Sampling Gawker’s New Music Blog

It’s been no secret that Gawker’s been readying a Music blog for at least a couple of months. Blogebrity has now uncovered new details — the site’s moniker, url. and a couple of sample posts.

Gawker’s music outpost will go by the name of Idolator (currently password-protected), and judging by what we’ve seen, we’re guessing it will launch sometime within the next couple of weeks.

As an added bonus, thanks to the miracle of the Google cache we can share two preview posts from Idolator with you (after the jump). Judging by this (notably small) sample, it seems Idolator will cover anything containing a musical note — even if it’s Tony Snow doing his best Ian Anderson.

YouTube-Tied: Tony Snow Blows

Intrigued by a snippet on last night’s Daily Show, we hunted down this YouTube clip of White House press secretary (and avid Jethro Tull fan) Tony Snow throwing down some flute loops on “Stormy Monday,” accompanied by one of the guys from Mountain. It’s hard to make a sideburn-deprived Bush-administration bigwig seem even more honkified, but this pretty much does the trick.

Puff Daddy Tries To Thuggen Up Skin-Care Endorsement
An inexclipable, unfunny rant from Diddy–just one of many to be found on his new YouTube series. Will they let him keep his free renewing cleansers after realizing he doesn’t even know how to spell “Proactiv”?
