Genres clash and blur at SXSW festival Apr 7, 2007
For one week a year, then, Austin essentially becomes that bustling shopping mall Dave Chappelle imagined in one of his early skits, an actual living, breathing manifestation of Internet Culture: Genres clash and blur; legends like Pete Townshend and Iggy Pop brush shoulders with Myspace bands; labels spam critics with showcases; pubs spam everyone with drink offers; music publications throw parties; and struggling independent labels jostle for space with major-label imprints looking to co-opt...

* 'Go ahead, make my day, Jew' Mar 23, 2007
Commentators often imply that Borat wouldn't be funny if Baron Cohen were not Jewish, which is kind of like saying that Dave Chappelle wouldn't be funny if he were not black.

Miami's Shaquille O'Neal, ever the showman, took part. He decided to become a point center when the East already trailed by 25 points in the fourth quarter, but his cross-over, pull-up jumper over Utah's Mehmet Okur clanked off the rim.
