The other day, I realized that we're at the start of a 90s music revival, and I couldn't be more excited.

And Brooklyn-based trio Your Youth is proving that to be true. Sounding like early (good) Weezer or Jimmy Eat World, these guys make me feel 16 again. 

After watching their video for "Diamond", I found myself wondering, is this how hipsters party? Duct taping their hands to their drinks, leaving them incapable of using the washroom or eating? I'm not going to lie... that kinda looks fun. And that pizza looks delicious. I'd be down for a party like that, as long as it's not a my place. I hate cleaning up after people.

Admittedly, I'm not an expert on hip hop music. 

However, even I was blown away by this 4-minute history of hip hop, performed by French beatboxer EKLIPS. 

I'm always so impressed by people who can beatbox. I like to think I can beatbox...but it sounds more like a dying cow's last fart.

Check it out!

Here's one of my latest songs, "Sing". Enjoy!

Why won't she just go away?

Heidi Montag has released a new song called "Heartbeat". And, as expected, it's horrible. The beat goes nowhere and the chorus sounds messy and you can barely hear what she's saying. I guess it's hard to sing after all that plastic surgery.

It really annoys me that she keeps trying to make this music career happen. No matter what, she won't have any credibility.

This girl takes the term "tenacity" to a whole other level.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIC!!!

While we wait for Britney Spears to debut her highly anticipated video for "Hold It Against Me", directed by Jonas Ackerlund, let's just watch this well-made mash-up video using Brit's older videos. I forgot how good her music videos are!

I don't get it.

Nicki Minaj has this reputation as being a crazy, over-the-top, visually entertaining artist. And she is, but in other people's videos. Not really her own.

I mean, her videos started off strong with "Your Love" and "Check It Out", but then with "Right Thru Me", she just became straight up boring. Talk about a snooze fest of a video.

And now, she's released her latest video "Moment 4 Life" featuring Drake. It's her take in Cinderella, I guess. It's got a really annoying intro. And then the song is a slow jam and all that happens is Nicki poses in various wigs before she finally makes out with Drake. 

What is with this chick? My friend Kathleen commented that it looks like an old school 90s R&B video... but in a bad way. 

It's a shame she saves all of her best stuff for other people's work. 

In her new video for "I Will Follow", Lykke Li kinda creeps me out. 

There she is, shrouded in black robes, chasing a man through the snowy woods. It's the stuff nightmares are made of.

But then, at the end, the man stops running and Lykke showers him with kisses. And it's then that I realize the song isn't about blind devotion, as I originally thought. It's a well-informed devotion, actually.

It seems that Lykke is promising that she will follow her lover, no matter how dark and stormy the waters of his mind is. That she's willing to accept him for all his faults and that he can run all he wants, but she'll be there to deal with his shit. 

Sweet... in a dark and twisty way.
