TUESDAY MIX: john mayer & katy perry - who you love

john mayer & katy perry - who you love

though the song is overly twee and kind of goes nowhere, the visual sentiment between real life couples on a mechanical bull is cute enough for me to watch the whole video til the end (director sophie muller does it again).

WEEKEND SOUNDTRACK: john mayer - paper doll (lyric video)

john mayer - paper doll (lyric video)
allegedly it's about t-swift (the 22 girls with no direction line is pretty obvious), but whoever it's about, the song is a gentle ode to a lost girl of the world. we shall see if there will be a rebuttal with a female voice eventually.

POP BOY: conor maynard - can't say no

conor maynard - can't say no
[houston, we definitely have a problem! this UK kid is going to do some serious rounds on the screaming girls front (heck, his fans already call themselves mayniacs). and like the bieber, conor made his viral name via posting covers on youtube. the kid is talented and the fact that his debut single has some serious neck bouncin grooves shows me that there's some interesting releases in the horizon. like!]

wongie live: grammy 2008 highlights

if you missed sunday's award ceremony, here are a few of the highlights from that evening (thanks to alis blog for the vids!):

beyonce and tina turner - intro / what's love got to do with it
[what a massively flambouyant introduction to the divas of music! it's a tad letdown when it all boils down to...tina turner.]


kanye west and daft punk - stronger
kanye west - dedication to mother
[two wonderful performances, one with added grooves thanks to daft punk, and the other a moving tribute to kanye's recently deceased mother]

amy winehouse - you know i'm no good / rehab
[a bizarre mix of upfrontery and total fear, this was one of the most raw performances of amy's i've ever seen. can't say i loved it, but when she hits those notes, i am all hers.]


alicia keys and john mayer - no one
[this was THE performance of the evening. with an arrangement that far outshines the original, this will easily go down in grammy history as one of it's best!]
