Songs you should hear #11

02 Sep 2008 In: music, video

Was browsing through MySpace and ran into this amazing artist, Ray LaMontagne. His voice is just … mmmm yeah, amazing. Check out his song Trouble. It’ll blow your socks off. Seriously, it’s beautiful. And did I mention his voice is amazing?

Blast from the (embarrassing) past

28 Aug 2008 In: funny, music, video

The 80s were super embarrassing for most of us who lived through it and I’m not sure about you guys but I’d like to get a case of the amnesia when it comes to that particular decade. But due to some random internet surfing I ran into something long since forgotten, at least by me, and I just have to share, because it’s too awesome and too wonderfully embarrassing not to.

Okay so here’s the deal. I spend quite a few summers in Japan in the 80s and 90s and couldn’t help but to be exposed to some epic Japanese pop music while I was there. I might not remember much from those summers in Tokyo but Hikaru Genji was one of the most (embarrassingly) memorable bands from that time that I still remember after like 20 years.

This here is some epic *hit right here.

I mean, come on. Guys in rollerskates singing Japanese pop with English words thrown in there for good measure. Forget your NKOTB, Backstreet Boys and *NSync, I mean these guys did the dance moves with *ucking rollerskates way before any of those bands! There is no contest, Hikaru Genji FTW!

The hilariously sad and weird part? I actually started singing to the chorus after hearing it again… I *ucking remembered the chorus! “Star light, star light…”

There’s so much epic hilarity in this band that I cannot possibly describe it properly, so you must see it for yourself to believe. Prepare to lose … your … *hit because if you think 80s were embarrassing for you, try this for measure:

I just finished watching Doomsday and not only was it a surprisingly awesome movie, it featured one of my favorite songs … Club Foot by Kasabian. An oldie but a goodie. Check it.
