Not-So-Fastidious Friday

No dilly-dallying here today, folks. We have breaking and potentially upsetting news on this "Friday, Friday".

Rebecca Black has her "Friday" song taken off YouTube. NOW how will I be able to kick my Fridays off??

Cee Lo is annoyed by his recent success. It really must be difficult to sing a song all the time called "Forget You!".

Justin Timberlake tells Playboy magazine that "music is not a priority". Incidentally, reading the articles in Playboy isn't a priority, either.

Ke$ha shows off her stems at some event. Pardon me as I gouge my eyeballs with a mechanical pencil.

Pete Townshend auctions off his child por-, I mean, Les Paul guitar for $50,000.

While she may be aging, Fergie claims she is still "young at heart". When did Fergie contract Progeria?

After a recent trip to the hospital, Selena Gomez admits she needs to change her diet. That Bieber Fever is hazardous to one's health.

Clarence Clemons is in stable condition after a recent stroke.

Krayzie Bone from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony celebrates a birthday today. Here's "1st Of Tha Month".

Jack White and his wife get divorced on their six-year anniversary. Hmm, sounds pretty amicable to me.

Guilty Pleasure Song of the Week:

Hot Chelle Rae - "Tonight Tonight"

I'm not going to tell you where I work at, but I play this song constantly at live events. It's not a good song by any means, but it is a humiliatingly catchy tune that I find myself singing every now and then.

New Tunes From T-Maze

Your iPod is soooo two thousand-and-late. It's time for some New Music suggestions.

Pop

Gym Class Heroes - "Stereo Hearts" (ft. Adam Levine)

Being released to iTunes yesterday, this song is hot off the presses (or whatever they call it in the music biz; I'm in News-Herald mode right now).



Cee Lo Green - "Bright Lights Bigger City" (ft. Wiz Khalifa)

After a few quirky singles, Cee Lo has joined the world of fist-bumping club anthems. And has Wiz Khalifa turned into 2011's Pitbull? He seems to be featured in every song these days.



Foster The People - "Pumped Up Kicks"

I wanted a pair of pumped up kicks back in the early nineties, but my mom wouldn't buy them for me. Instead, I believe I settled for a pair of LA Gear's.



Country

Craig Campbell - "Fish"

I never got the appeal of fishing, but if I did, I wouldn't mind vibing to this tune as I cast a lure into Lake Erie. *Warning* This song includes a few nauseating puns and double entendres.



Brett Eldredge - "It Ain't Gotta Be Love"

I can't help it. I'm a sucker for an acoustic guitar solo.



The Dirt Drifters - "Always a Reason"

Not saying I don't like this song, but I recommend listening to these guys because I love their name.



Rock

Foo Fighters - "Walk"

I have seen Foo Fighters three times, and they have won a Grammy after I checked them out. I must be Dave Grohl's good luck charm.


Cold - "Wicked World"

This is a band I'm happy to see get back together. They are fantastic live, as I saw them when Year of the Spider was on the charts.



Skillet - "It's Not Me It's You"

I've had many a fight with previous girlfriends by just saying the name of this Skillet tune.
