Song of the Day - Float On

For every good thing you have or good news you receive there are consequently bad things that come along with it.  As bad as it may be, it should serve to remind us of how great the good really is.

Song of the Day - The Wave

They are back, Thanks!

Song of the Day - Santa Fe

Very clever video and fun song

Song of the Day - High Energy

The 80's were so gay.  Not stupid gay, gay gay. For some reason (past life?)  this and a couple of late 70's early 80's songs keep POPPIN into my head.  Today it was this song and "Catch Me!  I'm falling in love."

Anyhow I looked this song up and low and behold there is a video, shot in a club....with very gay dance moves...a black woman who is perhaps very GLBT-friendly, and gender-challenged, on a platform spinning her wig off.

I'm serious at one point as she spins, cue in the 80's dissolve effect and her high voice, I genuinely thought she would spin through the floor.  If she did those people in the club wouldn't even notice they were so high on booger sugar.  Still a great song-

Song of the Day - Jimmy

Its actually yesterday's song but it was in my head today as well

Song of the Day - T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)

If anything else Will.I.Am definitely makes great music to work out to.  I remember when the Black Eyed Peas were struggling for air time:



Even this was a more mainstream, recruiting Macy Gray at her highest. But a 5 minute search for a BEP video prior to this one will prove to be futile, lol.  There's nothing wrong with that, but if there has ever been a group that should be proof of a formula that works for mainstream success; ditch the hardcore rap music, add a female (preferably a white girl who's borderline black), produce fun, mindless music with one or two songs with a message, add mindless and fun songs on your cd's ala "my humps," then pretty much ditch R&B altogether and make trance music.  It sounds simple but throughout you still have to be tenacious.

Anyhow, that's my perspective on BEP and Will.I.Am, I love what he does (except when he writes songs for presidents), but sometimes I listen to some of his lyrics and their are much more grandiose than some rappers out there "Kill you with my lyricals, call me verbal criminal."

Will.I.Am has now mastered the true essence of an artist and how; borrowing from different artistic platforms and incorporating them into a nice, new package.  In the song of the day, T.H.E, he begins the video running through a wall etc, etc, Fuerza Bruta.  Then he pretty much borrows Jennifer Lopez and Fergilizes her.

By far my favorite is his homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey:

That and fucking Mick Jagger!  When I saw the video my first thought was yup, that's what space would look like-

So the lesson here is...Will.I.Am is so big now and his lyrics prove it, I feel like we should Occupy him.

Song of the Day - The Morning

The Weeknd was introduce to me by a Tween, lol.  just kidding, a good friend during the summer.  If you haven't heard of him yet, you may so in the near future.  This Canadian-born singer's got two albums out, GET THEM.  They are really good, the lyrics are great.  I like this slow jam.




The fact that this is the official video is highly suspect.
