Slipknot All Hope is Gone Wallpaper
Rock band Slipknot creates haunting artwork to go along with their music. The band also performs in masks. They created new masks for all nine band members in July, described as "creepy" and "intricate." Slipknot reportedly rarely cleans their masks, despite the band's claims that they bleed, sweat and vomit into them during concerts. Awesome?!
Slipknot fans will enjoy Thumbplay's selection of new artwork from the album "All Hope Is Gone," which display a gothic characters with or without Slipknot's logo.

T.I. Gives You Whatever You Like
T.I.'s hit, Whatever You Like was produced by Jim Jonsin, the producer of Lil' Wayne's recent hit single Lollipop. Jonsin uses similar synthesizers, drum patterns, and a straightforward beat in both hits. I guess his formula works, and it doesn't hurt that both Lollipop and Whatever You Like have sexy lyrics too!
And we can pop bottles all night
Baby you can have whatever you like
I said you can have whatever you like
Yeah
... then the song goes on to describe some interesting things that can be done late at night :)

Nokia Completes N-Series Triple Play
If you want a boat load of multimedia features in a phone but don't want to be locked into a service plan, Nokia has floated three new N-series unlocked phones into the market. All three are equipped with 3G, a 5 MP camera with dual LED flash, turn-by-turn GPS, music and video player, a
3.5mm stereo headphone jack and WiFi, and all can run Microsoft Exchange software.You may forgo the costs of a regular contract, but you'll pay a bit more upfront for these fancy phones. The N96 retails for between $750-$800, the N85 (above right) between $600-$650 and the N79 (right) between $500-$550. But they all have replaceable back plates with sensors that change your wallpaper color to match the new plate, either white, brown or coral red.
If you're still interested, the N96 is a two-way slider – slide it down to reveal a speaker and music control soft keys, slide it up to get the numeric keypad. To store your music and photos there's 16 GB of flash memory built-in and a microSD card slot that can accommodate up to an 8 GB card, and to watch video there's a 2.8-inch widescreen LCD. While 3G, the N96 works only on U.S.-based networks.
Both the dual slide N85 and the candybar N79 are 3G world phones and are equipped with 2.6-inch screens and FM transmitters to beam your music through your car's radio and speakers. The N85 is bundled with an 8 GB SD card, the N79 with a 4 GB card.

Dave Matthews Band
Today, it was announced that yesterday LeRoi Moore, Saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band passed away. Upon receiving this sad news, I'd like to highlight some of the tones, videos and graphics that featured LeRoi, to celebrate his work.LeRoi's playing can be heard in the Live Version of "Ants Marching", the instrumental breaks in"Too Much", and in the solid textures during the chorus of "American Baby".
Some of the great DMB's videos are "I Did It", "Satellite" and "What Would You Say". To see graphics click here.

If you're going spelunking or mountain climbing or hang gliding or you push yourself in any other extreme outdoor activity – or if you're just rough on gear – here's the phone for you.
The push-to-talk G'zOne Boulder, now available through Verizon for $129.99 after contract and rebates, is built to military specifications to withstand shock, water, dust, vibration, salt fog, humidity, solar radiation, altitude, and low and high temperature storage. To paraphrase an old ad, it takes a licking and keeps on connecting.
Inside its tough exterior are a host of helpful outdoor tools such as an electronic compass, a flashlight, stopwatch and GPS navigation. Among its more mundane cellphone features are EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, a speakerphone, stereo Bluetooth, voice command and, of course, push-to-talk service through Verizon.
When you're at base camp, enjoy the MP3/WMA/AAC-compatible music player that can be supplemented by a subscription to the Rhapsody music service, and the 1.3 MP camera. There's a microSD memory card slot that can handle up to an 8 GB card.

Tones From The Hills
If anyone watched The Hills last night, you'd probably agree with me that there was a lot of great music played during the show. In addition to "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield still being used as the theme song, they did a really good job of featuring new music by both upcoming and established artists. I'd have to say the musical highlights for me was hearing The Ting Tings "Shut Up And Let Me Go", Rihanna's "Disturbia"; and Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" rocking the start of the show. I though the use of Estelle's "American Boy" was perfectly timed for Lauren's date with Doug. There were great spots for newcomers Lesley Roy with her single "I'm Gone, I'm Going" and the very hip Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" which I'm sure many of you know. I predict it's going to be a great season for Lauren and the girls. posted by Steve Augello @ 9:00 AM

Motorola's W755 Rhapsody in Purple
We're not kidding about the headline. Motorola's new W755 flip phone comes in charcoal gray or purple and is compatible with Verizon's Rhapsody music service. Hence, literally, you get Rhapsody in purple. Somewhere, George Gershwin is grimmacing.
Even if you don't opt to subscribe to Rhapsody and load in your own songs (maybe "Rhapsody in Blue" to make up for my pun?), the W755 is a cute little music phone compatible with Windows Media Player 11, with touch-sensitive backlit music control icons on the front flap, along with a touch-sensitive blue Bluetooth icon to turn the wireless headphone function on or off without burrowing through the menus. If you don't like stereo Bluetooth, unfortunately your alternative is a 2.5mm headphone jack. Worse, you'll have to buy your own earphones – Verizon has stopped including them with phones.
Otherwise, the W755 is an EV-DO Rev. A phone, so Web pages load in a jiffy, is rubberized front and back for a sure grip, has a 1.3 MP camera and a microSD card slot awkwardly placed underneath the battery.

Sugarland Lawsuit
In July, Sugarland released Love on the Inside, an album that is currently number one on Billboard Comprehensive Albums. According to Access Atlanta, a lawsuit by former member Kristin Hall could "put a damper on celebrations" for the album. Hall alleges that even though she left the band in 2005, she is still entitled to her share of the profits from the remaining members because she still has rights to the group. She is seeking 1.5 million.Check out ringtones and video from Sugarland

Beyonce L'Oreal Whitewash
The picture on the left is the Beyonce we know and love. The picture on the right is a new advertisement for L'Oreal. Obviously she's been whitened in more ways than one. The ad is being criticized for trying to make the gifted black singer look like a white person, a problem that has plagued modern culture for decades. Some people see these cosmetic changes as simply modern, others feel that it paints white characteristics as more desirable. Either way it's obvious they should have laid off the photoshop. Beyonce is a nubian goddess, respect!

Motorola Rolls Out ROKR Family
You like certain features on a cellphone, but you wish they came in a flip phone rather than a slider or a candybar or in a slider instead of a flip phone, or – you get the idea.
Well, if you like music phones with built-in FM radios, Motorola has a ROKR in all three styles.
The ROKR EM30 (near right) is a candybar, the ROKR EM28 (bottom right) is a flip or clamshell with touch-sensitive keys and the ROKR EM25 (top right) is a slider with FM radio transmitting capabilities – it'll play the tracks on your ROKR through your car's radio system. The EM30 and the EM28 both operate on the GSM EDGE network.
Each includes an FM RDS radio to provide the name of the artist and song playing, can play multiple digital music formats, and is equipped with industry standard microUSB jacks, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo Bluetooth for wireless music listening.
While Motorola wouldn't say, they're likely to be available from T-Mobile like their big brother, the ROKR E8, probably in the next month or so, and probably for less than $100 with contract and rebates.

Paris Hilton responds to McCain's Obama attack ad, and does a hilarious job with it. See the Paris Hilton McCain video for yourself with this video on funny or die today!
CNN reports that "The McCain camp responded to Hilton's ad Tuesday. "It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's 'all of the above' approach to America's energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan," says McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds."

Pineapple Express Highlights M.I.A. in Trailer
What's that great song in the trailer for Pineapple Express? It's Paper Planes from Sri Lankan superstar M.I.A.
This single was already a hit with a controversial singer, video, and lyrics. What makes it so sensational? Aside from turning gunshots into music, the song seems to be about smuggling and making fake visas. Perhaps an ode to the realities of immigrant culture. Not sure but it's a killer beat and it makes sense for Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco.
What's more fitting for a stoner movie than the lyrics "Fly like paper, get high like planes?" Not advocating any such activity here, but it's a fun song and Pineapple Express promises to be an even more fun summer movie.
Check out all of our Paper Planes Ringtones here, including remixes from the Beastie Boys' Adrock.
