Video Friday: "Do You Realize", The Flaming Lips

What would you do if you won a million bucks: Donate it to charity? Buy a fancy car? Take a trip around the world? Crikey, that's boring! On the other hand, hiring an entourage of dancing models and bunnymen to follow you down the street--now you're on to something.

P.S. For a song that has the lyrics "Everyone you know some day will die", this song is surprisingly uplifting.

Video Friday #19: The Connells, "'74-'75"

I was the one who let you know, I was your sorry-ever-after.

2006 should have been my 15th high-school reunion, although it didn't happen. (Or, at least, I wasn't invited...) To the random person who knew me in high school, and found this blog after googling everybody in the yearbook, let me just say: I have no idea what the hell happened to me, either.

How to create a sexy pop star

A fascinating clip from the soon-to-be-released-to-dvd documentary "Before The Music Dies": Take a hot but untalented girl, some software, and a hell of a lot of post production, and voila: pop drivel of the week.
