Douche Your Motherdouching MySpace!

This may be my new favorite song...



...or the worst thing I've ever heard. I can't decide.

A Woman a Douche Walked By

I've been waiting for someone to leak this for days now...



I'm not a fairweather fan or anything, I just didn't want to drop the money on the single when I'm already going to buy the album when it comes out. That's fair, right?

I dig the song, but it sounds to me more like her collaboration with Josh Homme on Desert Sessions 9 & 10 than her last album with John Parish. Curiouser and curiouser... Maybe this is a sign I should give up my hopes for "City of No Sun pt. 2." I'll bet my Freshman-year roommate doesn't miss that song. Which is cool; I don't miss him.

Regardless, A Woman A Man Walked By comes out March 31. In related news, don't fucking bother me on March 31.

Douche My Conglomerate

I heard this on the radio yesterday and had to wipe the drool off my steering wheel...

Conglemerate - Busta Rhymes


I've fucked with Busta since he was getting chased by elephants and doing neon tribal dance, so I guess I always will. I do wish he'd start screaming again, though...

Shaking Like a Douchebag to the Sun

Two posts in one day? It's a beautiful day in the doucheyhood.

Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

There are few sounds I love more than Karen O's voice, so a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs single is a "hold everything! where are my headphones?" situation for me. Enjoy!

Bat for Douches

Don't let the snarky title deceive you, I am obsessed with this song.

Glass - Bat For Lashes

Yes We Douche!

It was announced today that the female version of a hustla' of a of a hustla' will be singing for the Obama's first inaugural dance. The question now is what song will she perform.

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the great American songbook knows there's only one clear choice...



The mental image you now have of Barack and Michelle patting their weaves and snapping for the kids... you're welcome.

Diva Is the Female Version of a Douchebag

I can't let this go by without comment...

Diva (Beyoncé Cover) - Ciara

I had such high hopes for Ciara after "Promise" but those high notes... darling, just sit down.

And I see we're just pretending "Go, Girl" didn't happen. I understand.

Seasons Douchings!

I'm about an hour from leaving for the airport. Christmas will be spent with the family and the GA friends. But as my parents are Betty and Barney Rubble, I will be without internets until Sunday. So in my absence, I've harnessed the power of YouTube to pass on some of my favorite Winter-time tunes.

Enjoy your holiday, and try not to be that drunk douchebag under the mistletoe at the party. You know who you are...

TMI

Forgive me if this is saying too much...



...but this song gets me wet. Carry on.



(recommendation: listen to it with headphones)

Náttúra!

There's a new Björk single out. And if it surprises you that this song is dominating my life, why are you even reading this?

It's a real shame "Náttúra" wasn't on Volta; the drums on this track are DEVASTATING. And it blows my mind that Björk's voice is still so powerful after all these years. Good lord, woman.

Best of all, this one's for charity, kids. All the proceeds from the single go to the Náttúra campaign to preserve Iceland's natural landscape. And if you know anything about Iceland's economic situation right now, you know they need all the help they can get.

Click here to hear a little sample of "Náttúra." And if you like what you hear, download it for $0.99 on iTunes; you know the drill.


*Update*



And as an aside, this woman is in her 40s... Icelandic don't crack.

And the Grammy Goes to...

You know he slaughtered the competition with that eyebrow jig at the end. Get into this.

If I Were a Douche

The videos for Beyoncé's two new singles -- "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" -- dropped today. Which just leaves me with one question...





...why is Baltimore radio still playing "Upgrade U" like that shit just came out? 92Q, you are on notice.



(in other news, good GOD she's pretty)

Whenever I Blog Real Good...

Creole!



Can I just go ahead and pre-order the album? This song is so absurd I can hardly believe it even exists. "Mix it all together, it's a delicacy" ...I almost fell out of my damn chair.

Of course, if it doesn't end up making the final tracklist, all bets are off.

"Dull Flame of Desire" --Bjork and Antony Hegarty

You didn't think I missed this, did you?



Bjork and Antony performed in front of a green screen and then sent the raw footage to 3 amateur filmmakers. Each director's take on the footage was edited into one final piece.

In other news, it is INSANE that Bjork still looks that good in her 40s. What do they have in the water in Iceland?

Tic Toc (Rye Rye ft. M.I.A.)

This track dropped yesterday and has completely monopolized the last two hours of my life. Sorry I don't have a stream to put up here, but definitely go to the Mad Decent blog and check it out from the source.

Fashion Rocks; Cancer Sucks

Fashion Rocks was televised on CBS last night. If you don't know, it's basically a big concert/fashion show mashup that takes place every year and pays tribute to legendary musicians and designers.

I caught most of the show, and I will say it was pretty entertaining. It certainly kicked the crap out of the VMAs, but I've seen finger puppetry that kicked the crap out of this year's VMAs so...

The big surprise for me, though, was seeing all 3,000 women who took part in the Stand Up to Cancer charity single come onstage to perform the song "live." (Those quotation marks are for Mariah who, God love her, seemed to have no idea where she was the whole night... I blame Nick Cannon.)

Now, your guess is as good as mine why Beyoncé put that wig back on after the Etta James tribute was long over. But what I know for certain is once Miley Cyrus and Rihanna started trading bars, my soul went on home to glory.

Just keep telling yourself, "It's for a good cause. It's for a good cause."

Video Douchebag Awards

I don't even have the stamina to discuss the tragedy that was last night's VMAs. (Why was Pink orange? Why did that dude from Tokio Hotel look so much like Bjork circa the Vespertine tour? How did promise rings become such a hot topic? Why did they bleep the word venereal in "A Milli"? Why was Christina Aguilera/Demi Moore/Kobe Bryant/Kid Rock/Slipknot even there?)

The highlight of the night was far-and-away Kanye's closing number. And even that seemed like a financial-aid version of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. I'm too through.

For All That "Broke Refugee" Talk...

...M.I.A. be getting PAID.






And while we're on the subject: I don't care how funny Pineapple Express was, those of us who bought Kala a year ago are dead sick of you and your people talking about "Paper Planes" like that shit just came out. You've been notified.

You Took It Too Far

It's been a minute since we had a big, dramatic charity single, hasn't it?

What would it sound like if 15 of the hottest female singers joined voices? The answer will be revealed Sept. 2. That's when "Just Stand Up" hits airwaves and iTunes. The song features Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow and Miley Cyrus, among others.

I know it's for a good cause and all, but I dropped steadily from excited to suicidal as that list of names went on. Jesus be a pitch pipe.

Obvious Douchebag Anthem

Douchebags, date rapists, and skeeves: allow me to introduce you to your Summer 2008 anthem.




What is we gon' do? Between this and "Dat Baby," I can't even drive with my radio on anymore.
