Das Racist Get Lost In Yum Brands’ Supermarket
What is “Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell,” which has already been tipped as one of the possible jams of the summer by MTV’s James Montgomery, been termed “the track we, as a culture, need right now, or the track we, as a culture, deserve—or both” by Village Voice music editor Rob Harvilla, and been remixed in such a way that it snagged Pitchfork’s coveted Best New Music tag? The plot of the song is simple: The two dudes who comprise the Brooklyn hip-hop duo Das Racist are trying to find each other in one of those slightly horrifying hybrid fast-food joints that Yum! Brands–the company responsible for bringing KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s, and A & W to this country’s blighted thoroughfares and food courts–have crafted in a response to ever-rising real estate costs, or wanting to flood the zone with different types of bad-for-you combinations of cheese and tomatoes, or (more likely) both. “Combination” is the sort of deceptively idiotic song that will either inspire repeated listenings or you throwing whatever is playing the music across the room; the Pitchfork-kudosed remix by Wallpaper, which turns the song into something that could very easily be called “Daft Punk Is Playing At My Fast-Food Place,” is after the jump.

The Academy Of Country Music Loves Brad Paisley
The Academy Of Country Music Awards are essentially the American Music Awards to the Country Music Association Awards’ Grammys: Both came along a little later, and both seem to lack the prestige of their mainstream competitor. Still, even putting aside their very similar acronyms, the ACMs aren’t terribly distinctive from the CMAs. Both gave their prestige awards (Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and Song of the Year) to the same people last year. While we wonder if there’s a point to the ACMs that doesn’t involve allowing Nashville types an excuse to hang out in Vegas for a weekend, feel free to peruse this year’s nominees. Brad Paisley, who took home two ACM Awards last year, led this year’s field, picking up six nods. And in something of a surprise, former Trick Pony frontwoman Heidi Newfield nabbed five nominations.
Pepsi Vs. Coke In The World Series Of Pop
There are two reasons that I’m glad I kept putting off my treatise on the very unfortunate Bob Dylan vs. will.i.am smackdown in honor of Pepsi: First, MTV News’ James Montgomery pretty much summed up my thoughts on the overall “the present is kinda crappy, let’s just OD on sugar” feel of the ad; and second, I found out that the Coca-Cola-sponsored collaboration between Cee-Lo, Patrick Stump, Janelle Monae, Brendon Urie, Travis McCoy, and Butch Walker had debuted online today. Guess which one is about 50 million times more pleasurable to these ears? I’ll give you a hint: It’s the one without Shrek in its attached video.
