Jazz legend Joe Zawinul dead at 75
Jazz legend Joe Zawinul, who soared to fame as one of the creators of jazz fusion and performed and recorded with Miles Davis, has died, his son said. He was 75.
Zawinul died in a Vienna hospital early Tuesday, his son, Erich Zawinul, was quoted as saying by the Austria Press Agency. Zawinul had been hospitalized since last month. Zawinul won widespread acclaim for his keyboard work on chart-topping Davis albums such as ''In A Silent Way'' and ''Bitches Brew,'' and was a leading force behind the so-called ''Electric Jazz'' movement.

Stripper Britney at the MTV Awards
It had to be Britney Spears night at the MTV Awards last night. But was it? She came out dressed as a stripper and only lip-sunched her new single Gimme More. But lip-synching and still forgettting the words to your own song?

Ed Rosenthal: Big Man of Buds [mp3]
From a certain perspective, Ed Rosenthal may have caught a break when Judge Breyer sentenced him to just one day in prison plus time served when he was convicted for growing hundreds of marijuana plants in Oakland, California. But it would be difficult to argue that his trial was anything short of Kafkaesque. Rosenthal had been deputized by the City of Oakland to grow medical marijuana. But after being busted by the Feds, he was not even allowed to mention his relationship to the lawful government of Oakland nor was he allowed to present witnesses who could talk about it.

Raw 9/11 Footage [Video]
A 15 minute amateur video from 9/11 showing firefighters organizing on the street, police rescuing an injured officer and different angles of the burning towers. I'm not sure if this is new footage or not.

Victims
The world is all kinds of fucked up right at the moment. Bad people are still doing bad things and it doesn't look to get better anytime soon.
It's hard to believe that today marks the 6 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and we still remember the New York Skyline as having the Twin Towers. So much has gone on in the world since then that it is hard to keep in perspective the thousands of people that died that day.
