The Limp Bizkit frontman / budding film director / Twitterholic turns 39 today. Yes, that’s right—only one more year until the poster child for late-20th-century rage hits the big four-oh! Watch as much of this (slightly NSFW) clip of Limp Bizkit’s Woodstock 1999 performance of “Break Stuff” as you can, and take a moment to reflect on how far Fred, me, you, and everyone have come over the past 10 years. I mean, at least the vague sense of embarrassment that the lyric “it’s all about the he said she said bullshit” inspires is felt by more people now than it was then, right?

mtvhitsCome with me as I chronicle an entire hour of MTV Hits, MTV’s digltal-cable channel that deigns to show pop videos during non-early-morning daylight hours. Why? Well, why not, really. Come join me in the upper reaches of the Optimum band after the jump. More »

fred-durst-limp-bizkitAre you feeling sad that there won’t be a Woodstock ’99 tribute concert? Well, have no fear: Limp Bizkit is heading back in the studio in the next few weeks! I guess the country’s mood got just angry enough for the Red Baseball Cap Of Disadvantaged White Male Rage to be brandished again—and now there are even strange dinosaur-related metaphors involved!

wt4a3bbf083d10cChinese President Hu Jintao thought he was going to Zagreb for a little bit of back-slapping action with his buddies who rule Croatia. Little did he know that thanks to his travel planners picking the hotel that they did, he might have to interrupt his diplomatic plans for some serious (and possibly drunken) Gears Of War 2… or at least a little “Nookie.” [China View / Twitter] More »

Aside from holidays where major news events happen, thus disrupting one’s chance to actually get away from her laptop and have a life, April Fool’s Day is probably the most annoying 24-hour stretch on the professional blogger’s calendar, thanks to everyone on the Internet thinking they’re funny. Despite that not really being true! After the jump, a running tally of pranks from various music-related entities; it’ll be updated throughout the day, because Lord knows I need to do something with all the “comedy” clogging up my RSS reader right now.

The Bizkit’s Back: Fred And Wes Kiss And Make Up

Limp Bizkit—the nu-metal poster children who, with the help of a George Michael song and a red baseball cap, captured the rage of a particular subset of baseball-cap-and-baggy-pant-wearing young men in the late ’90s—are going to record an album and head out on tour this spring, the first time the original lineup has been together in eight years. Did you know that the band’s first three albums have sold more than 20 million copies? I suspect the fourth one will not boost that total by a substantial amount, but I may be wrong, because there are a lot of angry people out there. (Although a lot of that general frustration does come from people having no money to buy frivolous things like Limp Bizkit albums. Hmm. Social experiment!)

Idolator Live-Blogs The “TRL” Finale: 1-800-DIAL-MTV, We Knew Ye When

Tonight brings us the finale of MTV’s daily countdown show TRL, and MTV is pulling out a few stops to celebrate its end: A few live performances, a few interviews, a return to hosting duties by TRL OG Carson Daly. In some ways, this denouement was inevitable: The fizzy, sheeny, ever-expanding America that was epitomized by the rise of both the first Britney era and TRL some 10 years ago is all but over, what with a seemingly neverending bust ensuing and the concept of “popular music” being less popular than ever. But that doesn’t mean we can’t eulogize it, right? Full coverage begins after the jump.
