Wassup Dawgz?
I got some new stuff fo ya and comin at ya this week from the iTunes Store.
Peep dis Dawg: I got ma boy XZBit doin his thang pimpin peeps ridz in his MTV show Pimp My Ride. In this episode X rolls up on Tenitas 65 T-Bird, and that bird is, as Tenita puts it, "a dirty bird!"
Yo dawg, she said it, not me.
You need to peep dis, cuz when the boyz in the shop git done wit Tenitas ride it goes from blight to tight. And dis is on the real.
The episode is free so you need ta cop dis rite here. Datll work!
I purposefully kept the Talk easy so that my less worldly readers can understand what was said, but just in case you still need a translation...
Hello everyone and welcome.
I have something new this week that might interest you on the iTunes Store.
This episode of MTVs Pimp My Ride, "Thunderbird," is where my good friend, XZBit, discovers Tenitas 1965 Thunderbird, and that car is, as Tenita puts it, ..."a dirty bird."

Tenita and her dirty 65 Bird Pre-Pimped
Hey, she said it, not me.
Anyway, you really should check out this episode because when the guys in the shop get through with it, that car goes from not so hot to cool. You have to see it to believe it.
The episode is free so go grab it now. Sweet!
Pimp My Ride is a MTV good time, but if youre a fan of Flavor of Love (Im not, but thats no surprise) then you might want to check out Charm School Girls. Its not what you think.
MoNique hosts a review of the girls made popular by the show, Flavor of Love, a quasi-reality show featuring Flavor Flav. These girls are going to get some polish in MoNiques charm boot-camp, and compete for $50,000.
Whats interesting here is that some of these girls are working their time in the spotlight to their advantage. Some are playing the celebrity circuit, launching singing and acting careers, and really trying to put their bit of fame to good use. I say work it ladies, work it!
If MoNique and her girls dont suit you maybe youll take a shine to Jeff Foxworthys Big Night Out. The free episode on the iTunes store features Kenny Rogers.
If you dont know who Jeff Foxworthy, hes the guy who made popular the "You might be a redneck if..." jokes. I like his working class humor, and the show is sort of a Kentucky version of Saturday Night Live, with skits and stand-up routines. Its not the best Foxworthy Ive seen, his regular stand-up stuff is hilarious, but its still pretty good and worth the price.
And last, and, well, whether its least or not Ill leave for you to decide: The Story is a music video, and the title of Brandi Carliles latest album. Its a free download this week at the iTunes Store. The video features scenes from Greys Anatomy, the ABC hospital drama that airs on Thursday nights.
Im guessing youd have to follow the show to glean the significance the song has for the show, but its a good song and the video is OK, if you like that sort of thing.
I was a bit disappointed, I thought I was going to get an episode. I suppose the length of the show, 4 minutes and some change, should have given me a clue, huh?
Ah well, if youre a fan of either Brabi Carlile or Greys Anatomy youll probably get more out of this download than I did. Enjoy.
