Nicki Minaj Being Cute...

with SMOKESHOW man candy around her. [note to self: don't ever say the phrase 'man candy' again.] This is my absolute fave song off her Pink Friday album, and surprisingly is a bonus track. Enjoy the Superbass!

This is a Katy Perry Post

Listen, I have no shame in saying that I love Katy Perry. Her Teenage Dream album is one of the best pop albums around [see: hummingbird heartbeat]. Here are a few gems from the candyland queen herself.

Old School Jamz

Hey, remember Montell Jordan? Of course you do, but I'm not here to remind you of "This is How We Do It". I re-discovered this jam and forgot how good it was. But you know when you're young and you just sing along to the lyrics without thinking about what it means (see: "Too Close" by Next)? Yeah, that happened with me and this song. "I've got a girl, but you look good tonight"?! Oh Montell. I can't say this might have be the reason of your decent into the two hit wonder universe. But I am.

JT, Make Another Album Already!!

Two of my favorite people doing the "History of Rap" in medley form?! Epic. EPIC! JT's Snoop is just...no words. But seriously, we get that you're a serious actor, can you just make an album whilst doing it? kthxbye.

Lady Antebellum Stakeout: 2010

A few weeks ago, I was sitting on our balcony, perusing ONTD and listening to some tunes. Through my headphones, I could hear really loud music playing. I thought to myself, 'WHO IS PLAYING THEIR MUSIC SO DARN LOUD??' (Apparently Los Angeles has made me into one of those 80 year old blue-haired women at the Lyric who need hearing devices for the front row, or Mr. Heckles from 'Friends') I took my headphones off and heard someone yell 'PLAYBACK!', after which what seemed to be the makings of a country song start playing. Thanks to my excellent detective skills - and ability to google lyrics at a moment's notice - i discovered that the song playing was entitled 'Our Kind of Love' by Lady Antebellum!

Naturally, I then proceeded to freak the eff out, as Lady Antebellum was shooting a music video near my apartment!! I figured out that they were filming across the street, in what we here like to refer to as 'the place where toys go to die.'

When we first moved here, we always wondered what that lot with abandoned toys' purpose was, if there were any episodes of 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' filmed there, and why it was only filled with Little Tikes cars and those mini carousels you find in the middle of the mall (child pictured is NOT me). Apparently, the only time anyone ever goes in there now is to film Lady Antebellum videos.

Being the creeper that I am, I took this picture:


If you look closely, you can see the bright lights on set. But because I wasn't satisfied with this, I went over there to get a closer look. I tried taking a video through the fence, but even that's too creepy to put on the internetz.

Ryan finally got home, and I informed him of the exciting action that was taking place across the street, so we again went over there to investigate. Maybe they needed some extras, right? Well, we walked all around the perimeter of the lot, found the entrance, and even found all the trailers and kraft service truck too! We managed to see Charles and Hilary filming through the fence, which was pretty cool, but thought some of the crew could see us, so we didn't take any pix :( So we walked back to our apartment, a little defeated, yet still interested in what was going on, so we stood on our balcony for a while and watched from there. I took the following video (no need to watch the entire thing, unless you have absolutely have nothing better to do, like me) :




Basically, I spent about 3 hours of my Sunday afternoon stalking Lady Antebellum. I thought it was a good 3 hours well spent. So what does the finished product look like? Well here it is, the video for "Our Kind of Love". Just imagine me across from this toy lot standing on our balcony chairs trying to get a better look. It's just more fun that way.

In the Year 2000

Everything about this video is entertaining. Every single aspect of it. Why? Because it takes you back to the year 2000. If you ever want to relive that year, just watch this video, and it will take you back 10 years. At least for me it did. Here's a clip from 'Men Strike Back', VH1's response to its popular program 'VH1 Divas.' From the performers themselves (spoiler alert: a silver haired thong song singer makes an appearance) to the attire out in the audience, this just screams butterfly clips and AOL. Enjoy.

PS: if you know anything about me, you know who not to make negative comments about in this video :)

PPS: rip the 2000 version of d'angelo. he looked like this a couple years ago, and in march, he was arrested for "allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone through the West Village — with $12,000 stashed in his SUV." oh how the mighty have fallen.

I'm Gonna Rock Your Body Til Canada Day

This is probably one of the best episodes of How I Met Your Mother, NAY of the history of television, ever. Haven't seen Robin Sparkles's music video of 'Let's Go to the Mall'?? Watch it NOW.

And You Thought the Treadmill Thing Was Cool

This video has been out for a while, but just in case you haven't seen it, here's the music video for OkGo's "This Too Shall Pass." It took engineers 6 months to just design the set, which included thousands of moving parts that all needed to go off without a hitch, shot in single camera. The entire thing only made it all the way through 3 times, and the final cut is a combination two of those perfect shots. Enjoy!!

Urkel Never Sounded So Good

Guys ... Guys. If you like a cappella (like me), and you have a soft spot in your heart for 90s tv shows (like me), you need to watch this video. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon featured popular a cappella group, Straight No Chaser, on the show the other night, and did a medley of hit theme songs from our generation's childhood. Pretty amazing, if I might say so myself.

Grammy. Award. Winning.
