Fred Durst gave fans a peek at the progress of Limp Bizkit's fifth album 'Gold Cobra' during a live web chat yesterday (November 24).
The singer played a number of tracks, including one the band have recorded with Wu Tang Clan rapper Raekwon.
Durst prefaced the track by saying, "You guys might not be able to handle it because it's not rock shit. It's some fuckin' cock your fuckin' gun shit."
He referred to the tracks as "non-album tracks", but the songs played were described as ... ...
If you're acting stupid because you're a stoner, you might just be playing to type. That is, it may be your expectations about marijuana's long-term cognitive effects — rather than any real effect of the drug itself — that is to blame, particularly if you're male, according to new research. The study, which was published in the journal Addictive Behaviors, explored the effect of "stereotype threat" — the idea that performance is affected by conventional images of minorities — on marijuana smokers.
Earlier studies of stereotype threat have found that when African Americans are asked to identify themselves by race before being tested, they tend to score worse than blacks who weren't reminded of their race — in line with racist stereotypes about blacks doing poorly in school.
Explains study co-author Mitch Earleywine, professor of psychology at the University of Albany–SUNY: ...
It is not uncommon for people to react with awe to their first up-close encounter with a balloon from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But when Takashi Murakami saw his contributions to Thursday’s event, he bowed. Twice.
On Wednesday afternoon, on a stretch of West 81st Street in Manhattan where brightly colored, 30-foot-tall inflatable versions of his characters Kaikai and Kiki were wriggling and writhing underneath a huge net, Mr. Murakami, the Japanese pop artist, held a brief Shinto ceremony for purity and luck. He stood at a table where he ...
Kanye West's new album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' is out today (22 November). What better excuse to look back at the arch egotist's funniest ever quotes?
1.
Kanye has been talking up '...Dark Twisted Fantasy' for a while. Back in August he promised it would be his "masterwork. That Avatar-level [work]. I try to compete against the past... Michelangelo, Picasso, the pyramids.” So modest.

A soldier returns from war unable to get the images of battle out of his head. An earthquake survivor rides out long, anxiety-filled nights. A young woman in a pretty floral dress walks her dog along the streets of Manhattan.
All three may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The woman walking her dog is Robin Hutchins, 25. She looks confident and self-assured, and few would guess that a year ago she discovered that she had the stress disorder.
“When I tell people I have P.T.S.D., it’s like I have to convince them it’s a real issue,” she said.
The disorder — in which a traumatic experience leaves the patient suffering from severe anxiety for months or years after the event — is often associated with battlefield combat and natural disasters. But as Dr. Frank Ochberg, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Michigan State University, noted in an interview, the typical trigger is more mundane — most commonly, a traffic accident.
In Ms. Hutchins’s case, it was sexual violence. During her first year in college, ...
Jared Leto, singer of the band 30 Seconds To Mars, posted very incriminating pictures of Linkin Park singers Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington on his Blog. Apparently the rivalry between the two successful Rock bands reached its climax when 30 Seconds To Mars won the MTV EMA for Best Rock against Linkin Park and found their hotel room vandalized with a mocking message left by their rivals:...
