So, try as I might to hate, the Diesel 30th anniversary party was pretty damn awesome. A visibly preggers MIA straight killed it. Her baby bump was covered in so much asymmetrical 80’s-print spandex it looked like a Balzac. The show featured surprise performances from TI, Franz Ferdinand and Chaka Khan. Here’s some live video of MIA’s performance of her single Paper Planes, with Rye Rye and N.E.R.D.
More pictures after the jump.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Mr. Lydon.

We were really, really bad this week. Not only did we miss the rockin Pissed Jeans / Children Show at Glasslands for totally bogus reasons, but we left you without FUN! On a Friday no less! In penitence for this most hideous of interweb crimes, and in preparation for the upcoming Jewish holiday of atonement we present you with the following.
Go on, we’ll wait.
Tell us your entire universe isn’t rocked to the core of its foundation by the flute stylings of the vice presidential candidate of the Republican party. Bless her heart, there’s always that Jethro Tull reunion to look forward to. [Ed – Did Jethro Tull ever really leave the building? No they didn’t.]
Diesel is throwing a “Golden Ticket” party Oct. 11th, but you can view the ridiculous “SFW” commercial / promo on YouTube right now. This animation technique is called Rotoscoping and has been used in everything from Who Framed Roger Rabit? to Richard Linklater’s adaptation of A Scanner Darkly.

So, our loyal Admiral Stockbauer flaked at the last minute and the show at The Bell House was left without an MC. Fortunately consummate showman Gibby Haynes stepped up to the plate and introduced the Back CC’s. Thus we must call out our dear old pal, proprietor of the Long Branch Saloon and Scoot Inn in sunny Austin, TX and his Merry Band of Lawyers™.
Take us on, Stockbauer. Take us on.

So we decided to make Friday Afternoon Videos a recurring feature… But it ain’t all Adult Swim and Brule’s Rules my friends.
This week’s gem, culled from the vaults is a rare-ly seen live video I shot for NJ hardcore institution, Lifetime on their 2006 East Coast / Midwest tour with The Bronx.
Clearly the best part of Tim and Eric. John C. Reilly felt like ushering you all into the weekend. For your health!
