nightcourt.jpgDo you believe in: a) the sheer animal magnetism of John Larroquette in a three-piece suit, b) situation comedy, c) the power of a tribute video to make you feel complete, d) love? If you answered “all of the above,” join me after the jump.

Huey Lewis Soars To New Heights

huey_l19.jpgWell, Huey Lewis’ title-track contribution to the Seth Rogen/James Franco stoner comedy Pineapple Express has made its way to the Internet, and like much of the output from that arm of Hollywood, the good idea at its core (“hey, let’s have Huey Lewis write a sequel to ‘The Power Of Love’ with pot jokes!”) gets stretched out and beaten so thin that even the memories of liking its early bits go up in smoke. Pros: Like all Huey/News tracks, it does have the requisite sax solo; Lewis still sounds like Lewis. Cons: The saxophone solo and the smoking-up solo probably weren’t both necessary; the song on a whole sounds somewhat wan, almost as if it’s been beaten down by studio notes dictating what lyrical jokes should be punched up and the exact length of the whole “smoke it if you got it” bit. It’s streaming at the soundtrack distributor’s MySpace page. (Warning: Click quickly after the song’s finished, or you might be subjected to Mike Myers singing Steve Miller.) After the jump, a clip of the song that Rogen and Franco should have probably used in the first place.

bab0392.jpgI have little to no idea what “skunk rock” or “grebo” are, but I like the The Guardian‘s query about musical genres that need to be resurrected. After the jump, a list of some forgotten styles I think the young folk of today would be wise to embrace–sounds and aesthetics that could bring this country back from the brink.

Today’s semi-amazing factoid that may be true, via Popbitch: “Huey Lewis’s grandfather invented the red wax sealant you find on certain cheeses.” First person to make the “cheesy music” joke in comments gets banned! More »



With A Little Help From Above, I May Be Able To Get This Song Out Of My Head

For the past five hours, a piece of music has been lodged in my brain so firmly that nothing I listen to–not even the theme to Hawaii Five-O, which is the ultimate music-eraser–has managed to stop it from looping in my head. And since it’s Friday and I, too, am all about spreading the love, I present its video–the extended movie tie-in version, even!–to you in the hopes that you will not only share in my pain, you’ll help me find something that will knock it out of my mind. It can even be a worse song! Just please, send help fast.
