Eye Candy

Music video time. Grab some popcorn and click away.


Big Phony - Girls Like You Don't Go For Guys Like Me [Music Video] from The Mighty Fifty on Vimeo.
I am not in love with this video but I do like the idea of it. It's nice to see the kind of normal Asian guy as a protagonist. I am definitely a fan of Big Phony though. He does that Mangina music that I love and he does it well.

Here is another one from him and The Mighty Fifty.
Big Phony - Short Intermission *Official Music Video* from The Mighty Fifty on Vimeo.

Here is an Esna video also done by The Mighty Fifty. The Mighty Fifty does good work, just nice high quality looking film. Put a good musician in front of a camera, what else do you need?

Check out the Bangerz and San Jose Taiko performing "Robot Remains" live. I am pretty sure these dudes used to be called the Finger Bangerz and I saw them for free at hip hop in the park back in the day. I guess they are all grown up and have dropped the, Finger, part of their crew name, it's probably better that way. I doubt San Jose Taiko returns your phone calls if your name is The Finger Bangerz. Finger what? *Click* Enjoy an awesome culture clash; Japan vs. Hip Hop.


Last but not least the simple awesomeness of the new Cee-Lo video. New as in it's been tearing across the interwebs for a couple of weeks now. Late or not, it's a solid track.

Bush Baby, tenso drummer, Kero/Esna and Glee/Thao

This video has been flying all over the web. As an associate professor of webology I had to analyze it...for academic purposes. The craziest thing about this video to me is who the model is. The model in this video is Daisy Lowe, Daisy Lowe is Gavin Rossdale's daughter. The fact that people are jocking Gavin Rossdale's daughter means I am fucking old. My girlfriends used to looove them some Bush/Gavin, now the spawn of their teenage crush is some current teenager's crush. It's just not right I tell you. *Shakes fist at a teenager*

Here is another music related video. This two year old footage has recently caught fire, who knows how these things work. The video shows the cover band Rick K. & the Allnighters -- "America's Most Exciting Show Band" -- playing ZZ Top's "Sharp-Dressed Man." How fucking intense is the drummer? AMAZING!!

Interview with new sensation here.


Kero one has a new album in the works. From Kero's bio.
"Considered by some as a mogul in the jazzy hiphop genre, Kero One, a San Francisco rapper/producer/DJ, stands as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story."
Here he is getting his collabo on with the smooth jazziness that is Esna.  The album, "Kinetic World" drops on June 15. You can pre-order the album,  at Plug Label store.


Thao, who I fucking love in case you didn't know has a new video.  The Thao and The Get Down Stay Down "Body Video" is directed by Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray on Glee).  It's in support of Oxfam America.

I guess they are skype buddies, totally not jealous...just let me be alone for a second. Diana also has some other videos with Thao where she sings live with the band, giving her assists on, "Bag Of Hammers" and another song or two. Sounds awesome huh? Yeaaaah Diana kind of sucks live in the video, she seems to be a tad bit off to me. Also how bad was her version of, "A Man's World?"  She has a pretty pop voice but there is not a lot of power or depth to it, she needs to stick to the sweet and sugary, her toned down version of, "Say A Little Prayer" was spot on.  Anyway, instead of the aforementioned horrible live performance video in it's place I give you the official video for, "When We Swam."

Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix 2

Guess what?  The new Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix is here. I can tell you are excited.  This version is a little more pop princessy than the last one. There are actually some songs on it that I don't really approve of, buuuut it's for the ladies. *Curtsies* They love the GaGa, personally she scares the shit out of me. I want nothing to do with her or her music.  Seriously what the fuck is going on here?  People tell me she is actually a good musician.  I say, you could tell me she sounds like the end result of a Sam Cooke/Otis Redding love child who copulated with the spawn of Aretha Franklin and Al Green's beh-bay and I still wouldn't want to hear what she has to say.  I just don't get the packaging.  Look at her next to Beyonce.  Beyonce doesn't need to make herself look punchable, she just sings.  I can respect that.  That other madness just frightens me.












Lucky for you guys I am willing to put my kettle of seething anger to the side and dip my toes into that murky cesspool known as the top 40. Don't say I never did anything nice for you. I actually have never heard the original of this song, I'm sure it's great...so this will be on the mix.
