The New Yoko Ono

~~According to the NY Times, the rest of Fall Out Boy is pissed about their Grammy snub too. But unlike Pete, they're being less rational about it. They're blaming Ashlee Simpson. They say that the Grammy voters hate her and her lip syncing. Obviously, Pete's "50 year old white men' keep up with who's dating who in the music business because Ashlee is tainting Pete and the rest of the band's reputation. Come on guys, we said in another post.. It's not the world. Yeah, it IS a Grammy, but still. Look at all the great bands who never won Grammys. Google it, you'll find plenty.

(FYI: I have a feeling this just a rumor that FOB is pissed at Ashlee... So believe it if you want).

Update: Joe from FOB has stated on his blog that this is complete bullshit. They adore Ashlee ;)

~~Madonna will be immortalized in the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March. For those who don't know, this is an annual ceremony where a handful of artists are deemed worthy. This years batch also includes Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, The Dave Clark Five, and The Ventures. How exciting..


~~Ever been front row to a concert and assumed that the artist on stage doesn't know or care what you're doing? Think again As you can see on the video if you click the link, Tori Amos stops midshow to kick two girls out of the audience. Apparently, they were screwing around the whole show, taking a bunch of pictures of themselves, getting up to get drinks every few minutes, etc.


~~Panic! at the Disco's website has been updated yet again. This time with a secret message.. oooo. Scroll down to find the missing letters. 5 seconds of amusement. Also the new single has a name! "Nine in the Afternoon". A casting call is floating around online for the video in Los Angeles.

Oh yes. That's right. Panic! at the Disco guitarist, Ryan Ross, learned some new instruments. Are you as scared as I am? Bright side: the strings are still there! The TBA titled sophmore album is due out March 25th.

We need a calender on here. It also looks like they're updating their main webpage http://www.panicatthedisco.com/ :)


In other news:

~~~Also due in March, the new Ashlee Simpson album! Rejoice! (or not). She's already stealing her boyfriend's friends as well. Travis from Gym Class Heroes (good buddies of Fall Out Boy), is featured on one of the songs. This is the next song she'll be lip syncing.


~~~Mr. Ashlee Simpson is pissed. Fall Out Boy got snubbed for a Grammy nomination.. this is after they played for People Magazine's Grammy Nomination party. Poor Petey. Dude, seriously.. I know it's a major award, but look at who's nominated. Do you think any of those people have anywhere close to the insane and rabid fan base your band has? Come on... Screw Daughtry and his Grammy nominations. On a side note, he maybe joining the Simpsons at home for Christmas.. Awkward..


~~~I hope you saw the White Stripes in concert when you had the chance! According to the Y chromosome of the band, it's up to Meg White whether or not they ever tour again. (If you follow the band, you'll know that they cancelled their tour because of the drummer's health issues) Jack says he doesn't care either way. Both of us had been planning to go to a show in Fargo, ND in October, but it got cancelled :( PLEASE COME BACK OUT ON TOUR!!



And finally...



Is it just me, or does Britney REALLY want that cake...

This is from her B-day party on the 1st of December. Creepy..

Top 10 Misheard Lyrics Videos

We really need to do something besides YouTube videos.

Anyways, a growing trend on YouTube is people making their own videos with movie maker and paint, doing their "interpretations" of songs with lyrics that actually do sound a lot like what the singer is actually saying. MOST OF THESE ARE *NOT* MAKING FUN OF THE ARTIST. Ok, one is. but still.. and yes, they are in a particular order.

Enjoy.

10. The Numa Numa song


Only because it's the friggen Numa Numa song. And it's amazing how something in a foreign language sounds like random English words.


9. "Helena" - My Chemical Romance


haaaaaanukkah. There's 10938 versions of this one floating around youtube. This is my favorite. :) (This isn't one they're making fun of the band, we'll get to those)Caaaaamel. They slacked at the end. I got disappointed..


8. "Even Flow" - Pearl Jam


The maker even managed to give everyone a seizure during the guitar solo with this one. Ironically.. the psycho color sequence reminds me of Guitar Hero 3. Which this song is on.. enjoy that fact.


7. "How to Save A Life" - The Fray


This barely has subtitles, so you actually have to LISTEN to the lyrics ;) This is more of an interpretation.. But it's still funny.


6. "Umbrella" - Rihanna


Finally somebody else said what I've been saying, VOCAB LESSONS. This video likes sheep.


5. "One Last Breath" - Creed


COLOR SPAZ IS BACK. At least it's on beat.


4. "Smells like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana


I think it's cool cos they mostly used paint, instead of Google Images. (Who's Jamie?)


3. "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" - Fall Out Boy


Another that uses a lot of paint. It even has a background!!! Ew at 2:06.


2. "Welcome to the Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance



The volume is funky at this one. But it's just fantastic. Which is why it's #2. Note the Powerpuff Girl tattoo.. and where Prince William's hand is. (Cameo two of the South Park christmas poop in this post) AND YES I KNOW THAT'S TWO MCR SONGS. Deal with it.

1. "This Ain't A Scene..." - Fall Out Boy



Ok seriously, I can't help that MCR and Fall Out Boy fans make the best videos. This is definately the best. It even has a catchy hook. "I'm a little man, and i'm also evil, also into cats". You can get a shirt! I'm so buying that shit.


Right, well there it is. Have you seen one that's better? Post a comment with the link! (AND YES, I have seen the Wishmaster one. It's fine and and dandy, but I like these better)
