Kenny Vs. Spenny just might be Canada's biggest exports since Rush and BTO, but this duo is taking care of business in moving pictures as opposed to in sound, competing not just for your entertainment but to document what executive-producers Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have called, "The most accurate examination of male friendships that we've ever seen." Starpulse sat down with Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice to discuss their forthcoming Comedy Central debut, how their friendship has survived for so long, and the philosophical underpinnings of humiliation and cheating....

The Police star Sting is the worst lyricist of all time, according to a new poll. The school teacher-turned-rock star was criticized for name-dropping Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov in the Don't Stand So Close to Me and quoting a Volvo bumper sticker in If You Love Someone Set Them Free.

The singer beat Rush drummer Neil Peart, Creed front man Scott Stapp and Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher to top the Blender magazine poll.

A spokeswoman for Sting did not respond to a request for comment.

Keith Richards' ashes-snorting confession has won the wrinkly rocker the chance to compete with the reunions of The Police and Genesis as the Event Of The Year at the upcoming Classic Rock Awards in London.

The Rolling Stones star revealed he once snorted his father's ashes in an interview at the beginning of the year only to dispute the comment after it appeared. He recently admitted the story was true.

And that has earned Richards an odd nomination at the November 5 awards ceremony, where former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page will be honored as this year's Living Legend.

It's been two and a half years since Charlie Hunter's last release, Copperopolis. This is certainly not too long to wait if you're happy with the jazz status quo. But for those of you who are Hunter fans Mistico has been a long time coming.

With Mistico, Hunter's first release on Fantasy Records, he continues the quest he's been on since he left Blue Note years ago; a quest no more complicated than the enjoyment of music-his own and others'. And he seems at least a few steps closer to what he's been looking for. "I wanted everything to sound like one kind of large instrument that will ...

Rush star Alex Lifeson is appealing a ruling that cleared Florida sheriff's deputies who arrested him and his son at a New Year's Eve party in 2003 of brutality, because he's sick of heavy-handed police operations in the area.

Lifeson, real name Alex Zivojinovich, was shocked when Judge Paul Magnuson ruled last month the officers were "objectively reasonable" in their behavior - even though they Tasered Lifeson and his son Justin and broke the guitarist's nose in a fight at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Naples, Florida.

Lifeson is now fighting back after collecting video evidence and...

Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson was stunned when he heard the police deputies who arrested him and his son at a party in 2003 would not face charges of being overzealous.

Last week District Judge Paul Magnuson ruled the officersfrom the Collier County Sheriff's Department "were objectively reasonable" in their behavior - even though they Tasered Lifeson and his son Justin and broke the guitarist's nose in a fight at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Naples, Florida.

As a result, the police deputies have been cleared of any wrongdoing -something Lifeson, real name Alex Zivojinovich, cannot bel...

Legendary Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has lost his bid to shame the Florida police deputies who arrested him and his son at a New Year's Eve party in 2003.

But a federal judge has ruled that officers from Collier County "were objectively reasonable."

Lifeson's lawyer, Michael McDonnell, plans to appeal. The rocker and his son, Justin, were Tazered in the skirmish at a Naples, Florida hotel and Lifeson's nose was broken. The fight broke out af...

What follows is an odd eclectic mix of tunes - from Carl's big hair rock to Master Shake's collection of tunes about promiscuous women.

Carl:

Jailbreak - AC/DC

If you go to jail, why stay there? Get some friends with guns and dynamite to get you out.

Mr. Roboto - Styx

There's more to this song than meets the eye. He's like, in this jail for kick ass rockers, and he kills this robot and hides inside th...

Five Things You Didn't Know About Rush:

1.The Canadian power trio have sold More records in the U.S. than The Police, The Who, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, Paul Simon, R.E.M.....do we really need to go on here, people?*

Neither progressive jazz nor progressive rock, "PROG" is the first record on the band's own imprint Do The Math, and it firmly keeps the band on its iconoclastic trajectory, forging a sound that defies any easy definitions or categories. "PROG" is the group's fifth studio album, following 2001's The Bad Plus (Fresh Sounds)...

Progressive rock ("prog") is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late 1960s principally in England, reaching the peak of its popularity in the early 1970s, but continuing as a musical form to this day. Progressive rock was largely a European movement, and drew most of its influences from classical music and jazz fusion, in contrast to American rock, which was influenced by rhythm & blues and country, although there are notable exceptions in the New World such as Kansas and Rush — considered by many to be the finest examples of the form. Over th...
