2) Eating cheetos. Unfortunately, I’ve probably lived most of my life pulling this Britney move because I actually love 4) Flubbing something, anything, preferably the VMAs. How can anyone forget the most disappointing 3 minutes of the entire year? We got to see Brit-brit screw up the most important performance of her life!

Top iTunes of 2007December 11th, 2007, 3:02 pm by Crystal OlveraAnd the top selling albums on iTunes are … And the 2008 Grammy nominees are ….December 6th, 2007, 11:55 pm by Crystal OlveraThe following is a list of the categories people actually care about. For those of you who care about the nominees for best adult contemporary barbershop quartet album click here. 5 things that aren’t Into The Groove or whatever…November 11th, 2007, 12:33 pm by Crystal Olvera1. That new Alicia Keys song. It was great the first time I heard it at the VMAs, now it’s just annoying. I hate the stomping beat and the cymbal crashes, they hurt my ears. 2. Marie Digby’s cover of “Umbrella.” World, she wasn’t the first person to do this. If Mandy Moore would’ve released this as a single, Digby would still be at her house doing YouTube videos. 3. One Republic and Timbaland’s “Apologize.” Last week I decided to count how many times I heard this song on the radio in one day. I heard it six times. Throw in the fact that the only thing Timbaland does for this tune is sing “Hey, hey, hey,” and I’m done. 4. Vanessa Carlton 5. Listening to “Cyclone,” “A Bay Bay,” and “Soulja Boy” in one day while sober _____________________________________________________ Photo courtesy of Yahoo Music Rock star costume ideas for HalloweenOctober 25th, 2007, 12:40 am by Crystal OlveraOk people, you’ve got a few more days to find the perfect Halloween costume. For those of you who think that’s enough
time, it’s not! I’ve been brainstorming since July (I’m a Halloween fiend OK? Some prepare for Christmas, I do Halloween. And even now, I’m still not settled on my Amy Winehouse costume just yet. I mean, yes, the woman is the perfect hot mess, but I’m bound to find a few Amy Winehouses around the Valley when I go out this weekend.) ANYWAY, I started brainstorming on other rock costumes that might be easy to put together at the last minute and came up with a few ideas that some of you pop enthusiasts might consider at the last minute. So if you’re unprepared, poor and don’t want to get stuck being the a ghost, keep reading. Madonna - Seriously ladies (and gentlemen) this woman has a bajillion styles to choose from. From ‘Material Girl’ to pink and purple disco queen, there’s a giant catalogue to look through. Best of all, it’s not hard (unless you’re doing Madonna from the Bedtime Stories video. Then you’re on your own.) I’m thinking ’80s Madonna is the easiest and most recognizable. Throw on some black leggings, fishnet anything, a gold cross and a wrist-load of bracelets and ta-da!

Movie songs from 77 to 1, with honorable mentionsMay 30th, 2007, 1:27 pm by Crystal OlveraI was blog-surfing today, hunting down newly released music videos when I came across this list created by the people at AOL. The bloggers rounded up what they believe to be the 77 most unforgettable movie songs. Why 77? No idea. But they included pretty much everyone you can think of–from Titanic’s “My Heart Will Go On” to “I Believe I can Fly” from Space Jam. But as usual, I thought there were some very memorable contenders that were left off the list… “Head Over Heels” and “Mad World” - Donnie Darko Tears for Fears’ “Head over Heels” in Donnie Darko is one of the best examples of a director using a song as more than just a part of the backdrop. The dream-like sequence of a mundane day at Donnie’s school is made even more unbearably mundane as the 80s hit teams up with the camera for a peek into the lives of each of the characters.
I actually saw Gary Jules perform ”Mad World” at SXSW. His set, which was composed of a bunch of alt-country stuff, came to an abrupt end when he closed it with the haunting Tears for Fears cover. All I could think about as I sat in that dark auditorium was Frank the bunny and the strange, baffling resolution. (Frank still haunts me in my dreams. I’m not kidding.)
“Blower’s Daughter” - Closer Damien Rice’s “Blower’s Daughter” is a song, I’d loved for months before the movie was released. So I had already had my own attachment to it. But after watching “Closer,” all it does is remind me of the sad, uncomfortable ending.
“I Say A Little Prayer” - My Best Friend’s Wedding All I really know about Dionne Warwick is that she’s related to Whitney Houston and sings one of the cheesiest songs ever written with Elton John and Stevie Wonder. Oh yeah, and she believes in psychics. (OK, so I know a lot.) But she reminds me of that time me and my mom bonded when we went to see “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Watching Rupert Everett sing “I Say A Little Prayer” had every girl wishing he was straight and that all families could break into song. Yeah, I know, lame movie, so sue me!
“Afternoon Delight” - Anchorman One of the best, recent memorable movie moments is in Anchorman. Watching Will Ferrell using the Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight” to explain how it feels to be in love to his fellow news cronies never gets old. Outta sight my man!
“Holiday Road” - Vacation movies And last but not least, Lindsey Buckingham’s “Holiday Road” in pretty much, every National Lampoon’s vacation movie is probably the most unforgettable of them all. This song is my childhood!
I know there are probably many more. Anyone got any other suggestions? |
Cheetos, no matter how unhealthy they are. Which is why I like to say: I’ve been soooo tempted to pull a Britney on my low-carb diet.
