Nellie Mckay is easily the most genuine musician alive. I love her candor and honest lyrics mixed with the funky yet classy music. Utterly amazing.

Colorado Native Jill Souble goes DIY for her next album.


Colorado Native Jill Souble goes DIY for her next album asking the fans to pay for the production, marketing and distribution. Does this tell you how crappy the record labels deals are. I would love to see the music business go back to the wild west style and let artists push artists.. and even get paid for it. 

The Raconteurs Old Enough (feat. Ricky Skaggs & Ashley Monroe)


Old Enough (feat. Ricky Skaggs & Ashley Monroe) - Single

What's not to love about the Raconteurs? Everything they do is a breath of fresh air and still so familiar you swear you've heard it before. Kudos to the band for very unique, totally unsafe song (music industry wise) and a great colaberation with 2 great artists.

Stick this in your ear!

Maroon 5 Call and Respond (Remixes)


I was just saying to some friends the other day that Maroon 5 would define the rest of the careers with their next album effort. I had no idea it would be a jumbled, name dropping, financially motived remix of existing songs and if anything it would take away from the great music that it was. WTF? I really think this remix album has killed the magic that the Maroon 5 originals had about them.. what a buzz kill. Further more, are they even trying? This is what they have to offer. The remixes are the most forced I have ever heard and I would not even steal this music.

DO NOT Stick this in your ear.

I heart Lily Allen

She is a great studio and live act. Great looking and full of whimsical words. What's not to like. So if you are at work, and you can see this.. here is your tip fo the day www.mtvmusic.com is not blocked at your work.. have fun.

19 songs you'll hate me for

That is to say 19 songs that will get stuck in your head and have you tapping your toe in meetings and stupid dances for no parent reason.

Oh No You Didn't - Wojahn Brothers
Made popular by the PS# game Mercenaries. My 5 year old sings this at random. Clearly this song knows no age limits.

Blue (Da Ba Dee) - Eiffel 65
I love this song.. but once you have played this you will be spoofing the lyrics in your everyday life with horrible Blue puns.

Mahna Mahna - Cake
This may well be the catchiest of all. If you can listen to this song and not utter the Mahna Mahna once in for the rest of the day.. your a freak.

MACARENA - LOS DEL RIO
Just pure evil. At least they were smart enough to get some better looking people in the video. I think.

Pop Musik - M
80's evil.. anyone with a one letter name is working for the devil

Jump - Kris Kross
.. I'm the Mac Daddy and he's the Daddy Mac... says the 12 yo rappers. No one has made wearing your clothes backwards as cool as these kids did.

How Bizzare - OMC
There is a certain collection of songs that I don't even know what they are saying half the time.. but I still love it. This is among them.

Ha ha ha ha...

Informer - Snow
This dude must be the son of the Micro Machines guy that could talk a million miles per hour. Lets break it down here... "Informer, you know they say snow me are to blame.. I lick your boom boom down" Now you know. Now, what is with those reading glasses?

Da Da Da - Trio
Made popular by a car commercial where some guys are rolling around town with a bobble head setting the head bobbing pace. It was one of the new bread of car commercial and a tradition of introducing new music through car commercials. Have some respect while you "Da Da Da" all day long.

Barbie Girl - Aqua
Hey, I am not above a tongue and check homage to the more perfectly proportioned girl in history. Barbie is hot.. and German girls singing about Barbie.. that is borderline fetish."I can beg on my knee's." You know you've got a good video when you have Mattel suing you.

Beetle Juice! That is all.
