Electronic Renaissance

YouTube has gone bananas with this whole live feed thing. Broadcasting live from San Francisco this past Saturday is just the beginning of the newest electronic movement. I mean who watches TV on a television anymore? People stuck in the twentieth century apparently!

Belle & Sebastian - Electronic Renaissance [Protected]

So Katy Perry performed, Akon, stupid as ever Soulja Boy, and a bunch of other people I don't care too much about. But one bright spot was the always adorable Julia Nunes, who first become famous with a series of YouTube videos of her covering awesome songs with her ukulele. Yes UKUELE. How badass is that? They should call it U-cool-ele. Yeah, I really went there...

If you haven't seen her awesomeness yet, scoot on over to YT and check out some more videos. Then listen to a few shwanky covers here, and after you promptly fall head over heels, hit up iTunes for her first original album (her latest release has yet to make it on the music service).

Muggles Gettin' Mad Cause I Got Me a Firebolt

Finally, a version of this song that doesn't make me want to gouge myself in the eardrum after 30 seconds. Unless you're living in a cave or Wentworth Miller's closet, you've probably become painfully familiar with Soulja Boy's "Crank That." It remains one of the top downloaded songs on iTunes, probably because of its progressive feminist views and its appreciation of the English language. I think the lyrical gem "supersoak that hoe" is my personally favorite. Here is a vid I found surfing YouTube. And yes I downloaded the complimentary mp3; its that ridiculous.

Harry Potter Crank That


Heres the amazing, yet still misogynistic HP Lyrics

Ahhh...
Harry Potter in that hoe
Watch me flying, watch me go
Watch me fight that Voldemort
Then stupefy that hoe

Harry Potter in this hoe
Dropping peeps down to the floor
Stupefy that hoe
Yeah, watch me crank that Dumbledore
Magical,
Now watch me curse
Cursin on them villains man
When I do that Crutcio I flick my wand and crank that thing
Now you...

I'm hexing on your witch ass
And when we get to doing I'll be jinxing on your witch ass
Catch me at your local Hogs Head,
On my head a lightning bolt
Muggles getting mad 'cause I got me a Firebolt
