Breaking Culture News

Breaking "Sports" Culture News

there is a new home run king


SF Giants OF Barry Bonds when over the top of baseball all-time home run list by hit ing hiis 22nd homer of the season, Which was also carrer HR 756 which break the record of Hank Aaron who hold the record for 33 years

i know you are asking the who who on that historic home run so her it go

Innings where the home run hit: 5th inning
the poor sap who gave up HR 756: Washington Nationals pitchers Mike Bacsik
what type of home run: Solo HR
how many out when the HR was Hit: 1 out
what was the count: full Count[3 ball - 2 Strikes]
Speed of the picth: 86 M.P.H.

now the commish of baseball was not at the game but did issued the Following staement:

"I congratulate Barry Bonds for establishing a new career home run record. Barry's achievement is noteworthy and remarkable.

"After Barry came out of the game, I congratulated him by telephone and had MLB executive vice president Jimmie Lee Solomon and Hall of Famer Frank Robinson -- both of whom were at the game and witnessed the record-breaking home run -- meet with him on my behalf. While the issues which have swirled around this record will continue to work themselves toward resolution, today is a day for congratulations on a truly remarkable achievement."

in a total surprize the Former record holder "Hammering" Hank Aaron who hold the record for 33 years send his congratulations by video at ATT Park in he made the Folling:

"I would like to offer my congratulations to Barry Bonds on becoming baseball's career home run leader. It is a great accomplishment which required skill, longevity and determination,"

"Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball, and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years. I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historic achievement.

"My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams."

Now since uploading video of the feat to you tube would be a violation of MLB Copy right so i put a link to San Francsico CBS Station KPIX-TV [CBS-5]for the moment the homer happened, the video tribute and Barry talking to the fans after the game

A Link to the home run moment at KPIX-TV

as for the game the the Giants loss by giving up four in the 8th and loss 8 to 6.

New Music Tuesday

WEEK 32 [2007]
AUGUST 7, 2007


today is the first tuesday in August 2007 and this weekend i turn a year older at 34 and sadly i did not spend time with Garrison Keillor and "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show and speaking of Garrison Keillor is 65 year old today.

also on this day in 1999, [and i will admit beging a non-country fan i did see it on HBO] despite haveing No country radio station in New York City, Garth Brooks drew a really, really big crowd in at Central Park his concert live on HBO [which drew 14.6 million]broung anywhere between 250,000 to 900,000 and still to this day still have no Country music station.

and over my birthday i still mop about not haveing a girlfriend, which left me a little heartbroken like Elton John & Kiki Dee hit song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" Which reach No.1 on the pop chart on this day in 1976.

But My Friend will always say it not worth it even if you ex-girlfriend write a song about you after a break up and that song made you a big time star, just like Alanis Morissette "You Oughta Know" which reach no.1 on Modern Rock chart on this day back in 1995.

The Culture City Interview - Jasper from Webvomit.com before Lollapalooza

This Weekend is the big three day indie music fest at Grant park in chicago called Lollapalooza, this is the third year since they change it from a travling festival to a mega three days fest at grant park in downtown chicago.

the headliner at this year Lollapalooza are Daft Punk,Yeah Yeah Yeahs,Muse,Pearl Jam.

other band that are playing Chicago The Black Keys, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Interpol, Amy Winehouse, Iggy & the Stooges, Modest Mouse, Regina Spektor, Patti Smith, Blonde Redhead, LCD Soundsystem, !!!, TV on the Radio and a couple of local bands the Electric Six, and st. peacheds are playing there as well

no i wish i was going but still stuck in the D as always, but a good friend of the blog sight Jasper of Webvomit.com, he is going that to report on the going on at chicago, Just before he left i sent him a E-mail interview and return the interview to post here:

Key:
ICFCC: Me the Editor
WV: Jasper

ICFCC: Jasper, What up?

WV: Not much. Procrastinating through the work day, trying to get out of here.

ICFCC: So how exicted are you for this year festival at Grant Park?.

WV: Pretty excited. I think this is the best overall lineup Lollapalooza has had.

ICFCC: Have the music at Lollapalooza been a better since it change from a two-day traveling festival to a big gathering at Grant park?

WV: I think so. Instead of a band having to take a few months to tour, they only have to be available for one day and leaves the free to do a full summer tour, as well. And for bands who weren't planning on touring over the summer, it's only one day they have to get their shit together and play. I think it works out in favor of the bands pretty well.

ICFCC: Now i know that as a preson outside the 313 who have seen the pictures and videos from the last few years of Lollapalooza it look like it was fun, how is it like at Grant Park?.

WV: It's hot and crowded and big. It is fun, but there's just so many people there sometimes it gets really uncomfortable.

ICFCC: So who are you looking forward to seeing this weekend in Chicago?

WV: Lots of old favorites like The Rapture and Muse and The Hold Steady, but since I've already seen the majority of bands I'm going to focus on acts I haven't seen yet. Like Apostle of Hustle, Peter Bjorn & John, Ghostland Observatory, I'm From Barcelona, Los Campesinos. A lot of "smaller" acts.

ICFCC: Now looking at the Schedule there is so many good act are playing this year, How do you decide who to see and who to not see at the same time?

WV: If it's someone I've already seen vs. a new band, I'll go with the new band. Sometimes it's whoever is closest because I'm lazy.

ICFCC: is there any band you look at the Line-up that you are not excited to see?

WV: Of course. You can't like everything, right? But there's really no band I hate (I don't think). In past years The Killers and The Bravery and Dashboard Confessional have played and that's just noise pollution.

ICFCC: How much influence dose Perry Farrell have on the line-up?

WV: No idea. The guy's a lunatic so I imagine someone has to translate whatever incoherent ramblings come out of his mouth into the closest sounding band name. Probably why CSS is playing.

ICFCC: Now i know the distance between Detroit and Chicago is about 249 between them other it is in Chicago, how do it benefit the avg. music Fans in Detroit.

WV: It's really the only midwest-ish music festival we have, so we have to embrace it. I'm not driving to Coachella or Vegoose.

ICFCC: One more thing for any advice in planning to get ticket to Next year lolly?

WV: This was the first year I was shut out of the advance "cheap" tickets. Not cool. Demand is high though, so it's all about luck.

ICFCC: O.K. thanks you jasper, and i hoped to talk to you next week about the aftermath to Lolly.

WV: Sure thing.

Were are going to contact Jasper aging Next Week on his Lollapalooza trip this weekend, dont forget you can catch all the covage on his own sight jasper.webvomit.com and dont forget there will be other music blog also covering Lollapalooza as well.
