As many of us who have seen the pod of Santogold featuring Artist/DJ Diplo on Current TV or the website, we know she knows how to get down. Innovative, provocative, and truly unique, Santogold is one of the biggest artists to emerge in recent times. It s not too often that artists surrounded by big hype can live up to the expectations. In the case of Santogold aka Santi White, this couldn t be more true. Her music delves effortlessly into dub, hip hop and soul whilst still paying homage to her punk-rock roots. The impressive result is a kaleidoscope of organic and synthetic sounds held together by her attitude-filled performance. Sydney Festival Background: For three weeks each January the Festival offers a rich program of around 80 events involving upwards of 500 artists from Australia and abroad covering dance, theatre, music, visual arts, cross media and forums. The first Festival took place in 1977 and it has since grown to become one of Australia's largest annual cultural celebrations with an international reputation for modern, popular and intelligent programming. In many ways it is probably still best understood as a celebration of Sydney and its style and energy reflect the confidence, diversity and vigour of one of the world's most beautiful cities. Santogold, along with other artists, was featured on Festival First Night during the Sydney Festival 2009. Festival First Night returned for its second year on January 10, 2009 with an epic, outdoor celebration to mark the opening of the 2009 Festival. Not to mention this was an opportunity to catch some of the biggest names in the Festival for F-R-E-E. With the streets again cleared of cars, over 600 major local and international musicians, dancers and artists from around the globe exploded onto open-air stages across the CBD. The video is a short photo animation from Santogold's performance on January 10th, 2009 at the Sydney Festival in Australia. For more information on Santogold perfo

P i t c h a n d i k u l a m F o r e s t http://www.pitchandikulamforest.org/ Pitchandikulam Forest is a 63-acre patch of land on the outskirts of Auroville, India. Founded in 1973, Pitchandikulams mission was, and continues to be, the revival of Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest that are still in existence. Throughout the centuries the TDEF has been almost completely wiped out by the many civilizations that have occupied the area. Today no more than 500 acres of undisturbed TDEF remains. Today Pitchandikulam Forest is an environmental education facility for the local community with a focus on the teaching of conservation, identification and use of indigenous medicinal plants. They have children s learning programs visit the forest and educational walks where information is displayed artistically on slates of stone painted by artists. Pitchandikulam also has many outreach projects up and down the east coast of India, within the Kaliveli Bioregion. They have planted gardens and built environmental education centers at some of the poorest schools in the area

Hailing from a long line of Hollywood studios calculated attempts to win an Oscar by producing melodramatic adaptation of what is essentially an E! True Hollywood Story (Ray, Walk The Line, Dreamgirls, etc.), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is poised to bring home a whole lot of statues at next year s Academy Awards, because this biographical masterpiece has it all: the troubled slack-jawed childhood, the inability to cope with newfound fame, the rocky love story, a screenplay by Judd Apatow (a man who actually eats, breathes and poops hilarious comedy), John C. Reilly in the starring role he s deserved for about a decade, filmed proof that Tim Meadows is still alive, and Paul Rudd playing John f*cking Lennon. I can t remember the last time I was so horny to see a movie. (via Goldenfiddle)

Oh wait. Old Spice didn t really trade Isaiah Mustafa for Fabio after all. Thanks goodness, since Fabio although he seems like a very nice man (how would we know?) is but a mere animal cracker compared to Mustafa s rich, dark chocolate swirls (#thatsracist). They waged a good war, these two, in the commendably absurd Mano E Mano ad campaign, which apparently elicited over 100 YouTube videos?!?! According to AdFreak: We now learn that Fabio saw Isaiah as the current incarnation of his former self the most beloved spokesman on TV which is why he challenged him in the first place. I mean, whatever. It s all make-believe. Because at the end of the day, are you gonna go with the guy who got hit in the face with a goose and sounds like a dumb Arnold Schwarzenegger, or the reeeeeeeeally handsome guy in a towel that is just begging to be flagged? Yeah, you stick with the original. If it ain t broke, then it s probably really f ing hot. [via AdFreak]

In the days following Gary Busey s now legendary performance art displays before and after last weekend s Academy Awards, a growing number of people in the media and online have voiced their concerns over the propriety of his behavior. As you will remember, during the E! pre-show red carpet telecast, Busey accosted Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner (to whom he may have said something about neck-biting or blood-drinking or whatever), then continued to rant and rave the Gospel of Gary into a stunned Ryan Seacrest s microphone (though he later offered a rambling and somewhat terrifying apology), before finally wandering off in hopes of finding Philip Seymour Hoffman and devouring his flesh. And now we find the video above, in which Busey is confronted with an 11 year-old teen reporter named Grace who wants to ask him about troubled starlets for her celebrity website StarzLife.com. Busey repeatedly claims to not understand what she s talking about, then in a rare moment of clarity calls Paris Hilton a disgraceful liar, and just generally behaves in his usual surly Vietman vet on acid demeanor. People are already up in arms about this clip, saying Busey is being abusive (or in Internet cleverspeak, A Busey ) to the girl, but I think those people are forgetting a few very important points. 1) 11 year-old girls shouldn t have celebrity websites to begin with - the fact that she does is crazier than anything Gary Busey has ever said or done. 2) He s GARY F*CKING BUSEY. Has the whole world somehow managed to miss the fact that The Buse has been certifiably bonkers since, I don t know, he delivered all his lines to Steven Seagal s ponytail back in early-90 s action classic Under Siege? For years he s been a walking carnival of violent lunatic babble, and is probably a danger to himself and to others, but that s why we love him. That s why he s beautiful. So everyone really needs to cool out, take a big sip of chillax, and just let The Buse be loose. 3) The las

Well, it looks like Mommy has been drinking again, and look who the slut the dragged in this time! Yes, Captain Saggy Balls and his silly McIndieRockBand Whitestarr (they sound like White Snake, covered by Stellastarr*) are back with yet even more off-putting footage to promote their new Vh1 show The Rock Life, this time just hanging out in Hollywood, living that crazy LA lifestyle enjoyed by the children of the rich and famous, still trying to convince us just how f*cking rock and roll they are (seriously, they have, like, every Guns N Roses album ever!). Tune in each week to witness all the hijinx and hilarity as they try getting their art out there the one way they know how: by doing their best impressions of sh*t they learned from E! s True Hollywood Story on Poison in a moronic f*cking reality show watched primarily by people who hate them. VhWonderful!
