Eminem on his workout plan: “I need someone on the TV yelling to motivate me”

0

“When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober. Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect. It’s easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise. One addiction for another but one that’s good for them. I got an addict’s brain, and when it came to running, I think I got a little carried away. I became a fucking hamster. Seventeen miles a day on a treadmill. I would get up in the morning, and before I went to the studio, I would run eight and a half miles in about an hour. Then I’d come home and run another eight and a half. I started getting OCD about the calories, making sure I burned 2,000 every day. In the end, I got down to about 149 pounds. I ran to the point where I started to get injured. All the constant pounding from the running began to tear up my hip flexors.

“So when I was starting to dial back on the treadmill, I tried out some of those workout DVDs you do at home. One of the first ones was Shaun T’s Insanity workout. I know a lot of these DVD guys are wacky, but I’m alone in my gym; I need someone on the TV yelling to motivate me. Besides, some of this shit is entertaining.”

Chris Martin’s Isolated Vocals From Coldplay’s Yellow, Viva La Vida, The Scientist, Fix You and Clocks

0

Given the way Coldplay’s career has unfolded, it’s easy to see their pop gift with no real obstacles were in the way towards world domination, except lead singer Chris Martin’s constantly shifting mind wanting to be the biggest band in the world, and hiding from all the attention given.

In December 2014, Spotify named Coldplay the most-streamed band in the world for 2014, and third most-streamed artist behind only Ed Sheeran and Eminem. At that same time, Martin announced in an interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 that Coldplay are in the middle of working on their seventh studio album which will be called A Head Full of Dreams, hinting at the style of the album by saying that the band was trying to make something colourful and uplifting, yet not bombast. He also stated that it will be something to “shuffle your feet” to.

While we’re waiting, here are the best isolated vocals to keep you warm this week.

Which is exactly what we want from CollegeHumor.

Mark Goffeney is a talented guitarist, especially when you consider that he plays using his feet. Born without arms, Mark’s disability made him believe in the power of music even more. He’s known as “Big Toe” and is the bassist and vocalist for the ‘Big Toe’ band and played the principal role on Fox Television’s Emmy-nominated commercial ‘Feet’. The advertisement, aired during the 2000 and 2001 Super Bowls, was for the NFL website, and it told the story of a character named Roger who was so obsessed with the website that he did everything else with his feet—including changing his baby’s diaper

Gwar Covers Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop” And There’s Video

0

GWAR scares us, both because they’re giant monsters from outer space with exaggerated genitals, and also because they keep coming back to The A.V. Club’s Undercover and destroying (in the best way) every song they attempt. This year it’s Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop,” the 1984 single that followed in the massive wake of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” The lyrics here are something of an extension of that song, considering that they’re about masturbation. Though they’re pretty tame-sounding 30 years later, the words to “She Bop” were cited as one of the “filthy 15” that led to Tipper Gore and the PMRC getting all up in the music business. As usual, GWAR made the song their own—and added a little something extra, too.
