Increase Your Musical Knowledge With The b5 Media Music Channel’s Bloggers

Yesterday, I wrote a post to promote two videos which I thought should get greater attention. Hopefully this meant you watched the offerings from The Bees and The Mooney Suzuki, and increased your musical knowledge a little bit.
This post was part of an endeavour by the whole of the b5 Music Channel to suggest some […]

Fragma - ‘Toca’s Miracle’ Music Video Review | Another Crappy Dance Re-Release

What the hell is happening with dance tunes these days? Is releasing them once not enough for anyone? It seems they all have to be released multiple times, often years apart.
We’ve already seen it happen with the Utah Saints re-releasing Something Good. Basically the same song as the original, just speeded up for the 2008 […]

September - ‘Cry For You’ Music Video Review | But What Is That Sample?

This song has just entered the UK charts at number 9, although apparently it’s been around for a while now. However, I’ve just discovered it myself so here’s a quick review.
I’ve never heard of September before, although she is apparently Swedish singer Petra Marklund, and she’s been around for ages as a Europop dance type […]

P. Diddy Feat. Keyshia Cole - ‘Last Night’ Music Video Review | Better Than Soulja Boy

Any regular readers of this site (if there is any, I’m not sure judging by the lack of comments I get) will know that I’m not a big fan of the current generation of Rap/R’n’B artists around.
It’s just that most of them are generic and pretty untalented, just putting the same crap out there as […]

Beastie Boys - ‘Sabotage’ Music Video Review | Is This The Best Music Video Ever Made?

This is going to split people right down the middle. Not literally of course, that would just be sick, but it will divide people between those who love this video, and those who hate it.
Whichever camp you’re in, you can’t fail to realise what a stroke of genius it is, both in content and delivery.
Old […]

Akon Feat. T-Pain - ‘I Can’t Wait’ Music Video Review | A Car & Some Girls… Whoop!

I’ve got so much to say about this song, the crappy video which accompanies it, Akon being a talentless fool, and the emergence of T-Pain as “the guy who can’t have a hit by himself”.
Let’s start with Akon. He came to mine, and most people’s attention with Lonely, that song which had him accompanying what […]

The Kooks - ‘Always Where I Need To Be’ Music Video Review | Americanised Enough?

British band The Kooks are continuing their mission to become completely Americanised, as can be witnessed in this, their latest video for Always Where I Need To Be.
As a big British music fan, as anyone who regularly reads Brit Music Scene will know, I find it sad when home-grown artists feel the need to change […]

Lil Wayne Feat. Static Major - ‘Lollipop’ Music Video Review | Okay & Crap At Same Time?

Oh dear. Am I starting to like R’n’B? This isn’t a good development. There’s so much I hate about this song yet I find myself liking it despite myself.
It’s the normal fare, with lyrics describing women as mere sexual objects, and nothing that takes it from the decidedly average to the inspired.
In actual fact, I […]

Usher Feat. Young Jeezy - ‘Love In This Club’ Music Video Review… Finally!

I’ve been waiting what seems like ages to finally get the chance to review this song, and accompanying video, but haven’t had the chance until now.
Because the song was leaked online prematurely, it was then released digitally, and has been and gone at the top of the US Billboard charts. It did however mean that […]

Gnarls Barkley - ‘Run’ Music Video Review | Failing To Repeat The Success Of ‘Crazy’

Along with millions of other people around the world, I was entranced by Gnarls Barkley in 2006 when they released the magnificent Crazy.
I may be sick to the back teeth of it now, unless it’s one of the bizarre remixes which are all over YouTube, but at the time it was a breath of fresh […]
