This video proves that sharks aren't just dangerous in the water.

Justin Timberlake, The Roots, and Jimmy Fallon give the history of rap



This is pretty epic. If you don't know anything about rap, you need to watch this video and get educated. They cover everything from Sugar Hill Gang to Soulja Boy. This is really funny.

TRL Saturday?



Being the rock star that I am, I was too sick to update the blog yesterday.. Yeah I know that's pretty lame. Anyway so I'm putting out the TRL Friday on Saturday. Since I'm doing this on Saturday I've changed my original choice. Saturday means college football, and college football means young college kids fucking up and letting down thousands of fans. So this music video goes out to all the kids that are about to fuck up today.

Kanye West- So Appalled (Ft. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, Cyhi the Prince)

Nas and Carlos Santana- Back in Black




Sorry Kanye and Justin Bieber, I'mma let you finish but Nas and Carlos Santana get the nod for biggest WTF collaboration of the year. I never thought that I'd hear Nas and Santana covering AC/DC. I'm sure most people are going to hate this, but I actually think this is pretty good. It's off of Santana's new covers album.

Weezer and Hurley sing "Perfect Situation" Live



The cover star of Weezer's new album "Hurley" came out and performed with them last night. He's actually not that terrible.

M.I.A- Story to Be Told



Check out the weird new interactive video from M.I.A. The video basically consists of web browsers flashing patterns to the music. The video can only be seen on the website yesthelittlepeoplewillneverwinbuttheycanfuckshitup.com. I'm not joking... Watch the video by clicking the link below.

TRL Fridays!!!! (Silverchair "Ana's Song" edition)

\\\

With the debut of TRL Friday last week, I brought you the classic summer jam from LFO "Summer Girls". That song was in memory of Rich Cronin, their singer who recently died of cancer. This week I'm going with a more rock direction. TRL was in fact, more than just boy bands and pop divas. TRL also had some good rock songs thrown in the mix. This song in particular always sort of scared me when I was a kid. It blew my mind to hear a singer sing about his past experience with anorexia. It honestly sort of freaked me out. I was more used to songs along the line of "Hit Me Baby One More Time". Seeing this video still sort of gives me chills. Daniel Johns is pretty obvious with the lyrics of the song "Ana wrecks your life" obviously is talking about anorexia. So I'm posting this video because for me, it was my first real experience to music that wasn't considered pop and it dealt with personal problems that weren't just broken hearts. So kick back and let the nostalgia kick in while watching this TRL classic.

The Michael Jackson Experience (Video Game Trailer)



Check out the new trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson video game. Pretty crazy idea. It will be interesting to see how the game will work without some sort of dance mat to stand on, like in DDR. Anyway, you can look forward to dancing like the "King of Pop" when the game comes out on November 23.

Blonde Redhead- Not Getting There



Cool new video from Blonde Redhead.

Neil Yong- Hitchhiker



Another new video for Neil Young. Sort of weird when he lays out all the drugs he tried.. Another solid vid if your a fan of Neil Young.

Lil Wayne- I'm not Human



Yes he's still in prison, but that won't stop Weezy from putting out music videos. Check out Wayne rocking out in this vid. Free Weezy!!!

Dolorean- Real Love

Gayngs- Last Prom on Earth



Gayngs is the side project of Bon Iver, Rymesayers, and Solid Gold. How sensual is this song? It's so sensual that Prince is on the side of the stage nodding his head in approval. Now that is sensual.

The Very Best- Julia



Check out this new jam from The Very Best. Too bad this song came out at the end of summer... This song was made for your summer playlists. Oh well..

Smashing Pumpkins- Spangled




Another new Smashing Pumpkins song off their upcoming album Kaleidyscope. Spangled is a short and mellow song. My only complaint is that it's too short. Can't wait for this album to come out though.

Florence & The Machine- Heavy in Your Arms"



Check out this dramatic new video from Florence and the Machine. Watch Florence sing her heart.

Neil Young- Angry World



Neil Young still has it. This angry world is making Neil angry.

Kanye West- Runaway (Studio Version)




Here is the studio version of my pick for the anthem of the year. Let's all have a toast to my favorite douchebag Kanye West. Also below is a trailer for his new short film based on the song. Looks artsy.

Freelance Whales- Hannah



A lot of crazy things going on in this video. Watch and enjoy.

Kanye West- Runaway (VMA Performance)



About a year after the whole Taylor Swift/Kanye West incident at the VMAs, both were back to debut new songs. Taylor Swift decided to milk the situation by starting off with a video of the incident. She then preceded to sing a song about forgiving Kanye. She sang lyrics letting him know that he can still get into heaven and that he can recover from hitting rock bottom... (Wait he just interrupted her right?) Anyway.. Later on in the night after Taylor Swift was done with her pretentious performance, Kanye took the stage and dominated. Watch the video above to see Kanye keep it real in his music, and more importantly sing something sincere and creative. Complete opposite of Taylor's performance...

Kanye West- Good Friday (Ft. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Charlie Wilson)

Good Friday -


Another banger from Kanye West and crew.

TRL Fridays!!!



Introducing a new feature on the blog. Growing up, the only thing that kept me sane in middle school was coming home and watching TRL. Most of my memories of the mid 90's to early 2000's are based on the videos that dominated the countdown.... Don't judge me... Anyway, it was a happier time where you can watch your favorite video 50 days in a row before it would be retired. All the new videos would always have their debut on TRL, and more importantly it was a time when there was actually music on MTV. Yeah a lot of the videos were cheesy and poppy, but where else could you see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Britney Spears, and Outkast all on the same countdown? So in honor of the positive effect that Carson Daly and TRL had on my life, I've decided to pay homage to TRL by having TRL Fridays. This feature is just me posting a random TRL video every Friday. Basically whatever I'm feeling.

John Legend & The Roots- Little Ghetto Boy



Keeping it real.

Weezer- Memories



Weezer + Jackass= Entertaining Video.

Phil Selway- By Some Miracle



This music video from the Radiohead drummer is dark, dreary, and depressing. I love it!

Sufjan Stevens- Too Much


 


Another new Sufjan Stevens track from his upcoming album "The Age of Adz". Like his last release "I Walked", this track is also heavy on the electronics. After hearing two of the songs you definitely get a feel of how the album is going to sound. I like this new direction he's going. It's always cool when a band experiments with a new sound.

Class Actress- Terminally Chill (Neon Indian cover)

Junip- Always



Cool song and video from Jose Gonzalez's band.

Kings of Leon- Radioactive



New Kings of Leon song and video. College girls that don't know anything about music must be going crazy right now. Look for this song to be playing at every bar you go to for the next 6 months...
