Gossip..

I got my pre-sale tickets today for the Gossip's Oct 24th show here in Portland. I am so super excited!

To celebrate my excitement, the Gossip put out their new single and video today. "Love Long Distance" I am not really sure what to make of the video. I don't actually think the band members themselves are in the video, but can't be guaranteed of that.

Check it out yourself on their myspace page.

Song of the Day... Smoke Jumpers-My Flow So Tight (Chris Brown)

Really says it all:

Song of the Day... Aqua - Back to the 80's

Aqua has come out with their greatest hits album, yes it includes their one hit "Barbie Girl" but if you ever ventured beyond that song into their catalog you would have found some great jams. "Around the World" "Doctor Jones" "My Oh My"are just a few of my favorites.

Here is their newest single, out a couple weeks now: Back to the 80's

Madonna's Celebration

Madonna's new single "Celebration" has leaked today, it rocks my socks. It feels like a combination of some of her early hits like "Holiday" and "Into the Groove" with some of her best as of late "Hung Up".

Extra song of the day! Mika - We are Golden

Mika's second album is about to come out.. here is the video for the first single released last week, the video premiered today.

Song of the Day.. Calvin Harris - Ready for the Weekend

Calvin Harris' new album comes out in August, here is the video for the lead off single "Ready for the Weekend"

With 107+ degree predicted temperature predicted for today, I am so ready for the weekend when a cold front will be moving in and it will cool down to the high 80s!

Song of the Day... Bananarama - Love Comes

The new single from gods of the 80's, Bananarama. Don't call this a comeback, if you can remember they reformed a couple years ago and put out some banging tracks. "Look on the floor" was my fav!

anyways.. here is the new single off their upcoming album

Kinda creepy

So the secret of nimh is kinda creepy as far as kids movies go

Song of the Day... Edara-Saw Red

A remix of one of my favorite songs of the summer:

Song of the Day... Dolly Rockers - Gold Digger

Song of the Day.. Booty Luv -Say It

Song of the Day... Phoenix - Lisztomania

Lisztomania is the first single off Phoenix's new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.

Forever..

Now this is a walk down the isle!

Madonna's Celebration Cover Art

Madonna's upcoming greatest hits album has its official cover art debut! In addition to being the cover art for the album it will also be the cover art for the new single, also called "Celebration".

The image may look iconic Madonna done by Andy Warhol, however the image is actually a combination of two iconic photos of Madonna both from the early days of her career.
The face of this picture:


With the hair of this:

Created by artist Mr. Brainwash, the image invokes the famous painting of Marilyn Monroe

And stuff

Don't really have a whole lot to say at the moment. I am awaiting the arrival of my friend Morgan and her husband, Josh. They are on their way to Seattle for a family reunion. They will be staying with me tonight, which I'm super excited about. Morgan is going off to the Cleveland to continue her education at Case Western Reserve. We are going to go watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We are all geeky people like that. We also like board games and reading. They are both fun. Josh is such a lightweight when drinking, he gets buzzed off one beer and has a grin from ear to ear.

I have a family reunion myself this weekend. My sister and I will be traveling on Saturday morning to Sunriver in central Oregon. We are going to be meeting up with our parents, grandparents, and a bunch of aunts and uncles. I am apprehensive about it all. Some of my family are conservative religious racist homophobic sexists, I will be avoiding them in most cases. I will be taking my iPod and a good book to escape them. I do however adore my parents and my grandparents. I hope we get to play some pinochle.

Song of the Day... David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over

The song is a couple months old now, but it's a great jam, one of the early contenders for Summer Jam 09 (of which I still don't think we have a clear winner) Kelly sounds a looks amazing, I hope she comes out with an album based around her new found dancedivadom. David Guetta has always impressed me and his new album comes out in August.

I'm a Popera Star

This is my fantastic friend Conrad performing as Katya Sminoff-Sky, yes she really is singing.

Project Runway All Stars!

Gossip - Heavy Cross:

Lady Gaga's next single? all about the boys!

Rumors are that Lady Gaga's next single the US will either be Boys Boys Boys, or Summerboy.. You know how i love them boys in general.. I've always thought that Summerboys would be a great single.. but Boys do buy us drinks in bars..

Here they both are:

Lady Gaga's Boys Boys Boys:



Lady Gaga's Summerboy:

Lady Gaga and Republican.. secret besties?

CNN is currently running a story that says that the G.O.P. big wigs were shown a parody of Lady Gaga's massive hit "Just Dance". This parody is titled "Just Tax". The video, created by recent college graduate and show to Republican's in order to highlight its abilities to use technology and new media. I find just a few things wrong with this..

First, song parody isn't using technology or new media in any way shape or form. I'm a child of the 80's and remember the brilliance that is Wierd Al's "I'm Fat" and "Like a Surgeon". Using today's pop cultural equivalents to make parodies isn't using new media or technology... FAIL

Second, Lady Gaga gonna rip you apart!

Third, G.O.P. your outdated message of high taxes isn't going to resonate with the youth of America and the aging class that message will resonate with don't have a clue who Lady Gaga is, just like many of you.

Fourth, this just reminds me of the funniest part of the national party conventions of watching the middle aged and old white people dancing in suits to music that are shown during any break in the staged show. Can't you just imagine seeing McCain, McConnel,Hatch, Boehner etc... suit, ties, and loafers.. HAHA
