Kool & the Gang knows how to talk to the ladies:
“romantic ladies, single babies, ummmmm sophisticated mama, come on you disco lady”
The essence of finals procrastination in videos: Part 3
Electric Light Orchestra: “Turn To Stone”
I love every single part of this song and every single part of this video and every single part of the man cleave loving ELO (thank you for making xanadu perfect).
If you take one thing away from this video, I hope it’s the cello player. Yes, there are two cello players, but i’m sure you’ll figure out which one i’m talking about

Britney Spears has some great videos. My only disagreement with this Rolling Stone Reader’s Poll? The absence of (You Drive Me) Crazy.
So I’ve added it
Grading Billboard’s Top Ten Hot Holiday Songs (via Grantland)
1. Mariah Carey, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”
Nobody owns the “festive” holiday season like the queen of Claus, the voice of the universe’s mysteries, the great and venerable Mariah Carey herself. This song is a lifetime classic because it rulezzzzz. It’s one of the only Christmas songs I can stand to hear out of season because it is foremost well-crafted and catchy, and only secondarily a nutmeg-spiced holiday jam. Mariah flips the Phil Spector holiday album on its back and touches its body in her red velvet white marabou-trimmed bodysuit. It reminds me of Revlon’s famous ad campaign for Cherries In The Snow and other abstract desires.
Grade: A+ infinity
Truer words have never been spoken. The only change i would make would be to give it an A++ infinity grade

Allen Stone
I am taking it upon myself to spread the news of this fabulous musician because he’s my newest obsession
you’ve gotta give the kid some props, he embraces his unconventional look and has introduced the world to a fabulous falsetto-loving white soul singer.
every musician mentioned in this Billboard article (whether it’s in comparison to Stone or listed as an influence) is on my list of faves, so I really didn’t need any special convincing to give him a chance.
Check him (live from his mother’s house) out here
his album comes out tomorrow, don’t miss it (you know I won’t be)
