It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere - Raconteurs Edition

Since it's Friday, and the end of the workweek for most people, we think that you should be provided with a post that takes the edge off so to speak. Because it's going to be random and hopefully humorous, that means that it won't always be sports related. It will also pop up at any time on Friday.

The new Raconteurs is pretty good, and it's been in heavy rotation on my iPod. So, I figured that they should get their own "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere" post since some of the blogs posted this week were done with them rocking out in the background.

First, we get the live version of "Consolers of the Lonely". My favorite track off of the new cd:



Sweet guitar riffs + kickass drum work + well flowing lyrics = Awesome!

But if you really want to kickstart your weekend might I suggest their cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy"? You'll be smashing the phone, and hurling your Rolodex in no time!



Happy Friday!

It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere - Eagles of Death Metal Edition

Since it's Friday, and the end of the workweek for most people, we think that you should be provided with a post that takes the edge off so to speak. Because it's going to be random and hopefully humorous, that means that it won't always be sports related. It will also pop up at any time on Friday.

Hot on the heels of last week's mustache driven "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere" post, comes this week's post about the kickass band the "Eagles of Death Metal". Apparently, I resemble Jesse Hughes, though I definitely need a gold cape and a boombox for the full effect. In any case, check 'em out. It will make your Friday that much more enjoyable.



Happy Friday!

Knievel And Kanye Settle Their Differences

Just about one year ago, Evil Knievel sued Kanye West over his music video for the song "Touch The Sky". At that time Knievel was quoted as saying

"the video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public".

But as we all know, time heals a lot of things, and apparently so do meetings in Clearwater, FL condos.

Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel and rap star Kanye West have worked out their legal differences over images in a 2006 music video.

Knievel said that he and West met one-on-one at his Clearwater, Fla., condominium recently. They settled a federal lawsuit over the use of Knievel's trademarked image in a popular West music video.

There's no word on what type of settlement was reached, though Knievel did say that Kanye was a "wonderful guy and quite a gentleman". Quite a change from his previous statements.
