Music Monday – War Pigs

Anyone opposed to a little Black Sabbath on your Monday morning?….Didn’t think so.

A Song and Music Video Called “#SELFIE” Exists

I was having such a good life not knowing about this. But this song just had to come on the radio this morning. And now I just hate everything about this world. The fact that people like this are going to be famous or make any semblance of money off of this piece of shit song is infuriating to me. We couldn’t find another guy with long hair to play an acoustic version of a love song on his sitar  and give him some airtime? At least he can play an instrument. This literally takes no talent at all and anyone who argues otherwise is wrong. When our civilization eventually collapses and a new species takes over, I really hope they’re still able to watch YouTube, because they need to see this. They need to see the downfall of the music industry, basic integrity and the human race. #SELFIE accomplishes all three. I don’t who or what the Chainsmokers are, but I hope they vanish into thin air. Thanks for ruining my life assholes.

P.S. The Hoff went down about 5 million pegs in my book. I’d rather see him hate eating a cheeseburger off the floor than watch him in this video.

Busta Rhymes is Apparently on the Ryan Diet

That video is kind of long because Pharrell decided to play every song he’s ever written last night, so for a good shot of the new and improved Busta Rhymes let’s go to our friends on Twitter:

Busta Rhymes has apparently adopted the Ryan diet. Eat calzones and meatballs for every meal and drink a 30 pack on the weekend. If it’s not a good look for me it’s definitely not a good look for Busta. The only other logical thing I can think of is Busta Rhymes exists in the Men in Black universe and this “new” Busta ate his former self and is now bent on world domination. That scenario actually sounds a lot better than my current diet.

P.S. Who’s that in the picture with Busta?? Drake, the man with the most friends in the entire fucking world

Your Cell Phone 20 Years Ago

This is kind of insane when you think about it. In your pocket lies a machine that has the power to call people, take pictures, play music, multiply numbers, surf the web, pay for your groceries, and a whole bunch of other useful things. Tell that to someone your age 20 years ago and they might burn you at the stake for being a witch.

PS- Is it weird that I wish the cassette tape made a comeback? Vinyl’s did, why not the old plastic cassette? TELL ME! ………Sorry, that got out of hand.

Billy Ray Cyrus Has His Finger on the Pulse of America

I’m not really sure what to say about this video. Larry King, spaceships, black guys in cowboys hats. I guess it’d be easier to mention what this video DOESN’T have. I think this video should end the discussion on what’s wrong with Miley Cyrus. If my dad was this insane I’d probably hump a teddy bear and shave my eyebrows too. I sincerely hope I never see another Billy Ray Cyrus again. Either that or I hope I go blind.

P.S. Makayla Bartley sums up this video so perfectly.

Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar Rocked SNL

This ‘Radioactive’ remix is as good as it gets. Always nice to see two artists at or near the top of their respective genres combine for some musical magic. That it happened on stage 8H makes it all the better. In an unrelated note, I’m going to need a jacket with a fur hood pronto.

Shakira and Rihanna’s New Music Video Made Me Feel Things

This video was better than most soft core porns I’ve watched. Not that I watch a lot of soft core porn, but you get the point. The chica from Colombia and the beauty from Barbados need to team up more often, because now every music video I watch will be a terrible let down. For now, let’s enjoy the music.

Goodbye Justin Bieber

Source – Justin Bieber is in trouble – again.

The pop star was arrested early Thursday for drag racing and DUI in Miami Beach, police confirmed on Twitter. Police say R&B artist Khalil was also arrested.

Bieber was charged with resisting arrest and had consumed alcohol and marijuna, reports AP.

Bieber, 19, was in a rented yellow Lamborghini.

A while ago I wrote about the slow and steady downfall that Justin Bieber was going through. Now before I get started here, I want it to be clear that I could care less if this guy fails. He’s 19 and he’s already made more money than me, slept with more girls and is one of the most recognizable people on the planet. I’m just here to call a spade a spade. You want to know why Justin Bieber is going to fail? Because he lacks the one thing that every famous person had who fucked up and got their life back together: resiliency. He got discovered on YouTube by Usher, made a cute popsy song that attracted literally the easiest audience to attract (young girls) and got a boatload of fame and fortune thrown in his face. Now that the shit is hitting the fan, he wants his bodyguards and inner circle to make everything go away like it’s a bad dream. Unfortunately for him, it’s real life.

Do you ever wonder why so many child actors/musicians have fucked up lives? Because a 16, 17, 18, 19 year old shouldn’t be living in Los Angeles or Hollywood where the vices outnumber pretty much anything good or moral you’re trying to accomplish. That’s why it’s always great to see someone like Justin Timberlake, who got famous young (17 when NSync started taking off), but kept his head above water and turned into an other worldly talent. DUI’s are becoming so common for celebrities that Bieber may get off the hook for this one, go back to making his music for teenage girls, and have a good career. But if I were a betting man, I’d say this is just the beginning of something bad.

Back to the resiliency angle. Does Justin Bieber strike you as someone who deals with animosity well? The same kid who had his bodyguards carry him up the Great Wall of China doesn’t seem like he’s taking the backlash in stride. Again, his bread and butter IS MAKING SONGS FOR TEENAGE GIRLS. Even at the peak of his fame, no one took this guy seriously. So now that everything is going wrong, who does he lean on to get his shit right? If I had cameras in my face 24/7 while websites like TMZ were dissecting my every move, I’d probably lose my mind too. In a way, its kind of sad to see a 19 year old with the world by the balls just be such an idiot and an asshole. Between the constant bad press, on and off retirement and the general dismay people my age or older have for him, it’s going to be a long road back to the top. Like I said, I’m not rooting for him to fail, but at this point, I don’t see any other outcome.
