Top 10 Music Videos

So I thought i’d throw together a Top 10 Music Videos List. I was going to just make it a Top 5′er, but there are so many that I couldn’t narrow it down. Take a look. Keep in mind that there are a ton of great videos out there. This is just a small selection from the music I listen to…

• 10. Taking Back Sunday - Greatest Romances Of The 20th Century
  Nothing too special about this one, but it reminds me of when the band was real.
• 9. Less Than Jake - Dopeman
  Great tune. Love the rollerskate tribute…
• 8. Punchline - Don’t Try This At Home
  Pittsburgh finest emo / punk band. These guys rock.

  Uhhh Brittany Snow as the nurse? You know it.

Bar Songs That Will Get You Laid

Ok so maybe these songs won’t get you laid, but they will make the night much more enjoyable. I have compiled a list of jukebox hits that will stun the drunkards craving sing-a-long sensations.

In no particular order:

1. Don’t Stop Believing by Journey - Guys, don’t get caught singing.
2. The Difference by The Wall Flowers - The chorus is easy to pick up.
3. What I Got by Sublime - Really any sublime song will work, but this is most known
4. Say It Ain’t So by Weezer - This song is risky. Should hit home with a younger crowd.
5. Pinball Wizard by The Who - Such a great song.
6. Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield - People will love it. Again, guys might want to avoid singing…
7. One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by George Thorogood - It’s 9 minutes long. A value play to say the least.
8. Piano Man by Billy Joel - Everyone will sing along
9. Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond - For the older ladies in the crowd who are grasping onto what youth they have left.
10. You Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC - Classic Rock at it’s finest

These are only 10 of the many songs that will make a night at the bar. Granted, you have to play to the crowd if you want everyone to enjoy. Pick the right song for the right girl and you might just get laid.

Godspeed.

MC Chris - Rap Artist Of The Year????

You probably don’t know about one of the greatest self proclaimed nerd rapper’s in the world today, MC Chris. If you do, you might be my long lost best friend. For the rest, I would like to introduce you to him.

He stands at 5′nothing and probably weighs close to 100 pounds. At a glance you would think he is a teenage kid and after hearing his voice you’d be sure of it.

If you can get beyond all that you might digg his style.

He has done guest appearances on Aqua Teen Hunger Force as the voice of McPeePants and Sir Loin.

There is not much more I can say other than check out some of his stuff on the MC Chris Myspace Page. His music will do the talking. Unfortunately, I cannot find any streams of his latest album “Dungeon Master Of Ceremonies”, which is my favorite right now.

Here are some tunes I found that you can listen now. In the Mario Song, the opening line is from a movie. What movie is it? I know SOME of you know it…

This song is from an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Add Your Music Playlist To “Project Playlist”

I found this flash music player on some chick’s myspace page the other day. It let’s you add almost any song to your “playlist” and then you can put the player on any site you wish. It’s a pretty neat little app., but I am not sure how legal it is. Until the site goes down or I get a letter from the RIAA I’ll continue to use it. Get your own flash playlist player.

Enjoy a sampling of my music.

Attention - You Have Bad Taste In Music!

I am a music snob. I’ll admit it, but I am not as bad as one of those “only indie music is worth listening to” type people. I am picky. I absolutely HATE the shit that is pushed down our throats on the radio, MTV, and other media outlets. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of bands out there who started out small, paid their dues, and worked their way to MTV / star status. I am OK with that.

I have issues with bands who undeservingly “make it big” way too fast. They are tons of bands like this, but off the top of my head I think of Panic! At The Disco, so I will refer to them. These “artists” don’t put in the same amount of time (and usually effort) as other, more deserving bands.

Instead they kick out a CD designed to appeal to a large teenage audience (catchy hooks, off-beat lyrics, “alternative” look, etc.) and get picked up by a major label who floods this shat-tastic sound all over the TV, Radio and Internet - boom! instant popularity. It’s great that they make it to that level, but not fair to other bands who have been around for YEARS and have way more talent.

It frustrates me to see bands put everything they have into their music and barely get by. I guess that is a true testament that a band is truely about their music and their fans, not so much the money. These are the people who should be rewarded, not bands like P!ATD.

Check out this guy who goes to pop music concerts and insults people. While I don’t agree with his approach, he does spell it out pretty nicely.
Rant Over.
