What about a pair of 3D glasses?!

An odd mix of people singing an MJ song I suppose in roundabout effort to please everyone. Carrie Underwood for the...wait what? Carrie Underwood? Yes, Carrie Underwood for the country folks who'd all agree that Michael waws a jollay gerd fella. Usher for the old teens and young adults who grew through MJ's black to white phase. Smokey Robinson for the older gen who could only remember the black MJ. Celine Dion for the gays I'm guessing?...And J. Hudson for everyone else. Yup. All covered...

..except the 3D glasses. Maybe there's an iPhone App for this we all forgot to download. But all iSee are fuzzy lines. (Ok that joke goes to failblog)
SO many fuzzy lines that Rihanna had a headache, she went to the loo. What you see at 5:47 is actually a body double mannequin sitting in her place. Go ahead, pinch her!
You were probably going to, until you heard on 5:59th minute of the video, how Carrie Underwood sang, "What about Kanye West!"? (I'm not kidding, scroll to it and listen)

Carrie, I think he's all bound up in Taylor Swift's limo boot! Ironically inspired by Kanye's "flashing lights" video.

Okay, all jokes aside. "Earth Song" is one of my fave MJ songs. And I think Nobody should try winging singing it on a big stage like the Grammys. Blanket is the smartest out of the 3 kids to not make an appearance and Orianthi shoulda been there with a guitar solo.

RIP MJ!

March ado about Sigur Rós & The Knife..

My condolences to Sigur Rós fans who were looking forward to their new album in 2010. It was apparently just a rumor. Fact is that the members are making babies (not among themselves, of course) and that...they ran out of juice, the creative kind. HAH! Here, read this article, if you don't believe me.

Frontman, Jónsi Birgisson, will be out with a solo album in March though, titled "Go". Listen to the single 'Boy Lilikoi' at his website here. I like it. I forgive them.

Speaking of March releases...

Swedes electro pop duo The Knife is having a go at some kind of 'electro opera'.

Listen to the free streaming of 'Tomorrow, in a year' to hear what I mean. The studio version of the opera will be released 1st March.

It's like eating hotdog dipped in peanut butter, it's an acquired taste. I haven't asked my taste buds yet if they like it, I'll be sure to do so when they're ..actually ..y'know..paying attention.

As Karin and Olof once sang in 'Marble House':

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?


Happy February, everyone.

everything that shines..

Here's a toast (whether in white wine or red, in beer or non-alcoholic sparkling juices, in champagne glasses or paper cups) to everyone out there who are currently in the pursuit of happiness. Kid Cudi reminds us all that everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold.

In the music world, The Killers, in their pursuit of happiness, have broken the hearts of their Asian fans by canceling their Asian tour.

Some big names like Madonna, Jay-Z, Justin T, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Xtina, etc have come forward in stripped-down performances to gather donations, in their pursuit of happiness for the Haiti earthquake survivors.

Brad Pitt & Angeline Jolie are in the midst of separating their fortunes fairly, in their individual pursuits of happiness.

Tiger Woods had a dozen mistresses in his pursuit of happiness.

In Malaysia, people are vandalizing places of worship in their pursuit of showing unhappiness.

So what have YOU been doing in YOUR pursuit of happiness? Or is happiness a lucky charm you keep in your heart that no longer needs pursuing?

In whatever packages happiness comes to you, I hope that when you continue dreaming, you don't stop doing.

Welcome to 2010 music lovers. As long as there is music, there is love.
