  • Mini Chart-Chat: Flo Rida Spins “Right Round” to The Top!!

    floridaA week after Eminem, 50 Cent & Dr. Dre broke the record for most downloads of a single in it’s first week with “Crack a Bottle”, that record is once again smashed by…Flo Rida? Yep, the guy who everyone thought was banished to one-hit wonderdom after “Low” became a huge hit a year and a half ago has struck again. His new single “Right Round” becomes his fourth Top 40 hit, third Top 10 and his second #1. Amazing how you can get so far on so little talent, innit?

     Since I don’t believe there’s a video available for “Right Round” yet, and because you don’t need to hear the song anyway, I’ve decided to post the video of the song that “Right Round” interpolates it’s chorus from-Dead or Alive’s 1985 hit “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”. While the two songs may not be a hell of a lot different from one another from a qualitative standpoint, Dead or Alive at least has the uber-campy aspect going for it. Man, that Pete Burns was scary, eh?

  • MHW Liveblogs The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards: This Could Be Interesting…

    Tonight marks the 25th anniversary of the MTV Video Music Awards. If you’re like the majority of people, this event doesn’t excite you. The show has taken such a dive in quality over the past decade or so that I actually skipped last year’s ceremony-and I’m a music awards show junkie. I almost skipped tonight’s show as well, but since my plans for the evening fell through, I’m hanging out here with you, live, as the magic, the drama, and/or the disaster unfolds.

    *I have already noticed one good thing-this year’s show is only two hours long (I wrote two years originally…Freudian slip?). It’s the perfect amount of time for me to get annoyed without feeling like I want to kick a hole in the TV.

    *I’ve actually already noticed another thing: this Russell Brand or Bland or whatever his name is? Douchebag.

    *I’ve only caught about 15 minutes of the pre-show. The hosts are a bunch of no-name guys, the pretty blank space country singer Taylor Swift, some obnoxious Brit (this seems like a running gag tonight), Sway’s sellout ass and John Norris, who is older than all the other co-hosts combined.

    *Britney is opening tonight. You’ve gotta figure anything would be better than that performance of “Gimme More”, right?

    *Sorry. I want to marry Jonah Hill. There, I said it. If Jonah Hill has a gay twin brother, please call or email me.
