what the fizzuck?

Okay so wait... this is real?? Tinted Windows is a real band? WHAT??

Tinted Windows are: Taylor Hanson of Hanson (lead vocals), James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins (guitar), Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne (bass), and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick (drums).

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?




Next on WTF?, Taylor Swift has a new video out...
it's... uh... featuring T-Pain.
Yeah, I did use that sentence.
There's not enough words to describe this. It's... you just have to watch this.
It's called Thug Story.



I either want to hit her or respect the hell out of her.
The promise ring is still a bit of a turn off though.

My Life's a Movie - Call Me Martin Scorsese

You know I want you...

Pitbull's back with a new single, Calle Ocho (I Know You Want Me). I love Pitbull. It's probably not healthy how much I love Pitbull. With hits like Toma, Fuego, and Go Girl, killer verses in Feel It, Shooting Star, and Shake, and sick remixes of songs like Low, Cupid's Shuffle, and What Goes Around Comes Around, Pitbull has officially gotten into our heads. And I don't want him to leave!! To quote Mary Murphy, "WHOOOOOOOO!!!" I love my boy Mr. 305.

Wait... what? WHAT??
We've had a blog or two about how Lady Gaga is... well.. Gaga. Nuts. Insane. Not only is there now an iPhone app that'll make you look like Lady Gaga, but... apparently Lady Gaga is BFF with... no, you didn't guess right... Marilyn Manson. Yes, Marilyn Manson. WHAAAAAAT. They're apparently remixing each others tracks now. ...yeah, I don't really get it either. I don't even know what else to say, you just have to watch this.

(thanks perez)


I'm already drunk!
So the Pussycat Dolls apparently did another "The Pussycat Dolls presents" and I missed it. The result was apparently the Paradiso Girls. And.... ehh.
They got the rights to a Keri Hilson demo called "Hey Girl", originally featuring Lil' Jon and T-Pain. The Paradiso Girls' version is called "Patron Tequila" and... i just don't like it. And I mean honestly, it's not put together well. I still hear Keri from the original version. And no T-Pain... awwwkward. I honestly like Keri's version more. For starters, Hilson isn't flat the whole time. Secondly, T-Pain. Need I say more? But you can be the judge of that yourself.


(for some reason, I could only find this awkwardly sped up version. The download link should have the original.)

Also, I'd very much like to go see Boyce Avenue at the World Cafe in Philadelphia on June 28th. Anyone wanna come? I'm almost willing to go with strangers at this point. I make a hot date.

Shake the Glitter off your Clothes

Hey guys.
Sorry I've been M.I.A. the past few days - I finally got Jam Sessions in the mail, and let me tell you it is addicting. I'm actually getting pretty good! I have a repertoire of around 26 songs!! Yay me.

However, to apologize for a missed week of blogs, today's post it what I'm going to start referring to as a "WTF" post. Sorta like my "monuments of disappointment" blog, but... stranger.

...yeah, I wouldn't be with you either.
So, #1 strange thing is the new music video by Rich Girl, an apparent Danity Kane knockoff. This video... I... I honestly wish there were words. Maybe there's just so many that I can't narrow it down. It's honestly a complete trainwreck. I've never seen anything so bad in my life. I mean, this is just... this is just awful. I mean... maybe rework the backbeat a little, and give the vocals a bit more of a range and the song could have a chance. The video... take it out back and shoot it. The "song" is called He Ain't With Me Now (Tho).




Glittery!
I want you to imagine the Backstreet Boys. Now, imagine they're all Robert Pattinson. No, not hot Robert Pattinson from Harry Potter, but scrawny, baked biter Robert Pattinson.
You've got V Factory.
But really though.... what the f#%&*? I... I can't even believe someone thought "hey, this is an awesome idea." This song/video is just.... buh.



She tango'd her way back into our hearts...
Lil' Kim is synonymous with Train Wreck at this point - it's no secret. She just got finished with Dancing with the Stars - so what's next for this talentless washup musical genius? No, I'm not being fair... all sarcasm aside, I really like Lil' Kim. It's just... well... she's the butt of a lot of my jokes. I definitely know all the words to her verse in Lady Marmalade. I have never listened to a song of hers before, but this one is something else. For starters, the track is technically Lil' Kim feat. T-Pain and Charlie Wilson... but not only is T-Pain uncomfortably absent in the video, but on mtV his name wasn't even listed in the credits - actually, neither was Charlie Wilson's. Derek Hough appears in the video though, but it's awkward since he's the only white person. Not only that, he's a white person that normally does ballroom dancing in glittery spandex, so he's really out of place.



I really don't understand what the music video world is coming to. I mean, I remember when making a music video was a huge, huge deal. Now, big stars get awkward crappy videos and small, awkward vampire boy bands get awesome videos for crappy music. And for all those that think that media doesn't tell us what to like or who to be, I got three words for you: The Jonas Brothers.
