By the time you got to Woodstock ...
OK, so you're an ex-hippie and you blew it: You had a chance to trek to Yasgur's farm in upstate New York in the summer of '69 -- to some sort of Woodstock peace and music thing. But you said, "Pass."
Now, however, it's easier than ever to bluff friends and strangers with tales of your exploits at Woodstock among Jimi, Janis, The Who, the mud and naked guys and chicks. Just pick up "Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut -- 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition" (with an Amazon exclusive bonus disc).
While filmmaker Michael Wadleigh released his director's cut more than a decade ago, this four-disc box set includes over three hours of new bonus content, including "newly discovered," entire performances by Santana, The Who, The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.
As noted, Amazon.com says they are offering an exclusive disc. As of press time, the box is available at Amazon for $44.99.

Guys, don't mess with Mariah
Check out the lyrics from this new dis song: "You're a mom and pop, I'm a corporation. I'm the press conference, you're a conversation ... Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex, seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex."
No, that's not a salvo from one of hip-hop's greatest beefs, Jay-Z vs. Nas. Rather, the above lyrics are from the song "Obsessed" by sweet little ol' Mariah Carey.
Of course, Mariah doesn't deliver her verbal scuds with acid coating her glorious pipes. Instead, she coos her put-downs with a dove-like voice over a bouncy, mid-tempo tune.
Hear "Obsessed" at myspace.com/mariahcarey. It's from her album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," due out Aug. 25.

Peek at stars' iPods
Glance at someone's iPod play list and you can tell as much about that person as you can by sneaking a peek at his or her diary.
So hats off to the folks at playlisted.com, who make it their mission to find out what musicians and movie stars are listening to.
Actor Hugh Jackman cranks up Godsmack (but only when he's working out). Velvet Revolver/Guns n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum loves him some M.I.A. along with his Led Zep and Kings of Leon.
Actor Seth Rogen has a jones for "Over, Under, Sideways, Down," that psycho blues-rock rave-up by the 1960s rock band the Yardbirds. My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero is into Otis Redding and Percy Sledge, those venerable 1960s soul men.
