Real music rules!

My music has always been infused with the blues …so when Wim Wenders called and asked me to sing a Skip James song for his wonderful movie “SOUL OF A MAN”,I jumped at the chance. Reggae, Rock, Soul, R & B, Folk, Jazz are a few of the styles I love, but the blues is in everything, and you can’t run away from the blues!

“Soul of a Man” written and directed by Wim Wenders.

Director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social Club; Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas ) explores the lives of his favorite blues artists — Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, and J. B. Lenoir — in a film that is part history and part personal pilgrimage. The film tells the story of these artists’ lives in music through a fictional film-within-a-film, rare archival footage, and covers of their songs by contemporary musicians, including Garland Jeffreys, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Lou Reed, Eagle Eye Cherry, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cassandra Wilson, Los Lobos, and others. Says Wenders: “These songs meant the world to me. I felt there was more truth in them than in any book I had read about America, or in any movie I had ever seen. I’ve tried to describe, more like a poem than in a ‘documentary,’ what moved me so much in their songs and voices.

Word leaked earlier that Larry Flynt’s Hustler Video is making an X-rated movie inspired by Republican Vice President nominee Sarah Palin. Now, TheFrisky.com has the exclusive details! Find out all the juicy details after the jump.

The title of the pornographic homage to the governor of Alaska is “Nailin’ Paylin.” Contrary to earlier reports, the movie is in pre-production. One Jerry T. is set to direct, and porn star Lisa Ann will be taking on the role of Palin—er, “Paylin.” According to HUSTLER, “Nailin’ Paylin” is a “naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor,” featuring “girl-on-girl lovin’,” “nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door,” and a younger Palin getting seduced by her creationist college professor who “will explain a ‘big bang’ theory even she can’t deny!” Also included: a three-way hardcore sex scene starring porn stars as Palin/Paylin, Hillary Clinton, and Condoleezza Rice. Of course, no political porn satire would be complete without a salute to Fox News—a Bill O’Reilly stand-in will announce the movie’s multiple sex scandals as they unfold. “Nailin’ Paylin” will be released just in time for the November elections, natch.

McCainâ��s Economic Plan For Nation: ‘Everyone Marry A Beer Heiress’

A mysterious blonde paid a visit to a petrol station shop in the small eastern German town of Doemitz on Sunday -wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet.

The tall, slender woman strolled into the shop in the town of Doemitz on the warm afternoon and bought cigarettes, petrol station employee Ines Swoboda told Reuters on Monday.

“I wasn’t surprised because she’s come in naked before — she’s a very nice woman,” Swoboda said, adding none of the other customers were bothered. The woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained.

A quick-witted customer did, however, snap pictures of the woman believed to be about 30 years old as she walked back to a waiting Ferrari and climbed into the passenger seat. Several of those photos appeared in the German media on Monday.

Miss Power Of The P is back!!

What else can you say… Banksy is ill.

Still on his US tour, Banksy’s latest comes from the streets of NYC. This colossal 3 story piece is super dope, as the rats proclaim that they too love NY. Or maybe Banksy is calling himself a rat, as he draws another rat… i dunno, but its still cool to see. Hopefully they wont start defacing it like some residents in New Orleans have done recently.

Saw it first at Formatmag.

Lots of celebs come out trying to encourage people to vote, it’s pretty funny. I just wish they also told people who to vote for…

The American political system is such a sham I’m always interested in things that make light of it. This political dance off featuring the Obamanators against the McCaniacs is pretty funny and some great dancing. Feel bad for the crew that had to act like they were for McCain tho..

An 18-year-old man is accused of plotting his mother’s death with three others so he could have access to her money to buy his girlfriend breast implants.

According to the Denver Channel, Nikita Weis hired two young men for a total of $7,000 to kill his mother and dispose of her body. However, when the victim, Hyun Weis, was attacked Thursday in her home with a small souvenir baseball bat, she was able to escape after using the panic button on her key chain to set off her car alarm, causing the assailant to flee.

Nikita, the girlfriend, Sophia Nicole Alsept, 21, and the two men he allegedly hired — 18-year-old Juan Antonio Velez Gonzalez and 19-year-old Brandon Michael Soroka are all charged with suspicion of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

The Denver Channel reported that Nikita and Alsept admitted to plotting the attack after initially saying they were held at gunpoint by the intruder. According to Fountain Deputy Police Chief Mike Barnett, Nikita planned to sell his mother’s car and empty her bank accounts to pay for Alsept’s breast implants.

This is all time!!

Everyone be scared, encourage anyone you can to vote for Obama. This yamp is one heartbeat away from being the president, unfucking believable.

Sarah Silverman always walks that fine line between edgy and offensive. This Barack Obama message is sure to stir up some controversary.
