David Guetta x Bust-A-Mute

Last Saturday, I spent the whole day laughing with my workmates at random YouTube videos so I was in quite a giggly mood. So when me and Miss Sugarwild were walking past a TV screen [eating the best AND cheapest ice cream in central London] we stopped to laugh like maniacs at the David Guetta 'Memories' video. With tears streaming and ice cream dripping down our hands we stood outside the shop laughing like a pair of immature school kids without a care for the the tourists and scene dudes nearby.

We'd seen the video before - so why was it so funny to us this time...? Was my green pistachio ice cream spiked with something else of a green nature? No...it was because there was no sound....

David Guetta, single-handedly, maintains the notion that white people cannot dance. If you watch the 'Memories' video ON MUTE it really emphasises how fresh off the boat Guetta looks and dances as he tries to sponge off Kid Cudi's 'cool'[although Kid Cudi isn't that much of a dancer either].

My favourite parts are Guetta's sly look at Kid Cudi to make sure he didn't notice his weak attempt at the 'butterfly' @ 2:10 and the shoulder shrug skank @ 2:45

Before you watch, remember to BUST-A-MUTE!!!

NO SOUND=MORE FUN 



If Guetta ever gets hurt doing one of his killer moves, I'm sure this dude would be the best candidate for a stunt double....

It's time to get 'funky-funky' [...not the house kind though]

This is just another one of those old skool classics that have been knocked about by dance/house DJs with the public giving props to the remixers and not the orignators but I just wanted to show some love to the REAL funk soul brothers for a sec....

'Eccentric' is not even the word...

If you have never seen 'Eccentric's' American Idol audition, I urge you to watch this as it really is one of the BEST(WORST) auditions I have seen on A.I. along with that black dude that said, "...all my friends say that I sound like Brian Mcknight...." [he sounded more like Brian-t Gumble].





"I have fire equalling three men..."

"....I'm an athlete, I WILL get into acting as well I WILL get into modelling....and I will get into being an author...as well as a singersongwriterrapperchoreographerproducer and...composer

"I might be blowing up as Michael Jackson...maybe bigger..."

"I got 53 songs...when people listen to it they get tears....in their eyes....because they are so brilliant-brilliantly written..."


If anyone can watch and listen to the lyrics of his song, 'Sweetest Princess', WITHOUT laughing, you are an impressive being....





PROS
The played out bandana with the little point above his eyebrows...
The pretend microphone
"...I wanna jump out and start to fly..." [Jump out of where????]
"...to comfort me when I shed tears" [soft ass fruity ass sherbert ass nucca]
"...please come around so my heart can hear your sweet sweet sound..." [so what do we use our ears for...?]
"...fly with me through clouds through worlds with bright shine..." [
"Cruising in my coupe, my mind is made up I gotta find a girl to make my breath stop who can make my worl' drop..."

Oh, Florence, you need to go back to the [Machine] board

I like the imagery in Florence and The Machine's new official video for 'Dog Days'. I just don't like it for THIS song. I didn't think the first video was all that special either but it's earthy/maniac theme was a lil more appropriate for what I still think is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a LONG time. You know what - when they used this song as the Slumdog Millionaire premiere advert on Film4 the scenes from the film went really well with the song. I can't find the advert at the moment but I'm sure you can imagine that it was better than this.....

*Sorry mum, but I think I'm about to go back to the risky roads....*
