Moby was supposed to usher in the future of talent driven pop and electronic music. Instead his career was riddled with a Gwen Stefani duet, tiffs with Eminem, and protests about Net Neutrality (nerd alert!). Now the cue ball MIDI-mixer plans on releasing a “Best Of” album called “Go - the Very Best of Moby.” The compilation will also include a new track with vocals of Debbie Harry, front woman of the 80’s band Blondie.
Unfortunately there’s a music video. Watch as 4 track suit-wearing dolts dance around the Big Apple in attempt to be ironic, sarcastic and funny all to the background music of Moby.

Twelve years after the VHS version of Nirvana’s concert film titled Live! Tonight! Sold Out! was released, the film will make its debut on DVD. The flick features footage from the revolutionary grunge band during their ‘91-’92 tour and includes songs “Nevermind,” “Breed,” “Drain You,” “Dive” and “Aneurysm.” Also, thanks to the power of computers, the footage has been restored, color corrected, and digitally remastered. The disc is also slated to include unnamed bonus features. Other songs on the DVD feature “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “About a Girl,” “Love Buzz,” “Negative Creep,” “Come As You Are,” “Territorial Pissings,” “Something in the Way,” “On a Plain,” “Lithium,” “Sliver,” and others. This release will make only the second time footage of Nirvana was put on DVD (the first was part of the “With the Lights Out” box set). Live! Tonight! Sold Out! will be in stores November 7th.

This is as close to any new Keane we’re going to get seeing that lead singer, Tom Chaplin, is in rehab. Luckily we have Lily Allen, a rising pop star from the U.K., to hold us over with “Everybody’s Changing” from Keane’s first release.

The nosy rag PEOPLE has a startling follow-up to our epic and prophetic piece on “American Idol” loser Elliot Yamin titled “Elliott ‘Ya mean I got no job?’ Yamin.” It seems after the jobless wash-up enjoyed a few hours of drinking away his woes at a local Richmond, VA bar, he went outside, started picking up rocks (we told you he was the mole man) and proceeded to throw them at a nearby road sign. It was in the midst of his stone chucking when Yamin’s “finger got caught on a rod holding down a rock” and his pinky finger snapped back and broke. Ouch. Luckily Yamin will be able to sign autographs for his mom since the redneck-inspired injury occurred on the hand he doesn’t write an “X” with (his left). Unfortunately, Elliot Yamin must wear a cast over the finger he used to do coke and grape-flavored fun dip with back in the glory days of season 5 in Hollywood. Life’s been rough Yammy. You’ve always been alphabetically and mentally at the bottom of every list. Now you’re back in the news and still out of a job. C&V feels for you. That’s why we uncovered a road sign you should throw rocks at. God speed and get well.
