Britney?....

Whelp, Britney Spears is known for her dance music...but she seems to be falling behind in having ANY actual good beats & producers put something together that I could actually handle following. The last time I actually liked her was when she had The Neptunes produce her songs....what happened to actual good beats that people were moved by? It's been some time and Britney's new album didn't make the cut for me....kinda like that time she had a huge break down and shaved her head...........................................................I haven't forgotten about that, you probably shouldn't either. You can judge for yourself by listening to her entire album HERE

So in conclusion, Britney's new CD.....HAY-DA-IT!

S&M...

So, I finally caught the music video for Rihanna's new single "S&M" and all I kept thinking about was how it was fluffy like a Katy Perry music video would look, but it also reminded me of Madonna's Human Nature music video (remember that in 95?)... VIDEO

Now check out Rihanna's.... VIDEO

Which one was better? In my eyes, Madonna always wins, even when it comes to my lovely Lady Gaga,...Madonna still stepped on this earth before them, therefore she's the original ALWAYS. I'm tired of the knockoff's can we please get back something original!?!?!?? I have faith in these girls: Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga...stop drinking the Koolaid and come up with someone original!!!!! I know you steal songs, but at least stop stealing music video ideas too!

Thanks...

Fascinated by urinals?...me too

So I may be WAAAAY late with this one since Europe has had them around for such a long time (since 2006)...but it couldn't hurt for the USA to get one in certain places too (specifically around bar areas), I could name a few places: Adams Morgan, U St., K St., Dupont Circle, H St. NE, every "park" in the middle of the city.

It's a simple concept with a HUGE payback in a good way, the sweet smell of regular air, not one that someones been urinating on all night long would be a GREAT way to start the day wouldn't it?

How to Dance like Beyonce

How to dance like Beyonce...it does exist, please allow this wonderful voice-over to instruct you on how to do so, while you akwardly try to find out if the girl on screen is a dancer or a "dancer" (aka: stripper)...it's hard to figure out I know.

Or...you could learn how to dance like this guy too, but he only attracts ice cream trucks VIDEO

Something to make you not give up on music...

Every so often our ear drums are scared for life (ex: anything by Ke$ha) and then there are times where you can't stop talking about a band that you've just learned about that you want to share with all of your friends after you hit "play"...this group/ song is one of those.

The group WARPAINT won my ear drums after an amazing friend who has a keen skill for effortlessly scouting out musical talent sent me this YouTube video....because now-a-days the only groups that get played on mainstream radio are looped terrible songs (ex: Black Eyed Peas)....when the merge between major label executives & corporate radio executives decided that whatever they feel work will be played 24 hours a day...womp womp...

The group WarPaint's song "Bees" reminds me of the 90's when alternative/semi-indie rock bands began to blend with danceable beats (think Luscious Jackson), while playing with simple styles & sounds...it's a sound that I can dig and maybe you will too:

Good Programs on TV...

Are there any good shows left for the rest of us that have yet to discover? I hope so, I haven't been finding much on the larger networks and I feel like every time I turn on my TV, I become dumber for watching some new Reality TV show. Can we start calling them something else? Because lets be honest here for a second, those shows are scripted and are far from reality, they just use regular cameras and cast the DUMBEST HUMANS TO POSSIBLY ROAM THE EARTH, therefore calling it "Reality" ???...also, what has happened to our TV culture as a whole. Do you see yourself as more intelligent than you were 10 years ago? Or do you find yourself stuck, or what I see myself becoming....dumber.

I feel like I need to start only watching the following programs to keep my IQ up: Jeopardy, News Hour (PBS/ WETA), any historical documentary that holds significance to how our society is being shaped as a whole or repeating itself, Road Trip Nation (PBS), and anything on CURRENT TV (the network). Everything else is pure fluff...and it's not that I don't like that (because we all want to mentally escape our work lives/ days), but lets be honest, ALL the programs on TV are fluff. Nothing is original anymore, it's just a remixed version of something we saw in the 70's, 80's, or even the 90's. It's been done before. I am fearful that our most intelligent, witty and creative people have been axed by major networks because they're not drinking the Koolaid like the rest of them and for that simple fact, I will have to ban my TV. This doesn't include FILMS...only TV shows.

I don't even have cable and guess who benefits from that...me, because my pockets are fatter with cash than those who waste $100's on those crappy shows that you could watch online for free anyways, just delayed by 1 day or something. I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy my cash by GOING SOMEWHERE...not just my couch.

Nicki M.....and the beat goes on....

I call her the light skinned Lady Gaga of hip hop.....not kidding. With her candy cotton looking hair, snake Egyption nails etc....body suits. She's like a cartoon character, which I do dig because I LOOOOOOOOVE girls with a SHOW-OFF style (which she clearly has). She's cute too, her NY accent reminds me of an SNL skit (which I also dig). I'm not so sure I really like her trying to come off as "street"...all of that gets erased as soon as she opens her mouth and how she's dressed. If she walked the streets up in the Bronx you KNOW something would happen to her, hands down. So she walks in "her" area that she knows. I'm tired of the online "freestyle battles" anyways....that mess died when hip hop started falling off and going zig zagged etc.

It's just a show, nothing authentic, but because her lyrics can be highly entertaining (like the female version of Lil Wayne), I must give her some props for her cartoon style, and animated version she gives off to her audience. Here's some other clips of her from Lopez Tonight where you can learn a bit more about HER as a person etc. (she's got a sh** load of haters), that much I do know from other blogs and she did bother me when I first saw her because LADY GAGA already exists, this is just another variation of the copy cat. But most girls hate pretty girls anyways, so that's understandable and clearly what's happening in this "hateraide" as well, haha.
