been increasingly vocal with his displeasure, which started with his acknowledgement to The Times last Saturday, when he said he wanted the team to acquire more pieces around him.

The franchise has not decided what to do with Bryant's declaration, although it will not be as easy as it appears to move him.

Bryant will obviously waive his no-trade clause, but he has a trade kicker in his contract that is believed to add about $13 million to his total contract value, a cost to be absorbed by any team that acquires him. The money would be paid like a signing bonus and would not count toward the salary cap. The Lakers had to pay a similar fee to Lamar Odom when they acquired him from Miami three years ago, paying him about $8 million.

A Lakers spokesman declined comment early Wednesday morning.

  Un-Believable, I was shocked that he didn't sign with another team when shaq was traded, and even more shocked when the lakers surrounded him with utter and complete garbage for the last three years.

and now, Kobe Bryant's Legacy as a laker is coming to a sad pathetic close.

Good luck man, LA is a ruthless town, here's to hoping you survive long enough to be traded.

 Britney,

Please, Shut the Fu*k up and go away. Accept your fate and fade into obscurity.

…Then again, there's nothing I enjoy more than watching music royalty publicly ruin their lives… 

on second though, keep doin what you're doing girl, everyone loves a trainwreck! : )
