K Lo: I’m with you on “Imagine” — love the piano, hate the lyrics. A band called A Perfect Circle has a great cover version. The music is bleak and the vocals are subdued. It’s a much-needed deconstruction of the song. It’s like the anti-”Imagine.” I’m not sure the musicians intended it that way, but that’s the result, by my lights. Definitely worth a 99-cent download.
A few things:
The Perfect Circle cover is fairly horrible as a piece of music, actually. It’s like awesomeness on valium, sifted through gauze, and then drained of life force. Which is not to say the original Imagine is awesome, but the cover was filtered through that mysterious substance known as AwesomeX
Imagine by Perfect Circle was recorded in 2003 and released in 2004. Hmm… that time seems so familiar. Anyone remember what was happening around that time? Anyone. Drawing a blank here.
One might, uh, imagine that in this here world of the internetwebby thing, the video might be on the YT, and might, you know, display the intent of the artists:
I’m scarred for life. Ergo, I must share it with you so we can live our scarred codependent lives together properly.
As parody, it’s half-assed. As candidate promotion it is among the strongest reasons possible as to why you should not, under any circumstances, vote for McCain.
I don’t know who created this, but my money’s on Al Qaeda.
If you listen to the original, you’ll notice something… autotune is Katie Price/Jordan’s best friend. BEST friend. (actually, check that, they’ve removed the mp3. Tragedy!)
Well at least my ears aren’t bleeding any more. My eyes on the other hand… (that shower scene is HIGHlarious!)
Watch as Faith Hill gets suckerpunched at the CMA for an award she thought she was going to win.
Guess doing all those magazine covers didn’t boost her votes enough. Looks like some personal assistant is going to get fired.
Sure, sure, she says it was a joke and of course I believe it was… but it’s way funnier this way. Besides anyone who sings the shit AI-er Underwood puts out does not deserve to receive any award other than a Razzie:
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn’t pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn’t even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this all my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel
Believe it or not, the song’s actually worse with the melody. Don’t believe me?
Don’t say I didn’t warned you. She does get credit for recording her video in a pawn shop, though. Nothing like $0.10 vases and glassware to set the stage for jebus’ taking your wheel and rubbing you in a circular motion, with some slow loving hot hands creeping up your thighs. Hot!
By the way, how do conservative christianists reconcile their supposed “personal responibility” principles with their welfare state reliance upon jebus/god’s provisions?
Looks like an interesting documentary re: the Dixie Chicks and the insanity fueled by the nutters when Natalie Maines said they were ashamed Bush was from Texas… which led to boycotts, protests, death threats, and “independent” radio stations refusing to play their songs.
The reaction from the jingoist nutballs was so incendiary, so ridiculous, so disproportionate to the innocuous comment by Maines, that it deserves a nice, long, objective look on the hows and the whys. I hope this documentary does that.
A recording of the Australian singer and his ultra-tanned bimbo wife singing the song “A Whole New World” has been doing the industry email rounds in recent days.
Apparently set to end up on a Christmas covers album in the UK, the tabloid couple ramble tragically through the song they danced to at their wedding last year.
Or just go to the mp3 and skip the flash-based player.
Make. The. Bad. People. Stop. I only wish this were a parody. Maybe it is. Please tell me it is. No one is this clueless as to their musical prowess, right?
I’m sharing this with the same spirit of someone who takes a 3 year old milk container out of the fridge, sniffs, blanches, and says “goddamn! this is horrible! here. smell this!”
iKaraoke sends the music from your iPod to your stereo minus the lead vocals, so you can step up to the mic and sing the lead in your favorite tunes.
iKaraoke makes it easy to pause the music, scan forward or backward, or temporarily add the vocals back in to help you find your place. It even includes reverb effects to enhance your performance.
iKaraoke hooks up to your stereo via line-in cable, or wirelessly through your FM receiver.
That I don’t actually own an iPod shall not deter me. I need something to replace the small, boring selection available in my Karaoke Revolution discs for my PS2. They’ve been fun, but there’s only so many times you can slaughter New York, New York and Under Pressure before you’re longing for 4Gb of portable mp3 player goodness.
Have you heard the news? KFed is dropping PopoZao from his soon-to-be dismal failure of an album. He’s replacing it with a duet with Britney called “Crazy.”
The aspiring rapper’s debut CD “Playing With Fire” hits shelves on Halloween, but his much-derided ode to ladies’ derrieres, “PopoZao,” reportedly won’t make the cut. It’s being replaced, reports WENN, by a duet with Britney Spears called “Crazy.”
I’m devastated. Devastated, I say!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t BritBrit already done a song called “Crazy“?
In case you haven’t seen the supremo exercise in douchebaggery that is KFed + Popozao… enjoy:
If sperm motility was considered a talent, KFed would be a superstar.
