“I told you she didn’t have a dick.”

As if the original version wasn’t good enough, these kids made it 100 times better! I’m in love with this version! A fantastic rendition by the PS22 Chorus of 2010! only two rehearsals to get this performance!

Ok Go is known for having awesome music videos. They have done it again.

The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Syyn Labs (http://syynlabs.com/ ) over the course of several months. OK [...]

…Not quite.

I am at Boston University studying opera, and will graduate with a BM in Vocal Performance. More than a few non-musicians have asked me what exactly I do at school. “Do you just sing all day?” “Do you break mirrors singing high notes?” “When do you actually start working on your major?” “You’re not [...]

Dead Man’s Bones
Their influences include Disney’s Haunted Mansion, doo wop, and 60’s girl bands. Their first album released this past October on ANTI sounds like the dark blueprint for Karen O and the Kids Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack. Their CD has a heavy emphasis on their collaboration with the Silver Lake Conservatory Children’s [...]

The list is way longer than what I have compiled here, but for now, it’ll do.
LMFAO feat. Lil Jon – Shots (No matter where I am, or who I am with, I will leave and never return to that venue if hear this song. They played this song at MyHouse; that’s when you know a [...]

Most days, I usually don’t bolt out of bed with a grin on my face. I grumble, I mope, I doze for another five minutes, until I finally drag my sleepy ass out of bed. However, once up, I make a bee-line for my laptop and make sure the following songs are playing:
1. “Zero” – [...]

Remember when Michael and Janet Jackson dropped $7 million dollars to create the music video for “Scream”? Remember watching VH1’s Top 10 countdown when Creed, The Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty and Sugar Ray were still relevant? Remember how just very recently MTV dropped the “music” connotation that the “M” in its logo once signified. [...]

While the 80s certainly brought about tons of big hair, overdone makeup and cheesy music, there are some songs that I absolutely adore from this decade.
Enjoy!

I really hope none of these end up on the radio and get fucked by little 15 year old music-retarded assholes. Sorry, I used to proudly bump Phoenix, but now, I do it in the private of my room because KROQ plays it every five minutes…so I’ve been told. Fuck KROQ by the way! STOP [...]

This is merely the tip (which may or may not count) of the iceberg. I’d like to create an expansive list of songs that are far from great options to play as background music while losing one’s virginity. Hopefully this ever growing list can be used for years to come as a fail safe academic [...]

Miss Lucy Tonic provides us with the best information on everything music. She compiles the greatest play lists, introduces us to cool new music, publishes thoughtful album and concert reviews, and interviews rock stars. So what kind of person is Lucy? She acquiesced to answer a few of my silly questions.

On Monday, February 22, 2010, a musician, free spirit and genius would have celebrated his 42nd birthday.
This talent is none other than Bradley Nowell, the acclaimed front man of Sublime.

According to Rolling Stone Magazine, Bradley fell in love with music at a young age. Both his parents were musicians in some form, [...]

Their music calls to mind a groovier, psychedelic time of doe eyes and go-go boots, of Playboy Centerfolds who displayed tan lines and pubic hair. Make no mistake, though. The songs of Dean & Britta are timeless.

I have never seen a musical group that has been quite as mysterious and anonymous as Summer Camp. The internet is littered with back stories about the band, and even finding their music page on Myspace is somewhat less than a breeze. Listeners and journalists, after heavy snooping, have arrived at the consensus that the [...]

…or not. Having watched the NBA All-Star Game this past weekend as part of the largest audience to ever watch a basketball game (let’s put it this way-over 100,000 people saw the game in person; that’s more people than live in the capital of Wyoming), I began thinking of the great on-court talent we all [...]

Sitting on the edge of their upcoming full-length release “To Bed, To Battle”, alt-rockers Look Mexico are slowly hoarding a buzz that is very much deserving of attention. The five piece indie outfit shows hints of Minus the Bear and Of Montreal influence, while creating a unique sound that meshes swirly guitar riffs, thick drums, [...]

A beautiful video for a beautifully heartbreaking song.

Yes, I loathe this holiday and always have.
In that spirit, I bring you some songs about killing your significant other, and then some.

Boston electronica artist Andre Obin’s video for “Cinnamon”

So its been a while since a music videos creativity has impressed me. This one did not change that.
However I have to give the director credit for the window filming and 3d text editing.
How much do you think Kodak payed for that cellphone plug at the 3:02?
