Got An Earworm?

Earworms. That’s what super catchy songs are sometimes referred to, because they burrow deep in your psyche and don’t let go. They become the soundtrack to whatever you’re doing — eating, shopping, working — and basically take over any spare brain space. Daft Punk’s new single “Get Lucky” is one of those earwormy tracks — an endlessly repeating riff featuring vocals from uber-charming Pharrell. The full length album, Random Access Memories, won’t be out in the states until May 21, but writer Alex Bailey deftly explains just what makes “Get Lucky” so compelling. Keep reading »

Playlist!

We were saddened to hear that Divinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett passed away over the weekend, after a long battle with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis. Aphlett and her bandmate Mark McEntee shot to fame over their early ’90s ode to masturbation, “I Touch Myself.”

“Chrissy’s light burns so very brightly. Hers was a life of passion and creativity,” said her husband Charley Drayton, in a statement. “She always lived it to the fullest. With her force of character and vocal strength, she paved the way for strong, sexy, outspoken women.”

“I Touch Myself” was one of the few pop tracks that blatantly referenced masturbation, and certainly was one of the most popular. It reached number one in Amphlett’s native Australia, and climbed to number four on the American pop charts. Not to mention, the video for the song was everywhere when it first came out.

In more recent years, Amphlett had focused her attention on her ailing health, but also took time to star as Russell Crowe’s mother in an Australian stage production of the musical “Blood Brothers.” After the jump, a playlist dedicated to Amphlett’s forwarded-thinking, sexually open hit track.

Great Song -- But Not On Repeat!

Last week, Samantha Malson was arrested for pushing and chocking her boyfriend Lars Hansen after a drunk Hansen refused to stop singing the song “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore. Sure, “Thrift Shop” is a great song, but hearing anything over and over again is going to be annoying.

Poor Lars is hardly the only person to suffer for a song. Read on, for more tales of music murder and mayhem. Keep reading »

Justin Timberlake’s Music Video For “Mirrors” Is A Touching Tribute To His Grandparents

One of my favorite songs on Justin Timberlake’s just released album, The 20/20 Experience – which is growing on me! –  is “Mirrors,” which also happens to be the latest single. Justin released the music video for the song yesterday, which he dedicated to his grandparents William and Sadie. The video — which doesn’t even feature Justin until towards the end — tells the story of his grandparents’ 63-year marriage and, damn, if it didn’t make me get a little teary. I’m still waiting for Justin to bring sexy back again, but tugging at my heartstrings will do for now.

Hot Links: Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience Is A Two-Parter

  • Tomorrow, Justin Timberlake releases his long anticipated new album, The 20/20 Experience … but that’s only part one! Turns out, part two — which, like part one, will also have 10 tracks — will be released in November. Personally, I am kind of underwhelmed by The 20/20 Experience  — at least part one — so can Justin bring the sexy back again with part two? Thanks. [Celeb Dirty Laundry]

QUOTABLE
Taylor Swift

“If I’m gonna write songs about my exes they can write songs about me. That’s how it works. I’m not gonna complain about it. I’m not gonna sit there and say, ‘I’m the only one who can write songs about this relationship.’ It’s fair game.”

– I’m not the world’s biggest Taylor Swift fan, but I totally stand by her right to write catchy-as-fuck songs about her personal life, including those romantic relationships that have gone wrong. Go to bed with songwriters, wake up to the latest pop hit being written about you. And Taylor has now made it clear — in an interview with InStyle UK — that this deal goes both ways. How soon till Harry Styles attempts to call her bluff? [InStyle UK]

  • This must have been edited out of the broadcast! Ukrainian TV personality Vitalii Seduik — the same guy who kissed Will Smith on a red carpet — rushed the stage when Adele won her Grammy award for Best Solo Pop performance, trying to steal her thunder, before he got the sideeye from presenter J.Lo, who shooed him off with the back of her hand. The Hollywood Reporter claims Seduick didn’t have a ticket to the event, but nevertheless was allowed into the Staples Center, where he sat behind Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. He’s the White House Party Crasher of the Grammys! [US Weekly]
