</embed> Lana Del Rey is the luckiest girl alive, but more importantly, the luckiest new buzzband human alive. She sold mad albums, and really only performed like 10 songs total 4 a live audience. Now, she doesn't have to 'tour' because touring is 2 try to make money because u didn't sell albums, but she already sold albums, so she can be like 'whatevz. I'm just gonna chill, milk the spotlight, and do some random TV performances.' She was on Kimmel playing "Video Games ", and it was boring/forgettable. It is like she 'isn't [...]

Bon Iver played on SNL, but no1 watched, and no1 really cared because he didn't tank like #LDR. I guess he is nominated for Grammys, or something, but that's only because the Grammys will now have '1 white man indie rock slot' per year in the post-Arcade-Fire era. I wouldn't even recommend watching these videos. Bon Iver just represents how 'the indie scene' is getting older and boring, and most blogs are 'stuck' posting this garbage because cool dads have to waste time during the day at their jobs that make them $50-90k/year. Roughly 5% of [...]

</embed> Lana Del Rey 's Letterman performance was boring and forgettable, so any1 who wasted their time formulating an opinion on it is probably some obsessed loser. At the end of the day, Lana is CATAPULTING in2 mainstream fame, and most indie blogs will be forced to stop posting her bc she is so mnstrm and tweens + Middle Americans <3 her. These are her fans loving her outside of David Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theatre. Lana has fans. They love her. She loves them. Fan: We love u [...]

Even the most entry-level buzz market analyst knew that Lana Del Rey would COMPLETELY tank on Saturday Night Live. It happened right before our eyes like a trainwreck, except that the train was carrying tons of port-a-potties, and then everything got covered in poo-poo and they had to shut down an entire small town because of the toxic smelliness of the poo fumes, and then every1 got on twitter to say 'OMG THERE'S SO MUCH POO AND IT SMELLS SO BAD! EWIE MCGOOEY!' What was supposed to be Lana Del Rey 's introduction to Middle America turned [...]

</embed> This is Lana Del Rey performing on some television show called "Jonathan Ross." I have never heard of that show/that human, but I'm sure people who live in Estonia have never heard of Jimmy Fallon , so it probably all evens out. Anyways, she sang "Video Games " and it was mad boring. She has the same backing band, and sort of just half-asses thru the song. She could at least 'dance a lil bit', hire backup dancers, or maybe just wear less clothes. Lana's gonna have to do a little bit more than looking [...]

video platform video management video solutions video player If you have a lamestream band, you play the Ellen show, which is why Zooey Deschanel took her backing band to play some really lame Xmas carol on her show. I have honestly seen better performance of the same song at the old folks home where we sent my grandma to die/be systematically murdered by inept care, but they had an annual talent show around Christmas and an old lady named Martha did just about as good as Zoeey. Maybe Ol' [...]

Zooey Deschanel is the lead singer of She & Him , which basically means that she found a dude at a coffee shop/open mic night who could decently play guitar, and she sings with her frog-wave voice over the music and whimsy-ass girls are all like 'she's an indie icon!' Anyways, this is not a song from the Muppet Movie, instead it is a song off She & Him 's mainstream Xmas album. Unfortunately, they 'had their asses handed to them' by Michael Buble, but the band did go on Leno.</embed> U have to [...]

</embed> Whenever I've seen Das Racist LIVE, I have only seen a few faded bros rolling around on stage rapping. Never have I seen them 'play as a full band' with 'backing members.' I didn't even know they could play instruments. It seems like they saw the Conan O'Brien show as an opportunity to 'prove that they are real musicians' [via Unplugged vibes]. Maybe some1 told them that they had to 'put on a good show' or else they would 'totally piss away any chance of being on Fallon and having ?uestlove be their [...]

Bjork 's gimmick is about as tired as it gets. She used to be a cute foreigner screaming into a microphone over minimal, whimsical noises. Now she is the same thing with a few more bleeps and bloops. We get it, Bjork . U have a strong voice. Ur artsy. Now we realize that people from Iceland are just 'bat shit insane', not actually 'legitimate artists.' Bjork being a famous musician is the Icelandic equivalent of 'being a secretary at a law office.' There are tons of crazy women in Iceland yelling [...]

Ok. Did you watch Jimmy Fallon last night? If you didn't, you missed two things of note: 1) The Roots played Fishbone's "Lyin' Ass Bitch" for Michele Bachmann's walk-on song (!) and 2) M83 absolutely nailed their performance of "Midnight City," from their latest release, the double-album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming . For starters, "Midnight City" is one of the year's best tracks, so it made the performance all the more enjoyable. Watch Anthony Gonzalez and co. work some magic below. Just wait for the non-ironic, jazzy sax solo -- it really seals the deal. [...]

</embed> Lana Del Rey is the #1 meme of 2k11. Is she a legitimate artist? Probably not. However, every1 is talking about her. It will be interesting to see if her 'internet interest' actually sparks sales, or if every1 already 'gets' her vibe bc they just watched her sillie music videos. Anyways, she went on German TV and played at some bar. I don't know if this is a 'real network TV show', but it is probably a cable access show judging by the quality. Lana seems 'right at home' [...]

What happens if u ask Lana Del Rey to 'do something controversial for ratings'? You get Lana Del Rey 's TIGHT ASS on camera! It's as if the buzz gods finally heard our prayers and decided to give us something [HIGHLY BLOGGABLE]. Even though it's not an mp3 or an album, it's just a nice lil ass. On the bright side, we get to use out computer's zoom tool to try to figure out the most important question of the year: Is Lana Del [...]

Drake is commonly referred to as 'the softest nigga in the game', but it seems like he might get to give away his title belt to Donald Glover after this 'soft ass' performance on Fallon. He played his 'single' "Bonfire", and this performance was easily more horrific than the bombing of the Hindenburg by terrorists! It's such a disgrace that even ?uestlove, the poor man's Kevin Eubanks, bypassed playing drums, and that guy will srsly collab with any mediocre buzzband/youtube sensation. Admittedly, ?uestlove probs 'kissed his ass' backstage bc he is addicted to fame, and [...]

</embed> Let's be honest. Any one who ever thought it was 'kewl' to buzz Lana Del Rey should be forced to issue a public apology, then have significant percentage of their twitter followers 'removed'. We witnessed her 'live television debut' on some Jools Holland show, which is probably like the Jay Leno of England or something, and it did NOT go well. Maybe nerves. Maybe her marketing, pr, and management teams got a little bit too ambitious. She clearly wasn't ready 4 this, but I think they are doing the EZ buzz strategy where they 'piss off [...]

Don't click on this video, unless you want to fall the eff asleep. Staying true to their latest album 'Congratulations', their performance was a let-down, uninteresting, and uninspired. They must have received a paycheck or something, because these days 'non-album cycle late night performances' just mean that ur desperate for blog press. At least they put on kewl costumes. I guess that's what we expected from MGMT , right? We just want them to 'get their Of Montreal' on, and put on some zany yet boring festival show? What a letdown. I really hope they can [...]

Radiohead went on Saturday Night Live. I am not sure why they did that. Their whole gimmick is 'being interesting', 'cutting edge', and 'controversial.' But I guess they haven't really done anything that innovative since they 'gave away their album for free.' They must be desperate 4 something, which is why they went on SNL, which is basically only watched by 'losers in dead end relationships who stay in everynight' while they stuff their faces with Whole Foods pastries and feel convinced that they are the most important cultural critics in the world.</embed> At [...]

Neon Indian went on Fallon at around the same time that he received a 'controversial panning' from Pitchfork . It seems like Jimmy Fallon is really adopting Neon Indian as 'one of his fave buzzbands', and he will form a relationship similar to the one between David Letterman and Ryan Adams which lasts 4evr. </embed> The performance seemed chill. The 'backing band' members of Neon Indian looked 'cooler', and 'more professional' than ever. They all played some synths, twisted some nobs, made some noises. We got to [...]

Let's be honest. The majority of St. Vincent 's music is too 'high end' for any1 to enjoy unless the have a stick up their ass. It's not really poppy, nor is it very listenable. Most guys just go to check out her premium indie looks/body. Last night she was on Letterman, and if I were a mainstreamer in Middle America, I would be all like 'Who is that crazy Annie Lennox wannabe?"</embed> Not sure where she got her outfit. Pretty confused by this entire thing. If she breaks the [...]
