Ah, this video just reminds me of Sid and Nancy (screen shots below). If anyone hasn't seen the movie, you definitely should.
Also, anyone find it a bit odd/funny that the guy has bleached blonde hair like Chris Brown does? HAAAAA, awkward? Comment on their relationship? I think so.
Anyways this video is hot, Rihanna is hot, the dude in it is hot, and it is very visually pleasing with fireworks, sparklers, projections on the wall over Rihanna, etc... I'm a fan.
On to Sid and Nancy Screen Shots! Why? ... Why not?!
(btw these are screen shots I did myself, so don't steal please)
So my fabulous friend Michelle sent me this music video tonight. It's Tune-Yards' song "Bizness". Once again I found myself wishing I was as bad ass as a kid (the previous instance was with Willow Smith). Anyways, I think I found my tribe and/or cult if I were to have one (and if the people in this video actually were apart of a tribe/cult). I constantly wonder what I'm going to do with my life after college, and this is it. I'm going to wear face paint and make weird faces. I already love doing these two things so why didn't I realize this sooner. Oh and I also love dancing weird and staccato-like, OH AND FREEZING TIME...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I did.
... On a completely separate side-note (that might be overly redundant) ha! ... I had a machete named after me tonight. THANK YOU STEPHEN CODEKAS FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE.
As I write this I am listening to Judas by Lady Gaga for the first time. I have to say its catchy I really like the song, I like the "ahhh-AAAAHH-aaaah" part right before the chorus, listen to the song and you will know what I mean. It is reminiscent of Bad Romance, but I'm not sold on the chorus. I feel like it goes from an edgy song, to the familiar pop chorus. However, I still know that after many listens I will be in love with this song. Also I can't wait for the music video for this song there is going to be some great religious iconography mixed with some controversy. When I think about it "music video" might be the wrong term for the short-music-inspired films Lady Gaga creates.
The song has a creepy undertone, which I'm a fan of. If anyone knows me they can attest I LOVE CREEPY.
Okay so the song just ended, and I love the ending. The line "JUD-AS-GAGA" is used repeatedly in the song, I usually think its weird when musicians use their own names in their songs ie) Sean Paul (who can't get enough of his own name) but Lady Gaga does it tastefully somehow. Maybe its because its not a "real" name, or maybe its because she usually shortens it to "Gaga"... whatever I like it.
Listen to it, give me your opinion if you feel like it. Enjoy.
UPDATE: After 5 listens on itunes and reading through the lyrics I'M OBSESSED. I just bought the song on iTunes, and I never buy my music! (What?! I'm a poor college student)
I'm literally going to listen to this song on repeat all day as I flesh out my outline for my screenplay and drink coffee. Also, I like the chorus now... maybe I'm crazy?
My favorite lines: "Even after three times, he betrays me"
"I've learned our love is like a brick build a house or sink a dead body"
"In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas kiss me if offenced, or wear an ear condom next time"
OH THE CHORUS HAS GROWN ON ME: "I'm just a holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel"
James Franco getting a twitter/facebook was the worst/best thing that ever happened.
Paige, my lovely roommate, has to deal with me always saying "Oh man, you have to see this" a month ago this was usually referring to YouTube videos with cats in them, but ever since James Franco began posting photos and videos I am now usually referring to him. I HAVE REPLACED CATS WITH JAMES FRANCO. This is no bueno... cats should always come first. The worst part is sometimes the two collide, then SHIT GETS REAL. I'm beginning to think I should just change this blog to be only about me and James Franco, then it would be a little more focused than me just blogging about random shit (but mostly James Franco) ... oh well. World, you're just gonna have to deal.
Now onto the point of the entry. James Franco posts this video of him humming and then singing along to Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Although he is basically asleep, it's still adorable. Why? Because he is James Franco
So after I watched that, I OF COURSE thought of Heath Ledger's rendition of the song from 10 Things I Hate About You (my favorite rom-com in existence)... For your viewing pleasure here is the late and great Heath Ledger stealing every woman's heart... probably a couple guy's hearts as well.
After watching this video, I thought to myself (and out loud to my roommate). What if someone actually did this for me? ... Well I would have to say if you aren't Heath Ledger, or a Franco, (which you probably aren't since Heath is dead and no Franco is reading my blog. No one reads my blog let alone a Franco. Aaaand lets be honest for at least one second: no Franco would do this for me even if they were reading my blog. I may hope and dream, but it ain't gonna happen) don't do this. It will end up being creepy. I would be freaked out. Maybe thats just me and my commitment/relationship issues speaking. Don't get me wrong, I would be flattered, but seriously a whole band playing the song? I would feel obligated to date the person who did this for me, and lets be real this performance/display of affection could never be topped so just don't go there.
Okay, so I officially have "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" stuck in my head. Lets give Frankie Valli some credit for creating a song that I will probably be singing all week long, cause (secretly) I'm going to watch the James Franco video at least five more times in the next week, I may even have to watch 10 Things I Hate About You. I mean fuck it, its spring break I can do whatever I please and I happen to like watch attractive men sing (to me).
Here's the OG song:
Which I'm going to note that the video has 3,619 "Likes" and only 26 "Dislikes". You 26 weird-ass, dumb-ass, nasty-ass people who disliked this song can suck my cock, or whatever, basically you are dumb and I disapprove of your existence.
So basically ever since I watched the James Franco video I have been humming and singing this song all day. And as a joke (or for reals) I turned to Paige, my roommate (the lovely one), as I was dramatically belting the song and paused to say "I'm gonna sing this song at my wedding" the look she gave me was a mixture of pure horror and slight disgust, so I think all systems-a-go for the day I actually decide to settle down and get married. I'll most likely be drunk, or at least drinking, so why not? I hope some police chase after me and try to escort me from my own wedding. That would be YouTube GOLD. Gimme 10 years. YouTube, if you're still around you better be ready for this.
Last thing I have to say: Muse covered this song too?!
I just started singing the song again and this is the response I get "I'm going go to bed before I punch you" -Paige Smith
At a recent show (about a week ago) in Toronto, Lady Gaga sang "Born this Way" with 10 year old Maria Aragon, a youtube sensation who recently covered Gaga. This is absolutely adorable and shows just how big the Lady's heart is and how she genuinely loves her fans. She realizes she wouldn't be anything with out her fans and pays her respect to them. I love Lady Gaga and everything she does. She rages, she fights for great causes, and she is an absolute sweetheart. Long live Lady Gaga.
Here is Maria's original video which she only posted on February 16th and now has over 20 million views!
I'm a recent graduate of UCSB. I majored in Film and Media Studies. I like cats, burgers, eating in general, pop culture, film (obvs), consuming alcohol, taking photos, and sleeping. I spend most of my time mismanaging my time. Enjoy my thoughts, raves, and rants.
