Music Time!

Stumbled across this chick the other day, and now I kinda love her. Enjoy!

 

Music

Do you ever find yourself thinking, "Man, I could really go for some cheesy pop music sung by a guy with tooly hair wearing a tooly vest and a tooly hat who sings at least half in falsetto with extra reverb and is impossible to understand because he doesn't enunciate"?

Yeah, me either.

So why the hell do I love OneRepublic so much?

More Frowning

"A kiss with a fist is better than none."

No, Florence + the Machine. It's not.

The Green Album

The Muppets are super trendy right now for some reason, and to celebrate/capitalize on this, someone or other is releasing The Green Album, a compilation of Muppet songs as sung by current artists. I love the Muppets, so of course I had to check this out. A review, you say? Why yes, I was indeed planning on such a thing! The album is on NPR First Listen, so you can go enjoy it yourself. Or "enjoy," possibly.

First up, "The Muppet Show Theme" by OK Go. OK Go is a band that is popular due to their impressive ability to perform choreographed dance routines on treadmills. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. That video is fucking awesome. This song is boring. I assume they're all high, which is fine and all, but I feel like they should probably sound like they care at least a little bit. Dude, it's the theme song. You're excited and shit. Oh, you're not? Next!

Him?

This guy has the Number 1 album on iTunes right now:

Really? I mean, I do like this song (which is, like, really old), and I really like Mat Kearney's voice, but really? I had no idea anyone else even knew who this guy was.
