Oh yes, another Two Door Cinema Club song for all my fans out there.
I find myself loving this band more and more each and every day I spend listening to their music, yknow?
My friend calls me a hipster for listening to them, but what does she know, she’s a hipster herself.
Go ahead and do as I say, enjoy this song.
Okay, if you’ve been following along with my Earworm posts since the beginning, you’ll know that this was the song I first featured on my Earworms, click https://justwroteablog.com/2012/08/16/earworm-by-my-side-by-david-choi/ to get the down low.
The music video for this ballad was produced and directed by my favorite independent production company, WongFu Productions (see their work http://wongfuproductions.com/).
This isn’t one of those crappy “love” songs that are on radio circulations.
Enjoy the video.
A young band, a great band. You guys that have been following my posts in particular should know from my Earworms that I like to listen to many, many, many different things.
This band was introduced to me by the same YouTube singer that introduced me to the John Mayer song I posted about yesterday. She did a cover with Mitchell Grey, and I loved the guy’s voice so much.
The song is about letting go of past relationships, something I believe people have trouble with.
The music video to this song is really special to me. The urban scenes were shot in my old stomping grounds of Elmhurst; Queens NYC, New York. The red awning? Top Line Supermarket. The park? Broadway park. I’d know the look of those apartment bricks if my eyes were closed. *AFTERTHOUGHT: I FREAKING HATE THE BOYFRIEND’S HAIR. THE HELL IS THAT RAT SHIT?*
This is not really an earworm, but something funny and to break up the dullness of the day. I saw this a few day’s ago, and it’s been making the rounds across the interwebs. I even heard it this AM on the Scott & Todd Morning show on WPLJ. Everytime you hear the original song, you can’t help but think of this version.
It’s a first, ladies and gentlemen.
The first Justin Bieber song to ever make it to the Earworm category.
A moment of silence for the amount of respect The Big Cheese had for me, because it probably all died in the moment he read the title of this post.
I highly doubt that I’ll be a fan of his work from this moment on, but Justin Bieber does deserve some respect. Gotta admit, he can sing (this is subjective), regardless of how feminine he may sound. Now, his chart topping pop songs are ridiculously irritating, but who are we to talk? He’s rich, has talent (which, again, is subjective), and probably gets more girls in one day than any of us do in a year.
I don’t mind Bieber anymore actually, but I do not like those Beliebers. They’re horrendous. No offense if you are one. But I very much dislike you.
The only reason I’d caught wind of this song at all (again, I don’t follow the Biebz), is because of a few of my favorite YouTubers making covers of the song. I first heard the AJ Rafael and Cathy Nguyen version, then I listened to the JR Aquino rendition, and I didn’t think the lyrics were too tacky, so I decided to give it a listen.
To my surprise, I actually didn’t hate it. In fact, I liked it. It wasn’t stupid, and his voice wasn’t highly annoying for once, so I gave it a chance to settle in my brain.
Soon enough, it joined my Spotify playlist, much to my chagrin.
Anyway.
Here’s the song.
AJ Rafael & Cathy Nguyen
JR Aquino
Nothing but good things have been spewing from the depths of Spotify’s radio station based off of artist Foster the People (except for the occasional Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj garbage due to Foster the People’s mainstream popularity).
My listening to Young the Giant is a byproduct of my listening to Foster the People. And I don’t regret it.
The song that’s been festering in my mind for a bit now is My Body.
On their Remix EP, the song is remixed by one of my favorite bands, Two Door Cinema Club.
Ah, rock and roll. The good old image of unkempt men, playing their loud music in small rooms, thrashing venues and getting chicks.
This song is just fantastic. The catchy chorus that is easily sung can improve anyone’s mood.
It reminds me of The Strokes and maybe The Killers.
Have a listen. (I’d advise opening a new tab while listening to this, the video is NSFW due to its sexual nature and semi-nudity. Plus the band doesn’t look too appealing. But their musical skills are great. so listen.)
YouTube seems to have taken a major step in pushing subscriptions. When you subscribe to a YouTuber, their new videos get sent automatically to your subscription inbox. You primarily see the videos they upload.
You’ve always been able to do this. YouTube has always been about the user and the subscriber, sharing videos, ultimately in a way that you get to watch things that you want to watch without having to try.
Usually, YouTube does a great job with their subscriptions, albeit there are some discrepancies. Sometimes the videos don’t get pushed to your subscription inbox.
What has YouTube done that makes me want to spark this discussion? They’ve changed their entire layout. They’ve introduced something called the guide, where they are heavily pushing your subscriptions to avoid these discrepancies.
I personally like this guide concept. The new minimalist approach to YouTube is stellar. I love the way it looks (on different computers, it may look different. On my Google Chrome on my Windows 7, it looks beautiful. It happens to look horrendous on Google Chrome on my Linux Ubuntu 11.) and is definitely a good improvement.
I really do wish, however, that they implemented the use of themes. Maybe a dark theme, because there is so much white space, and that looks terrible on HD monitors.
What do you guys think? Let us know how you feel about the new YouTube layout in the comment section!
Probably the most polite “fuck you” video out there. Enjoy the voice on Jason Lancaster. It’s beautiful
I love this song. The hilarious innuendos are endless. I do advise you not to watch this at work, of course. NSFW, bros. Have some hilarity.
