July 1. Somehow today feels officially like summer. Here are my music favs for summer so far. David Guetta & Chris Willis, Ft. Fergie & LMFAO – “Gettin Over You” http://youtube.com/watch?v=hWjrMTWXH28 Stromae – “Alors on Danse” http://youtube.com/watch?v=GJCQDd4vYjg Mike Posner – “Cooler than Me” http://youtube.com/watch?v=mqWq_48LxWQ Scissor Sisters – “Fire with Fire” http://youtube.com/watch?v=3FV2ILnnTa0 Gramophonedzie – “Why Don’t [...]
Today, Lady Gaga’s style is mainstream and (remixed) classic Jazz, Paris nightclubs, the 1920s, suits and oxford wingtips are counter culture. Makes your head spin a little. “Tightrope” by Janelle Monae ft. Big Boi http://youtube.com/watch?v=xktMnfb0Q0A “Dancer in a Daydream” ft. the one and only Christian Louboutin, wearing his own red-soled shoes, of course. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CePRufPqflc”
The production and subsequent popularity of the “Midd Kid” song shows there is an interest in unraveling the layers, peeking behind closed doors and glossy magazine pages to catch a glimpse of what life is really like. Here are a few articles worth reading this week that peer deeper into issues like poverty, big business [...]
Yes, this is where I go to school. “Midd Kid” by the Allen Jokers More on MiddBlog and the Allen Jokers website.
Valentine’s Day has never really meant much to me, probably because I’ve never had anything that so much as resembles a relationship that’s lasted longer than 3 weeks. I usually just get underwear from my grandmother. I did get a rose once from a boy in high school. I kinda freaked out. He never talked [...]
I saw Editors live in Summer of ’07 in London and immediately fell in love. Here’s their newest music video for “You Don’t Know Love.” It’s freaky, I know. But isn’t it great to hear Tom Smith’s voice again?
Joss Stone’s new song, “Governmentalism” (some versions of it feature Nas), combines a sexy sound with a very un-sexy subject matter — borderline anarchy — which means it packs a punch. Enjoy the song below and tell me it’s not the perfect song to play while applying expensive perfume and sliding into a little black [...]
Boy it’s been awhile since I posted. Seriously, there have been 3 episodes of “Warehouse 13″ since this post and the previous. I wish I could say I’ve been so incredibly uber busy that I just haven’t had time, but, sadly, that’s not true. Here is what I’ve been up to: Interviewing: I had 3 [...]
My freshman roommate just reminded me of this song and how we used to wake up to it every morning. I’m so excited to have rediscovered it. There’s something about the lyrics and the juxtaposition (god I hate that word) of talking about punk rock but not being a punk rock song that it is [...]
So I have two options: 1) Give my parents my iPod and throw down a couple hundred quid for a new one or 2) Keep my scuffed up iPod Classic and fill it up with sweet mixes to burn for my parents so they stop listening to Blessed Union of Souls for the summer. Option [...]
