Awesome Japanese Spa Prank

Sunday 4 November 2007 @ 5:39 pm

Japanese TV pranks are the best. They have no limits as to how far they would go. This spa prank is so embarrassing. They launch naked people who want to relax in nice hot spa after a long day at the mountains right off to slide down the snowy hill in the nude.

Nice ownage and very funny. Japanese are some crazy folks. Their pranks are so crazy it’s pretty much impossible to execute them in North America. Thank God for Japan, where people are not as sue happy and have a sense of humor.

Anyway, i laughed my ass off, hope you enjoy the madness too

Trent Reznor (NIN): ‘I Would Like People To Support Artists’

Saturday 3 November 2007 @ 6:33 pm

Nine Inch Nails (NIN) founder and frontman Trent Reznor has spoken to CNet about the future of his own work and the way that music will be distributed to consumers in the future. Trent Reznor recently parted with Interscope Records after fulfilling his contract and is also issuing a new album by friend Saul Williams through his own imprint as a digital release. Trent Reznor discussed his rationale behind all this, explaining, “Personally, I would like people to support artists. After all, we as artists dedicate our lives to producing the best music we can…should I be angry at the audience that wants to hear music so much, an audience that is so passionate about hearing it they go online to get it two weeks before the music debuts? No, I want them to be that way.”

Trent Reznor acknowledges basing the release of Williams’record, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of N***y Tardust, on Radiohead’s recent online debut of its new effort, In Rainbows. Trent Reznor told CNet that he thought Radiohead’s idea was an “exciting way to sell a record,” adding, “I think there were some serious flaws with how they executed but it was a good idea.”

Trent Reznor admitted that he can’t predict the future of music distribution, saying, “I don’t know what model is going to work. I do know relationships between music labels and artists like myself aren’t going well…Their treatment of artists has less sympathy and it’s more like ‘What can we get out of you?’ My only concern has always been that my audience is treated fairly.”

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of N***y Tardust became available for download on Thursday (November 1st) n***ytardust.com.

Trent Reznor is also working on a follow-up to the latest Nine Inch Nails album, Year Zero.

Ozzy Osbourne – Sales of Black Rain Album Are Suffering Terribly for Downloading

Saturday 3 November 2007 @ 12:57 am

Ozzy Osbourne told Australia’s Herald Sun that sales of his latest album, Black Rain, are “suffering terribly” as a result of illegal downloading. Ozzy Osbourne explained, “I’ve been suffering terribly from people downloading it. If they don’t find something to stop it, people won’t be able to make records. There won’t be any new bands. How are they going to survive? I’m an old-timer, I’ve been doing it 40 years now, but new bands are going to suffer. It’s ridiculous, you could be doing it for nothing.”

Ozzy Osbourne added that he’s been forced to tour more in order to make up for lost income from CD sales, saying, “I’ve never done in a long time as many live shows as I’m doing now. This year I’ve done 90 shows. I mean, I ain’t getting any younger.”

Nevertheless, Ozzy Osbourne denied in a recent call with reporters the charge by his wife and manager Sharon’s brother that his sister was working Ozzy too hard: “My wife does not get involved with telling me about working. I tried retirement, it sucked. If I don’t want to do anything, my wife can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do.”

Ozzy Osbourne is currently on a headlining arena tour of the U.S. with special guest Rob Zombie. The trek pulls into Des Moines, Iowa on Friday night (November 2nd).
