Sebastian Wants You To Dance With Gaddafi and DSK [VIDEO INTERVIEW]
COED was able to catch up with Sebastian [no longer SebastiAn] at Electric Zoo a few weeks ago. After seeing his DJ set, packed with his awesome sound and tracks from his new album Total, I was more than a little surprised. As he was rocking one of the better sets that weekend, he simultaneously showed some pretty depressing footage from films and the news. I wanted to learn more about how he came up with the idea of getting a bunch of ravers to cut the rug to war footage and dictatorial threats. Check out our exclusive interview with the French legend after the jump!

Sorry For Party Rocking With LMFAO [PHOTOS, VIDEO]
If you had asked me two weeks ago to write a review of a LMFAO DJ set, I would’ve been almost insulted. Yes, I’m a real d*ckhead when it comes to music. So when my less-than-knowledgeable friend asked me to join him last Thursday to see Redfoo (from LMFAO) DJ, I only went because I hadn’t seen him in awhile. In no way, shape, or form was I prepared for the stupid-fun party that awaited me. Check out the full story including pics and videos from the wild night after the jump.

Luckily, we still have the Video Music Awards, an event filled with unpredictability, shock value, and raw live music. Today, we look at some of the biggest omissions from this year’s nominations.

Sciryl Is The World’s Fastest Rapper [VIDEO]
So, I’m on the subway last Friday, tired as sh*t from another devastating work week, and all I want to do is shut my eyes and bathe in silence when these two excitable motherf*ckers hop on last second. I don’t pay much attention and I try to shut them out. Then the announcement comes, “Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen-” F*ck. More people looking for a handout. Then, they launch into their act. The rapper goes OFF. I’ve heard Busta. I’ve heard Twista. But this dude shredded the English language. We arrive at the destination and ask if they have a site. “I saw you guys dot com,” the rapper says. Read more about the world’s fastest rapper after the jump.

SuperTooth’s Disco Speakers Bring The Funk AND The Noise [TECH]
Everyone is looking for an affordable speaker that you can really rock out to on the go. Sure, you can plug in one of those portable Radio Shack-type speakers that runs off a few “AA” batteries and listen to all of 1 watt of power that’s lower volume than a flushing toilet. Alternatively, you could cop a SuperTooth Disco and party anywhere. I’d suggest the latter. I own one, so I know. Check out our review after the jump!
