Because Weezer didn’t include enough YouTube memes in their first video for “Pork and Beans” they decided to “remix” it and throw in about a million more. Too much. WAY too much. I don’t get a lot of these, and I don’t really want to. I think the YouTube viral video era is coming to… Continue reading Weezer remixes “Pork and Beans” video and YouTube implodes

OMG Microsoft, please stop advertising forever: “The Songsmith Ad”
This hot item has been popping up on YouTube and YES. It apparently is a real, honest-to-God advertisement that Microsoft PAID MONEY FOR. Some executives saw this and said “Wow! What a great idea! Lets give gobs of money to the jackass [genius?] who made this!” Believe it or not, there are more, shorter ads… Continue reading OMG Microsoft, please stop advertising forever: “The Songsmith Ad”
Franz Ferdinand tries to be all Reservoir Dogs
Franz Ferdinand just released their video for their new single “Ulysses.” With their simple suits and skinny black ties I’m reminded of a certain Quentin Tarantino movie… Only in Scotland and much less badass (think jumping on beds and climbing trees in lieu of bleeding to death and cutting off ears). The band’s new album… Continue reading Franz Ferdinand tries to be all Reservoir Dogs

New Lonely Island Video: “We Like Sportz”
Well this came out a week ago, but somehow I completely missed it. The Dudes of The Lonely Island made “We Like Sportz” as a sequel to their older hit sensation “Just 2 Guyz.” It’s another of the songs sure to be featured on their upcoming release we talked about like forever ago (a month).… Continue reading New Lonely Island Video: “We Like Sportz”
Flashback: “Tighten Up”
In 1968, Houston-based R&B group Archie Bell and the Drells released a single called “Tighten Up,” which they say in the song is the music they “tighten up to.” It reached #1 on the charts and is considered a classic blah blah blah. The tight jam session that makes up most of the “verse” of… Continue reading Flashback: “Tighten Up”

Here’s a video… Continue reading A Death Cab/She & Him Wedding
