Crazy On You
Classic rock used to be reserved for true aficionados, music enthusiasts, and adults (ie old people).
That’s different now.
Guitar. Hero.
Don’t get me wrong, I am ALL FOR people broadening their palates and learning about music they would have not enjoyed otherwise. Still, it floors me when I hear an 8 year old humming along to Heart.
Check out the amazing use of both acoustic and electric guitars in the hugely popular ‘Crazy On You’.
Make sure to peep the video too… they look and sound sooo awesome!
Friday Fun Day
There’s something interesting about artists and bands who pick names that are so generic.
It’s like they want to sort of fly under the radar with a name you won’t remember when you want to Google them at 3 in the morning… and then suddenly everyone’s talking about them and no one can remember what they’re called.
“Oh yeah! Men. Rrrright.”
This remix by Pegase uses a lot of subtle elements from different genres and it’s nicely put together.
It’s your Friday song… now shake your hair, volume up! School’s out!
Men – Off Our Backs (Pegase Remix)
Song of the Summer?
I don’t know what I’d do if Chicago and maybe… Paris didn’t exist, I’d probably be building model airplanes or flying a kite right now
btw BBU = Bin Laden Blowin Up’
Death Of Auto-Tune

Jay-Z performs his new song “D.O.A.” at Summer Jam 2009. First thing the beat reminded me of was “Takeover,” which Hova famously debuted at Summer Jam 2001, jumping-off his public rivalry with Nas.
