Did I Mention I Like to Dance?

Remember Smash + Bang = Smang? Here’s another hilarious hit from the same guys, which is one of my favorite youtube finds of all time – “Did I Mention I Like to Dance” by Flynt Flossy! His dancing is not only hilarious, but he’s actually pretty good! Kinda reminds me of myself, without the Eddy Murphy look of course lol.

Feel good song of the day

Never heard of this guy before, but I listened to the song and actually found it kinda heart warming. Decided it was a feel good song, and wanted to share it. This is Brian Lee with “Love to Me”.

a Far East Movement recollection…

Wow… I never imagined an Asian group to hit America’s mainstream scene as much as the Far East Movement. I remember listening to their mixes like 7-8 years ago from an underground Asian-American hip hop site. I followed them for awhile on myspace (when that was huge, remember?) when they finally created a profile. So in 2006-2007 when I was doing a bit of club promoting in Shanghai, I recalled this group and thought I’d throw them an opportunity to perform internationally. So I coordinated a bit with their manager at the time, and the music director at Club Guandii (one of the few hip hop clubs in Shanghai) and I tried to book them a show. Guandii was all up for it, but other clubs I was trying to get them in at didn’t know who these cats were. I couldn’t fork up the costs for them to fly over just to perform at one club, so the deal didn’t go through unfortunately. I did regret not having the capability to bring them out, but luckily was still able to collaborate with them a bit by having one of their songs featured on a reality tv show I was working with at the time (shout out to House Films). That was fun… but it would have been more fun to meet these guys since I’ve known about them for so long. I’m just glad to see them where they are now, and I’m sure the clubs back in Shanghai now know who the Far East Movement is. Keep up the good work FM!

New song by FM with Natalie Kills + Ya Boy:

Smash + Bang = Smang (watch the video to understand)

According to some creative artists, when you combine the words smash and bang, you get smang. And when you get a unique word, you need to make that word functional and spread it like a virus. How? You make a ridiculous music video!

Sooooo, I was riding in a friend’s car and an interesting club-banger-ish beat (typical of the Lil Jon days) started playing. I mentioned that I had never heard of the song before and he told me that he had purchased the song off of itunes recently after seeing a video on facebook. He went on to say that he wasn’t sure if the video was serious, or just some comical stint, and that he was actually puzzled. Since I found the chorus a bit catchy, I had to check out the video myself.

Lol… you tell me if you think these guys are serious or not.

Antoine Dodson song a best seller in iTunes

This may seem like old news, but remember the news about Antoine Dodson and the rapist breaking in their home? Remember the auto-tuned remix of that video? Well, that remix song titled ‘Bed Intruder Song’ is now among the top downloads in iTunes, making it to the Best-Seller category!

According to USWeekly, Dodson moved his sister and her children into a new home in a newly built housing edition.

“We found a house!” Antoine told Us Weekly in an interview. “We are excited … It’s for my whole family. And these are new houses that have just been built.”

Dodson, who is paying for the new home from proceeds he earned after musicians the Gregory Brothers turned his “We Gon Find You” tirade into an Auto-Tuned song that hit the top 50 iTunes list, states that although the situation surrounding his new found fame was traumatic, he doesn’t regret doing the now infamous interview.

“I still can’t believe this,” Dodson continues in the interview. “Even though my life is moving forward, it’s at a standstill in my mind. I’m like, ‘Wow! All of this is happening just off a news interview! I was angry!” I was like, ‘I can’t believe this!’ I was really mad and everybody took the video and put it all out there. Now I’m glad that the world knows what’s going on so they won’t sweep this under the rug. This will bring pressure on the police department and investigators investigating the case.”

Even after all of the new found fame and spotlight on the incident, Dodson states that police still have no leads.

For those thinking that Dodson plans on dropping an album, think again.

Dodson states that he plans on returning to school and also plans to one day open his own hair salon or hotel.

“I signed up to finish my Associate’s Degree in business,” Dodson said. “That way I can take everything to the next level and be on a more professional level.”

Chatroulette with Ben Folds Five

I’ve never done this chatroulette before, but thought this video was absolutely clever. Here, Ben Folds Five is performing in front of a live crowd while unsuspecting chatters connect. Very amusing, especially with the guy on the john.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” music video

This video came out yesterday and is already an instant hit. However, this video is definitely not child friendly. Featuring a lesbian kiss (?), a vagina, and a lot of adult content.
