what in the hell moment of the week

so it’s a little early in the week but i don’t think anything can top this.

this is a song about a meat sandwich in dutch. if you can’t handle the eurotrash awesome-ness for the whole three minutes and thirty seconds, just go to 3:10 to see how the dutch dance. i’ve actually witnessed this dance in person in a club.

what in the hell moment(s) of the week

#1
it’s completely unrelated to music, but it would be really cool if madison could invest in some more salt for the sidewalks. i know we just had this huge record-breaking blizzard but still. between tuesday morning and thursday night i fell three times. maybe i just have horrible balance, but i don’t think it’s just me. in fact i know it isn’t. i saw a few other people wipe out. anyone else fallen on their ass a lot in the past few days?

#2
vevo. what is the point? it just launched december 6th at midnight. it’s pretty much the same thing as youtube. except it only has videos from universal. so if you’re looking for a song that doesn’t have an official video or isn’t distributed by universal, you have to go to youtube anyways. but it’s predicted to become the largest music oriented website on the internet. i’m just not seeing that happening. at least not for a while. did anyone even know it existed? the only reason i even heard about it was because the launch party came up as a main headline for yahoo. (yes yahoo considers a party with john mayer and justin timberlake more important than things in the national news like the economy and health care.) do you think it will end up being bigger than youtube? i guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

what in the hell moment of the week

there are a lot of things in music that make me think “what in the hell”. this week it’s rolling stone’s cover. it features taylor lautner. i have several problems with this.
1. he has nothing to do with music. i know rolling stone is more than a music magazine, but i feel like the cover story should stick to musicians. or if it has to be about someone/something not music related, at least make it interesting. i don’t think taylor lautner is interesting.
2. this is the third time i can remember off the top of my head that rolling stone has tried to appeal to girls under the age of 16. the other two attempts were with the jonas brothers. ew. and i doubt any of the tweens that did buy the magazine because it featured taylor lautner or the jonas brothers actually flipped through the rest of it. rolling stone probably didn’t gain too many lifetime readers.
3. he’s 17 and he’s trying desperately to make us all forget it. maybe if he didn’t try so hard we would. but he just looks like a tool.
4. he’s only on the cover because of some rediculously horrible movie that people still go and see. new moon broke a crap-load of records, which is puzzling to me. if it’s anything like the half hour of twilight that i could actually stand to watch before turning it off, i’m sure it’s bad.
