Janet Jackson: Before the crazy

Oh that sweet, endearing crazy of the Jackson family. They are American Royalty. Embrace it. And may we remember the times they hid their crazy well.

An ode to Janet! “Rhythm Nation” is some good shit.

Happy weekend!!!!

Watch this now: No Doubt performs at the Teen Choice Awards

I love No Doubt. And I think it’s kinda funny that they performed at the Teen Choice Awards, because if you asked any teen before this award show if they knew who No Doubt was, they would probably be sweating drops of Bieberfever all over their shoes in anxiety that some other bitches were stealing stage time from their Dear Leader. But good marketing to a younger crowd anyways, because they are the only folks who pay for things these days thanks to good ol’ Mom and Dad.

The kids also may be confused about live music, vocals, band things, etc. as well. Oh, kids! So sweet.

This is fucking beautiful: Mike and Cody cover Britney’s “Toxic”

 

HOLY SHIT. SO SO SO GOOD. It gives it such a different dimension and feel. Love it!

Check out the new No Doubt video!!!!

Look at that fucking skin. Awesome. Image via ryanseacrest.com

I am so excited to watch No Doubt back in action again. Strangely, it feels different and foreign to see a woman jumping around like a rock star in a music video, instead of shooting guns or spraying cream from her tits. Popular music is so full of ladies and mens trying to one up each other in crazy outfits and even crazier gossip. Gaga’s blood and semen perfume and everything she has ever worn, Katy Perry’s fantasy divorce, marriage and candy themed life, Nikki Minaj with her butt implants and multiple personalities, even Frank Ocean coming out as bi right before his debut album dropped (most definitely commendable in the hip hop scene, but also great publicity); it all gets a little exhausting to keep up with after a while. (Damn you 24 hour news cycle!)

Gwen and the ND boys are a refreshing departure from everyone on the radio right now, not only musically but fashionably as well. Gwen isn’t showing us her crack or tits or wearing anything too crazy. I love her tank tops and her hair back and her pants and FLATS, because could you ever imagine Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or Nikki Minaj stepping outside, let alone in a music video, without some RIDICULOUS AS FUCK outfit on? Don’t get me wrong- the crazy outfits are fun. But when everyone in the industry is doing it to constantly one up each other, is it really unique anymore?

Check out the vid below. Welcome back guys!!!!

The new No Doubt single is fucking awesome

Here’s the new single in case you haven’t heard it!! This is really exciting. It still has a No Doubt flavor and a sweet sweet melody. The new video drops tonight on E! I will definitely be listening to this song on repeat. I can’t wait for their album Push and Shove to come out in September!! I will bleed myself dry for tickets to this show. A MUST.

Listen: The xx release new single “Angels”

The xx’s new song “Angels” is suuuuper pretty. What else would you expect?

Listen: The Killers’ “Runaways”

The Killers are always worth a good listen. They bring back so many memories. Love these guys forever.

Kinda reminiscent of Springsteen in the chorus, no?!

Listen: Passion Pit: “Constant Conversations”

Image via prettymuchamazing.com

This is the best the Passion Pit singer, Michael Angelakos, has ever been. It actually sounds like singing as opposed to the sort of pop yell over electro tracks. This is a light, airy track that is perfect for strolling on a sunny day in the best way ever. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. Gossamer is out July 24.

Catch them on tour this summer!!

Music: The Killers debut new album cover

Hells to the yeah. This looks SO Killers-esque. Glam Nevada. Love it.

This is the single cover for their song “Runaways” from their album Battleborn that will be in our graces this fall. CAN’T WAIT! No Doubt and the Killers? This fall is gonna be the shit.

So Justin Timberlake is doing this now

This is just too funny. I can’t wait to see this movie. Image via laineygossip.com

I love JT so much. Really. But no.

I actually can’t tell what it is about the hair that shocks me so much. Is it that I’ve never seen him with Ken doll hair before? IS it the side part? What about the sideswept bang? Or the color?

There are just too many shocking things about his hair right now. He’s filming Runner, Runner in Puerto Rico. Maybe that’s why he’s been tweeting so much.

But for real, this is what imdb has to say about the movie:

“A businessman is caught up in the world of offshore online gaming.”

GTFO!

Oh JT. PLEASE. COME BACK TO MUSIC. WE BEG. WE WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE ALBUM, I SWEAR.
