This song is gonna blow up. It's very catchy. I can already see the throng of white chicks screaming and running to the dance floor when they hear the first few seconds.
It's Lil Mama (the Lip Gloss chick...I'm a big fan of that song) featuring Chris Brown and T-Pain. It's very dancy, and what's interesting is that T-Pain is rapping instead of doing that weird vocorder singing.

Movies: Zeitgeist
I received an e-mail from my mom with the subject [Fwd: Scary Stuff]. It was a link to the following video, a snippet from a documentary called Zeitgeist. It's been viewed 2.5 million times. You can watch the entire 2 hour movie for free at www.zeitgeistmovie.com.
It was a surprising link to receive from my mom, because it's basically about how the goverment is becoming more and more controlling of its people, and how we will eventually live under a single world goverment that no one will dare to question. Not necessary what you'd expect from a woman who's in the 32% of Americans that still approve of Bush's job as President.
There's a lot of stuff in this clip that can't really be proven (e.g. another 9/11 conspiracy), so take it with a grain of salt. However, I'm still posting it because I support any movement that encourages questioning the norm and thinking critically about the power of government over its people.
Hopefully Shane will leave an in-depth analysis in the comments since he keeps up with politics more than anyone else I know.

Movies: Cloverfield quasi-review
NO SPOILERS
OK, so I saw Cloverfield last night. It was pretty cool, but it didn't blow me away. I probably bought into the hype too much. What a dummy.
Anyway, Whitney Matheson from Pop Candy was right on the money, so I'm just gonna quote her.
1. Go in with no expectations. Try to forget about the hype and just take pleasure in the film, which is 90 minutes of frightful fun. If you've been ignoring the online "clues" and whatnot, you might even be at an advantage.Rating: 3 Preashes
2. Do not sit in the front row. Reviews will probably compare this to The Blair Witch Project, partly because of the handheld camera work. On Monday we may hear from moviegoers who couldn't handle the shakiness. I'm not sure how I could've prepared for it, but I'm warning you: It's pretty severe.

Music: Placebo - "Running Up That Hill"
I was watching the Real World finale just now when I heard a song that caught my ear. I Googled some of the memorable lyrics and discovered that it's called "Running Up That Hill" by a British band called Placebo (who's apparently been around for a long time).
Anyway, according to Wikipedia, this is the last track on the US version of their latest album, Meds. It's a Kate Bush cover.
I find it to be an awesome song. It sounds very Brand New-ish (circa Deja Entendu) with a slightly electronica twist. Maybe because of the dark vibe, maybe because of the lead singer's whimpering, crackly vocal quality, maybe because of the stripped-down instrumentation, maybe because of the build-up-to-rock-out ratio. Whatever it is, if you like Brand New, I guarantee you'll like this jam.
Lemme know what you think, and feel free to share any Placebo insight.
Colin, Levi, Nolan, this should blow your balls off.
Here's Placebo performing it live (great quality)
