I've got a couple new music videos to show you guys.
First is the video for OneRepublic's newest release, All The Right Moves. It's actually a pretty decent song, and while it's still a droner, it's a lot more upbeat than the work from their last album.
In stark contrast, we have the music video for Cobra Starship's Hot Mess, a video that glorifies binge drinking and drunk driving. ...and yet, I love it.
Tune in next time when I do a full album review of the Liberty Gigoloz, a hip-hop duo based out of Philiadelphia!

ohwowrad
No really, I'm not being sarcastic. Wade Robson is choreographing these VMA West Side Story inspired spots. This one is featuring Cobra Starship, Leighton Meester, and Ivan Koumaev (SYTYCD S2)
Legit, this is rad.

Hot Mess - Album Review
Yo, what up, iPod fans! Sorry I haven't updated anything useful in like forever, so let me make up for it with a full-on, track-by-track album review of Hot Mess by Cobra Starship.
1. Nice Guys Finish Last
It's a pretty good starter track for the album... it follows in the footsteps of the lead single. GGGB. Is it anything special? It's not single-worthy, but maybe mix-cd worthy.
2. Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous
The title of this came from something some disgruntled music fan said to them once. It's a strong track, but has kinda weak, radio-friendly lyrics that aren't anything terribly special. I love the track though - it makes a really good Getting-Ready-For-The-Bar Worthy song.
3. Good Girls Go Bad (GGGB)
This is a stellar track. Absolutely the most single-worthy track on the CD. I love Leighton Meester, and she was the absolutely perfect addition to this track. I'm very glad they chose to include her on this track.
4. Fold Your Hands Child
Eh... this track's okay. It's a bit slower, which kinda cuts the early feel of the album. If you're dowloading it track-by-track and you want to conserve money, feel free to leave this track out.
5. You're Not in on the Joke
This is a nice track... more of a Private Playlist track though, listen to it on your long walk to work.
6. Hot Mess
This is one of the better tracks on the album, but I don't think it's that awesome that the album got named after it... the lyrics are pretty shallow and pedantic (family guy reference!!) but it's still a decent track. Maybe mix cd or getting-ready-for-the-bar worthy.
7. Living in the Sky with Diamonds
This is a really nice disco-infused track with soft vocals reminiscent of their song "The Ballad of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl" from When the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets.
8. Wet Hot American Summer
This track is nice, but nothing spectacular. It won't be on my playlist, but I'm not sad that I have it.
9. The Scene is Dead; Long Live the Scene
This is a slower track that sounds like something you'd hear more on When the City Sleeps, so it's got a nice Cobra Throwback feel... but more of a Private Playlist track, or a mix cd for someone you've already made a whole bunch for.
10. Move Like You Gonna Die
I've listened to this song a bunch of times, and I still can't make up my mind on how I feel about it. Like... I like it, but it also doesn't feel terribly original for them. It's meant to be another punk club song and I wouldn't be surprised if they put out a video for it... but I don't see it going anywhere.
11. The World Will Never Do
I. Love. This. Song. It's got a whole mess of play count because I love it so much. It's kind of fantastic. ...then again, I think it's one of those songs that gets in my head. I think it's what Cobra would do if they were offered the next Bond theme song. I think it's fly.
BONUS TRACKS
12. I May be Rude, but I'm the Truth
Eh, it's not terribly different than the other tracks, but it's still good.
13. Cobras Never Say Die
This song does not live up to it's title. 'nuff said.
As a whole, I actually really like this album... but track-by-track, sometimes it's hard to distinguish one track from another. Cobra hasn't really evolved as much from their last album as I'd expect them to. I kind of miss their Decaydance Punk Rock feel they had with When the City Sleeps, since Viva La Cobra and Hot Mess have a far stronger synth-pop feel than their predecessors:
I also noticed that a lot of albums have themes, and Hot Mess' theme involves referencing past songs. They're only very slight references that may even be coincidental, but for a stark Cobra fan, they're noticeable.
In Fold Your Hands Child, lyrics include "Fuck Shit Up," which is likely homage to their track I Kissed a Boy, and the line "do whatchu gotta do" which is from Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous (the first track leaked from the album)
In You're Not in on the Joke, Gabe says "I'll only show you what you want to see" and other such lines that give it the same theme and a lot of the same phrases from their song Kiss My Sass from Viva La Cobra.
In The Scene Is Dead; Long Live the Scene, the line "Dance all Night" is repeated, just like in their second single from When the City Sleeps, Hey Mr. DJ.
While I like this album, I think Cobra needs to take a break from touring and really focus on evolving the band. From When the City Sleeps to Viva La Cobra, only just over a year had passed. While they had almost a two year break to make Hot Mess, they never really took a break from touring to really settle down and make new, original material. From When the City Sleeps, I was mildly disappointed in Viva la Cobra, though I loved Guilty Pleasure, My Moves are White (White Hot that Is) and Kiss My Sass. This CD is an awesome CD, but few tracks stick out in my mind like songs from their past CDs have.

Yes!!
Cobra Starship has finally released the video for the smash hit Good Girls Go Bad!
Not only that, but Sean Paul has released a video for a song that's been tearing up my ipod for about a month now, So Fine.

Miserable at Best
Pardon the sloppy editing: I'm still getting used to this whole "blogging" thing.
I thought we were done with Avrilites...
Just Jack. ...just kidding. Just Kait is aforty year old hooker 17 year old singer/songwriter. She plays drums, she plays guitar, she plays bass, she sings... and she'll kick your ass. ...or just complain about how much her parents suck 'cuz they won't let her get a tramp stamp lower back tattoo of a flaming dragon coming out of a decayed skull breathing fire and hate. And I mean, don't preps just suck? Like, omg. They should all die. PUnkS t0TaLLy RooLe.
Well, according to this music video for U Suck, they should allhave sex with make out with each other.
I can support that.
(Note: this song is the theme song for Parental Control, the realidating show on mtv. Considering that first aired in 2006, that makes this song 3 years old... even though this music video is is just now circulating on mtv, it was recorded when she was 14. At least that's older than Jojo.)
You can have it. Really, I don't mind.
Taking Back Sunday is... well... back. Their new single, Sink into Me, isn't half bad. It kinda really deviates from past Taking Back Sunday ventures - Now on their third singer (Originally Fred Mascherino and John Nolan. John Nolan left to co-create Straylight Run and was vocally replaced by bassist Matt Rubano. Fred Mascherino left the band to create The Color Fred, and the band is now lead vocally by Matt Fazzi, originally of Facing New York) ...where was I? Right. Now on their third lead singer, they've gone towards the solo singer direction, leaving the traditional Taking Back Sunday dual vocalist sound in the dust. I'm not sure how I feel about a band with more ex-band members than current ones, but I'll take my chances. The song isn't half bad, but don't listen to it expecting the authentic Taking Back Sunday feel.
Taking Back Sunday - Sink into Me
ooon-ca ooon-ca ooon-ca
Okay, let's get this out there. In general, I hate gay music. I hate it. It either sounds like the noise ferrets make when they take meth, backed by a music video with two half-naked men running on the beach, freeze-framing mid-jump with the words "love conquers all" superimposed on the screen in pastel pink; or it's some guy with no vocal talent who got himself a record deal because he's gay and marginally attractive.
Not Matt Alber.
Matt Alber not only has a beautiful voice, but he's not too hard on the eyes. While a good chunk of his music sounds a bit Postal Service meets the Garden State soundtrack, his single End of the World is a beautiful ballad of a broken heart. Check out the music video, it's amazing. Note: there's no CGI, special effects, nothing. When the sun comes in like that, it's because they took careful planning and got it right the first time.
Weird Al: "My mind is in suburbia, soccer moms and avrilites"
Punk Goes... is a series that's been around for a while, and it's really quite a favorite of mine. I love the Punk Goes Acoustics, but my favorites are the Punk Goes Pops. Punk Goes Pop Volume 2 was released recently, chock full of covers of your favorite pop songs. While almost all the tracks are pretty stellar, there's a few that really stick out. The Cab did an awesome job covering Disturbia, though their tendency to abuse the auto-tuner makes me wonder if it's really a punk cover. (not that I really care, I'm gonna listen to it anyway. Other people care though.) Mayday Parade slays the competition with their rendition of When I Grow Up. Basically, few things make me happier than that song. ATTACK ATTACK! did a cover of I Kissed a Girl which personally, I find a little unnecessary, considering they're guys. At least go the Cobra Starship route and sing I Kissed a Boy. Come on people. Silverstein did an awesome cover of Apologize (originally by OneRepublic) totally changing the sound. School Boy Humor did the same with Realize (originally by Colbie Caillait) completely changing the sound of the song for the better. Give them a listen, then comment and tell me your favorite!
The Cab - Disturbia
Attack Attack! - I Kissed a Girl
Silverstein - Apologize
Mayday Parade - When I Grow Up

Next Time!
Keep reading to see all the reasons I hate Eminem, say something nice about Keri Hilson, maybe make a joke at Lindsay Lohan's expense, completely abuse strikethrough humor, andhang out with Gary Busey question my life decisions.

Honey is for Bees, silly bear,
I'm frustrated. Halfway through this blog, firefox crashed. Boo.
Anyway, you may be wondering what credentials I have to be talking about music.
I don't.
I'm not indie. I'm not cool. I haven't even been to that many concerts.
(Just for the record, I've seen Meg & Dia, Say Anything, Jack's Mannequin, Jimmy Robbins, William Tell, Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low, and Fall Out Boy. In that order. A few of them were together.)
But that's the thing - I don't have a motive. I don't wanna tout how cool my music is in comparison to yours. I listen to Fall Out Boy for crap's sake, I know I'm not cool.
But I do like music. A lot. A whole lot. I love talking about music. So that's what I'm going to do.
Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous
Okay, so here's the deal. I have a love/hate relationship with some of the bands on Decaydance records. We're going to start with The Cab. They have a pretty nice sound... a little manufactured, but that's to be expected in today's world. They're kinda... weird looking. They kinda look like they don't fit. But hey, it happens. Now let's talk about Hey Monday. I don't like them because Pete Wentz is shoving them down my throat - at the Believers Never Die part deux tour, she wormed her way on stage during almost every other band and sang a chorus or two. (incidentally, Cobra Starship made a song for their new cd, Hot Mess, called "Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous") On top of it, from what I understand, they're kinda dicks at concerts. I like them because I love Cassadee's voice. A lot.
On Fall Out Boy's Citizens for our Betterment Mixtape (produced by Clinton Sparks,) The Cab remade their song Take My Hand, now featuring Cassadee.
And I love it.
A whole lot.

Maria Mena (who is Norweigian and Nicaraguan) was famous back in the day for her single "You're the Only One". She's back again with her newest album which is, of course, only available in Norway. Because the rest of the world hates America. The 22 year old pop/contemporary artist has had a few number one singles and has had two of her songs featured on the hit series So You Think You Can Dance? Her newest single is called All This Time (Pick-Me-Up Song). It's an absolutely adorable, sickeningly sweet pop song that actually does kinda pick me up. The rest of the album isn't as sweet - she opens up about the eating disorder she used to suffer from, and the anguish of having an ever-present and demanding mother. She's an amazing artists, and I hope everyone gets the chance to get into her work.

Who doesn't love a Remix?
Going to see Fall Out Boy was like a dream come true. They were awesome... okay, maybe a little too political for my tastes, but awesome nonetheless. Pete was all "Oh, overthrow Corporate America, boo to the man!" Besides the fact that they are the man, I really just wanted them to get over it and play some Goddamn music. I don't go to McDonalds for the atmosphere, and I don't go to concerts to get preached at.
While there, they previewed a "lil" remix they had off their new iTunes B-Sides album release called "America's Suitehearts: Remixed, Retouched, Rehabbed and Retoxed"
This B-Side offers two remixes of America's Suitehearts, one by Mark Hoppus and one by Lil' Wayne. It also offers a beautiful acoustic song called Lullabye, along with an acoustic version of America's Suitehearts.

They don't make 'em like us anymore
What If?, from Meg and Dia's new album Here, Here, and Here is basically an amazing song. The choruses are a little weak, but the verses are strong and full of power. If you're not into this band yet, I highly suggest you get your ass in gear. Their newest single is called Black Wedding. Did I mention I saw them in concert a couple years ago? Oh my god, they're amazing.
There might be a test for that?
Your Sex is on Fire is the new single by Kings of Leon. To be honest, this is the first song I've ever heard from them. And I LOVE it. They play it all the time at Reed's, and while it may be a thinly veiled STD reference, it makes me happy.
Next Time: William Tell, The Medic Droid, and more!

Welcome to my newest blog, Alex's iPod. I've seen so many music blogs that are all about indie music or proving how much cooler than everyone else they are. Well... that's not how I roll. Yeah, I like the occasional indie stuff. But I also listen to Fall Out Boy and Flo Rida. Mainstream doesn't suck. Simple as that.
Kelly Clarkson will not have sex with you... but she will make out with you in front of the whole family.
The American Idol's newest single is called I Do Not Hook Up.
Let's be real for a second - we all know Kelly's not been the same since Breakaway. It's just not the same. Whoever was writing for her has to get their ass back in there. However, this new single, it's... well.. it's... uh... strangely catchy. Yeah, okay, it's not bad! I kinda like it. The video is a little pretentious and strange, but it does remind me what KC is like wasted. Man, does that bring up some memories.
Go watch the music video on youtube, then watch this video of KC wasted at a concert and being an all-around badass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id1Ayo-G4eU

Just kidding, I actually have mad respect for Ashley Tisdale.
I mean, she got through High School Musical without turning to Alcohol. Wish I could have done that.
Her newest song is called It's Alright, It's OK. Please watch the video. Oh no, I'm not saying it's good, not by any stretch of the imagination. But use your imagination... does it remind you of something? No? Hmm. Well, I said I missed old school KC, I'm glad ATis is attempting to turn that around...
P!nk has attachment issues... who knew?
P!nk's new single is called Please Don't Leave Me. I think it's funny that her last albums name was "I'm not Dead Yet" considering she hasn't stopped putting out number one songs since the 1990's. My mom set me up with a girl once who was just like Pink. We went to the skating rink for three hours. I had bruises for three months. ...that might explain a lot...
Check out the video for Please Don't Leave Me, it's a killer music video.
Imma Be bored
Black Eyed Peas, come on. You've really fallen from the days of Hey Mama and My Humps. Don't get me wrong, Boom Boom Pow was good, but... well... it could have used some work. I miss the slight reggaeton feel you guys had. Imma Be is, honestly, a terrible song. Really. Please, please, go back to your roots, k? Or at least the ones you had once Fergie quit Methand got the sex change.
Gossip Girl Bites Back
Good Girls Go Bad is the new single by Cobra Starship feat.Blair WaldorfLeighton Meester.
This is a fantastic song. Okay, yeah, Gabe didn't write it andBlair Leighton can't sing worth anything, but damn. This is going to be a bad girl anthem for a while.
Weightless
I'm not going to make a snarky title. Weightless, the new All Time Low single, is amazing. Let's just say I've been listening to it on repeat. There are few things I recommend more than this song.
Kelly Clarkson will not have sex with you... but she will make out with you in front of the whole family.
The American Idol's newest single is called I Do Not Hook Up.
Let's be real for a second - we all know Kelly's not been the same since Breakaway. It's just not the same. Whoever was writing for her has to get their ass back in there. However, this new single, it's... well.. it's... uh... strangely catchy. Yeah, okay, it's not bad! I kinda like it. The video is a little pretentious and strange, but it does remind me what KC is like wasted. Man, does that bring up some memories.
