The first 0:34 of this video…

...will cause you to cover your children's eyes as well as create multiple children. Courtesy of the JB-Handroll in Japan, Rip Slyme combines corny, feel-good and lewd videography with mildly urban lyrics and an even milder musical punch.

I personally think watching this video is the cheesiest moment of my year thus far, yet I have watched it 17 times a day since I was Skyped the link. Damn that Lamé!

Batteries have taken a hold of my life….

....and music has been on the back burner. For those of you who do not know, I was hired by a superfresh company called, Exide Technologies. It is an amazing corporation with a fantastic recycling policy and an equally great product.

Working harder than I did in law school (Yes, it is possible.), I haven't been soaking in music with my harmony-sponge, and the only source of music stimulus I have been getting is the 90 songs loaded into my cellphone that I listen to on the way to and from work. I would listen to music in my car, but as some of you know my radio was knifed out and stolen by 16 year olds while I was living in Miami.

So in a sense, this post is a half-apology-half-excuse for not putting in the time that this site and our readers deserve. By no means does this mean that the site is on the off-switch. We will still develop great posts describing the best music that we have been recently listening to.

Soon, expect posts about the future of Matt Mahaffey of sElf, who exactly Inner is and why the song 'myphilosophy' is loaded with sex and the feeling of laying on a cold kitchen floor.

In the mean time, enjoy some of our favorite YouTubers covering some of our favorite songs:

This last song couldn't have a worse sounding drumset. Note the broken ride cymbal and snare drum without a snare chain. I still love the rawness in the video. This guy truly loves the song, and that is what music is about.
