I used to be a huge fan of LP, gawd, those classic like "In The End" and "Crawling" are forever a reminder that shouting is a form of singing too. Well, I can't say the same thing about their new stuff though, "The Catalyst" doesn't excite me like how they used to, I guess I outgrown that short lil' hardcore rock phase of mine or there's just too many good pop songs out there these days! Bah~ Apparently this is the 2nd single of their new album, A Thousand Suns. You can read wwadh great review of the album by clicking here. I love the astronomy inspired video though ;)
This is definitely one of the highlights from her Teenage Dream album. I must say that she's been coming out with nice music video for her single choice except for California Gurls, there's some class issue with that video *ehem*
With this video, I gotta say it's pretty inspiring where it suits her lyrics perfectly that everyone should embrace their inner firework :) And this is the reason why she gets another A+ from mua. I love the insecure girl in the pool party scene, I can totally relate to that. Boys kissing? My kinda thing. Magician showing off to his bully? Funny! There's just so much to love in this video. While I find the inner firework exploding from the chest thingy is pretty darn ridiculous but hey, I like it :) There's gotta be fireworks in a Firework video, right? And the ending, where everyone is dancing around and there's fireworks everywhere ;) Chic and Grand! Love love love. I can safely say she's solidifying herself as one of my faves female pop star if she keep its up with brilliant song choices and great music video.
You don't have to feel like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow And when it's time, you'll know
Well done, Katy! :)
BTW here's my take on her fabulous Teenage Dream music video too :)
Finally! It's out! Gawd, I've been waiting for this to come out ever since I got hooked to his fantastic Lovekiller album last month. The fact that I don't find this song interesting in the beginning can be classified as a major offense to a major music junkie like mua. It grows on me gradually and after few plays and bam! It was ON! The synths, the soaring vocals in the chorus, the hook, the lyrics. Everything about this song works! And all thanks to Paul or I wouldn't have known the existence of this fantastic male pop star.
ps: OK, now I think I am going to have so much trouble choosing my Best 10 of '10 this year. Grrr...
She came out from nowhere and now she's everywhere whether it's her solo effort or her featuring effort with some big name artist. I must say even with all that exposure, I do find her solo stuff more interesting than those collaborations except for Massive Attack, I don't get it, it sound like some bad Asian prayer song.
So yeah, back to this song, after the surprisingly good Your Love where she go all tough and Japanese in the video, she's back with her 3rd single, Right Thru Me, which is amazing where she get all sensitive and soft :) BTW great casting, that guy is fine~
I must say that I am warming up to her and this is coming from me, someone who don't dig rap as much as I want to. This is definitely one of my faves track of this year :)
Yay! SNSD and Shayne in the same day? Today is definitely glorious~ :D
I have to admit I am not a big fan of Nickleback, don't ask why. They don't rock my world. That's why I'm not exactly jumping for joy when I read that Shayne is going to release a cover of this song for his comeback. But I was surprised how well this R&B rendition of this song suit his vocal and it's blardy amazing. YUP, I AM BIASED. *In the name of P!nk, SO WHAT? I have to admit that the video is a total bore tho but since there's tons of skin it in, Oh yeah! I'm a happy man :)
OMGee! They're back with a Bang! Well, they're one of my faves girls group of all time apart from 2NE1, so yeah, gotta show some support here. Plus, they have the most good looking member of Super Junior, Choi SiWon here! I am lovin' every minute of this :)
Oh yeah, and this time around with a 35 mins long music video?!!
This kinda self indulgence can turn out to be so crappy and pretentious if it's not done right but heck, I like it. It's actually pretty good and beautiful. I love the color palette used in the video and the leading lady Selita Ebanks is just gorgeous as the Phoenix. I read that he used some of his songs from his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and I must say, I am genuinely interested.
I'm wearing purple today in support for the teens who took their lives because of anti-LGBT bullying.
Wearing purple on October 20 is a simple way to show the world that you stand by these courageous young people and a simple way to stand UP to the bullies. Remember those lives we've tragically lost, and show your solidarity with those who are still fighting. 'Go Purple' today!

Pretty decent 2nd single from McFly. Nice collabo, since both doesn't really "outshine" each other in this.
Far East Movement's Like A G6
I'm pretty sure you heard this awesome track right? It's everywhere these days. The babes in the video are sizzling hot! Definitely should check out Girls On The Dancefloor.
Swedish House Mafia Vs Tinie Tempah's Miami 2 Ibiza
Don't you just hate pixels? Ugh. I feel like I'm watching those Japanese porn. Haha, btw this track is effin dope. Pretty good upgrade from One.
Mark Ronson & The Business Intl's Somebody To Love Me feat Boy George
Bang Bang Bang is decent, The Bike Song is okay, and this is another story. I lurrrve this. I'm not sure whether is the lyrics or the beats, this reminds me of Stop Me. Old skool funk with lots of nice beats.
Duck Sauce's Barbara Streisand
I don't get the band name but I get the song. Aweeesome track. I'm not sure how long I will be lovin' this but I am definitely loving it now.
Duffy's Well, Well, Well
Gawd, her voice is still so nasal. I'm not sure whether I love or hate this but it sticks to my head, is that a bad thing? Ah :/
Temper Trap's Love Lost
Can't get enough of their album, Conditions, this is totally one of the standout track, I can imagine how great this is gonna sound if they play it in a stadium, a man can dream.
OK peeps. Lets try something new here, shall we? I've been lovin' The Gossip's Men In Love album last year even since I heard the brilliant Heavy Cross. Now after so long, they're releasing the music video for one of my faves track from that album, Men In Love.
Chaotic fun! Even though I have no idea what the heck is going on in the video. LOL. What's with the 5 hot football player at the end? Nice~
Two Door Cinema Club probably have one of my favorite album for this year. They have already released 3 singles, Something Good Can Work, I Can Talk and Undercover Martyn from the amazingly brilliant and catchy Tourist History but sadly, their songs are not charting up in the UK music scene, I wonder why.
Here's the 4th and latest single, Come Back Home.
Two Door Cinema Club's Come Back Home
I don't get the music video, anyone want to help me decipher it? :)
OK. The lazy bum owner of this blog is back. Yay? :P
I've been listening to tons of new stuff these days, well, if my top 20 songs in my iPod consist only 3 top40 hits, I guess I've pretty lost with the charting these days..
Anyway, what I want to buzz today definitely have nothing much to do with their music, it's the music video that got me interested in them. Let's move on shall we.
Burhan G - Tættere På Himlen Feat. Nik & Jay
I'm surprised to say that I kinda dig this song after few rounds of listening, there's some kinda emotional baggage from how they deliver this song. I love the chorus. Plus the guys in the video are hot! Love the hot lady that's just hanging around there. ;) Thanks Jackson :)
Marcus Houston - Naked
I am not fan of his music but I am definitely a big fan of this video :) Haha.
Aiks! I can't embed the next song that I want to include here! *boo!*
Well, D'Angelo's How Does It Feel are pretty sexy and the video do bring justice to the song. I'm trying my best to sound not like a pervert here. *ehem* Supposedly D'Angelo's version is the original :) "Imitation is the highest form of flattery?"
