Song of the Day.. Flipsyde - When It Was Good

RedOne produced Flipsyde comes out with a great track. They remind me of the Black Eyed Peas with a bit less urban hip hop and more Euro Dance.

File this under.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

Bill O'Reilly on his broadcast last night said that there's "something very wrong" about the idea of a "major American corporation promoting the election of Barack Obama and then seeking to profit from his policies."

I wonder if Bill actually ever thinks about what he says. Perhaps he doesn't have the intellectual ability to understand that what he says could in fact be called hypocritical. Gee Bill, did you forget everything that has happened on the network you call home since it's inception? Fox "News" is the one of the biggest examples of a large corportation seeking to profit from the promotion of a President's policies. It's entire premise since its dawning has been to tear down Democrats and build up Republicans.

There is something wrong with Bill O'Reilly.

Song of the Day.. Colin Hay - I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You

Long title, beautiful song..
The grey cool morning weather has me in a mood

Silly, just silly

UGH!
When I want to post a song of the day, I go to YouTube to find the video. It is a great way to highlight some of my favorite songs, new and old. I grab the embed code, and bring it on over and post it here. However, there are many music labels out there that disable the embed option on their artists' music videos, thus not allowing me to bring that content over to my little tiny blog. Isn't the point of a music video is that of selling the artist and the song and the album? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow people to spread the music far and wide to increase popularity of the song and artist? Wouldn't that maybe help sell more records and tickets? What is their concern about embeding the song? I'd love to showcase some great talent but in their over zealous protection they prevent that. I think that is just silly.

Song of the Day.. Eva Simons - Silly Boy

A couple months ago, a low quality song leaked, it was claimed to be that of Rihanna and Lady Gaga teaming up together. The Song: "Silly Boy". Both camps denied it was them. It turns out it is an artist named Eva Simons. If the song "Silly Boy" is any indication she could turn out to be the musical love child of Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Enjoy!
