Smooth, sultry and seductive are the words that come to mind listening to this little ditty that has a 60s lounge feel to it. Being as it is also relevant to my interests (money, I likes it), I am posting it here to share with you. Here’s how the artist describe themselves:

Can anything make the Wall Street bailout even slightly more palatable? Probably not. But Eva Moon mixes it up with a little funk and sex? Music and lyrics by Eva Moon. Ferko Saxmanov on sax, Tym Parsons bass and guitar.

Holy shit earsucker fans, incoming new music! If you’ve never heard of Kid Cudi then I am asking you to gently crawl out from your comfortable safety zone and have a go at this new track by new new king of Cleveland (even though he mostly lives in NYC now, if he’s ever in Cleveland he on the top of our list of local people I’d like to interview).

In Mojo So Dope, which has gloriously ended up leaking early from Cudi’s upcoming album (which is still untitled AFAIK Man On The Moon II is it?), the synthesized hip-hop feel that is Cudi’s trademark are ever present, but I’m really digging the almost minimalist, monotone approach that Cudi will take from time to time with his rapping.

If you were one of the many on Sunday seeking out video footage of Justin Bieber, either for his NBC Fireworks Spectacular or because you can’t enough of his song, Baby, then you probably saw something out of the ordinary.

Apparently, Youtube, Wikipedia and iTunes were all hacked over the fourth of July weekend, so that their tech departments would have issues, considering that they might’ve been understaffed.

Youtube searchers for Justin Bieber were redirected to either porn sites or websites with fake messages stating that Justin had died earlier that day in a car accident.

Geek.com reports:

The incident almost snowballed into a privacy scandal as angry teenagers and their parents turned to YouTube’s support forum, demanding that the search giant explain what was going on. The company fixed the problem after a few hours and said the vulnerability was related to a flaw in YouTube’s scripting. Turns out that YouTube joined the iTunes Store and Wikipedia on the list of the premium web properties that reported hiccups over the weekend. Wikipedia was undergoing a scheduled maintenance, but Apple’s store and Google’s video sharing sites were the victims of the hackers who reckoned they should time their attacks during the Independence Day weekend, when most IT departments were understaffed.

Incidentally, North Korea has won the popular vote with fans as to where Justin should take his My World tour. Who knew??? Lulz.

Yes, that Rush, Tom Sawyer Rush you knuckleheads. Check out these totally stolen (or “stolen” *cough* intentionally leaked *cough*) and posted on YouTube and found by EarSucker songs before they get yanked offline. The music is catchy, relatively straightforward by this trio’s standards, which means Geddy Lee is still, most likely, doing seventeen different things at once on bass, keyboards and foot pedals.

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…)

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…)

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…)

I know there is a lot of ironic self-deprecating music artists out there who sound dumb as a kind of in-joke with the audience, and then there are genuinely stupid people who just make it big based on being so painfully dumb. What really starts to trip me up is when there’s foreign aspects; add some exotic slang and fashion into the mish mash and I might actually think someone is as stupid as they sound. So when I watched Die Antwoord’s weird ass fashion and talking, I gotta say I thought it was some weird internet joke video.

Until the hook comes in, then you realize how brilliant the gag is. I still don’t know what Die Antwoord or Zef Side is, but I’m curious about what they’ll do next. Watch the vid after the jump (continue reading…)

Los Colorados (yeah, I know… why the hell does a East Europe band have a latin name?) did a cover of Katy Perry’s hit song Hot and Cold. Visually, it’s about as exciting as watching a local polka festival at the local VFW, but when you start listening… it’s made of rainbows and unicorns. (continue reading…)

Why is it that even Asian guys dance better than most white guys? While you ponder that, check out this great video of some guy named Mike (no last name, mystery YouTube investigators, help us out UPDATE: Mike Song), and imagine a full set like that during the SuperBowl. I could see that happening.

We love your moves Mike Nolastname Song, please make more!
