Merry Christmas!

Here's a video treat from the Boys from Taking Back Sunday (Fun Fact: In the original formation of TBS, my mom's friend's son was the bassist!)

I remember saying a while back that

I really loved this video
(Umbrella - Rhianna)
and now I found this cover of it by this British band called McFly. It's really good and totally infectious.

Flight of the Conchords

A song about David Bowie

New Funness!

I just heard this canadian duo on MTV (what, music on MTV?)
Chromeo is a super funky, hip-hoppy pair of awesomness.
And according to their website:" is Pee Thug and Dave 1: best friends since their Montreal adolescence, virtuoso musicians, walking hip-hop encyclopedias, and the only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture. "
Here's their video for "Needy Girl" the lyrics of which are below to sing along!



Wanna be by yourself
And no one else
Alright
Now you wanna go out
Wanna scream and shout
Tonight
You want some space
Now get out of my face
Alright
Now you want me back
Put your life on track
Tonight

You're a needy girl
I can tell when I look in your big brown eyes
You want my world
But how can I do yours if I can't do mine?
I try to change
But somehow it's weird I don't feel the same
It's all about
What you want
What you say
How you feel
How you play the game

You're a needy girl
And you want my world
I try to change
But it's not the same

[Hello?
Hey, what's up baby.
Yeah, I'm in the studio right now, I'll call you later.
No, I really can't talk right now, I'll just call you back, alright?
No, I can't talk right now, I'll just call you later.
Yo, what?
Yo, I can't - look - whatever.]

When you're home alone
You don't answer the phone
Alright
But it's like a crime
If I don't answer mine
Tonight
So you found a man
And he's more than a friend
Alright
But you still call me
For some TLC
Tonight

You're a needy girl
I can tell when I look in your big brown eyes
You want my world
But how can I do yours if I can't do mine?
I try to change
But somehow it's weird I don't feel the same
It's all about
What you want
What you say
How you feel
How you play the game

You're a needy girl
And you want my world
I try to change
But it's not the same

By the way...

How much did Brittney Spears Suck?
Very Much.

First The Spice Girls, Now this?

I for one was quite a fan of Good Charlotte when they burst onto the scene with their overly-played Pop "punk" songs, so infectious it would get into your brain and stay there. forever.
And so, they are now back with a vengance(with pals Avenged Sevenfold-wtf?) and have an actually...dare I say it...slightly decent song?!
I present you with The River by Good Charlotte Feat. Avenged Sevenfold



And if that wasn't great enough, I've decided to take you on a walk down memory lane, with some music videos from some of their past 'hits' :D

Flight of The Concords

My friend just discovered this show that's new on HBO and it is basically my personality in two guys from New Zeland. Anywho, It's about these two 'mates' who are in a band. and so, I decided to kick off the summer portion of my blogoramma, here is the music video for "I'm Not Crying" +the lyrics, so you can sing along :D



I'm Not Crying

So, you’re leaving, aren’t you?
I knew it when you said just then when you told me you were leaving
That’s when I definitely knew
But if you’re trying to break my heart
Your plan is flawed from the start
You can’t break my heart, it’s liquid
It melted when I met you
And as you turn around to leave
Don’t’ turn back to me
Don’t turn around and see if I’m crying
I’m not crying
I’m not crying
It’s just been raining on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my face
Please don’t tell my mates
I’m not crying
No, I’m not crying
And if I am crying
It’s not because of you
It’s because I’m thinking of a friend of mine who you don’t know who is dying
That’s right, dying
These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
I’ve just been cutting onions
I’m making a lasagna
For one
Oh, I’m not crying
No
There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland
I’m not upset because you left me this way
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
They’ve been seaching around
They’re like searching for you
They’ve been looking around
Even though I told them not to
These aren’t tears of sadness
They’re tears of joy
I’m just laughing
Ha ha ha-ha haSo, you’re leaving, aren’t you?
I knew it when you said just then when you told me you were leaving
That’s when I definitely knew
But if you’re trying to break my heart
Your plan is flawed from the start
You can’t break my heart, it’s liquid
It melted when I met you
And as you turn around to leave
Don’t’ turn back to me
Don’t turn around and see if I’m crying
I’m not crying
I’m not crying
It’s just been raining on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my face
Please don’t tell my mates
I’m not crying
No, I’m not crying
And if I am crying
It’s not because of you
It’s because I’m thinking of a friend of mine who you don’t know who is dying
That’s right, dying
These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
I’ve just been cutting onions
I’m making a lasagna
For one
Oh, I’m not crying
No
There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland
I’m not upset because you left me this way
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
They’ve been seaching around
They’re like searching for you
They’ve been looking around
Even though I told them not to
These aren’t tears of sadness
They’re tears of joy
I’m just laughing
Ha ha ha-ha ha
Sitting at this table called love
Staring down at the irony of life
How come we’ve reached this fork in the road
And yet it cuts like a knife?
I’m not crying
I’m not crying
I’m not cry-y-y-y-
-y-y-y-y-ing

Believe it or not, the people who brought you the heart wrenching, oceans deep song, Barbie Girl, had more than one song-Go Figure!
Here it is: Lollipop by Aqua!




Lyrics
Oooh, I am the candyman
Oooh, comin’ from bountyland
Oooh, I am the candyman
Oooh, comin’ from bountyland

I wish that you were my lollipop
Sweet things, I will never get enough
If you show me to the sugar tree
Will you give me a sodapop for free

Come with me, honey, I’m your sweet sugar candyman (oooh)
Run like the wind, fly with me to bountyland (oooh)
Bite me, I’m yours, if you’re hungry, please understand (oooh)
This is the end of the sweet sugar candyman

Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, your word is my command
Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, let us fly to bountyland

Oooh, you are my lollipop
Oooh, sugar sugar top
Oooh, you are my lollipop
Oooh, sugar sugar top

I wish that I were a bubble gum
Chewin’ on me, baby, all day long
I will be begging for sweet delight
Until you say I am yours tonight

Come with me, honey, I’m your sweet sugar candyman (oooh)
Run like the wind, fly with me to bountyland (oooh)
Bite me, I’m yours, if you’re hungry, please understand (oooh)
This is the end of the sweet sugar candyman

Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, your word is my command
Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, let us fly to bountyland

Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, your word is my command
Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, let us fly to bountyland

I am the candyman
Comin’ from bountyland
I am the candyman
Comin’ from bountyland

Comin’ from bountyland

Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, your word is my command
Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, let us fly to bountyland

Oooh, you are my lollipop
Oooh, sugar sugar top
Oooh, you are my lollipop
Oooh, sugar sugar top

Album of the week: The Apples In Stereo-Velocity of Sound

The Apples In Stereo-Velocity of Sound

I recently discovered The Apples in Stereo, and I immediately fell in love. They've got a pop rock sound, while still being their own, and The lead singer has a very distinct voice.
I basically listen to them all the time now, and this CD is excellent driving music.

my favorite song on the album is deffinitely Please:
and here's the video for it:




I give Velocity of sound by The Apples In Stereo (***1/2) out of 5 stars.
