Ghost Town DJ’s ‘My Boo’ Should Hold You Over ‘Til Next Throwback Thursday

A Very, Mini Throwback Thursday :)
Posted by: Shannon on March 7, 2013| 11 Comments
Because 1996 Makes Life Happy

I know, I know! One throwback song is never enough! But I’m in the midst of some craziness at my apartment, and I’ve been working all day from a hotel… with two little boys… who think we’re on some kind of super-fun vacation (well, I did tell them that), which involves them turning the hotel closet into a ‘spaceship’ (their words, not mine). LOL, yeah. So… I’m exhausted! But I have been rocking out to last week’s Throwback Mariah Carey post, which led me to the other throwback Mariah post, which eventually led me to the amazingness that is Ghost Down DJ’s My Boo. You’re welcome. And just put this one on repeat until next Thursday… I know that’s what I’ll be doing, lol!

Directed by Floria Sigismondi
Posted by: Trent on February 26, 2013| 2 Comments
Co-starring Tilda Swinton!!!

Last month rock legend David Bowie shocked the world with the release of a new single and the announcement of a forthcoming new album. Today he graces us with the music video for the second single from his album The Next Day, which is due to hit stores on March 12. The video for his new single The Stars (Are Coming Out) was directed by the amazing Floria Sigismondi (who is responsible for some of the most grotesquely beautiful and disturbingly pretty music videos of the past 15 years) and co-stars the flawless actress Tilda Swinton. The video is like a mini-movie and you can watch it in full above. More »

Watch: The Absolute BEST ‘Scream & Shout’ Music Video Is Finally Here

The 'Gerald Giovanni's Funk3d Edit' Remix features MOAR BRITNEY
Posted by: Trent on February 23, 2013| 3 Comments
The BEST 'S&S' Video YET!

So, first we got the music video for Britney Spears and will.i.am‘s new single Scream & Shout … then we got a music video for the remixed version of Scream & Shout that features Brit, will and a bunch of rappers … but today, my friends, we get THE absolute best Scream & Shout music video of all. Britney fansite Breathe Heavy pointed me in the direction of the just-released music video for Scream & Shout (Gerald Giovanni’s Funk3d Edit) video remix which features most (if not all) of Britney‘s scenes from the previous two official music videos … resulting in the best video of the bunch. The remixed version of S&S ain’t bad either (but is it better than the Pitbull remix we heard earlier this week?). Check out the embed above and fall in love. I think you, too, will agree that moar Britney means moar awesomeness. YOU’RE GONNA TURN THIS SHIT UP!

Watch: Kendrick Lamar And Drake Drop The Video For ‘Poetic Justice’

K-Dot And Drizzy Find Love And Trouble In 'Poetic Justice'
Posted by: Shannon on February 23, 2013| 2 Comments
'I write poems in these songs dedicated to you'

Finally! A little while back Kendrick Lamar released the controversial video to Backstreet Freestyle, and while I loved that video (and trying to make sense of some of the images with y’all), I’d really been obsessively waiting for the video to Poetic Justice since we heard the single a while back. And I was not disappointed. Although it would have been awesome to see a cameo from Janet Jackson (what with the sample on the track), I love, love, love that the video is set in LA on Crenshaw Boulevard, and partly inspired by one of the storylines in her 1993 movie Poetic Justice. Drake is up in the video… being Drake, lol. Peep the video for more! Do you love? I love. And you can check out the lyrics to Poetic Justice over at DirectLyrics.

Watch: Miguel Premieres His Music Video For ‘Candle In The Sun’

'Is There A God? Is He Watching? Is She Watching?'

'Candles In The Sun/Blowin' In The Wind'

Usually when Miguel releases a music video, it means things are about to get pretty sexy. But the Grammy winning artist is switching gears a bit for his third single, Candle In The Sun. Maintaining his signature intensity and beautiful vocals, Miguel gets a little socio-political on this one. Apparently, he released a statement to HypeBeast about the song and visuals: “It’s so easy to ignore what’s right in front of us sometimes. I wanted to create a song and visual that addressed my everyday concerns of life as I know it in the world that we live in.” I’m of the opinion that Miguel (and his girlfriend) can do no wrong, and I love the lyrics to this song. Peep the video for more!

Watch: The Cast Of ‘Downton Abbey’ Performs ‘That’s What Makes You Beautiful’ By One Direction

"I give you 'Downton Abbey' doing One Direction"
Posted by: Trent on February 20, 2013| 4 Comments
"You don't know .. OH OH"

So … from time to time a parody/tribute/lip dub video comes along that truly stands out from the crowd and successfully grabs my attention so fully that I simply must share the goods with all y’all. Previously, we’ve seen lip dub videos of President Barack Obama performing various songs and those clips are pretty entertaining. Today, tho, I present to you a lip dub video of the cast of Downton Abbey performing the hit song That’s What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. Now, whether or not you like the song, I think you’ll find that you will love this video. It’s really impressive how well the lyrics have been strung together with footage from all 3 seasons of Downton Abbey … and if you listen, you’ll hear clever changes to the lyrics that make the video even more awesome. Watch the video above and love … I’ve already watched it 5 times … and I plan to watch it a few more times in the next hour or so.

First Look: Tyler, The Creator Teams Up With Frank Ocean On ‘Bimmer’

'You Remind Me Of My Beamer'
Posted by: Shannon on February 16, 2013| 1 Comment
The Odd Future Gang Is Back At It

So, disclaimer, I’m a huge Frank Ocean fan who knows very little about Odd Future (AKA Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). But I do know that many members of Odd Future have been pursuing solo projects (like Frank, Earl Sweatshirt, and Tyler, The Creator), and I’m tryna see if I can get down with the hype. Tyler, The Creator is working on a new album (Wolf) and he’s teamed up with Grammy-winner Frank Ocean on a track called Bimmer. We only have a snippet of the song/video, but it’s kinda cool… and then there’s the part where Frank starts doing his thing, so yeah! Me likey. As far as the lyrics go, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard an artist compare a chic to a car, but okay. Let’s see where this goes, lol.

Watch: Lana Del Releases A Music Video For ‘Burning Desire’

Music Video/Ad Campaign For Jag
Posted by: Shannon on February 15, 2013| Leave a comment
Lana's Got A Burning Desire For You

Last summer we learned that Lana Del Rey had scored an endorsement deal with the luxury car brand, Jaguar. The singer turned model joined Justin Timberlake in the Valentine’s Day music video release extravaganza, dropping the visuals for Burning Desire yesterday. The video really doubles as an ad for Jaguar‘s new 2014 F-TYPE sports car, so it’s not especially creative, but it’s still worth checking out. As far as the song goes, well, I prefer Ride, but Burning Desire has some sweet moments too. You can check out the lyrics over at DirectLyrics, and peep the video for more!
