I wonder how many people google "free music" every day?  I wonder what small fraction of them will wander here to this humble site?

Coldplay has jumped on the giving stuff away train and decided to release the first single from their  "Viva la Viva" (roughly translated: Long Live Rockworms.com), for FREE via there official website starting tomorrow.  The track will only be up for a week, then you'll have to pay for *cough-steal-cough* it.  The message on their site reads:

"From tuesday, 12:15pm UK time for one week only you can come here to download of a new song called Violet 4:11"

Also, in the spirit of free stuff, they're going to play a free show at Madison Square Garden in NYC on June 23rd. Let's hope we don't have another Gimme Shelter on our hands.  Better off just not inviting Hells Angels this time.

This has been a question that I have been debating with friends the last few months. I seem to be in the minority in my opinion, but I have grown up around alot of English people and that may have scewed my opinion.  

Either way, I think that at the end of the day, yes, Amy Winehouse is overall an attractive person. Yep. I do. When she is glammed-up and sedated, I have no real issues with her. 

She is in no way the best of the best. Not an "Americas Next Top Model" -beauty queen type. But she has her charm. She's not Shakira, but certainly not dog-ass, Sarah Jessica Parker or Camilla Parker Bowles bad. 

But every time I begin to make successful strides in convincing others to give her a chance, the dumb English tart has to come out and take a freakin' cracked-out pic like this and ruin all my work. 

Dangit Amy! Can't you see I'm fighting for you?!? For US!!!!

You are starting to look like a Tracy Ullman-version of yourself!!! Now that ain't right.

She looks like that freaky rat-monster-thing from Neverending Story. Or even worse...

As I am sure you have read, I really, really like R.E.M.’s new CD Accelerate. If you didn’t know that, you obviously didn’t read my review and that hurts my heart. You may feel free to stop reading “Musings” now, because we are no longer friends. However, if you would be interested in finding your way back into my heart, go read it. It’s kinda long.

I put an A.P.B. out to a bunch of my more creative/humorous/bored friends a few weeks back looking for help in naming my new short film/writing/stand-up/etc. company. Greg (who as you might know, I love) suggested “The Comedy Cozens.” While on the surface it may not seem like much, it holds a much deeper, far more important meaning to me. Now when I go out to perform on the road, I can ask for more up front because the name is plural sounding! They think there is more than just me coming! It’s like being called “Adam and the Gang”! I can charge for more! More moolah! Well, it makes sense to me.

I haven’t watched an American Idol this season. Not one glorious episode. I did however catch the clip of that kid on YouTube who chose to cover Chris Cornell’s cover of Michael Jackson’s song “Billie Jean” to what I deemed as marvelous results. I have heard all three versions and if properly credited like they claim, I think that it is great. Does that make me a bad person? I’m starting to think that it does!

I am still “officially” jobless. I say “officially” because I credit Rockworms as a paying gig, even though I have yet to see a single cheque and Craig says that we won’t be profitable for at least another year. But, it’s going on the resume anyway. Anyone need a writer’s assistant?

                          "Representing the class of 2005, Eli Porter."                           

That will someday soon, be enough to elicit a response of uncontrollable laughter from anyone at all close to the online community. About two weeks ago, I was reading some New York comedy blogs and I started to notice this small, but incredibly hilarious video was starting to make the rounds. Soon FunnyOrDie picked it up. Then FARK ran with it. Yesterday it made the front page of the Happy Good-Times Joy Fun Blog. So before it becomes "Chocolate Rain 2.0", we here at Rockworms need to climb aboard and embrace the awesomeness of "The Worst Rap Battle of All Time."

This video seriously has it ALL! Bad freestyle rap, terrible usage of slang, demeanment of the crippled, weirdly homo-erotic touching by the judges, gut-laughter inducing awkwardness and one of the worst attempts at Rosie O'Donnell dissing ever recorded. "Envy" sure picked a great week to suck. 

And as it is being said on some other blogs, at the end of the clip, please notice how "our boy Marv-O" pronounces that this battled HAD to be better than last week! I MUST SEE THE PREVIOUS WEEK!!!
