A King Khan & the Shrines show is a sensory blitzkrieg , a multi-layered explosion of R&B infused insanity and if you aren't privy to the party yet, peep this throw'd-back video for "Land of the Freak" off their album, What Is?! (vice) ...
King Khan and the Shines play an updated brand of soul-powered rock 'n soul reminiscent of MC5, or more recently the Dirtbombs, but with a German horn section that could keep Ike Turner guessing. Soul music for the modern era maniac - a King singing about the fringe benefits of a Sex n Drugs lifestyle, Welfare Bread, and of course, Trannies - seriously, who doesn't wanna hear a call and response song about an incident with a Tranny - something Khan himself was relatively proud of when i asked him about the song after a show at South-by.
King Khan will be making his rounds this summer along with his band of radical (bundt party) Germans and their glitter-girl cheerleader who shakes her zoftig stuff all show long. Seriously, if you have a chance to see them live DO IT - you will not be disappointed...

Galifianakis vs Portman/ Between 2 Ferns :: Funny Yes, Die Yes...
I have always loved Galifiakinakis's dead-pan idiocy, and his series of absurd (and often Obscene) Between Two Ferns interview's are a fine form of of viral entertainment. He really puts the screws to Natalie Portman, as she seems genuinely stunned. Make sure you wait for his closing question, I assume that's the point at which a handler of some affect intervened and pulled Portman away from her unbeknownst stupor. Or, the whole thing is a set-up, but somehow that doesn't seem in keeping with Zach G's comedy stee. Well played Sir...

Poverty Funds Piracy in Somalia, Just ask K'naan
K'naan's star has been shining for a while, and with all the press he's been getting its likely we will see him become a more compelling version of a Wyclef character, outspoken but down to earth. He never signed-up to be the only public representative of his native Somalia (and more recently Toronto), but really who would want such a job. But he definitely sheds some light on how desperation andf hunger in a lawless land coule easily lead to the outbreak of piracy in the Somali region - check out this K'naan "Somalia" video...
good looks to Dutty Artz, where i pinched this vid - and to K'naan, the only music crusader i can sign-off on, the dude is deep, but not a preacher. Take notes all you backpacking chatter-boxes with too many causes.
What you know about that Brown Brown?
