File this under: Music videos I may be too old to enjoy without feeling guilty
This 8-year-old guitarist is too cool. And as someone who tried and completely failed to pick up/get interested in actually practicing a guitar, I’m totally jealous.
- Robyn vs Whitney Houston - Dancing in Houston (Zooash "Glam-Pop" Mashup) - supported by EARMILK.com

Seriously, talk about improving two already great songs. “How Will I Know” from Whitney Houston and “Dancing on My Own” from Robyn.

I was supposed to go to sleep maybe an hour ago, but I’ve just been watching video after video of this guy.

Never Not Christmas: A Holiday E.P.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
It’s a little late for Christmas songs, I guess, but I just turned this one on again and listened to it like three times in a row. It’s so silly but I love it so so much.
Maybe because, despite how much haters like to groan that it’s a song about date rape, I really do like “Baby, it’s Cold Outside.”
By Jimmy Pardo & Scott Aukerman. BTW, if you’re interested in listening to the most hilarious podcast this side of the internet, get Never Not Funny. Bought Season 10 for the boyfriend as a holiday present.
I’m currently trying to concentrate on finishing a powerpoint presentation about “Gen X Leadership” which, as a topic, I find to be completely *jerk off motion*.
But my own misgivings about trying to throw corporate speak on any type of “generation gap” isn’t what’s distracting me. Rather, I’ll be searching up a picture of a Gen X representative, click into his or her media page, and then find out that… say… before a multi-platinum career as a girl power soft rock songstress, they were called the “Debbie Gibson of Canada,” opening for Vanilla Ice with their hit dance-pop single “Too Hot.”
I don’t know how I never found out about this before - I guess I stopped listening to Alanis Morissette before Wikipedia was invented.
Obligatory: Too hot in Canada? Is that like lukewarm everywhere else?
Adorable Duet of the Day: Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie and Kermit the Frog perform “Life’s a Happy Song” — the opening number from the upcoming Muppets movie.
McKenzie, who served as The Muppets’ music supervisor, wrote and/or produced all of the movie’s original songs.

- Can Change
This Is Happening
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Suddenly and inexplicably REALLY back into LCD Soundsystem’s last album. I’ve basically been listening to these songs on repeat all day every day. Weird how that happens - even songs I wasn’t that into before (like the one above - Can Change) I now can’t get enough of.
