As Iggy Azalea’s infectious track “Fancy” is shaping up to become this summer’s biggest hit, that means we can look forward to a slew of hilarious parodies on the web! One such particular parody belongs to our friends over at The Girls With Glasses.

Your 2014 Music Queens of the Summer
Today is the first official day of Summer, but in a lot of America, we’ve been feeling the heat for weeks already.
Album Review: Clipping.’s “CLPPNG”
Clipping. is an interesting group. First off, they spell their name with a period at the end, which I love. They merge gangster rap and noise music into a surprisingly compatible mix. In a world where Death Grips is making music with Bjork, and El-P and Killer Mike are in a rap group, and even […]
Album Review: Open Mike Eagle’s “Dark Comedy”
Open Mike Eagle is a professional Rap-Singer out of Los Angeles. He is a former Project Blowdian and a current member of The Hellfyre Club collective and Mellow Music Group. His most recent album is called Dark Comedy. I find it to be a very fitting title.
Certain Songs Get So Scratched Into Your Soul: An Intro to The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady is my favorite band. That said, they aren’t for everyone. Not one person in my life enjoys them, and my best friend tells me over and over that he “doesn’t get it.”
American Idol XIII: Top 2 – The Sleeper Vs The Rock Viking
In case you haven’t checked the polls from my previous article, it turns out that literally everyone who voted had already decided which team they were: Caleb or Jena, before even seeing the performances. Which is part of the reason I feel like the finale performance night doesn’t actually matter in the grand scheme of […]
Album Review: Phillip Phillips Shines Bright from “Behind The Light”
Phillip Phillips has just released his sophomore effort, Behind the Light. The album’s title is derived from a lyric in “Alive Again” (“I see myself again / Behind the light I flicker”), which speaks to the notion of re-discovering yourself from the shadows, or in Phillip’s case, allowing fans to uncover a side of his musical identity that hasn’t been revealed before.
Album Review: Coldplay Haunts with “Ghost Stories”
“The idea of “Ghost Stories”, for me, was ‘how do you let the things that happen to you in the past—your ghosts—how do you let them affect your present and your future?’ Because there was a time when I was feeling like they were going to drag me down and ruin my life, and the lives of those around me,” Chris Martin tells BBC Radio 1.
American Idol XIII: Top 3 Performance Show, Three’s a Crowd, Two’s a Finale…
It’s hard to believe that we’re already just a few days away from the big Idol finale. Season 13 has been a wild ride filled with inconsistent, but generally good performances and inconsistent, but general good judging and, well… inconsistent, but generally good results and all of those things held true during our Top 3 […]
American Idol XIII: Top 5 Choose Not To Stay Alive, Top 4 Are No More
The Top 5 show featured the contestants picking from a list of songs chosen by the twitter verse. Needless to say, I had high hopes because I figured the Idol audience could pick some really great songs that would push the contestants out of their boundaries. Let’s see if I was right…
American Idol XIII: Top 7 and Top 6 Performances – “Choose Wisely America”
After losing Malaya the week after the save was used, I didn’t know what to expect going into these next two weeks of performance. Would another frontrunner botch a performance and end up having their journey cut short or would the Idol audience finally banished the underperforming pair of CJ and Dexter? I like to […]
A Track-By-Track Review of Blake Lewis’s “Portrait of a Chameleon”
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been seven years since Idol’s sixth season aired. I say that with a great deal of fondness because Season 6, for me, was where I really took notice of the show. It was where the show transitioned from one of old-school singers to new-school artists and one […]
Postmodern Jukebox: Creating an Alternate Universe of Pop Music
“My goal with Postmodern Jukebox is to get my audience to think of songs not as rigid, ephemeral objects, but like malleable globs of silly putty,” says Scott Bradlee, explaining the band that he now leads. Postmodern Jukebox has hit on YouTube in a big way, with over 447,000 subscribers and millions of video views. The […]
