Donna Mann of WHHZ Gainesville, FL recently took a vacation in Italy and spotted The Pink Logs. They had so much fun with her that she brought them back to her station and they even did a live to air remote with her husband, Nick. If you have the pleasure of seeing The Pink Logs in person, send your pictures to us.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING...YOUTUBE? In yet another unsettling sign that George Orwell just may have been the most prophetic man of the 20^th Century, last week federal judge Louis Stanton handed down a ruling requiring Google to make available to media conglomerate Viacom intimate details of YouTube users' viewing habits, including user names, IP addresses and lists of every video a user has ever watched. The ruling came as part of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit brought against YouTube and its corporate parent, Google, by Viacom. Curiously, the lawsuit wasn't filed until after the deep-pocketed Google had acquired YouTube from its-then relatively poor founders. Viacom stated that it needed the information to demonstrate that its copyrighted material, ranging from "South Park" to "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report," was routinely posted and viewed by YouTube users.

The ruling provoked an immediate outcry from a host of privacy advocates, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) pointing out that Judge Stanton's ruling seemingly overlooks the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), which was passed after a newspaper printed a list of then-Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork's video rental records. The EFF concluded, "The Court's erroneous ruling is a set-back to privacy rights, and will allow Viacom to see what you are watching on YouTube. We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad request and Google to take all steps necessary to challenge this order and protect the rights of its users."

For its part, Viacom said it has no plans to use the information to file lawsuits against YouTube users, a la the RIAA and file-sharers. In a statement, the conglomerate said that it had never asked for any personal identity data: "Any information that we or our outside advisors obtain--which will not include personally identifiable information--will be used exclusively for the purpose of proving our case against YouTube and Google, will be handled subject to a court protective order and in a highly confidential manner." Meanwhile, Google has asked for time to "anonymize" the logs before producing them pursuant to the court order, a request that Viacom was still considering at press time.

VIVA LA VIDA...OR, STEVE JOBS AND ALL HIS FRIENDS: Amidst all the glad-handing and back-slapping following the consecutive blockbuster sales weeks enjoyed by Lil' Wayne and Coldplay, a very significant statistic fell by the wayside, noticed by but a few. To wit: in a mere two weeks time, Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends has become the best-selling digitally downloaded album in history, racking up digital-only sales of 354,000 over 14 days. This eclipses previous record holder John Mayer, whose Continuum has sold 353,000 digital downloads in the almost two years since its September 2006 release. The rest of the Top 5 includes troubled diva Amy Winehouse's Back to Black at No.3 (with digital sales of 329,000), Daughtry's eponymous debut (323,000) at No.4 and Justin Timberlake rounding things out with FutureSex/LoveSounds (302,000).

In similar news, this week also witnessed Flo Rida's "Low" (featuring T-Pain) become the first digital track to reach sales of four million paid downloads. It continues a trend that's been growing exponentially: Black Eyed Peas were the first act to hit 500,000 paid downloads with "Let's Get It Started" back in February 2005 and it took another 10 months for the first song to attain the million-download mark (Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl"), followed by another 14 months before the two-million milestone was passed (Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" in December 2006). Souljah Boy Tell 'Em was the first to reach the three-million mark, with "Crank That Souljah Boy" in January of this year; now, less than half a year later, the four-million mark has also been conquered. Look for the five-million mark to disappear sometime this holiday season.

KunK - We're Not Who You Think We Are (Plastic Sun Records)

Alt-Rock band KunK makes sounds that have been known to stop wild boar in their quest for flesh. Creating a sound that is similar to the loveless child of The Sex Pistols meets early Green Day and the Pixies, KunK put on an energetic display on both their recordings and live show. KunK stepped up a gear with this new EP featuring "We Are Not Who You Think We Are" and giving them the tools to do so was producer Jack Ruston (Reuben, McQueen, Kubb, Tom McRae). The result of which is three tracks of slap-you-in-the-face-and-leave-you, ballsy yet delightful Alternative Rock. Early reaction airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 1) and John Kennedy (XFM), WNYE-New York, NY, KDLD-Los Angeles, CA, WKQX-Chicago, IL, WXPN-Philadelphia, PA, WFNX-Boston, MA, KEXP-Seattle, WA and many more. Have a listen to an emerging band from the hot bed of talent spilling out of the UK right now and check out other tunes at http://www.myspace.com/kunk or www.kunk.com

KP Acoustic

What does a former MTV VJ, a porn star, a TV/film actor and a rapper all have in common? They are all jobs found on the resume of Simon Rex, aka MC Dirt Nasty. Here at hushhush ATTACK!, we like to keep you entertained and as long as you have a sense of humor, the video featured this week will surely keep you occupied. With guest cameos from Andre Legacy, Cisco Adler, Mickey Avalon, DJ AM, Evidence, Redfoo of LMFAO and ALF, this clip pays homage to the 1980s...the way a lot of musicians spent their time. Warning to the kiddies, this video contains pretty much everything a rated R movie does, so if you are easily offended, we warned you!

Charlie bit me!

"NOISE" LOVERS: One can only imagine how many times the DJs that make up the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Song panel heard the frenzied parental cry, "Turn down that noise!"; this makes it particularly fitting that the comeback song from '90s Alt faves The Verve, "Love is Noise," ascends to the top spot of the Song chart this week. Concurrently, the full album, Four (On Our Own), leaps 13-3 on the Album end. Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe and company are doing the European festival circuit this summer, but there's still no word of any North American touring plans, alas. Top debut honors this week go to Omaha's The Faint, who bow at No.2 with "The Geeks Were Right," the first cut from their forthcoming album, Fasciinatiion (Blank.wav), which is hitting stores and cyberspace August 5 and clocks in at No.5 on the Album index. The Nebraskan quintet will be starting a month-long tour in support of the new album in Davenport, Iowa on July 27, followed by a two-week European jaunt; full details can be found at www.thefaint.com. The only other track to debut in the Top 10 on the Song chart this week is "Two Ways Out," which secures a position of No.6 for California quintet Darker My Love, helping their forthcoming full-length 2 (Dangerbird, also due August 5) gain the No.10 slot on the Album index. The act which has held the top slot on the Song side for the previous two weeks, The Hold Steady, drops to No.7 this week with "Sequestered in Memphis"...but can take solace in the fact that their full-length, Stay Positive (Vagrant), repeats the No.1 feat and tops the Album chart, dropping Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (Capitol) down to No.2.

A boss with no humor is like a job that is no fun.
