OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG@!@!@#@!!!!!

I cannot believe the news that just dropped today. SANJAYA'S MOTHER IS A MARIJUANA DEALER!!!!!

Sanjaya's Mom & Boobs

Was the mom of Sanjaya Malakar popped for growing marijuana? According to American weekly magazine 'The National Enquirer' they have unearthed legal records that show that Sanjaya Malakar's mom was indeed popped for pot. The magazine will report in this week's issue that Malakar's American-born mother, Jillian Blyth, was busted in Pierce County, Wash., in February 2005 after neighbors reported smelling marijuana and noticed a large vent on the garage roof, according to court records obtained exclusively by The Enquirer, this week's issue details.

According to the report - cops discovered 310 marijuana plants, growing lights -- and Sanjaya's then 17-year-old sister Shyamali. Next, the busty Shyamali told officers that her mom was at another location in nearby Federal Way, Washington, and when the cops got there, they found a second marijuana-growing operation!

Amy Winehouse might not believe in Rehab, but for Eddie Van Halen and Britney Spears it worked wonders...at least superficially. I am sure their insides are still made up of a black tar like substance. Hey! That means celebrities are just like ME!

I just recently heard about this project and I’m still not entirely sure what I think about it. From what I gather it's part drama, part love story, part war movie and lots of musical...or so imdb says.  The musical aspect interests me the most as it seems one of the main themes revolves around the songs of the Beatles in the 60s.  The trailer actually looks kind of interesting, but I'm always wary of movies like this as they're either done really well (see Moulin Rouge) or really poorly (see Velvet Goldmine). The film is directed by Julie Taymor and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Bono, Salma Hayek, Eddie Izzard, and Jim Sturgess! No word yet on the soundtrack but chances are it's full of Beatles covers.  Across the Universe hits theaters on September 28th, 2007. Check out the trailer below. (Via Popbytes)

The title of the movie is taken from one of the best songs the Beatles ever wrote. Check out these covers of "Across The Universe." All of them are pretty top notch but I particularly enjoy the Bowie and Lennon version.

Rufus Wainwright - Across The Universe [MP3] / [YouTube]

David Bowie and John Lennon - Across The Universe [MP3]

Fiona Apple - Across The Universe [MP3] / [YouTube]

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - Across The Universe [MP3] / [YouTube]

Suede - Across The Universe [MP3]

10cc - Across The Universe [MP3]

Yo La Tengo - Across The Universe [MP3]

The Beatles - Across The Universe (Let It Be Naked version) [MP3]

While I'm sad that Leggy Scarnato was voted off American Idol last night, I think we all have to remember what's important here -- AMERICAN IDOL SEX TAPES!!!!!

Yes, it seems to have happened and I and the American Idol producers are NOT THAT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Second season Idoloror Oliva Mojica has just released a sex tape on the internet.

RELEASING A SEX TAPE WHE3RE YOU LOOK LIKE A LITTLE GUTTER-TRAMP NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A SLUT.

STOP AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANTS FROM RELEASING SEX TAPES.

We here at Liquid Generation are big fans of festivals. Or rather, I am. Everyone else here could probably care less.  So it is with great excitement I present to you the line-up for Lollapalooza 2007! It's supposed to be announced tomorrow but found its way onto the internets (of course) today.  Thos of you hoping for the Smashing Pumpkins (Slippy). The Arcade Fire or The National will be disappointed, but pretty much every other band in the known universe is playing.  If it's as fun as last year, it should be real good times...hope to see you there!

Ok. This is a tough one to stomach because I really thought these two were in love.  I mean they were together for so long!  At the risk of sounding jaded, if these two can't make it work what hope do any of us have?  Sorry. ok. Pull yourself together man. Deep breath.

After three weeks, four states and two countries Jonny Borrell singer for the incomprehensibly popular UK act Razorlight, has apparently had enough of Kirsten "Baby Dinosaur Teeth" Dunst.  It has been reported that Borrel dumped Dunst this past weekend to return to the sweet embrace of his old girlfriend Fabiola Gatti.  You know what really bothers me about this?  The fact that Borrell was even in the position to dump Dunst.  The guy has tried unsuccessfully for two records to rip off the Libertines and his band is about as fun live as an infected abscess between your toes.  Yeah, they're that bad.  Anyway I guess BDT is pretty broken up over the whole thing.  I wish I could feel bad for her, but that's what you get when you fall for a skuzzy, no-talent hack. Harsh words I know, but try and make it through this song and you will see where I'm coming from.

(PS - Kirsten, I happen to find smaller than average teeth quite attractive so shoot me an e-mail and maybe we can get together sometime.  I am about as good a songwriter as Johnny so we already have some common ground!)

Razorlight  - America:

It was reported over the weekend that Robert Smith is thinking about a collaboration with Ashlee Simpson for her new record.  At first I thought that this was just plain weird, but then I got to thinking and considering Smith's track record it kinda makes sense.  I mean he has collaborated with Korn, Junior Jack [MP3] and other seemingly strange partners in the past.  I guess this news made me realize that not all of our music heroes (even the ones who wrote some of the best songs ever) are not necessarily "cool" by our current standards.  In all honesty it makes you wonder what really is cool and who sets the standards.  I mean if the guy that wrote albums like Disintegration, Head on the Door and Pornography thinks that Ashlee Simpson is a worthy collaborator, who are we to disagree?  In any case here are some other, err, interesting collaborations:

Timbaland feat. The Hives - Throw It On Me.mp3

Nelly Furtdao feat. Chris Martin - All Good Things Come To An End.mp3

Johnny Cash feat. Flea - I'm A Drifter.mp3

Placebo feat. Michael Stipe - Broken Promise.mp3

And finally...

The Beach Boys and The Fat Boys - Wipeout [YouTube]

Spring is in the air, music is sounding good and beers with limes finally make sense again.  So it only seems right that we get to thinking about all the summer (or late spring) music festivals just around the corner that many of you will not be attending.  But instead of sitting around being bitter at the world that your job doesn’t understand that time off requests for awesome concerts are “valid”, we thought we'd give you some insight into the best of the best this festival season.  And who knows, perhaps some of you readers might have the good fortune of actually attending one or all of these festivals.  Jerks. 

Oh, it turns out there are also rock festivals in Europe but people often die at these things (remember the Pearl Jam incident?) and they're pretty much the same as our festivals except they invite Panic at the Disco! and Fall Out Boy and half of the original Smashing Pumpkins.  So we'll shun these and stick to the shows in our own backyard (Yes, we consider the whole United States to be our backyard and while we're thinking about it, Get Off The Lawn!)….  Also some festivals like Lollapalooza and Virgin Fest don't have their full ineups announced, so we'll have to add them later.  Here we go!  And if do attend any of these make sure to send us pics of all the awesomeness you saw!

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival - LG RATING: A

Where:  Indio, California

When: Friday, April 27th – Sunday April 29th

How Much: $85 1 Day, $249 3 Day (All Sold Out)

The Good: Catch new material from The Arcade Fire, Interpol, Kings of Leon, Klaxons and The New Pornographers, not to mention sets from The Decemberists, The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, The Good, the Bad, and The Queen, Justice, Pop Levi, Jarvis Cocker and Simian Mobile Disco. Plus reunions from The Jesus and Mary Chain, Happy Mondays, Travis, and The Lemonheads.

The Bad: Besides the lack of an awesome headliner (don’t give me that Rage Against the Machine and/or Bjork crap!) and a few smaller duds like Damien Rice, Julieta Venegas, and Fountains of Wayne, I think Peeping Tom and Kaiser Chiefs are the only really crappy bands on the agenda...Tell England to stop sending us their crap, we know your holding out on something better!

WTF?: Willie Nelson? Love him but can’t imagine him squashed between sets of The Roots and Paul Van Dyke.  And when will they stop inviting Ozomatli to these things?

Small Stage bands not to miss: Gogol Bordello might be on a small stage night one but they will be worth the trek, as is the case with Andrew Bird and Pop Levi on night two and Grizzly Bear anf the Klaxons on the final evening.

Great Moments From Past Coachella Festivals: Daft Punk, Art Brut, The Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, T.V. on the Radio, The Go! Team, Eagles of Death Metal

The Good: They got The Arcade Fire too (these guys are everywhere these days).  Plus The Hold Steady, Interpol, Spoon, Neko Case and Clinic.

The Bad:  Not too into Manu Chao, but that may have to do with the fact that you can’t go into a “hip” restaurant without hearing them as the soundtrack to your dinner.  Also kind of crap – Ozomatli, Michael Franti and Spearhead, The Polyphonic Spree and Ghostalnd Observatory.

WTF?: Bad Brains on the Sasquatch main stage while The Dandy Warhols play the Wookie stage.  (There is a Yeti stage as well)  Also weird?  Sarah Silverman is hosting both nights.

Small Stage Bands Not TO Miss: Check out The Blow, The Slip, M.I.A. and Two Gallants.

Great Moments From The Past: Mountain Goats, Spoon, Liars, Devandra Banhart, The Walkmen, The Walkmen and Man Man (awesome), Destroyer.
