LISTEN: New Timberlake Single “TKO”

I was a little afraid to listen to Justin Timberlake’s new song mostly because the first part of The 20/20 Experience besides “Mirrors” and “Body Count” were pretty underwhelming, but it’s not bad at all.

(If you know me at all, you know that “not bad” is my Daria-esque way of saying that I love it and am currently dancing in circles to it until I projectile vomit on the three perplexed cats that are ~~watching me~~ waiting for me to die so they can eat me.)

Sugar Ray Debuts New Song at Under the Sun Tour

Remember Sugar Ray? Remember how fucking rad they were?

Yeah, so do I. That’s why when I heard about this tour, which rolled through the Greek Theater in Los Angeles this past Saturday, I immediately purchased tickets. Because those bands are all insanely awesome, and my 1999 self wanted to see them all live. Each one of them put on a phenomenal, nostalgia-inducing performance.

The song has only been performed a couple of times, so it’s difficult to find. But a clip from this live show in Indonesia does a decent job of showcasing the it. I’ll just wait here while you listen.

Done? Bad right?! I mean those lyrics…what the hell is Sugar Ray doing? Continue reading “Sugar Ray Debuts New Song at Under the Sun Tour” →

Justin Timberlake’s New Song ‘Suit & Tie’ is Rubbish

I’ve loved Justin Timberlake ever since I found out there was an alternative to the Backstreet Boys. I put up with his cornrows, cross tattoo, and matching denim cowboy hat and jacket because I knew he would always bring me joy with his luscious musical talents and kind blue eyes, but now I see that his recent marriage to Jessica Biel has rusted his gift, and something must be done!

Though I’m positive that the new song, “Suit & Tie” featuring Jay-Z, is a rushed, throwaway b-side track to appease the fans and by no means a gauge of what the album he’s working on (The 20/20 Experience) will be like, I also know as a longtime Timberlake fan that it’s the fault of his current girlfriend, or in this case, wife.
