This is officially the cheesiest pop song in all of pop song history. Feel free to leave comments with contenders, but honestly you can’t cut this cheese with a knife. In just three minutes they manage to pack it all in, and if the title doesn’t just scream “POP!” I don’t know what does. If you are ever feeling a little blue, just put this song on and you are guaranteed to crack a smile even if it’s at the sheer insanity of it’s poptasticness. Read more »

Today’s some is another one of my random discovery’s from several years ago. I originally discovered this band under the name “The Modern” and they were getting some radio play over in Europe I believe and then for some reason they decided to change their name to “Matinee Club” and then they kinda just seemed to fall off the radar, or at least my radar anyways. I think it was a bad career move personally, and I just read up on their Wikipedia that they recently decided to go back to… Read more »

I recently had a few dates with a guy who pretty much loved all types of music but absolutely despised Macy Gray. I enjoyed giving him a hard time by telling him I was going to make him a “Best of Macy” mix cd (In actuality I made myself one a few years back!). I couldn’t fault him because I have an equal distaste for Mariah Carey. Yes, I did just say that, it’s out there and I’m willing to take the hate mail. Bring it.
But Mariah is not why… Read more »

One of the PR companies we have been working with sent over this group (three girls) a couple of days ago and were eager to us to throw these girls a review. As long as we fall in love with the music we are more than happy to oblige! And these these three girls from Scandinavia are hot hot hot!
At first listen I thought they had a bit more of an M.I.A. meets Peaches sound, then the more I listened I realized they had more of a CSS meets The… Read more »

If ya’ll haven’t heard this track yet give it a listen. I was surprised and shocked to see that Ace of Base was making a comeback as a threesome! I did not know this but was uber excited when I came across their new version of “Wheel of Fortune” for 2009 off their soon to be greatest hits. I used to be a huge Ace of Base fan, and I might have caught a lot of shit for it in high school but I was a fan regardless. The single… Read more »

With the election just a few days away I thought it would be a great idea for a Friday Five of political pop songs! These are some of my favorites and thanks to the other Jiingo authors for suggestions for this list. It was harder than I thought to come up with just five although I’m sure there are plenty out there. Read more »

On our way back from seeing Janet Jackson in concert last month Ricky asked me if I had heard Christina’s new version of “Genie in a Bottle”. All he had was the live version on his iPod but he played it for me anyways and my ears were pleased. Since then I’ve been curious to hear the real thing. Today a 30 second clip of the studio version came online and I thought I’d share it with you guys. Thoughts? I love it! I’ve always been a fair-weather Christina fan… Read more »

Wow. I have to start off by saying that I’m kinda over the pop songs referencing classics. Rihanna did it best with her S.O.S. remixes, and everything since then has been rather sub par but damn if Hilary Duff’s new single “Reach Out” isn’t hot. It samples “Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus” and at first I wasn’t impressed because of the sampling but the video just premiered today and sold me. Hilary looks phenomenal, dare I say Kylie-esque? The lips, the outfits, the styling for the video all perfect. I… Read more »

Just a quick note that Lady Gaga’s album “The Fame” was released in the United States today although it’s already been out in Canada for quite some time now. We did a write up about it after it was released there because it’s so good we had to tell you about it right away. It will definitely be in my top “Albums of the year list”. Luckily she added two extra tracks to the American release for anyone who might have already gotten their Canadian copy. Those two tracks are “Paper… Read more »

Does anyone remember that dumb bitch that David Beckham cheated on Victoria with? That would be Rebecca Loos a.k.a. Phoenix. She has technically done some celebrity things in the past before the scandal, but I feel like she tried to launch her music career from it. Some of the bigger moments in her career include appearing in Playboy, performing fellatio on her boyfriend on an airplane and getting caught, masturbating a pig on television, a fake marriage, and then of course there was the whole Beckham thing. We could be… Read more »
