No wonder Obama called Kanye West a ‘Jackass.’ This is really getting out of hand.

If you have not heard the leaked clip of Obama calling Kanye West a Jackass - then check out the link.

So here is our dear President Barack Obama delivering his speech and talking about the very important healthcare reform and then out of nowhere Kanye West interrupts him in the same manner he did during the VMA’s.

You heard it from the president himself - Beyonce’s video is not the best video of all time.

Check it out:

During an interview, a reporter asked President Obama what he thought of Kanye West’s antics on the MTV VMAs.

Since it was the only thing everyone was talking about at the time, ofcourse he had something to say about it.

He called Kanye West a “Jackass” but he was under the impression that the whole pre-interview chatter was off the record. The tweeting staff of the network didn’t think so and took advantage of the moment to tweet to their friends what was happening during the interview. Now the news is out and Obama is being criticized for getting involved in this mess.

Here is a clip of Obama calling Kanye Out.

Kanye West has done it again!

Just when you thought Kanye could not possibly get the world to hate him even more - he comes up with this: (the video comes up after a quick commercial from mtv)

Taylor Swift was really genuinely happy to receive a moon man from MTV but before she could finish her acceptance speech - Kanye decided to voice his opinion by stealing the mic and telling everybody that Beyonce’s video is the best.

I really found this to be very funny but annoying at the same time. I can’t help but to feel bad for Taylor who was left stunned after the crazy stunt. Everybody booed Kanye off the stage while giving a standing ovation for Taylor.

This was by far the most outrageous thing he has done and totally tops when he said he should replace Michael Jackson as the king of pop just days after his death.

In the end, Beyonce did get a chance to win video of the year and gracefully gave her moment to Taylor so that she could finish her speech.

Kanye apologized in his blog and said that he was just keeping it real but totally disrespected Taylor Swift. He said he liked the lyrics about cheerleaders and bleachers - Whoopie!

Here is the second installment to Dave Carroll’s anti-United Airlines campaign.

This video required a bit more to produce compared to the first one. They had to hire some extras, rent a crane for an overhead shot, and a few other elements. Thanks to all the people who volunteered their time and talent to produce this video.

I am loving the new Taylor T3 guitar.

One guitar was injured in the making of this music video.

Here’s a song created by Dave Carroll about his Taylor Guitar that was destroyed in to pieces by United Airline baggage handlers while the Sons of Maxwell were on tour. He vowed to write a song about it and tell the whole world after United shrugged the whole incident off and never reimbursed him for the damages. And now the song has reached over 500,000 views in YouTube and has been featured in some local news. Talk about a PR nightmare.

Well the swine flu has already moved its way and infected the music industry.

I present to you the Swine Flu song on acoustic guitar. I’m sure this song will fizzle away along with the virus in a couple of days but for now - just enjoy it.

Looking at this guitar really makes me laugh. This has got to be the most ridiculous guitar design I have ever seen. This is just comedy!

Must be fun to whip this out during a concert and just have everyone stare in confusion.

Two things that are important to me are my guitars and my video games. These are the things that take up most of my time. So I got excited when I saw the Nintendo Guitar. I can’t even count how many hours I have wasted playing Mario and Zelda during the Nintendo days so this console really holds a special place in my heart.

If this thing played well I would definitely take this onstage with me.

Whoa - a 16-bit guitar! This is the future.

Phil McCraken here trying to teach us all how to use an electric guitar.

Just from the first five seconds of this video I already could tell that this is legit! Definitely picked up a thing or two from this lesson and I have already applied it onstage.

This guy has a great sense of musicality in him and his custom electric guitar keeps you guessing, is it right handed? left? who cares!

Oh and careful with the 5 watt amp, it’s very powerful!
