Smooth Criminal goes classical

Alexis — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:39:40 +0000

My friend Allen Klosowski knows how much I love Michael Jackson, so he tweeted me a link to this video this morning and now I feel the need to share it through every possible social media channel. These two dudes, Stjepan Hauser and Luka Sulic, play Smooth Criminal in a epic cello battle. Definitely check this out!

Two trashy delights on one Netflix page

I was searching Netflix earlier today for Trapped in the Closet (that’s a whole ‘nother story) when I noticed that The Expendables was listed on the same page as R.Kelly’s delightfully tacky “Hip-Hopera”. Either Netflix knows that I love fun trashy crap like this or it’s some wonderful coincidence.

I just saw this amazing White Stripes cover from Ben L’Oncle Soul. It’s definitely worth checking out. Sadly, embedding is disabled, but you can watch it on YouTube by clicking the picture or going here.

Thanks @datingdad for posting this on Twitter.

I am in love with the SING video

The latest My Chemical Romance video is up on Youtube now and it’s stunning. If this video was a dude, I’d marry it. Visually, I love the blue tone and the way the light overwhelms the frame at times. On the performance side, the guys do some acting and it’s more like a short film, telling a real story, than a music video. I have loved everything with this new record and I can’t wait until it comes out on the 22nd.

Check out the video after the jump. (I’d recommend watching it in full screen.)

Michael Jackson – “Dangerous” trial audio

Alexis — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:54:01 +0000

A long time ago, Michael Jackson got sued by some chick who claimed that he stole the song “Dangerous” from her. Of course, it was bollocks, but this is audio from the trial. If you needed any evidence as to how talented MJ was, just listen to him sing a capella on the stand!

Additional clips (5 of them) are under the cut…

Na Na Na video from My Chemical Romance out now

My Chemical Romance – New Music – More Music Videos

The first single is out now!

In case you couldn’t already tell, I’m eagerly awaiting the new My Chemical Romance album, Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The first single was just released–like, seriously a few minutes ago–on iTunes and there’s a new lyric video up on the band’s YouTube page. Check it out here.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s the title of the new My Chemical Romance album. This little promotional video looks amazing and I can’t wait for the album to come out!

Remembering Michael Jackson

Alexis — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:29:40 +0000

Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody’s missing a friend, hold on
Somebody’s lacking a hero
And they have not a clue
When it’s all gonna end

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth, hold on
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind man’s eyes when he cries?

[Chorus:]
You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

People laugh when they’re feelin sad
Someone is taking a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
when your children cried last night?

Faces fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is reach for the truth

[Chorus]

And when that flag blows
There’ll be no more wars
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers

[Chorus x3]

Change the world
