4 MINUTES OF THE PUREST JOY (MADONNA 4 MINUTES VIDEO HQ)

    As I hoped, when I came back from the gym last night Madonna's new video was already up on Dailymotion (another YouTube), luckily the internet runs fast so I got my fix, I went deaf as I listened to it as loud as I could with my big headphones on, I jumped on my chair, and I was late to work cause I spent so much time looking for it. Today I found it at Megavideo cause in Dailymotion they're constantly deleting it whenever they upload it again [Update: I've found a better version of the video than the Megavideo one].
    I'm not gonna say anything about the video, just watch it and love it or hate it. No, just love it and jump on your chair and go deaf like me!

    Note: Click on the red arrow to watch in in full screen.

[Alternative video upload (in case): Megavideo.]

    Well OK it has its downside, you'll never feel like kissing again, but hey isn't it worth it to watch Madonna's new song in motion? Yes it is!

THAT'S HOW YOU COME BACK IN 2008
WORK IT!!

PS: Is it, like, legal to post this? I don't know! Geezz sometimes it's good to have such an unpopular blog, no?

I'M GOING CRAZY

    I'm telling you, that Madonna is torturing me! I read that the video for 4 minutes is out for purchase on iTunes already starting today and I've seen a little piece of it and I'm burning inside, I can't wait! Here in my beloved hot España olé we have no music videos in our iTunes cause Apple don't care about no Spaniards, so even though I'm so desperate I'd pay those damn 2,5 euros I'm not able to, I'm trapped!, and I've searched trough all the corners of the cyberspace looking for the illegal thing and nothing, geezz this is the internet and this is Madonna, hello?

    The snippet on iTunes is even hotter, but you get the idea.
    Well I'm off to the gym to get hot as a panther, it better be somewhere when I comeback. Hackers, work!
    Is it legal to encourage hackers?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS

    Look at the Billboard Hot 100 chart and you'll find the biggest pieces of shit that could be thrown at your ears, alongside some nice things, and now I learned that something as amazing (by commercial pop standards) as "Outta My Head" didn't even reach to perform in it. I know it was a risky bet by Ashlee Simpson, sporting a new alternative edgy vibe, but I thought people would get it and make it successful, but no, they're happy with their Carrie Underwood and they stick to it. Anyway, here's the video, $1 to the one who finds a better one among the current Top 10.

   

    Now she's releasing a new unexciting boring lame pop rock song to second try and probably will be successful.

LA CASA AZUL

    That's the name of the band I'm obsessed with right now. It started as a Gorillaz type of band, meaning the singer and producer didn't ever show, with a fake band of 5 facing the videos, but in the latest video (below) he shows and sings, and the whole thing is more mature, dropping the uber naive mood of the previous ones, which I loved, but I love the new style as well. I rarely like Spanish music but this is one of those honorable exceptions, pity is if you don't understand the language you can't notice the fantastic use of words. It may look like it's all hoo hoo happy and silly, but the the songs are really beautifully composed and the guy really has a remarkable talent that keeps surprising me in every listen.

   
    If you like it, I recommend you also my 2 other favorites videos of them Superguay and El Sol No Brillará Nunca Más, ya'll know what happy is.

UMBRELLA, EMO VERSION

Parody of the Rihanna hit by group Vanilla Sky.

I love it!

LISTEN "POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE" BY NATASHA BEDINGFIELD HERE

    The other night was the Season 3 finale of The Hills, MTV's kinda-reality hit show. If you watched it you probably noticed the catchy song that sounded the last few minutes. As every other teenage girl out there, I searched for it like there was no tomorrow, only to finally find out that there's no human way (meaning legal nor illegal) to own the tune, as it's not out yet and it won't be until January 15 with the next Natasha Bedingfield's album, titled after the song.

    So the only way to listen to it by now (until it leaks) is to watch the video of its run in The Hills' finale. Don't worry there's almost no talk on top of it. And *SPOILERS ALERT*: it's the last minutes of the show's finale, so if you care about this fact don't watch it.

 

 ★ UPDATE: The song is on the internet already so here you have it for your listening pleasure in all its glory (well actually if you download it it sounds much better), PRESS PLAY BELOW!!:

   

    By the way, if you can't wait to see more of Lauren's adventures, it's been just announced that there will be 8 extra episodes of this season that will air next spring depicting her Paris trip.

☛ You can watch all the full episodes, including the finale here: THE HILLS.

AMY WINEHOUSE ON THE EMAs, A DIAMOND TO SEE AT LEAST ONCE

    Well the more I see it the more I love it. Her voice is such a gift that even on crack she fills the room with amazingness.

   

    (Performance on the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007, in Munich last November 1)

WAITER, THERE'S A SIENNA MILLER IN MY VOGUE COVER

    Mmmm where's Amy Winehouse? Bah, after all the rumors saying the British underground diva would make it to the September issue's cover, Mamma Anna went and chose the British D-list actress A-list trend setter instead, which apparently she can't have enough of, giving birth to probably the most boring cover in history of human kind. For the October issue maybe?

    Here's Amy's new video anyway (directed by David LaChapelle):

THE "GRILL GLASSES" ARE HERE TO KILL YOU

    Sorry, I just like powerful headlines.

    You didn't think Kanye West would make some random come back, right? Well he did. His first video from next album "Graduation", "Can't Tell Me Nothing" which came out last May was totally forgettable even though the song is excellent and I love it. But! He's not one who's silly, his self-driven success proves this, so after the silent reaction to his expected-to-be-huge reappearance he then came up with a bigger, better, MTV shaking video: "Stronger". Just don't miss it, watch it in high quality here.
    In collaboration with Daft Punk, this song is as crazy as you want an epic first single to be. The video, directed by Hype Williams (who also did "Can't Tell Me Nothing") and shot in Japan, is a dark post-apocalyptic manga-styled affair, only not as condensed as that sounds. Partly inspired by the anime movie Akira, West keeps on breaking (exploding) the tired rules of Hip-Hop. He's not content with making another hot girls in bikini shaking booty video, he wants to explore and discover, and truth is thank God we have him, he's the only rap star I really admire, as he's not only rich and ostentatious, which he is, but he does it in a more tasteful way than all those 50 Cents who can't do anything but showing off how big their cars and necklaces are and how many pussies they suck, and whose major achievement is the spread of homophobia. I don't say they're not talented, but I wouldn't buy a record of them even if I loved it.
     So, about the Grill Glasses, you may say this is a month-old news, but what if I show you this pic from the weekend:

    I think it's cool, as an artist you gotta always do new stuff in order to keep up the attention, so I'd rather have this than him hooking up with Paris Hilton in Star (no, there's no other alternatives).
    I don't know who designed these super-deformed bitches [Update: turns out these are paper-made and were given to the crowd in a concert (Fun!)], but the Grill Glasses from the "Stronger" video are made by Alain Mikli. I browsed his website and I couldn't find any interesting sunglasses though. I know they're based in the 80's originals "Venetian Blind Sunglasses" (don't ask), apparently West found these and then asked the mentioned brand to make a new version for him, and looks like he loved the result cause he's been wearing them every time he's found the oportunity. The originals look like these in the "Stronger" cover:

    Non of them are from irreverent fashion designer Jeremy Scott as they're saying in every blog, the ones from him are these:

    ...which are hot as a panther and can be spotted in his new video as well, about which Kanye said: "Stronger is also a fashion statement. Its for people like us, who dress fresh and like fly shit. And if you don't like the song, then more than likely you don't know how to dress either."

    If you wanna buy the Grill Glasses, kill yourself you have to specially order them by phone (Alain Mikli free number 1-800-829-8032). Oh and they cost only $1500.

SO WHAT IF KELLY CLARKSON IS FAT?

SHE'S NOT A MODEL ANYWAY

    And. I love her latest song "Never Again".

    And. She had the guts to fight her company to be able to do the album she wanted, instead of a more commercial one.  Finally she had to agree to make a pop album next year or they wouldn't publish "My December". They're fucking sick, aren't they. Would you be able to force an artist to record an album she hated just to make money? God maybe I'm too good or something but I don't see myself doing that, even if she wanted to go heavy metal. I guess that's why I'm not the boss of Sony BMG X)))
    UGH I'm too good to be the boss of anything! OMG That means I will always be poor! ;____(((
