Il y a quelques jours en zappant parmi les quelques chaines de ma freebox, je suis tombé sur un real TV bien marrant sur NRJ12. Son nom : "Age of love", le concept :une sorte de bachelor pour trouver une femme a Marc Philippoussis (oui oui le tennisman qui servait a 230km/h), et il a le choix entre 6 MILF de 38 à 48ans et 6 bombes d'une 20aine d'années!! L'apogée de l'émission fut quand même quand j'ai entendu le générique et que je me suis dis "ça y est! je tiens mon bisou de la semaine!". Et c'est [...]

Here's the OS/OHW Wednesday video for this week: LL Cool J ~ " Around the Way Girl " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =KGippJg7bGI Lyrical Excerpt: I want a girl with extensions in her hair Bamboo earrings At least two pair A fendi bag and a bad attitude Thats all I need to get me in a good mood She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang I love it when a woman is [...]
As far as genres go, I'd hypothesize that funk is among the leading styles of music that is near impossible to dislike. Between the fat fat bass-lines, the groove heavy drum-beats & the sheer libido-drenched characteristic energy of the music, funk is cornerstone in Western music history. But, while it is well-documented that regions like New Orleans , Miami or, hell, even Texas had thriving funk scenes, it is easy to forget that the 70's took place outside of America too. Case in point: I say Poland, you [...]
A neat visual gimmick? A statement about the artificiality and superficiality of modern pop music? The basis for this week's lazy music video post? a-ha - Take on Me - The cartoon bits are what everyone remembers, but few people realize that the live action sequences were filmed using a then-experimental process known as Mentos-Vision. Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood - Other bands may dabble with the whole cartoon thing, but the Gorillaz took it all the way. I [...]
Dark Days - Part Two Unfortuately I have no excuses. Well, saying that there might be a tiny excuse as my first girlfriend was into Asia . For a spotty faced teenager, even dumbing down to this extent could be entertained for the promise of some late night fumblings. And dumbing down is surely the end result of listening to this kind of twaddle. Fortunately, the album released in 1982 left my ownership many, many years ago but the emotional scarring is still there. Just to remind [...]
One of the earliest music videos I remember seeing is this one: In a mall where we used to go, there was this advertising pillar with a TV in it, and it showed some videos in an endless loop. Now while my mom went shopping, I usually waited near that pillar and watched those vids. Funny enough, ABC 's The Look Of Love is the only one I can remember. It [...]
Midterms are the devil's work - especially when the professor schedules a comprehensive essay exam the same day a huge group presentation project is due. I feel as if I'm far to old to deal with lazy 19-year-old girls who can't get their work done for a team project because they're too busy recovering from a night of 'clubbing.' Oh well, New Wave music will set me free. ABC The Night You Murdered Love (Sheer Chic Mix) The Night You Murdered Love (The Whole Story) [...]
One thing I loved about the 80ies was the creativity of some bands in releasing various remixes of their songs. Take the Pet Shop Boys for example: they often released two or more maxi-singles of one song, but none of the versions were the same. I often found myself liking a remix much more than the original. One could feel that it was not only a quick mashup to sell just another single, but rather an attempt to show the artist's talent in experimenting with new sounds. I [...]
So if you're ABC, and you have a smart new comedy that walks the line between Arrested Development 's cleverness and My Name is Earl 's populist approach, what do you do with it to make sure it grows an audience? If you said put it up against American Idol and let it sink or swim , I'm sure the network has bathroom key with your name on it. While everyone else was watching wannabes butcher song after song in American Idol [...]
I'm not really in a typing mood tonight, so I'm going to keep things brief. But I got good tunes so I don't think you all will mind that much. ABC Poison Arrow (Trevor Horn Remix) Theme From Man-Trap Theme From Man-Trap (Lounge Sequence) Trevor Horn probably produced half the songs on this blog. This remix of 'Poison Arrow' doesn't sound that different to me, but the 'Man-Trap' songs are radically different versions of the same song, redone in a slow lounge [...]
After last year's season finale for Lost , a lot of fans were crying like little babies that they didn't get enough. Oh, sure, in a stunning development, the Others showed up, Walt got kidnapped and the boat got blown up, but we didn't get to see inside the hatch. Wah , wah , wah . I though it was fine and it led to the great opening of this season when we met Desmond . Who quickly disappeared for the rest of the season, [...]
The producers of the show Lost are doing this thing called The Lost Experience , to keep viewers interested and entertained over the summer. What does that mean? For example, during last night's awesome episode, they ran another Hanso Foundation commercial. It points you to this website . If you run your mouse around the page, you'll find a spot where a new image appears. I have posted that image here; click on it for a larger view. Click on that spot. [...]
The Freelove family doesn’t watch 15 different TV shows every week. By the time my son hits the sack, the 8:00 shows are over, my wife is crashed on the couch, and I’m deciding how to enrich all of your lives with more of my buttery prose. So it comes as no surprise that we missed out on the first season of Lost last year, despite the recommendations from my parents and BM Rant superfan Jamie. It wasn’t until this year that Mrs. Freelove and I became interested. We are not going to even deal [...]
