Just in case you have a severe case of ADHD and need your pop songs to be played a little faster and end a little quicker, here is the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes version of Billy Joel’s classic “Only The Good Die Young.”
So, I have been informed by my partially-religious counterparts that today is the day Jesus was resurrected? That’s fine with me. That should make this video is somewhat appropriate for today. I’m glad Jesus was resurrected and all, because he is a friend of mine. Jesus, it’s good to have you back. This song about [...]
The “band” is called B4-4. It’s pronounced “before four” – because there are only three of them (according to Wikipedia). The song is called “Get Down.” I am thankful I have lived in ignorance of their existence for the past ten years. However, this boy band epic fail from the new millennium has recently been [...]
This song is a power-pop masterpiece. Talk about Friday FUEL! Well, kind of. But it is definitely worth a listen. It was coined “the male response to ‘Oughta Know’” by some source that I cannot seem to rediscover. I feel that was a mildly appropriate observation in some respects, but not in others. Listen and [...]
Since I am writing this, the artist of the month is a ska band, naturally. A “ska-punk” band. Maybe the ska-punk band, depending on who you ask. Anyway, this is appropriately so because Reel Big Fish will be headlining at the 9:30 Club on January 25th, alongside fellow ska-punk heavyweights Streetlight Manifesto and n00b openers [...]
Okay, so, I mean, finally, I found something “new”. Who woulda thought. Here’s the fun and mildly drawn-out story: I work on the security team for SEE (Student Entertainment Events). I was working at the Lupe Fiasco show on campus in Ritchie Coliseum this past Friday, and basically from the moment I heard this band [...]
So it is the week before the week before finals, and you perhaps have a huge exam or group project or final paper due next week, or all of the above. Or perhaps you don’t. In case you do, this song, “Just My Imagination” by The Temptations, should help you chill out, max, ‘n relax [...]
Okay, so this one is probably a stretch for “normal” people, but this is a REALLY awesome version of a REALLY awesome song. So basically, you can’t lose.
Yes folks, today is a very special day in the history of the world. As you could have guessed by the title, it is indeed the 8th Anniversary of my Bar Mitzvah. December 2, 2000 and forever! Now my Bar Mitzvah wasn’t quite as cool as Johnny’s over here, but mine also had a live [...]
It’s your favorite band from 10 Things I Hate About You playing your favorite song by Dexy’s Midnight Runners! Although the short lived, mid-90′s ska-punk act Save Ferris produced only three releases, they managed to provide us with some quality music. This cover of “Come on Eileen” is a more fanatical, neon-colored, lighthearted, black-and-white checkered [...]
