This year’s Lollapalooza took place this past weekend (8/5-8/7). I had the opportunity to go in 2009 and it was covered in awesome sauce. Judging by this year’s pics, it looks like the lineup didn’t disappoint. Acts included Cee Lo Green, Eminem, Muse, Foo Fighters, OK Go, deadmau5, Coldplay, Kid Cudi, Arctic Monkeys, Fitz & The Tantrums, The Naked and Famous, Foster The People, Crystal Castles, Portugal The Man, Cage The Elphant, Two Door Cinema Club, Skylar Grey, The Pretty Reckless, Sam Adams, Tinie Tempah, Deftones, Ween, Nas, Girl Talk, Pretty Lights, and many more. We’ve curated the best of the best and packed them into this righteous photo gallery. Check out the hotties, hipsters, and hip hoppers after the jump.

There’s no better energizer than music. It has the ability to take us to places we didn’t even know we could reach. It’s emotional, enticing, motivational, electrifying, and infuriating. When athletes are about to engage in competition, they often use music as a source of inspiration to pump them up before entering combat. The next time you faced with a seemingly impossible challenge or need a good soundtrack for your own @ss-whooping, we’ve got a list of 20 fight songs that will help get you in the mood for mayhem. Check ‘em out then vote for the best in our poll after the jump.

May is bicycle month, not to be confused with “Bicycle Day” which is celebrated on April 19th. On that day, Albert Hofmann (the inventor of LSD) ingested 250 micrograms of the drug attempting to find how much would f*ck him up. Considering that today’s general knowledge dictates that only 20 micrograms are needed, ‘The Hof’ started bugging out. Wartime restrictions prohibited the use of vehicles so Albert was forced to ride a bicycle on what will go down in history as the most holy-sh!t journey ever made. Check out these 20 famous LSD users that followed in his bike treads after the jump.

There’s hundreds of rappers in the world, but only a few that we couldn’t live without.

2006 was the year of Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and dance-pop songs. If you were putting together a playlist at the time, at least one, if not a combination, of such tracks would’ve been added. Even if you didn’t think Justin Timberlake really brought sexy back, someone at you party probably thought differently. Check out this class’s suggested playlist after the jump.

It seems like a long time ago, but the year started on a low note with the massive Haitian earthquake. A volcano in Iceland volcano erupted, disrupting flights all across Europe. In other awful news, the oil platform exploded, leaking oil everywhere. Thanks, BP. Not all was bad though, as the 33 Chilean miners were saved after a record 69 days. If you can’t remember the sounds of 2010, then you’ve got serious memory issues – but it saw the second (or third/fourth) coming of electronic music. Check out this class’s suggest playlist after the jump!

In retrospect, 2003 is the year of reinvention of the pop star. No longer were Disney kids like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera turning out cutesy songs for the under-17 set – or going through a “Can’t Be Tamed” phase. Instead, both Timberlake and Aguilera – as well as Beyoncé – knew that to have lasting careers, they need to produce songs to appeal to all ages – or at least to those under 30. In 2003, you didn’t need to be embarrassed to add “Crazy in Love” or “Rock Your Body” to your homecoming playlist alongside the latest trance track or The White Stripes. After all, everyone else had been listening to them all summer long, anyway. Check out this class’s suggested playlist after the jump.

2002 – that transition between nu-metal and bland alterna-rock, before pseudo-indie acts like The Strokes, after boy bands and before tween Disney stars, and a few years before a clear 1980s influence. Call it the doldrums or a musical dead zone. For any college kit putting together the perfect homecoming playlist at the time, this meant hunting high and low – at the record shop or on KaZaa – for the right dance tracks. Considering the most popular singles of the year were by Nelly, J. Lo, Chad Kroeger, or Avril Lavigne, taking a Top 40 approach made you look like a too-eager-to-impress and doltish high schooler, while going too obscure meant seeming like a snotty music nerd. Check out this class’s suggested homecoming party playlist after the jump.

We all have our favorite songs to listen to while we put ourselves under the influence while we’re out on the town. What is better than that, is when those songs are actually about getting messed up. It’s the ever-impressive double whammy. These are the top fifteen songs from that category.

AskMen today announced the results of their annual reader survey: the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2010. More than half a million votes were cast. The 2010 list seems to favor “rule breakers” who are engaging, unconventional, and speak frankly like Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien, and Jay-Z.

The Departed wannabe, The Town, ran this town (town being box office) this past weekend robbing the American public of $23 million. Ode to The Scarlet Letter, Easy A, whored its way to the #2 spot with $17 mil while M. Night Shyamalan’s Devil earned, 666,666,666. Jk, it got $12 mil. Alpha and Omega came in at #5, which probably won’t bode well for on… Click to read more

Before last night, I’d been wondering why the MTV Movie Awards still exist. I mean, does anybody really give a crap anymore? But that was before Sacha Baron Cohen “Bruno” dropped from the sky in angel wings (and no pants). When the wires got tangled, he fell into the crowd, landing on top of Eminem, giving him a taste of the ol’ undercarriage. Afterward, Eminem stormed off stage in a huff. TV doesn’t get much better than that.
