American Idol Recap: Season 8, Season Finale (pt 1)

Ameri-kizzy I-dizzy. Adam v. Kris with a K. This… is American Idol!

I can’t believe that we’re at the end of the road! We’re in the Nokia Theatre, which is substantially larger than the hovel we’re used to and Seacrest immediately starts drawing images of acoustic rocker v. glam rocker, Conway v. California, the guy next door v. guyliner (no! Guyliner is on LOST). We see the judges; Randy is wearing polka dots, stripes, plaid, and all other types of patterns. Kara looks nice, Paula looks like she’s been sleeping in a tanning booth, and Si actually dressed up for the occasion. We welcome the finalists, and here they are. Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 3

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 3 live music

Are we really down to the final 3? Ryan tells us that they became heroes in their home towns… blah, blah. The 3 are standing center stage looking stupid under 3 spotlights. This is all so dramatic… well, that’s because THIS… is American Idol. Hollah!

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 7… Round 2.

A M E R I C A N I D O L . Here. We. Go!

Ryan recaps Matt’s survival on last week’s elimination, and reminds us that two are going home. With flames a plenty in the background, we zoom in on Ryan’s mug and “THIS… is American Idol!” Huzzah!

Ryan is on the stage in an extremely snappy suit. He’s lookin’ sharp and recapping all the crap he just recapped before the opening credits. He welcomes the judges, who all look like regular people tonight, and says hi to our top 7. Here they all come, looking chipper and ready for action.  Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 7 live music

Here we are. Same beginning, same Seacrest. Sounds like we’re doing “Music From the Movies” and Quentin Tarantino is our guest judge (he even says, “This… is American Idol).” How bad do I hope that somebody gets up there and whistles that haunting nurse whistle from Kill Bill Vol.1?  Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 8 live music

Okay, we’re opening just like we open every week. Ryan is telling us how the fate of the world is resting squarely on our shoulders, we pan the stoic faces of the final 8 contestants, and “THIS…. Is American Idol.”

Ryan talks about the jam-packed week we have before us (tonight’s show is only an hour long… thank goodness) and tells us our theme: “Songs that were popular the year you were born.” Hooray! Continue reading →

Old People Hate Animal Collective, Beirut, Indie Rock In General

These videos have circulated the net over the past couple of days, and they are truly hilarious. Three elderly folks sit in a diner every Sunday and check out 2-3 tracks, typically of the Indie Rock or Rap genre. They’ve now infamously bashed “My Girls,” “My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille,” “In The New Year,” and other great songs. Watching their facial reactions, their groaning about the build-ups and repetition, and their slightly off-color remarks makes for a great viewing experience. Check out one of the videos below, the one with “My Girls” (and a Young Jeezy listen as well). Then check out the other videos at this website. Enjoy.

Little Boots – Day N Nite (Kid Cudi Cover)

As Pigeons And Planes pondered when they posted this yesterday, how is this not all over the internet? Regardless, Little Boots has an excellent, piano-based cover of Kid Cudi’s hit, “Day ‘N’ Nite” up on Youtube. Check it out right here at PMA.

Lil’ Wayne’s “Prom Queen” Music Video: Whoops!

Yikes:

YouTube Preview Image

So this rock album is actually happening? Lil’ Wayne wasn’t just trying to play a brilliant prank on us?

What a terrible video. You know what: I shut it off midway not because of the video itself, but because I couldn’t take the song anymore. And I didn’t feel like muting my computer just to watch Weezy look at a girl’s underwear and run around with a guitar. So goodbye, “Prom Queen” video. I hope I never see you again.

Is this move to rock n’ roll as bad as I think it is for Weezy, or should we cut the guy some slack? Thanks to Videogum for the tip.
