The Chuckness

I have a feeling that Turntable.fm is the beginning of a revolution. I just spent the last 3 hours with one other buddy, and 3 random dudes I’ve never met, DJ’ing for a packed house of like…2 people. Straight up the most fun I’ve had online in years. I’m either a complete and utter tool, or this site is onto something. I’m siding with the latter, as everyone else I know who’s seen it has fallen in love. I was introduced to it about 2 weeks ago, and I was laughing hysterically at the concept before I even got started. … Continue reading →

I can’t wait for this last season of Entourage to start up again.  Although the show seems to get repetitive from time to time, I find myself on a couch every Sunday somewhere watching and re-watching the new episodes.  Either way it will be interesting to see where this last season goes; let me know your thoughts. Shout out to The Weeknd on the soundtrack. Tweet

No surprise here — we live in the day and age when no album release dates can be taken seriously, and the trend continues with Wayne’s Tha Carter IV. No more June 21st release date. Look for it to hit shelves August 29th now, with a new single being released July 4th. Maybe. Tweet

I need some help in understanding one of music’s biggest conundrums, and I need help immediately. The subject is Lil B. Lil B (also known as “Based God” — please read the urban dictionary definition here) is a 23 year old rapper coming out of Berkely, CA, and he has an unbelievable amount of hype surrounding his every move. He was ranked one of XXL Magazine’s Top 10 Freshmen of the Year, has a bunch of YouTube videos well over a million views, and was even given a shout out at the gathering outside of the White House after Bin Laden … Continue reading →

Wait, what? Yes you read that correctly. Ellie Goulding has been hand-selected by Prince William & Kate to perform at the Royal Wedding reception. Which brings me to my next point. Myself, shown above wearing a giddy grin with Ellie, can now be considered one degree of separation from the Queen. Right? I don’t see how that could be argued — Ellie will meet the Queen, I met Ellie…I am one degree of separation from pure royalty. Then you could make the argument that The Chuckness is THE royal music blog. The official blog of royalty. Yep, that’s the new … Continue reading →

Lollapalooza’s 2011 lineup was just announced today, and it’s got pretty much everything. August 5th – 7th…book your flights. You’ll see me there. Read on to see the full lineup. Tweet

If you haven’t used a pair of Dr. Dre’s Beats By Dre headphones, you are seriously missing out. I feel like I’m a personal spokesman for the brand, but I can’t help it. I recently heard Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine were partnering with Chrysler to put the sound technology throughout Chrysler car speakers. Looks like I’m getting some form of a Chrysler in the near future. While this is cool, it seems as if Dre is more focused on expanding his Beats brand then actually putting out what we all want (not to discredit the headphones), and that is … Continue reading →

Old news as of yesterday. Above is the official, goofy-ass artwork for Wayne’s Tha Carter IV; which has been pushed back to mid-June. Is this gonna outsell Tha Carter III? I doubt it…but we shall see. Tweet

This was inevitable. Tweet

JibberJabber. Volume 1. Here we go. Yesterday morning. 8:35 a.m. I walk out my door to a windy February day; the temperature sitting at a brisk 28 degrees. I walk up the steps (I reside in an underground mancave) and head out down to the street to catch the bus to work. I do this five days a week, and it’s the same, enthralling sequence of time everyday. Wake up, shower, brush teeth, go outside, listen to iPod, walk down the street, take the bus approximately 11 minutes to the office. On Tuesday morning though, the gods tossed me a … Continue reading →
