Not that superhero dude, but someone who’s into the Ultra line of music. My latest buy is the just released Ultra Weekend 5 (Jason Nevins Presents). On the pricey side at $15, but you do get 30 tracks.
Does Ultra Weekend satisfy my dance music prerequisites? Yep, sure does.
Britney Spears remix – Circus
Sped up ballad – [...]
Don’t you love songs that you really have to listen to in order to understand the subtlety of the lyrics? Those that make you think for a moment about the hidden subtext of the song. Such as it is for today’s Amazon MP3 special, Jeremih.
For $3, you can own this entire album that releases tomorrow [...]
The musical impact and influence of Michael Jackson has been around for years, so I won’t add any more to that commentary. On a tangent, but a recent memory of the Gloved One is this Dancing with the Stars performance.
Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke performed a paso doble to MJ’s Thriller, and at that point, [...]
Wow, the storied history of the von Trapp family continues to unfold. First I learn that the Sound of Music family really does exist. Then “S” mentions going to college with Sam von Trapp on the East Coast though never meeting. “S” also mentions the Trapp family inn which I am lead to via Twitter.
Lo [...]
I didn’t know that the Sound of Music is based on the real life story of the von Trapp family. Yes, there really is a Maria von Trapp (who doesn’t look like Julie Andrews).
Read the history of the von Trapp family and their travels from Austria to America.

Finally got around to watching the pilot episode of Glee, and it was entertaining! Kinda quirky with lots of high school stereotypes, but the music was great. Major props for covering Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.
You can get the Glee cast version of Don’t Stop Believin’ on .
And speaking of Journey, I had to listen to [...]

Congratulations to Natalie Ai Kamauu for winning best female artist at the 2009 Na Hoku Hanohano awards.
She must have gotten a boost from all the texting/tweeting fans at her table.
You can sample Natalie’s music on her MySpace music page.

Let’s get this out of the way, but Lady GaGa is strange. Yet, she cranks out hit after hit. Could Paparazzi be her next chart topping single?
The Paparazzi video features Alexander Skarsgård from True Blood which, oh by the way, debuts its new season on June 14.

Amazon, my music mistress, has seduced me once again. For today only, the newly released Just Dance is available for $2.99. For less than the price of a Starbucks mocha, you can get 17 caffeinated dance tracks including an Amazon exclusive of Move for Me by Kaskade Vs Deadmau5.
Be seduced now!

Even though Adam Lambert was denied the title of American Idol, I think he’d make a perfect fit on one of the soundtracks of the Twilight saga! The singer is definitely Team Edward and can even be a vamp stand in if needed.
Adam’s rendition of Mad World is his Twilight audition.
Mad World has had an [...]
Susan Boyle is singing once again on Britain’s Got Talent. This time she sings “Memory.” A little off at first then she lets it rip.

Check out Eminem color coordinated with Air Jordan 4s on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Hot!
His latest release, Relapse, ain’t too shabby either. Just a warning but pretty disturbing at times though.

It surely takes a man secure in his own masculinity to discuss the topics of manscaping and mankinis. No, not me! Danny Wood of NKOTB, you are that man.
I guess if you can still draw in thousands of females, no one can doubt your manscaping ways.
BTW, thanks to John Mayer for modeling the Borat-inspired mankini.

Recently, I’ve been buying a fair share of digital music from Amazon’s MP3 Music Store. Prices are good with some unbeatable, limited time deals. But besides the MP3 versus AAC formats, there are some other differences between the two music stores.
Check out this comparison of Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown. Amazon had the digital download [...]
Whoa, there’s a massive disturbance of female hormones in the Bahamas! But of course! The New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) cruise has set sail with 2100 women (still) swooning for Jonathan, Danny, Jordan, Donnie, and Joey.
Yes, after 20 years, women are willing to pay $1000 for a ticket on the three-day cruise to get [...]
I don’t follow American Idol but heard that Kris did a cover of Heartless by Kanye West. Seemingly, The Fray also did a cover of the song which isn’t too bad. See for yourself.
Still like Kanye’s original version? You do know that you can pick up Kanye’s 808 & Heartbreak for only $5 for a [...]
