The Chemical Brothers – Hanna OST – Review

A few months ago I watched the trailer for Hanna, a movie that centers around the life of a special girl whose childhood toys were knives and guns, not dolls and toy ovens. Trained from birth to fight and kill, Hanna’s father unleashes her on the world and… well, you’ll have to watch and see for yourself.

The movie itself looked fantastic, but what really struck a chord with me was the incredible music. It wasn’t the booming classical epic orchestral music found in so many movie trailers, but instead a sort of

Psy: Gangnam Style – Music Nerd Turned Coolest Guy EVER

If you haven’t seen the Gangnam Style music video by Korean pop star Psy yet, then you really, really need to. It’s been out for less than a month, and has garnered over 24,000,000 views on YouTube, putting it in the top 3 videos worldwide currently. When a buddy showed it to me, I went through waves of conflicting feelings. I was repulsed, excited, amazed, and developed the sudden urge to bust my hardest moves, all in a matter of seconds. And then it hit me – this video is the pinnacle of the nerd’s revenge. Psy is a normal, pudgy, band geek who analyzed the world, popular American/Korean culture, and the music scene around him, got some video equipment, and went out and made it his bitch. Watch the video after the jump. DO IT.

Rush – Tom Sawyer, as Played by a Five Year Old Drummer

I’ve been a Rush fan for a long time now, and it’s rare that I’m impressed by any covers or fan-interpretations of their work. After watching this guy play the drums, though, I think I’ve finally found someone with the ability to do Rush justice, and he comes in the form of a 5-year-old child. Yes, you read that correctly.

Providing the video is real, the kid appears to hold the tune perfectly, and even squeals with delight at the end. Anyone who knows me will agree that I dislike children with a fiery burning passion, but this kid has my

Music Concerts – The Perfect “Break from Life”

I think it’s safe to assume that most of you like music. You probably listen to it on your commute to work, on the subway, and when you’re sitting at your desk pretending to get work done. Yes, you even dance to it when you’re out at clubs and concerts. The latter two involve actually spending time with other people, and that’s what I want to focus on.

I have an absolutely massive music collection thanks to the likes of Apple iTunes and other online music buying locations, and that’s great… I can listen to music any time I like from the comfort of my chair, or the torn up seats of the subway. But there’s something special about enjoying music with

Basshunter – Pop-Star, or Street-Fighter?

Singer… songwriter… “actor”. I had never heard of Jonas Erik Altberg (Basshunter) until recently, but his angelic voice and touching lyrics have left quite the impression …

Rebecca Black’s Follow Up to “Friday” – My Moment

Friday by Rebecca Black is hands down the “Viral Video of 2011” and not in a good way either. In only a few months, her original ‘Friday‘ music video has reached over 167 million views. It’s the most “disliked” video on YouTube,  and we’ve long since lost track of the number of parodies and covers people have done of that song. But Rebecca Black is one hell of a trooper and is back with her latest single, My Moment.

As you’re about to see for yourself, it certainly is… something.
