I was sad to hear of Jerry Reed’s passing and confess my favorite memory of him was when he guested on Scooby Doo (I was a giant SD fan as a kid.)

Is this not great?

In other news, Slipknot has the number one album in the country. Those guys are kind of adorable, I must admit.

New Kids on the Block released a new record this week.  I can’t tell you how many of my girlfriends are very excited about this.

Britney Spears will open the MTV VMA’s this Sunday but will not perform.  I shall refrain from comment. I am excited to see Russell Brand host, though.  That guy is hilarious.

Really, here he is on Letterman.

That’s all for tonight, good people. Feel free to email us at musicblog@sxsw.com.

She’s alright with me, lp
