Acronym-savvy readers might recognize those letters from Streisand's outburst at a recent New York show, where she dropped a couple of F-bombs on an audience member who took exception to the fact that the singer interrupted the flow of show tunes to lampoon fellow diva George W. Bush.
Unlike that disgruntled concertgoer, Gotham-based producer Lucian Plane, who plies his trade under the
nom de disque RevoLucian, found the Brooklyn brawler's rant to be music to his ears and wove it into a tune that's well on its way to winning over the Internet, one pelvis as a time.
Long, long ago, we can remember being buffeted with warnings that we'd go blind if we continued to indulge one of our bad habits. But no one ever said anything about vice leading to baldness -- until now. 
, the pop scene's leading vegan ascetic, says he's of the belief that his chrome dome is a direct result of his being totally immersed in the rave scene around the turn of the '90s. While we always pegged the state of the tiny terror's skull to an unnatural fondness for Yul Brynner, there's something perfectly sensible about his admission -- to the -- that "those early rave experiences contributed to me losing my hair.
It was a really fun period, but incredibly stressful. In 1991 or '92 I'd be doing three shows a night. I'd finally get back to London at seven in the morning, completely wiped out.

Somehow, we get the feeling that the Mobester missed a key word when trying to follow the oft-offered advice about maintaining healthy follicles with a daily dose of vitamin E.
"In some ways I just marvel at the fact I'm in the position to actually have a record contract and be able to release a 'Best of,'" he tells AOL Music. "I first got signed to this tiny little label in New York called Instinct Records, and I thought that my career as a recording artist would maybe last six months or a year, if I was lucky.
I still marvel at whatever clerical error has allowed me to have this weird, long career."
Having said that, he won't be taking this collection to the stage anytime soon. "I don't really like touring all that much.
Every tour started to feel the same," he says. "I'm going to Europe soon and I said, 'OK, I'll only do shows if I can do a concert in someone's living room and they make dinner for me.'
"One of the things that makes me depressed about [touring] is it becomes very anonymous and you don't ever actually get to talk to people.
I think playing in people's living rooms, at least you'd get to have more human contact with the people you're playing for."
It's been five years since Mark Linkous released a record under his guise. His upcoming release, 'Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain' (Sept.
26), might have taken longer had it not been for the help of a rather human superhero: 
"I got really wrapped up in my own head and couldn't work for probably three years, just from being secluded and letting things go in my mind. I always thought it was the end of the world and I was the only person that realized it," Linkous recounts of his crippling depression. "When the tracks started coming together from the Danger Mouse sessions, that revitalized my confidence a little bit.
When you're in that state, a little confidence can be really inspirational."
Linkous was turned on to Danger Mouse (a.k.
a. Brian Burton) after a friend sent him 'The Grey Album.'
"I was talking to my manager about people I'd like to collaborate with, and I was like, what about this band Danger Mouse?
I thought it was some really obscure band," he laughs. "It turns out he was a big Sparklehorse fan, and so we started talking. I'd tried to relay the direction that I wanted to go in -- sort of like 'Kid A,' but with really strong choruses and proper pop- constructed songs.
He was really down with that, so we got together. "
Meeting up in North Carolina, the two collaborated on a host of cuts, except when nature interfered.
"I had to cancel one day because my dog got bit by a rattlesnake," Linkous says.
"He lived. Luckily the vet had anti-venom.
Washington D.
C.-based DJs-producers Sharam Tayebi and Ali 'Dubfire' Shirazinia didn't contribute to the reported $20 million Ansari paid Russia for her 12-day interstellar trip. Instead, the duo provided the soundtrack to her mission with an original piece of music.
"She's the first female private space explorer, and the whole experience of doing that we thought was something very cool," Tayebi told AOL Music. "She's an Iranian-American [too], and so we thought we would do something for her Web site and sort of dedicate it to this historic mission."
As a lifelong astrophile, Tayebi said he was thrilled to add to Ansari's mission.
"I think everybody at some point or another looks in the skies and goes, 'Wow! What's out there?'" he said.
"And I'm a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I know Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock would be proud today.

Though the breezy dance artists headlined the second stage at California's Coachella festival a few years ago by rolling out their rotating cast of vocalists, Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker say they've cut their numbers down for the upcoming trek.
"It did get a little bit cabaret with people coming off and on," Hardaker tells AOL Music. "As much as I enjoyed all the individuals, I did sometimes feel like it was hard to really establish a relationship with a singer.
"
Aside from a cast of instrumentalists, Zero 7's numbers will be boosted by just two vocalists this time -- Swede and a longtime collaborator, the Aussie chanteuse . The band's trek sees them play the legendary Hollywood Bowl for the first time.
"Everyone I mention it to says that's the best place to play in L.
A.," Hardaker says. "You mention it to your mum and of course they're going to be thrilled -- 'Mum, I'm going to Hollywood.
'"
It looks like the wait for a new album may take a little while longer, thanks to the band's new gig composing the score for director upcoming flick, 'Sunshine.' 
According to frontman Karl Hyde, the electronic duo have been in and out of the Abbey Road studios writing original music for the upcoming sci-fi film. "We were really, really hungry to get back into the studio and work on our own album, but [Danny] got us in and showed us a rough screening," Hyde explains from his Essex, England home.
"We were completely hooked."
Starring a host of international actors, including 'Memoirs of a Geisha's' , Hyde says he and partner Rick Smith were enticed by the concept. "It's kind of a big budget sci-fi movie, and it's something quite extraordinary for Danny ['Trainspotting,' '28 Days Later']," Hyde recounts.
"He got some fantastic performances out of the actors."
It's helped Underworld with their productivity as well. "There's quite a sprawling palette of material now that we're picking out of," Hyde says about the follow-up to 2002's 'A Hundred Days Off.
' "We're not looking to have anything near to finishing until the end of November, but we're enjoying the process nonetheless."
Charissa Saverio, better know in the music world as , is making the leap to the big screen as the lead in writer-director Oklahoma Ward's 'Isolation,' an independent feature due next year. In addiiton, she will be doing all the music, which is how she got involved in the first place.
Saverio says she's turned down many parts and auditions over the years because they were "too vanilla," but she's having a blast doing 'Isolation.' "I learned how to fire a gun and drive a speedboat and a muscle car, and I've been working out like a demon," she says. "It's such a gritty part.
It's great."
The release of 'Isolation' will be part of a monstrous schedule that will also see the launch of Saverio's new Impropa Talent label, which will debut in February or March with five artists. Rounding out 2007 and her quest for world domination will be the unveiling of 'Party Like a Rock Star,' a track she wrote for to use for an artist yet to be determined.
