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 [...]

I had no idea who The Saturdays were until I heard this song and did some research, turns out they’re a girl pop group from the UK. All I can say is only the girl with the short hair catches my attention and the cheesy water-splashing-dancing bit is terrible, but the song itself is pretty [...]

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 [...]

Heard this on the radio while driving the other day and I really do like the emotion Eminem puts into his lyrics. 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.

So apparently Orianthi is a 25 year old Aussie girl who was handpicked by Michael Jackson to be his lead guitarist for his comeback. She’s also got this catchy song called “According To You“:

So just three things:
1) This girl knows how to play the guitar
2) Given her musical “cred”, this is a terribly mass market [...]
