Judge’s commentary:

Len said that he liked it enough not to be cruel, but not enough to be kind. There was no footwork in there, but as a number he liked it. It didn’t quite work. Bruno said he tried and attempted everything. It was executed as well as it could be. As a story, it was very nice. Carrie Ann said it was refreshing and the storytelling was excellent. Be aware of his hands and the competition is tight.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 8
Len: 8
Bruno: 8

On tonight’s show, TV correspondent Maria Menounos is doing the Paso Doble with her professional dance partner Derek Hough. For her dance, Maria is a vampire. We think that’s an awesome added touch. And Derek is just throwing her all over the dance floor. This is perfect.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Judge’s commentary:

Carrie Ann said that didn’t “suck” and that was amazing. She was on fire and Katherine should watch her back. Len said she was sharp as a razor and it had tension. He loved it and it was fantastic. Bruno said she was the queen of the night and to “turn” him right now. The way they played together and it was spellbinding.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 10
Len: 10
Bruno: 10

On tonight’s show, Green Bay Packers player Donald Driver is doing the Viennese Waltz with his professional dance partner Peta Murgatroyd. She said that she choreographed a professional grade routine and it sure looks like it. What a fine dance for the both of them. Can they get all 10′s from the judges?

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Judge’s commentary:

Bruno said he’s got a sweeping drive and passion. He loved it. Carrie Ann said she loves his intensity when he dances. He has a regal quality when he dances. Len said once he got going, he thought it was terrific. His footwork was spot on and overall he did a great job.

Carrie Ann: 9

On tonight’s show, telanovela star William Levy is doing the Viennese Waltz with his professional dance partner Cheryl Burke. They are dancing as Jackie Evancho sings. Cheryl tells him that Len will be looking for technique and content in the dance. His ankle is hurting.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Judge’s commentary:

Carrie Ann said that was what she was looking for. True content and true dancing. He found the story in the music and brought the romance to life. Len said he wasn’t transported to Vienna, but it was close — he was in Austria. Tonight, he was up. Bruno said he has captured the beauty and ethereal quality of the dance. He put his heart and soul into it. He felt it, he lived it and it was touching and beautiful.

Carrie Ann: 9
Len: 9
Bruno: 9

On tonight’s show, Little House On The Prairie actress Melissa Gilbert is doing the Argentine Tango with her professional dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. He’s dancing injured tonight, so we will see if he’s able to continue on in the competition or if his injury will affect his dancing. In the pre-package, Maks said that his brother Val could step in for him if needed. As it turns out, Maks was fine and put on a great performance.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Judge’s commentary:

Bruno said she tried very, very hard, but at times it looked like she was riding the Cyclone at Coney Island. It wasn’t clean. Carrie Ann said it was like Cirque Du Soleil that went terribly wrong. Len said dance is a marriage between movement and the music and he thought she portrayed that. It is what it is, but it lacked full-on dance quality.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 7
Len: 7
Bruno: 7

On tonight’s show, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins is doing the Rumba with her professional dance partner Mark Ballas.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Judge’s commentary:

Len said it’s a classic Rumba. They didn’t go down the raunchy route. She stayed on time and it had style and elegance. Bruno said she’s the unobtainable object of desire. He likes it a bit raunchier to get his juices going. It was superb. Carrie Ann said she is unmatched in this competition. Tonight, her placement was perfect and so was her passion. It didn’t feel genuine and heated. It needed more chemistry.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 9
Len: 9
Bruno: 9

Attention Beliebers!

Teen singer Justin Bieber has just announced this video for his new single Boyfriend will be released next week. Justin took to his official Twitter and said, “#BOYFRIENDvideo NEXT WEEK!”

Are you dying in anticipation for the video’s release?

In the upcoming alternate universe episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith asks herself, “What if one little thing I said or did could have made it all fall apart? What if I had chosen another life for myself or another person?”

True story: I once saw Betty White when I worked at ***** hotel in Santa Monica back in 1995 or 1996. I was delivering a fax or some delivery to her room and she seemed really cool and it was awesome to meet a real life celebrity. Well, I was about to go, and out of nowhere she throws a bunch of quarters at me (for the tip). They bounced off me and rolled all over the hallway. I looked at her stunned, and she just smiles at me, little old Betty White, like nothing at all is weird about throwing quarters at the delivery boy. I ask her if everything is okay and she slams the door in my face. I picked up the quarters, but I felt really dirty for the rest of the day.

I’m just glad that she finally snapped on TV so everyone can see just how crazy she really is. (continue reading…)

So this dude called FAROFF made a really catchy mashup of some music your parents probably listened to, but then made it bopper friendly and fun to dance to by adding LCD Soundsystem so that teh ittelerate kids of touyube will be pleased. I personally really liked it, so I can assume our own illiterate readership will appreciate me posting this. On top of all that, the video syncs up nicely and will not make you look like a homo if you show it to your internet friends. (continue reading…)

I just wanted to share this wonderful (and then abruptly disturbing) Lonely Island/SNL Short: Boombox with the boiled goose afficionados of the internet. (continue reading…)

If you can watch this parody of a boy band video to 1:50, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most insane mind-fuck videos that harkens back to something Aphex Twin might have put out. Cancer Jesus goes Shoop da Whoop on a boy band! Video and extra links to other Hot Chip videos after the jump. (continue reading…)

I just love this video by Foxy Shazam!, and think they sound a lot like the ballads of Queen mashed with the more mellow Aerosmith guitar journeys with maybe a little of that Anthony Keidis funk for good measure. Take a listen for yourself after the jump. (continue reading…)

I honestly thought I posted this here before, but I guess this will be the first time, my bad. I saw Kid Cudi’s “party video” version for his new song Pursuit of Happiness about a week ago and it struck me as a very cerebral subject that breaks away from the hip-hop pack in a very refreshing way. And now I learned that he made an alternate video version of the same song and to be honest, this one is so much better. I’ve embedded both here with my thoughts, enjoy! (continue reading…)

Dear anyone with at least a mild appreciation for paintings: PREPARE TO ARTGASM. This music video is a happy jaunt through some classic and modern paintings that are definitely world reknown and easily memorable. The music and the enthusiams certainly put a smile on my face. (continue reading…)

In case you didn’t know who Rube Goldberg is, he created all these cartoon contraptions that were overly complicated. Now it seems everyone and their dog is making these machines even more delightfully than anything Rube himself had ever imagined. Check out what I mean by watching the video from This Too Shall Pass: (continue reading…)

Action-packed, running from Johnny fat-law and his donut-addiction (who promptly gets run off the road, BOOSH!) and then … what’s this … Bruce fucking Willis makes a cameo as the villain. The video blows me away with it’s sophistication and their new album is great through and through. NPR has the entire album available to stream for free, which is really cool. (continue reading…)

Let me repeat that title: I really, really hope Arctic Monkeys doesn’t sue anybody over this. I say this twice because EarSucker has been the target of the Arctic Monkey lawyers in the past for linking to their music (some Web Sheriff/Sherrif/Sharif nonsense that isn’t worth exploring here), and I know for a fact that mashups are in that very gray zone of copyright law that gets IP lawyers horny.

The fucked up thing is that this mashup is really good and I just wasted a good twenty seconds of your time NOT talking about the music of “The Arctic Monkeys Brush the Dirt Off of Clint Eastwood’s Shoulders” or the other folks on this mashup song thingy. Which just makes me hate lawyers even more and endorse marching them into the ovens (okay that one is probably too far). Anyways, watch this awesome mashup some crazy wacky awesome YouTube guy made without consent from Jay Z, Arctic Monkeys, and Gorrilaz [sic]. If you would like to download the song, the creator says you are allowed (see the box message on the YouTube page). We promote this! Which means this video will definitely get yanked and more lawyers involved. Look at us now bitches, we are so edgy it cuts through diamonds. (continue reading…)

I couldn’t believe it when I saw Kirsten Dunst sing “I’m Turning Japanese” in this video dressed in some kind of crazy hawt anime cosplay outfit, and with blue hair. One thing is for sure: she is extremely fit and I don’t blame anyone who goes full retard (unf unf unf) in the comments after watching this starlet sex-kitten’s out-of-character video about Turning Japanese. (continue reading…)

From the Youtube description:

An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They’ve been married for 62 years and he’ll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, it’s all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do

The whole thing really put a smile on my face and I hope it cheers you up as well! Watch the video (continue reading…)

Well I have to say wow, these guys are really coming into their own with the Autotune the news franchise. I just hope that people actually listen to the political message that’s being told as well, since ultimately we can’t all just be singing and dancing buffoons as our government turns to crap. Watch the video and leave your comment after the jump. (continue reading…)

Popsci has a really cool article about Jazari, a drum machine robot thing that Patrick Flanagan built so he could play some drums and other percussion instruments with his Wii remotes:

A musician has harnessed the power of two Nintendo Wiimotes to become a cyborg percussionist with the robo-band Jazari. His playing of one drum machine can evoke an automated response from another, so that he can go around the drum circle in a beautiful display of human-robot improvisation.

The man behind the machine, Patrick Flanagan, is a composer who cites music theory, music cognition, and machine learning as the three “chin-stroking disciplines” that influence his work. He created Jazari with a nod to Al-Jazari, a polymath of the Arab world in the 13th century who supposedly created the world’s first robot band.

I think he built something really cool, but dances like a white guy. Watch a video of the bot in action after the jump. (continue reading…)
