I’m On A Boat!

Danny — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:45:40 +0000

The Lonely Island crew is back at it again with their new single I’m On A Boat featuring T-Pain. T-Pain just brings this song to another level! Lonely Island is comprised of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer & Jorma Taccone. You should remember Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg in their SNL hit “My Dick in a box!“.

If you are into mashups DJ Earworm has released another year end mix composed of Billboard’s Top 25 of 2008.

What the heck is a mashup??

A mashup , bootleg or blend (also mash up and mash-up) is a song or composition created from the combination of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. A mash-up is a song created out of pieces of two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the music track of another. Wikipedia

Economy 101 with Weird Al Yankovic

Danny — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:12:24 +0000

With the current economic turmoil a lot of people have been tightening their pocket books and watching what they spend. Who better to poke fun of a sticky situation than Weird Al Yankovic? His latest single is a take on a current chart hit of T.I. – Whatever You Want (See Video Below). Weird Al always seems to be able to hit the songs dead on while putting his twist on it. What do you think?

Review: Joe – Ain’t Nothing Like Me

Danny — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 08:26:10 +0000

It’s been over 10 years since the Joe’s debut album, “Everything”, and he hasn’t missed a beat. His latest album Ain’t Nothing Like Me brings the familiar smooth R&B sounds that made him one of the kings of bedroom slow jams. The first single “Where You at” written by Sean Garrett features rapper Papoose with heart pouring lyrics (“Damn yo scent ain’t on my pillow case no more / (Baby where you at?) I just recognize I’m livin life alone”). Grammy winning producers Tim & Bob leave their mark on Get To Know Me with the help of Nas. This album also features guest appearances of Tony Yago, Young Buck, Fabolous and Dre.

This timeless set will be sure to be thumping in bedrooms across the continent, there really Ain’t Nothing Like Joe.

Review: Avril Lavigne – The Best Damn Thing

Danny — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 18:54:20 +0000

If you don’t know, today is New Music Tuesday! I hope to review a new album every Tuesday, so first up is Avril Lavigne’s new one.

So this is the old married Avril. “Don’t pretend, I think you know, I’m damn precious, and hell yeah, I’m the mother f—ing princess!” Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing, her third album,is one that just frustrates you. Scattered among some great tracks are these inferior ones that make you scream out WTF! It makes you wonder what happened to Lavigne after moving to Lalaland.

The Best Damn Thing re embraces the power puff, pom pom pumping, punk kid within, with gutsy guitar riffs to Toni Basil inspired hand claps and cheers. This sk8r outcast turned pop princess does have a few tracks to save this album from being a total ear sore. This album is a marked departure from the Napanee punk kid of Under My Skin with catchy sing-along choruses in “Girlfriend” to emotional ballads like “Keep Holding On”, which she wrote for the film Eragon.

Almost 23, Avril Lavigne still has a lot of growing up to do, and this album shows it. The Best Damn Thing often sounds like she’s still a bratty teenager, but who do you think this album is for? Her next album should be interesting, and hopefully brings more production from Butch Walker.

Dance to Inspire, Inspire to Dance

Danny — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 08:37:48 +0000

Being able to dance seemed to have skipped me for some reason. My parents ball-room, my sister is in hip-hop dance groups… me? I dance like a stick thrown into a river… rigid and bobbing randomly. Eddie Uehara has made a few videos with some moving quotes.

This boy got skill.

Version 2

You see a lot of bad dancers at clubs and such, but I respect them. They are out there on the dance floor and having fun. They don’t give a shit about how they look like to others. Maybe one day this old stick will loosen up.

Poke me…

Social networking sites have come and gone over the years… Do you remember AsianAvenue and Xanga? Friendsters’ popularity has seemed to be dwindling and people are jumping ship to Facebook. What’s common about all these sites is that its a breeding ground for internet stalkers that must Google everything about you or the e-Gansta’s that type in jibberish acting all tough. I support social networking sites for communication tools but this unhealthy infatuation of people (mostly girls) you don’t know must stop! That’s my rant for the day, check out these funny videos after the jump!
