On this week's edition of WTF, it's only Wednesday?, I bring you...jailbait. Wait, I mean. Erm. Here's Justin Bieber's music video for his R&B/Pop single One Time. "WhoTF is Justin Bieber", you ask? Well, he's Usher's fifteen year old protege who's now signed to Island Def Jam and whose major label debut album, "My World", drops later this year.
It's funny how in elementary/middle school we all swooned over Justin Timberlake and his, in retrospect, terrifying bleach blonde curly tips, and still swooned over him even when his choice in fashion became quite questionable (how could you forget this denim ensemble?). And now, the new generation of pop star heartthrob is presumably Bieber, who looks like a cross between a watered down hype beast and Ryan Sheckler -- he has long hair and side swept bangs (covered oh-so-perfectly by his hooded zip-up or his fitted new era), rocks the raw denim, and sports a watch bigger than his face. Aside from his fresh-to-death appearance, though, this kid's really got a voice (we'll see what happens after he hits puberty) and some impressive talent (apparently he plays a couple of intsruments, guitar included). Now, I want you to think back to what you were doing when you were fifteen and then watch this video. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wasn't throwing fictional house parties at Ursher's house.
As for the mp3, this one's pretty old (really old -- hit its height in blogosphere buzz in 2007). But I, behind on the times, didn't hear about it until recently, and am hoping there are a few of you out there who haven't heard it either. It's Dopplebanger's "Pussylicker", which is a mix of M83 vs Aphex Twin vs Khia -- and yes, of course the Khia track is My Neck, My Back. Sometimes I feel awkward when I'm stopped at a red light and the end of this song is blasting out of my car. I even feel kind of awkward having to say "pussylicker" to myself in my head as I type this. In fact, I hope I don't get thrown in jail for putting a 15 year old and the word "pussylicker" on the same page. Even after all of this, though, I really have to share this track with you all. So, at the expense of my feeling slightly awkward and feeling the need to take a shower, here it is.
Happy Wednesday, amigos!
