Friday Video – Kaci Battaglia, “Body Shots”

When we last spoke with Little Miss Crazy Possessive, child pop star-turned club vixen Kaci Battaglia was laying down tracks for her first album, so we asked her who she’d most like to work with. After laying down the rule that dead people were exempt (her first reply: Judy Garland), she mentioned some rappers, namely Flo Rida, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne.

She can scratch one of those from her list.

If we’re being honest, Battaglia’s music doesn’t exactly speak to us, but then again, it’s not supposed to. It’s an anthem for girls gone wild, and if you’re lucky enough to get in with those girls gone wild, then this is the best song you’ve ever heard. Complete with step-by-step instructions on how exactly to do a body shot (you know, in case you’re unclear about the concept), not to mention a very amusing guest performance by Ludacris (“These girls wanna try some things, and I’m gonna be the one they try it on”), this clip has more girl-on-girl action than a late-night Skinemax movie. What you do with the volume is ultimately up to you, but you need to see this video. Kaci’s gorgeous, and you couldn’t wear less clothes without being naked. Boiiiiiiing.

Take a ride in Heart’s Red Velvet Car, stream their new single “WTF”

They are two of the most badass women in rock, and odds are one of their songs was playing in the background during a formative experience in your life. Don’t worry, we won’t ask for details, because it’s probably best for all concerned that there are no witnesses.

In conjunction with the release of their 13th studio album Red Velvet Car, Bullz-Eye is taking part in a scavenger hunt where that has the band posting a new song from the album on a different site. We were lucky enough to score the band’s rockin’ new single “WTF,” which you can listen to right here. And you definitely want to listen to this, because it’s the hardest thing Heart’s done in decades.

To find out what web site is hosting the next song from the album, follow the band on Twitter, where they will be leaving clues as to the next location. (Look for the hash tag “#I<3Heart".) Man, this one will sound good in their live set next to "Barracuda." Party on, Wayne. Heart Official Site

Friday Video – N.E.R.D., “Hot-n-Fun” (featuring Nelly Furtado)

We’re admittedly late on this one, but we have a perfectly good explanation. Well, we’re not sure how good an explanation it is, but it’s the truth – we couldn’t get the video to play.

Damn thing landed in our inbox in late June, but it kept stalling. And since there were 100 more ‘drop what you’re doing and watch/listen to this at once’ emails behind it, we moved on. (After taking last week off, there are now 200 of those emails waiting for us.) It’s that Yahoo player. Once the thing finally made its way to YouTube (ahem, excuse us, Vevo), it played just fine.

So here we are, late but still early enough to post this puppy before it crashes the Top 40. Damn, that bass line is the most awesomely sleazy thing we’ve heard in years. Like “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” with a libido. Let’s get right, okay?

Book Review: Life is What You Make It by Peter Buffett

Whether or not you’ve had that “a-ha” moment in your life in which you’ve found your true passion and can engage that passion without it feeling like work (most of the time), you need to read Peter Buffett’s new book, Life Is What You Make It. Buffett, of course, is the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, but lucky for the son, his dad as well as his mom let Peter follow his own path to success–one involving music and, eventually, philanthropy.

What Buffett does in this book is not to just tell his own story, but to give tips along the way about how you can forge your own path. He talks about ultimately finding a passion to stoke your own internal fires rather than to just earn a paycheck and aid in fulfilling someone else’s dream. Throughout the book, you’ll be nodding that in fact he’s right–that you were or are in scenarios he is describing, or that he’s describing the lives of people you know and love.

Most of all, this is one of those books that is truly inspirational. I know the effect it had on me is this–that all of my back burner projects need to be seen through rather than revolving on various back burners. Because having a job or business you love is only part of what makes us whole, not the only thing that defines us.

Of course, when Buffett does talk about the various paths he’s taken, it’s a fascinating read, though he’s probably too humble to actually agree with that. He talks matter-of-factly about his success with early MTV bumpers and with music for Kevin Costner’s “Dances With Wolves” blockbuster. But Peter and his wife have found the most fulfillment in starting the NoVo Foundation for helping to empower young women to find paths to success themselves.

What’s unique and remarkable about Life is What You Make It is not the content itself. It’s the point of view, as well as the lessons it teaches–namely, that money isn’t the be-all, end-all. Happiness found through following passions and giving back are what really matter most, and Peter Buffett is living proof of just that.

Bullz-Eye-Witness Report: Snoop Dogg destroyin’ the evidence for “Mafia Wars: Las Vegas”

Say, did you hear about Snoop Dogg blowing up an armored car in the middle of the Nevada desert as part of a publicity stunt to celebrate the 10 millionth visitor to Zynga’s latest “Mafia Wars” expansion, “Mafia Wars: Las Vegas”?

Maybe you did. Maybe you even watched it happen at MafiaWars.com, since the event was streamed live…and if you did watch it live, then you no doubt noticed that, despite the designated start time having been established as 6 PM PST, it didn’t actually go down ’til a little bit later.

Yeah, I noticed it, too. Except I noticed it live from the Nevada desert, since I was standing right there when the whole thing went down. And it wasn’t much of a surprise to me, since I’d been watching the events unfold for the previous two hours.

And, now, here’s the story of what happened and how I came to be there.
