Joan Jett – Bad Reputation

Let’s see…Insert one part vintage MJ.  One part Timberland and Co.  Add the Kings of Orange.  And spin.

Enjoy.

Duffy – Warwick Avenue

Quick question.  What do you get when you combine Weezer, Queen, and Joan Jett all together in one song?  Give up?  Hit the link to find out.

What you would get is today’s first post of Music Mashups.  What’s a mashup you ask?  Well a mashup is when someone takes the vocal track from one song and places it over the music of another.  Sometimes it works very well, sometimes not.  The selection that I have chosen for you today works pretty well I think.

Watch the video, but more importantly enjoy the music.

Oh and by the way don’t forget to check out mynutts.  From here on I’ll be posting most of my posts in both places.

later.

Earlier this week I posted a video about a honest R&B song.  I wanted to use a picture of an obscure, former R&B artist for the preview pic and little Tevin was the first one to come to mind.  But after an exhaustive search (two minutes on google images) to find an adequate photo of him, I conceded defeat but not before I said to myself that I could always use him as this week’s WW.

Now again I apologize for my lack of effort in the past weeks in regard to my posts.  I am getting back into the swing of things, but since I’m still juggiling real work and fantasy work, I’m not quite up to speed on everything.  Therefore I’m going to admit up front to “phoning in” this week’s wayback.  Take it away wikipedia.

Tevin Jermod Campbell (born November 12, 1976 in Dallas, Texas) is a five-time Grammy-nominated American R&B singer-songwriter.

Campbell scored a string of R&B chart hits as a teenager in the early-mid 1990s. Like Usher and Marques Houston, Campbell transitioned from child singer to adult R&B crooner, and is a recognizable figure in the New Jack Swing genre of music.

Tevin Campbell was introduced to the R&B music scene as a protegé of legendary producer Quincy Jones in August 1989. Campbell’s debut single was “Tomorrow (A Better You Better Me)” which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart in November, 1989. It was the lead single from Quincy Jones’ critically acclaimed ensemble LP Back on the Block which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1990. After working with Jones and writers and producers including Siedah Garrett, Campbell worked with producers Narada Michael Walden, Al B. Sure, Babyface, and others to record additional music.

Sublime – April 29, 1992

Well it’s been entirely too long since I last posted something, so let’s see if I can get back into the swing of things.

First, the chick in the photo has nothing to do with the video you’re about to see.  My first intention was to post a picture of an obscure R&B singer from yester-year, but I couldn’t find any that were of adequate size.  Then it occurred to me to just put up a pic of some random chick from an R&B video.  All I can say is type in “r & b girl” into Google image search and see what you come up with.  After sifting through what looked like an endless supply of smut, (not that I’m complaining but that’s not what I was after at the time), I remembered the name of one of those mathematically impossibly round bottom chicks named Buffie that I could use for this post.

But alas I digress.

The following video was sent to me by Full Frontal *(remember her)* this past weekend.  Now if you guys have been looking around the internet in the last few days/weeks you might have already have seen this particular video and might think to yourself, why did it take ATE so long to post about this.  To that I would reply, I have a 14 year old, and apparently he is the penance I must pay for driving my parents crazy.

Enjoy the video.

Metallica – S & M Live with the SFSO

Let me start today’s WW off by saying that I have a whole new respect for this band after we tried to play this song this past weekend on Rock Band.

You see Black Hole Sun, comes from SoundGarden, one of the grandfathers of grunge after having formed their band back in 1984.  However it would take the likes of fellow Seattle bands Nirvana and Pearl Jam, before the garden would hit it big.  Through their tenure, five studio albums were released but most people, (myself included) really only remember the fourth album that today’s song comes off of.  

“Black Hole Sun won’t you come, and wash away the rain.  Black hole sun won’t you come, won’t you come?”
