A recent photo surfaced on the web which allegedly shows Miley Cyrus, the 16 year old music sensation behind Hannah Montana, performing fellatio on an unidentified man. If true this would prove that what goes in her mouth is actually worse than what comes out.

• David: She & Him need to come out Volume 2 already.


• Alex: No joke.


• David: They covered a Smiths song for Zooey's new movie, 500 Days of Summer. I don't know if you are into The Smiths or not. I never got the big deal, but a lot of people are in LOVE with them.


• Alex: Yeah, I've never really listened to them.


• David: They were always very "ENGLAND YEAH!" and I dunno, I just always thought fuck England.

Recently, musicians Joe Satriani, The Creaky Boards and Cat Stevens have accused British rock band Coldplay of plagirising elements of their songs.  We’ve compiled a list of other artists who have also expressed their feelings that Coldplay has lifted from their material as well.

1. The phrase ‘Rule The World’ used in ‘Viva la Vida’s lyrics was directly lifted from Tears for Fears’ ‘Everybody Wants to Rule The World.’

2. The idea of their song and image being used in an Apple iPod ad was clearly lifted from Feist’s song and image being in an Apple iPod ad.

3.  The usage of the phonetic sound “Ohhhhhh” as background vocals is strikingly similar to Prince’s orgasmic “Ohw!”s in ‘Kiss.’

4.  Pianos and stringed instruments make up the core melody of ‘Viva La Vida;’ however, Danny Harris’ 3rd grade Orchestra recital employed this concept/arrangement 6 years ago, with Mrs. Rowley leading on piano with Danny and his peers supporting on violins and violas.

5.  The band’s name “Coldplay” is a highly derivative of American ice cream parlor chain Coldstone Creamery.

6.  The idea of a cocky, self-absorbed, attention-starved lead singer is nothing new, Bono of U2 has been doing it for years before Coldplay came about.

1.  The Beatles

“Their early stuff was better.”

“Yeah, I saw them way back in ______, they were just starting out.  Now everyone’s into them.”

“I’m into a lot of post-_______ and _______-_______, a lot of bands you’ve probably never heard of.”

“[Legendary pioneer of a genre/style] is so overrated.”

“You listen to .mp3’s?  Jesus, how primitive.  Get on .FLAC/vinyl while I still have an ounce of respect for you.”

”________________ is so 2006.”

“[Genre]? That band is so NOT [genre] at all.  Have you even HEARD them?”

“Ugh, I’m so over ______________ ever since they were on Gossip Girl.”

“You like ____________, ___________ and ______________? Such mindlessly simple music.”

“No, you’re a hipster.”

“Oh, you’re into _________________ too?  Have you heard their [incredibly rare possibly non-existent bootleg/demo/alternate take]?  No?  I have like all that stuff.  It’s so good.  I’ll send it to you. [I won’t send it to you.]”

“I have like 86 gigs of music, but it’s not a big deal or anything.”

“Ugh, I hate the Beatles.”

So many years ago Neil Young stated, in the iconic song ‘Hey Hey, My My’ that it is “better to burn out than to fade away”.

With the release of his new album ‘Fork In The Road’, we learn that he wasn’t kidding.
