Remember how you couldn’t wait to see Soul Train and the Soul Train Line? Soul Train opened the doors for a lot of music artist and let’s not forget it was the #1 rated TV show during the 80’s. Now, it’s 2009 and this year actors, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard will co-host the “Centric Presents: 2009 Soul Train Awards” in Atlanta, GA. The prize presentation is scheduled to be taped at the Georgia World Congress Center on November 3, 2009. (Scheduled to be televised Nov. 29, 2009 on both CENTRIC and BET networks).
This year’s honorees include Chaka Khan, Charlie Wilson, L.A. Reid and Kenny “Baby Face” Edmonds. Soul music’s legacy and the numerous artists who paved the way for today’s top performers will also be celebrated.
Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Papa Roach have partnered with WHY (World Hunger Year) to continue their mission to raise funds and awareness for organizations who are working towards finding answers to hunger, poverty and homelessness. Led by frontman Jacoby Shaddix, who revealed earlier this year that he was homeless as a child, the band are on the road supporting their hit CD, Metamorphosis, which addresses many of the current social and economic themes prevalent today. Papa Roach join Bruce Springsteen, Michael McDonald, Jackson Browne, Crosby Stills & Nash, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Joss Stone, Darryl McDaniels, O.A.R, and many others as part of WHY’s Artists Against Hunger & Poverty program.
Launching on the current co-headlining tour with JET beginning with the November 7th show in Youngstown, OH at the Wedgewood Entertainment Center, Papa Roach’s partnership with WHY will feature an auction in their tour markets where fans bid on an exclusive experience including an interview with the band, side-stage tickets, soundcheck access and much more – with all proceeds going to WHY. To bid now and for more information, please visit www.paparoach.com. In addition to raising money, Papa Roach will build awareness from the stage and visit local food banks and homeless shelters to lend their support. Shaddix explains, “We’re proud to work with World Hunger Year to help those in need. We’ve been fortunate enough to have a voice and we want to use it by giving back. We encourage everyone to help out their local communities.”
Hillary Zuckerberg of WHY (World Hunger Year) adds, “WHY is honored to welcome Papa Roach to our Artists Against Hunger & Poverty program. As many as 3.5 million people experience homelessness in a given year and over 36 million people are living in hunger and poverty in the United States. These issues are clearly a priority for the band and Jacoby who have personally taken on the fight to end hunger, poverty and homelessness across the country by engaging their fans in the cause. We are excited to have them as an ally in this mission.”
Known for their electrifying live shows, Papa Roach have been touring nonstop behind their new album and fifth studio recording, Metamorphosis, which debuted at #8 on The Billboard 200 chart earlier this year. Metamorphosis has already spawned the #1 rock hit “Lifeline” and “I Almost Told You That I Loved You,” with “Had Enough” impacting radio now. “Had Enough” illustrates the traumatic impact of the war in Iraq, the foreclosure epidemic and the overall economic and social downturn affecting so many - themes the band identified almost 2 years ago when writing the album.

You need that raw sh*t? Well, I do. Big Twins dropped a real underground & raw album entitled “The Project Kid” which features Krondon, Un Pacino, Alchemist and Prodigy. You probably will find it annoying to constantly listen to Big Twins’ monotonous voice. Please take a minute to get used to his dark & raw voice and get hooked on it.
Tight singles are “Smart Niggaz”, “When I Walk Away” and “Number One”. Classic, and most raw, track is “How I Feel” featuring Un Pacino and Boogz. It’s a real ‘throw your middle finger in the air’-vibe. Don’t sleep!
Los Lobos Goes Disney, the new album from Grammy-winning rock legends Los Lobos, is available everywhere starting today. The record features 13 classic Disney songs and is a mix of well-loved movie tunes and theme-park gems, done over in the inimitable Los Lobos style of rock n’ roll with a Latin twist.
Los Lobos Goes Disney is an album that will appeal to every generation of Disney fans (and to all music fans looking for something different) with tracks from The Jungle Book, Toy Story, Robin Hood, The Haunted Mansion, and more.

Ever watched the TV-show “Supernatural”? It’s a horror/sci-fi show running in its fifth season. At first I wasnot impressed by the show (first season) but a year ago I watched a couple and became enthousiastic.
It wasnot until a few months ago that I became a ‘fan’. I have to say that it’s a real guy-show. No chick-flick, guy-humor, pretty ladies and action with some horror. So pretty awesome.
In the tv-show the guys drive a Chevrolet Impala 1967. A real American car which does look pretty good. To be honest I prefer other (read: European) cars but old American cars look a whole lot better then current ones. The cars have more attitude, rougher, and a bit bulkier = American car.
Take a look at the Impala ‘67:
And the current version, Impala 2009:
