MySpace.com has exploded over the past few years to become the #7 most visited site on the Internet according to Alexa.org (C&V is #9 +/- 56,000,000). For those of you all not in the know, MySpace is a venue for people to create profiles about themselves, find virtual “friendsÂ,” trade comments and have annoying songs like Aqua’s “Barbie Girl“Â and Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping“Â play while profiles load. But the most intriguing feature and soon to be a social class above upper-middle is the “Top 8.”The Top 8 consists of user-picked friends chosen from their pool of pals to appear directly on their profile (we only have 4 friends and can’t use this feature). It’s an interesting way to flaunt the people you relate to or like the most while excluding those proverbially deemed as tools or inbreeds. With that, C&V thought it would be fascinating to peer into celebrity MySpace profiles and view their “Top 8’s.”Â You’ll be shocked to learn who the upper echelon of today’s society considers worthy of their elite eight seats. Take a look.

Songs of the Week: 17 April 2006 by candv

Dan:
Muddy Waters - “Mannish Boy (Electric Mud Version)”

This is one of my favorite Muddy Waters tracks. Most blues purists hate it. I call it some shake your ass blues that are very near perfection.

Amit:
Soulive - “Golden Lady”
Soulive, slated to be at Bonnaroo Music Festival, is an upbeat jazz trio with a vibrant sound aside from all that cheese filled modern jazz out there. Take a listen to their rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Golden Lady“.

Dakota’s Songs of the Week: 11 April 2006 by candv

Dan:
Rufus Wainwright - “Across the Universe”
From the movie that made Dakota Fanning a household name, I am Sam. Here’s Rufus Wainwright’s cover of the Beatles’ classic, “Across the Universe.” One of my favorites from the soundtrack.

Amit:
Bethany Dillon & John Debney - “Dreamer (Bethany Dillon) Film Mix”
When I thought Dakota Fanning, I thought horses. Then I thought of Bethany Dillon serenading me with her luscious voice as she sang her chart topping song from the Dreamer soundtrack. Like Bethany and Dakota, I was a dreamer. I dreamt of day when horses were no longer used in Elmer’s glue and sparkling grape Jell-O, but rather as props in what should have been more Dakota movies. Due to the loss of an American icon, that day will never come. So, I listen to this track and continue to dream on.
