Can you believe it’s been one year since Occupy Wall Street filled the newspaper headlines and Twitter feeds? In celebration of this one year anniversary, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello performed a special show in lower Manhattan yesterday. The musician, who has been wildly outspoken about the protest movement, was joined by several other politically-minded musicians, including Das Racist member Kool A.D., Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra and the rap group Rebel Diaz.

Yesterday, Tom Morello and his “guitarmy” converged on New York City’s Bryant Park as part of May Day’s reactivation of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

   It’s strange to think that people entering college next year may not have been alive while Kurt Cobain was but that this new technology that he probably would have hated keeps his memory alive. .

   Given the message behind her newest song, I think she makes a great Godmother.Let it also be known that the child has not one, but three Godmothers. I bet all three of them can buy baby Zachary plenty of love… ;)

mtvU has announced the nominees for their annual Woodie Awards and it looks this might be Kanye West’s chance to finally snag one of the trophies. The 2011 Woodie Awards will air live from Austin during the SXSW Music Festival and all the winners will, as usual, be determined by fan voting (better start tweeting now, Kanye).

.

Nominees this year include West, The Black Keys, Wiz Khalifa and B.o.B. West is up for the “Left Field Woodie,” which is given to the year’s “most original artist,” against actual original artists like Die Antwoord, Lil B, Yelawolf and Das Racist.

.

“We are excited to be nominated for the ‘Woodie Awards’ and are super stoked that MTV has been so supportive of our videos,” Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney said of his band’s nominations in two categories: “Woodie of the Year” and “Best Video Woodie.”
