An 18 year-old student from Leeds, Nick Haley, put together a 30-second spot for the new iPod Touch using images and footage available from apple.com and CSS’s Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex, and posted it on YouTube (below). Apple took notice, and contacted him about coming to Los Angels to re-make his commercial in full broadcast-ready format. Haley’s new commercial will run during the World Series.

Please bear with me as I try to get Wordpress Theme issues worked out- I don’t know why the previous theme kept dropping off, but I’m working on a new one now. Should be ready by the time I publish this week’s mixtape.
The first new track from Brand New since last year’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is called Fork & Knife. The single previously popped up in demo form several years ago, but was not officially released. This week, it was supposed to be available on iTunes, but instead seems to have been released on amazon.com instead.

Kid Rock, a.k.a. Robert James Ritchie, was arrested early Sunday morning after a fight broke out between a Waffle House patron, Ritchie, and memeber’s of Kid’s entourage. AJC.com reports:
Saturday night, he rocked a sold-out Tabernacle at a show supporting “Rock N Roll Jesus,” currently the No. 1 album in the country and the first chart-topper of his 17-year career.
Wait- Kid Rock has the #1 album in the country? That just makes me glad I don’t listen to radio anymore.
A few hours later, Kid Rock, who calls his genre-bending blend of country, rap and southern rock “hick-Hop,” was arrested after police said he and his entourage beat up a customer — at a local Waffle House.
Ugh, ‘hick-hop’, really? That’s a genre we can all do without. The rest of the story goes: Ritchie and his crew went to Waffle House on Buford Highway in the wee hours Sunday, where a male patron recognized one of the females in Kid’s crew, and the head hick decided to throw down on the guy, call him. After that, five other guys in the entourage decided to go ahead and get scattered, smothered, or covered with him. After the fight, they apparently though it would be a good idea to leave, so they got on the bus and drove away- only to be pulled over moments later and booked for battery.
The “other guy” threw a punch through a window, costing more that $500, so he got booked for felony criminal damage to property, and will have a world of hurt waiting for him on that.
