Ke$ha -

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
Ke$sha has confessed that her hit pop song, “Tik Tok, ” was provoked by how she felt after a classic night of boogying, with words drafted in pieces before she crumpled into a pissed sleep on her bed. Nonetheless a new video on YouTube shows the song might anonymously have been authored as an account for the first Star Trek series’ more classic moments. The fan-made video is pretty rabid, showing off quite how much the crew from the Concern enjoyed playing dress-up, dancing, and fighting one another. There are a lot of enormous moments here : when Kirk wound up sitting on a Tribble, when Spock played the harp, when Uhura danced drunkenly, and when Sulu jumped out of a door shirtless ( you are welcome, women ) while holding a fencing foil. The horrifying thing is that all these scenes actually correspond to words in the track.
Usually , I don’t have any patience for this song and even less for Ke$ha herself, but I enjoyed myself when I watched the Star Trek video as it was just so nerdy. Did Kirk actually get dressed up as an indigenous American medication man at one point? Apparently. Just like the way the show reputedly featured far more dance sequences than I can recollect seeing in the reruns I watched as a kid. The whole video is stupid, but it is funny and will make any Star Trek fan smile when they spot a minute they remember from the show.

Lady Gaga’s ‘Alejandro’

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Don’t ask, don’t tell doesn’t pass mobilize in the regiment Lady Gaga assembled for her Alejandro video. Her new video, which debuted online yesterday afternoon, is an orgy of German army images featuring a squad of buff, shirtless infantrymen goose-stepping and grinding against the nearly-nude Gaga.
No necessity to ask, you can tell: As far as sex and art, fashion and ripping off Madonna’s Express Yourself video, anything goes in Gaga land.
The sole thing proscribed is great fun. Gaga’s last video, Phone with Beyonce, pimped the star’s whacked-out vision: jail girl fights, bikinis created from 4th of July bunting, two shades made of burning cigarettes.
It is a mess, with plot twists and violence Quentin Tarantino would find stupid and cartoonish. But it was regarded as having a humorous personality Not Alejandro. Directed by Madonna-collaborator and fashion shutter-bug Steven Klein, it presents a dark, somber and miserable Lady Gaga; when she is not jammed between writhing, rippled torsos, she is brooding.
The plot is tough to decode, but it is obviously not a tale that ends happily for ever.
It opens with the fateful (and daft) goose-stepping and closes with Gaga on a bed fitted out in a latex nun’s habit. Between, there is a frozen heart on a black satin pillow, a coffin being carried thru the snow, and Cabaret gloom following the entire thing.
Oh, and there is a bra with machine gun barrels sticking out from each breast that is obviously an homage to, or besting of, Madge’s infamous conical cups. Is Gaga reaching her major phase? What can that even mean coming from Miss Disco Stick? The tune itself is the worst part of the video; Alejandro is the 1st Gaga smash that appeared played out halfway thru the 1st listen. But the clip still does its job. It’ll get a country of little monsters psyched for Gaga’s enormous summer vision, which includes sold-out nights at the TD Garden July one and two. Know this: If Gaga’s this abdominal thru 1,000,000 pixels, in the uncovered flesh and with her largest budget yet, she is going to blow minds.

Virgin Media Fails to Keep its Music Downloads Promise

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Virgin Media’s promise to its customers of providing them unlimited music download might not be fulfilled completely. Its subscribers will be able to avail its music download facility by December, but they will get only limited services. This news may come as a disappointment to the company’s subscribers who had been eagerly awaiting the unlimited service.

The ISP has decided to put a limit of 40MP3 downloads every month at the price of £15. The service is being launched in association with Universal Music. However, Sony Music and EMI, who are rivals of Universal Music, are uncomfortable with this partnership.

Virgin Media had first made an announcement in June with the promise of unlimited download facility. While that has not come into existence, the subscribers will still be able to stream unlimited music, if not download it.

Other than this change, the project is working on schedule, and as a spokesperson for Virgin Media said some time back, the company is negotiating with all important music labels to launch a good service.

BSkyB has similar plans to launch its own music download service. However, nothing has been finalized yet, and the subscribers are still waiting for an official declaration from the company.
