This top Youtube comment sums it up nicely: "everytime i listen to this song, i cut my penis into tiny pieces and throw them in the air like confetti. then i travel to another dimension and eat a lobster roll with god. then i'm having sex with heidi klum while covered in hot fudge. pretty good tune."

Your Friday off to a slow, sad and depressing start? No? Well let me help you with that.

Genre: Hip-hop, Rap Similar: Mac Miller? (they both had videos directed by Rex Arrow Films… neat) Interesting Fact: I'm pretty sure he just got his master's degree in something… English? Poetry? Creative Writing? Twitter: @DWHY What I Have To Say: Clever candor, rambunctious rhetoric and whimsical wit show that D-WHY, David Morris, is more than a cookie cutter remixasist (BOOM, new [...]

Monday, Wednesday and Fridays we will bring you a new song of the day. Anything from oldies, rock, indie, rap/hiphop, or even country. For the first ever "Song of the Day" we'll start things off with this awesome Radiohead jam, from In Rainbows, "15 Step". As it turns out this song was in one of those Twilight movies. Pretty cool, huh? Oh, just kidding, we'll never put up a country song. Here is a live, horrible quality, version from the Grammy's. Only [...]

You get it? You know, because we are "20 Somethings" and also Awesome and there are times when Somethings are Awesome. This will be home to a couple (more?) "20 Somethings" who find these things interesting, funny, mind-blowing, informative, or just wicked awesome. Including but not limited to music, movies, sports, pictures, employment (or lack there of), and lifestyle (such as living with ones parents). It will mostly be under construction for the next couple of weeks but we hope to get things started soon with posts by this weekend.

My colleague didn't have the nicest words to say about "KUSH" when we linked to the song release, but I am really enjoying this joint. Get it? If not, you probably don't smoke "KUSH, till you're mind blown". This is a very good smoking song that will most likely make its way to the radio and clubs, with many remixes to come in the next few months. Any one else getting a little turned on by Snoop's pigtails? Just me? Alrighty then.

Well here is a song. Here is also a video. This video has some music in it. Some would call it a music video. They call it that because music is playing while the video is happening. Usually the two are somehow cohesive and "make sense" together. Sometimes they might be exciting, boring, intense, moving or a waste of time. I really have nothing good to say about this music video and didn't want only one sentence here. Enjoy? Kings of Leon-Pyro

I in no way dislike this song but why, out of all the awesome songs on Plastic Beach, would this one have the honor of becoming a music video? It is hilariously horrible. Snoop standing there, doing his weird little dance in that awesome getup. I laughed through the whole video but it is still dry and boring. Be sure to read our glowing review of Plastic Beach.

Bright Eyes has plans to release a new album, The People's Key early next year. February 15th, 2011 is the offical date but we will most likely get some teasers before that date. Although this will be Bright Eyes first album in four years that doesn't mean their front man, Conor Oberst hasn't been busy with his other acts, most notably Conor Oberst and the Mystic Vally Band . Here is the track listing taken from Bright Eyes' lacking website : 1 Firewall 2 Shell Games 3 Jejune Stars 4 [...]

Well this video is probably considered old by now, but I recently saw it for the first time and found it pretty cool. This is a revolutionary war inspired video for a song called "Tonight We Feel Alive (On A Saturday)," performed by a band called Four Year Strong. The song is kind of just background music for this action packed video.

There are only three words that can describe this video for "Twin Flames" by Klaxons: Weirdest. Orgy. Ever.

Here is a feel good about life song and video from Michael Franti & Spearhead. "Hey Hey Hey" reminds us that life is now and no matter how bad it gets, like the wrong person winning the Biggest Loser or any of those shitty Vh1 "reality" shows, you have to "hold on".

Epileptics, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Please, return where you came from. This is Sufjan Steven's video for "Too Much" off of his new album, Age of Adz. This video is very random and features more stop motion animation then The Nightmare Before Christmas. Well maybe not that much, but still it gets annoying. "Too Much" is a pretty average Sufjan song, off an extraordinary Sufjan album. I highly recommend checking out The Age of Adz , and who knows, maybe one day we'll get off our lazy bums and review it.

From that summer indie album smash hit, The Suburbs , comes the video from the opening track, "The Suburbs". If you couldn't already guess, this video takes place in the suburbs, with suburban kids, doing suburban things. It is also by THE Spike Jonzzzzzzzzzzzzze, so you know it's good. I feel sorry for these kids, I'm glad I didn't grow up in the suburbs...oh, wait.
