I have no idea who Michael Paynter is, but this new song of his featuring The Veronicas is got a nice “gritty” feeling to it that draws you in. Have a listen:

I remember the time
When I was searching my mind
Just to find out if I ever define who I am
Could I ever afford to consider [...]

After a few high profile songs featuring Bruno Mars (like Nothing On You and Billionaire), Bruno Mars has finally released his first solo song and it’s a pretty good one.

Talk about a pretty good way to build up your name and reputation before launching your own song! Smart marketer, this Bruno Mars.

Oh her eyes, her [...]

Even though I featured this song on Music Monday 80, the music video was just released and I think the video adds so much power to the song that it’s worth featuring again.
A few things:

Eminem looks great.

So does Dominic Monaghan (great move to shave his head)

Rihanna still looks trashy.

Megan Fox takes great care not to [...]

So tonight I was all ready to feature a certain artist for this week’s Music Monday, until I realised that this particular label doesn’t allow people from outside North America to watch their videos on YouTube.
Look, it’s 2010. Geographical boundaries are smaller than ever and close to non-existent on the internet. You take away easy [...]

Besides having a pretty weird name, Lady Antebellum also has a pretty catchy song in “Need You Now“. It has a pretty Country feel to it which leaves me with the imagery of what you might hear from Taylor Swift if she sang in a band.

Not too sure about the meaning of the song though.. [...]

Rihanna actually sounds good for the first time since Shut Up and Drive but unfortunately she looks downright trashy in the live version of this song. Seriously what is up with those thighs?? [...]

I know I’m a sucker for these shows but I really did love Music and Lyrics and so, here’s what to do if you’re hopeless doofus like Hugh Grant. Being good looking doesn’t hurt either, I suppose.

For all the Star Wars fans out there, a remix of Empire State of Mind originally by Jay Z and Alicia Keys, redone by the people over at College Humour (is Princess Leia hot or what?):

I am a pretty big Michelle Branch fan and actually own both Hotel Paper and Spirit Room and have listened to her Wreckers stuff on and off.
However, I’m pretty underwhelmed by “Getaway”, doubly underwhelmed when you consider Timbaland is working with her on it. It could be just me, but I think songs with “na [...]

I know it was just Father’s Day but because we all love our moms, here’s “The Mom Song“.
If there’s one thing this song proves, it’s that moms are all the same around the world.
