Looks like ESPN has taken their relationship with Lil Wayne to the next level. If you remember, rapper Lil Wayne has been featured on shows like First Take and Around the Horn in recent months. The response from his appearance on ESPN was good enough for ESPN to offer him his own sports blog on their site. Lil Wayne returned the favor by getting an ESPN tattoo on his arm (see above).
Sooooooooo.....I was going to make a post where I aggregated all the various videos of the performances from last nights' Grammy Awards. The key word being WAS, then I realized that CBS.com is still dumb and doesn't upload or host any content so I'd have to get all the videos from YouTube. I'm sure we are all familiar with the problem of this; the videos will be taken down in a few days once CBS gets around to making a copyright claim (CBS you could avoid all this if you would just host the videos on Hulu or CBS.com).
Anyway, I found a page on Mahalo that does a way better job than I could ever do:
In keeping with the theme I started this morning of posting catchy songs, here's some song that's on the radio every single time I turn it on. No idea who this Lady GaGa girl is but it is good to see that this Colby O'Donis character looks much less like a guido in this video. Not that being jacked and tan is a bad thing.
Lady Gaga featuring Colby O'Donis - Just Dance
Well this song is catchy as hell and has been stuck in my head for the last day so I will now attempt to ruin your next 24 hours and get it stuck in your head. Take that!
Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne - Let It Rock
I guess this could be a music video, but doesn't it just make you pissed at the rich bankers. Thanks for screwing the kids out of their "Nintendo toys under the tree." You bastards.
Happy Non-Denominational Holidays to everyone. Your New Year's resolution should be to post this URL everywhere and spread CultureCatalyst to the far reaches of the internet....Ready? GO!
The tape has been passed around for years, the singer is unknown. From the web here is a description "If you need a good laugh, and I mean 'can't breathe, stomach hurts' belly laugh, listen to the worst rendition of Oh Holy Night ever. Warning, put all drinks down and take a few deep breaths first so you don't suffocate from laughter. It starts out as sounding like a merely poor rendition of the song, but just wait."
It was a packed night of big time TV last night. The Indianapolis Colts beat the San Diego Chargers (GO Chargers GO) with a last second Adam Vinatieri field goal. The latest season of 24, 24:Redemption, had a 2 hour premiere (more to come later).
Well with all that said, the American Music Awards was also on.
Highlights include:
-Chris Brown takes home artist of the year
-Rihanna named favorite female artist in two categories
-Alicia Keys accepts the award for Pop/ Rock Album
-Kayne West named favorite male rap/hip-hop artist

"Hello YouTubes"But over the past 4 months or an undercurrent of controversy surrounding Jenkees has started to creep to the surface. It seems there are quite a few people who have a problem with Jenkees’ persona on YouTube. In fact, some of them think that Ronald Jenkees is a blatantly fake character, that was created with the sole intention of gaming the YouTube crowd.
This has led to lively discussions in forums, Fresh Peel comments, and in the YouTube comments section.
Out of all comments I’ve read in regards to Jenkees, very few criticize his music. The point of confrontation seems to always stem from differing opinions of just how authentic Ronald Jenkees is.
I’ve found there to be three very different opinions on Ronald’s authenticity:
1. Ronald Jenkees is an outright fake.
2. Ronald Jenkees is a talented musician that has created stage personality.
3. Ronald Jenkees is totally authentic. All the hats, funny voice, and stupid sayings are 100% Jenkees.
This again begs the question, what is the true definition of authenticity?
Is there no place in the conversation age for characters, fictional stories and stage names? Must everything be presented with a disclaimer in order to truly be authentic?
If that’s the case, transparency could make things pretty boring.

Check out these music videos from the band MGMT. They are a band from Brooklyn, New York and over the last couple years have been getting increasing publicity and notice, I bet you've even heard one of these songs before. They released their first major studio album Oracular Spectacular in October of last year. Enjoy, the videos are all pretty crazy.

This guy is incredible. Heard about him from Bill Simmons, sports writer on Espn.com. He creates magic with his piano, wrote the theme song for Simmons' podcast.
