In my research I found that the band “Lights” is actually the girl “Lights”. And she likes triceratops. This is her (via her MySpace):

So not only is she a great pop singer, she’s easy on the eyes. …

This song was used in a few JCPenney commercials throughout the Oscar broadcast. I immediately recognized the song—“Killing the Blues” by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss from their album “Raising Sand”. You can …

From the look of the video, Mr. West got a deal on the set (or digital composite) Linkin Park used for What I’ve Done and hired a crew, model, and wind machine to recreate …

Politically responsible hip hop? Yessir. I defy you to not like Mos Def.
So now I ask you, what’s beef? Bust a freestyle in the comments.

Music video for the song “D.A.N.C.E.” by Justice. Great disco vibe and a kicking bass line. I love the 80s style to the video and some really good effects. Someone needs to invent these t-shirts for real.
