MTV Video Music Awards Full of Thrills
Never one to shy away from controversy, Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to proclaim his preference for Beyonce’s video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Swift, always the lady, politely stepped aside while Kanye West was heckled by the crowd. In a display of her trademark class, Beyonce took the opportunity, when she won Video Of The Year for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” to invite Taylor Swift on-stage to finish the speech Kanye cut short.
More excitement ensued when Lady GaGa appeared to be injured during her elaborate dance sequence for her hit “Paparazzi.” In fact, it was all part of the dramatic, gory performance which morphed into horror movie madness, interpreted by some as an homage to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" and Madonna’s famous 1980’s MTV VMA performance of “Like A Virgin.”
Earlier in the evening, Madonna gave a heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson , preceded by a special appearance from Janet Jackson. Janet’s performance was part of a larger tribute that included dance re-enactments of Michael’s “Thriller,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Bad” videos.
Other memorable live performances included Muse, with their new single “Uprising,” The All-American Rejects with " Gives You Hell,” Pitbull with his hit "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),” Taylor Swift singing “You Belong With Me,” Pink performing her hit “Sober” from a trapeze, and finally, the much-anticipated “Empire State Of Mind” duet with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

Thumbplay Celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock
The Woodstock music festival of 1969 celebrates its 40th anniversary this weekend. The 3-day music festival, which began on August 15, 1969, is remembered as the quintessential statement of peace through music, and has gone on to define the countercultural crossroads of an entire generation.
The festival introduced three of the world’s legendary guitar impresarios: Richie Havens, known for his unique and intense versions of famous songs such as “Strawberry Fields Forever” and Bob Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman;” Santana, whose performances of tunes like “Black Magic Woman” still remain hugely popular; and the gone-but-not-forgotten genius, Jimi Hendrix, who hit the scene with “Foxey Lady” “Purple Haze” and a killer cover of Bob Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtower.’ Other legendary performances on the Woodstock stage include The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Sly & The Family Stone, The Band led by Levon Helm, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Jefferson Airplane.

The Original King
With the tragic passing of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, we are reminded of the original King, Elvis Presley. Another creative genius and cultural icon, Elvis Presley's groundbreaking body of work allowed Rhythm & Blues, Rock n Roll and Pop music to merge forever. Until Michael Jackson, no other artist could touch the cultural, iconic power of Elvis, whose early hits of the 50’s and 60’s, “All Shook Up,”“Hound Dog,”“Don’t Be Cruel” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” were the cornerstone of Rock n Roll history. His full-bodied, soulful voice also redefined older classics, such as “Blue Moon” and “Love Letters.” Presley’s late career held many landmark 70’s hits as well, such as “Always On My Mind,” “Solitaire,” and “Burning Love.” Don’t miss Thumbplay’s entire catalog of Elvis tones and MP3’s!

Idol® Boys Club Face Off
Last night's show was hotter than it has been all season, with the final three guys performing two songs each. The first round songs were "Judges Choice," kicking off with Danny Gokey singing Paula's pick, a rambunctious version of Terence Trent D’Arby’s “Dance Little Sister,” to mixed praise by the judges. Next up was a surprising and original performance by Kris Allen, of OneRepublic’s “Apologize,” chosen by Kara and Randy. Simon stuck with the classics, hand-picking U2’s “One” for Adam, whose arrangement of the song rubbed Randy the wrong way.
The half-way mark brought in old favorite, season four winner Carrie Underwood, showing her charitable side in the annual “Idol Gives Back®” segment, to the tune of Karl Wolf’s “Africa,” a cover of the 1983 Toto hit. Round two started with Danny’s "You Are So Beautiful" made famous by Joe Cocker. Was it enough to keep Danny alive? He has some stiff competition from Kris, whose unique cover of Kanye West’s “Heartless” brought the house down. Simon pleaded with viewers to vote for Adam, who chose "Cryin’" by Aerosmith as his final song.

Heavy Hitting Rock
For the first time ever, Led Zeppelin and Metallica have released their ringtones -and Thumbplay has them all. This is major news for all of us Rock fans, as it's been a long wait to finally get these songs available as tones.Metallica's new single "The Day That Never Comes" rocks as loud and hard as some of their classics like "Enter Sandman", "One", "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters" -which are all still played regularly at radio stations 'round the world. I'm also psyched to finally have the mighty Led Zep's historic anthems "Stairway To Heaven", "Black Dog", "The Immigrant Song","Kashmir" and of course "Rock And Roll". These tones will certainly provide a great excuse to ~rock out~ every time the phone rings.
Two more tones worthy of mentioning are AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" used in the game Rock Band 2 and Foreigner's "Jukebox Hero" which is another great Rock Band game song. Hope you enjoy!

ROCK VIDEO CLIPS
You don't have to have long hair and tattoos to enjoy our Rock music videos clips! Thumbplay makes it easy to download the best available for mobile. Let me break down a list of some of the favorites:
For the EMO Rockers…The All-American Rejects have delivered their huge hit 'Move Along', together with their earlier single 'Dirty Little Secret', which is a great video for those on the down-low…catch my drift? Fall Out Boy's Thnks fr th Mmrs has been a favorite for those trying to tell someone to ‘have a nice life’.
There are videos whose songs you can currently hear in tv commercials… like Shiny Toy Guns' 'Le Disko' and Sublime's 'Santeria'. Those two have gotten a lot of play in the past few months. Sound familiar?
In the Hard Rock arena…Papa Roach's 'Last Resort' and AFI's 'Love Like Winter' deliver a hard punch.
On the Pop side, there are videos you MUST know… Hinder's 'Lips Of An Angel' is probably the most recognizable among Thumbplayers. Dashboard Confessional's 'Stolen' and 3 Doors Down 'Here Without You' are the heart-breakers (sighhhh). Then there is The Killers' 'Somebody Told Me' and so many great ones from Weezer like 'Beverly Hills', 'Undone The Sweater Song', 'Say It Ain’t So' and 'Hash Pipe'. Tell me you haven’t heard any of those before?
Of course, there are a good dose of the Classics…Tom Petty's 'Don’t Come Around Here No More', The Fixx's 'One Thing Leads To Another', New Radicals' 'You Get What You Give', Bon Jovi's 'Wanted Dead Or Alive', Hanson's 'MMMBop' and Extreme's sappy but lovable 'More Than Words'. Geez, remember those?
And last but not least, there’s ummm… The Pink Spiders' 'Little Razorblade' and New Found Glory's 'It’s Not Your Fault'. I won’t really say much about those two. You’ll just have to check them out for yourself…
