Aaron Carter vs. LMFAO - Aaron’s Party Rocking

I left Tumblr open overnight and this was the top post I came back to, and it feels like a reassurance (Thank you, all of you; I’ll get back to you when I can) that everything’s gonna be okay. It’s also fucking awesome.

Unexpectedly excellent at this precise moment.

Woman-beating rage-broccoli Chris Brown lip-synced his single “Turn Up the Music” (without being threatened by Sir Elton John) and danced roughly as well as a third-rate Chicago footwork dancer. He ended his performance by back-flipping off the stage, though sadly not off the earth.

Whatever the merits of “Set Fire to the Rain” as a song—honestly, to me, it’s one of the middling tracks on Adele’s album—it’s fascinating as a chart phenomenon, the culmination of the evolution of pop promotion in the post-single, post-digital era. For nearly a year, all the songs on 21 were laid out like a buffet for listeners. About 700,000 of them gravitated toward “Set Fire” with no outside prodding (not even a cover from the Adele-happy cast of Glee). The label listened and promoted accordingly. Arguably, it’s the first focus-grouped No. 1 song.

Mark Buehrle brings attention to Miami's pitbull ban

I can’t be the first person to see this and think to himself: “But what about Pitbull? Is he banned, too?”

I’m way more amused by dogs barking the Imperial March than I should be. Also, Volkswagen did not pay me to post this. (Though they can, if they wish!)

Jessie J, and obvious effort in pop music

By now, you’ve probably heard the Jessie J song, “Domino”. Currently, it’s peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, which means a lot of people like it. Perhaps you’re one of them. I’m not going to talk much about Jessie J, because I don’t know a lot about her beyond this song and “Price Tag”. But if you’re interested in some observations about how she makes a claim on what kind of artist she is in the first ten seconds of the song, keep reading.
