“I want you to” … see this video

I’m so totally sad that Green Day is not as cool as Weezer.

As Weezer gets more radically awesome… Green Day slips into the mtv culture cesspool… see their “21st Century Breakdown” video directed by Marc Webb

Maybe it has to do with all the “Raditude”  that’s coming out Nov. 3, or maybe it’s the fact they are designing a snuggie…

I digress I was actually going to talk about their new music video “I want you to” which was also directed by (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb.

The colors, the clothing, and the humor are spot on and totally in line with the fashion and musical senses of Weezer. Also I love the flair of the Twilight Zone splashed around in this video.

I must show a few still shots from the video because I’m a terrible mess at embedding.

Firstly I’m suprised Isabel has never vacationed here:

And here’s some River’s I’m digging his hair:

And this is Brian who is a slick, and dreamy car attendant:

I think Scott should always wear suspenders:

And here’s Pat playing a “dangerous” game”:

Here’s a very strange barber shop quartet consisting of exponential weezies:

and finally the whole band mostly together:

I can’t figure how to embed the video so you can see Weezer’s awesome video for ” I want you to” at the linky here. Enjoy!

Jimmy’s Musical Doodles

There are many times when we are guilty of schadenfroh, or taking glee in the midst of others pain.

here is one of those moments, brought to you by me!

Here are some doodles of Jimmy as current musical icons:

 and of course as Lady G! the queen of whatever it is that she does…

You took joy in this.

Sorry Jimmy

Lady Gaga’s Inspiration

You may see her shirtless and sometimes pantless action… but is Lady Gaga hiding something?

 

No I’m not talking about the people who says she’s a Mister Gaga… I’m talking about her fashion inspirations….

Is she hiding the fact that her “look” & fashion come from the hit cartoon Jem & the Holograms?

I think Lady G looks a lot like Jem/Jerrica…  you can note the similarities yourself….

Lady Gaga:

Jem:

Do you remember that Jem’s theme song promises you “Adventure… excitement… Glamour and glitter, Fashion and fame!” Doesn’t that sound like Lady Gaga’s game?

Jem thinks this is truly outrageous… 
If you are an 80’s child you remember the wild fashions that happened on this more than rad cartoon. The makeup, the hair, the uneccessary drama, the boyfriend who is in love with the same girl more than once. This sounds eerily identical to the happenings of Lady Gaga.

 But I really don’t mind….. because Lady Gaga is fabulous without holograms… and if there were a movie about Jem (that wasn’t Hanna Montana) I think Lady Gaga should star in it.

Ohhhhhhh the lovegame.

 

Have a truly Outrageous Day!

Monday’s Elvis: Elvis Costello

Let’s talk about

I cannot stop listening to Elvis Costello.

I don’t think this is a major suprise as I listen to Bowie, Toto, and Men at work in my regular rotation….actually sometimes I like to pretend that it is years or even decades ago with my music…but i digress

I even stayed up last night to watch a concert he did in 2007 on VH1… even though I’ve already seen it. But it was amazing, and so worth my groggy morning..

There is something about him that always makes me smile. I adore his humor, and his lyrics… all in all he’s adorable. And not only is his music great, but he does awesome covers…. like “Suspicious Minds” “My Funny Valentine” and “Beautiful”.

Enjoy Elvis Costello!

Tuesday’s Lauryn

I was most adamantly into rock since early teen-hood.

But I could never deny the sheer magic of Lauryn Hill, or the Fugees.

Her voice was awesome… I also remember that i loved her clothes… And she was so pre-Fergie fantastic.

Also when she went solo… she still kicked ass

I also like how similar her name was to mine…  but I digress

Enjoy this video from Lauryn (which is one of my favorite videos)

Then enjoy this not so great video from Wyclef Jean (who’s post Fugee’s work has not really impressed me)

Losing Touch

 I’m in no hurry, you go on
And tell your friends I’m losing touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

I have no clue why there are so many “Killers” inspired posts as of late.

But I’m really in this mood for their synthisized wonder tunes…

I have a feeling this site may become a darling to the Brandon Flowers community since I have been adoring his clothing as of late:

 

His clothing is quite smashing actually. I think more people should dress like he does…

And he also reminds me that I really need to invest in some feathery outfits and more feathery accessories:

 

 

Did i mention that the music is also fun:

Have you had your Wham! today?

Today I’m having the best time listening to Wham!

If you feel inclined to listen to Wham! I suggest you do the following

-Listen to “Young Guns”

-Grab a friend and try to sing a Wham! song in Kareoke… I suggest “Careless Whispers”

-Pull that “Choose Life” shirt out of your closet

-Jitterbug until you hit that High…

-feather your locks

Renew your membership to the Andrew Ridgeley fanclub:

And then dress like George Michael Post Wham! … little stubble and all.

and wake me up before you go-go.
