Try listening to the Starship song "We Built This City." Painful, right? Now try listening to it 324 times in a row.
Welcome to Russ Heller's world.
Heller is locking himself in a plexiglass booth for 24 hours and listening to the famously bad '80s track -- that Blender magazine named the worst song ever -- in an attempt to set a world record. Heller, a contributor to the mag says he is remarkably unfamiliar with the song.
We're guessing he'll know it pretty well by this time tomorrow.

Blender magazine released one of the most traumatic, comical, and true top 10 ten lists that has been released this year in the world of music. The 10 Songs That You Were Probably Conceived To.
As if picturing your folks having sex wasn't cringe-worthy enough, setting the scene to music borders on the sadistic. Here, we propose the parental playlist that wafted from the 8-track when skateboards had fat wheels, Homer Simpson had flowing brown hair and your folks were easing out of halter tops and bell-bottom jeans. Remember: If the master bedroom is rockin', for the love of God, DON'T COME KNOCKIN'!

Almost everyone has that guy at work who knows a little too much about Star Wars and Bruce Lee. The guy with the employee manual memorized and the boss' home phone on speed dial. That guy in NBC's hit "The Office" is Dwight Schrute, a character played by Rainn Wilson.
From Dwight to a sicko mortician in "Six Feet Under" to his current film "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" playing a wingman to Luke Wilson's character, Rainn is becoming a household name (even though it's a bit odd.)
Rainn cites his offbeat family for his comic sensibilities. "A crazy mix of hippie bohemian culture and white trash." That combined with a string of horrid jobs, including a grease ball insurance broker in New York where he would lie his way into offices to get appointments, paves the way for a genius comic career.
Read more about Rainn in the August issue of Maxim Magazine and see him in "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"starting today.

Some music rocks, while other music grooves. Blender Magazine has put together a list of the 25 Biggest Wusses Ever, and these artists just, well, whine.
Blender's list includes such notables as everyone in 'N SYNC (Except Justin), attacking the rest of the band's post-band careers or lack there of. They get some good digs in on Chris Martin of Coldplay for his "needy, apologetic tunes: He begs he pleads, he crumbles, he crawls." Nick Lachey gets no sympathy for his post divorce whine-fest in the article. " He makes Morrissey sound like a Pussycat Doll."
It's just not goody two-shoe's who get verbally smacked about. Heavy metal band Metallica are a target for their touchy-feely appearance in the documentary "Some Kinda Monster".
And who is the number one music wussie of all time? Find out for yourself in the August issue of Blender when the magazine hits newsstands July 18.
