My sister just bought Friday from iTunes. I have created a monster.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Attention Bubblegum Aficionados (yes, I'm looking in a Hecubot direction): Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) and Euros Childs (Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci) have a new project called "Jonny" that is bubbletastic! You can stream the whole album for free here: [link]
Thanks, Jon, that looks fantastic!
I've always loved Norman's gummier projects.
My job here is done.
Rebecca Black's "Friday" as radical text
Brilliant.
Her cultural debt is less to Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles than Vicki the robot girl from Small Wonder
Holy crap, that's who she reminds me of.
And why, after speaking her name, does he talk not of the front seat, but the front side, known slang for female genitalia?
wait, what?
From radical text to death metal parody: [link]
I love this article from the Village Voice.
How many of the number 1 hits of Boyz II Men can you name? They have had 5. VV asked 15 music critics and none could name all 5.
Guess before you click:
How many of the number 1 hits of Boyz II Men can you name?
I have no doubt that Jesse can win this game.
I can only think of two off the top of my head. "MotownPhilly" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye."
eta: Well, shit, I didn't get any right. But "MotownPhilly" is still their greatest song.
I completely misread that at first and thought you were supposed to name the members of Boyz II Men, and I thought, "They had names?"
I should've known "End of the Road" because that was massive.
And "Motownphilly" was a #1 hit on the R&B charts, hmph.
