Lady Antebellum has a new video for their song Just A Kiss. It follows a young couple who meet while travelling and embark on their travels together. Aw! But then it's time to part ways...but...
WARNING: SPOILER PENDING. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW THE VIDEO ENDS STOP READING NOW...
...they don't. The boy surprises the girl by joining her on her train and they share a sweet kiss and anyone who has ever met someone while traveling is thinking, "I knows how this ends and it's not happily. If, indeed, as the clip implies, they live in different locations, that whole long distance thing is going to tear at them eventually, and if one decides to move to be close to the other, they're totally going to wind up in some tiny, dark studio apartment, getting in each other's hair, while one works to support both of them because the other can't get a job and starts feeling resentful because the lazy jerk can't even change the freakin' litter box. They're going to fight and one will wind up cheating and they'll break up and HATE each other and the one who moved will be all 'I gave up my life back him for THIS?' Don't do it guys!!!"
It doesn't actually end there, though. See for yourself.
Coldplay has always been one of those bands that I've been ashamed of liking...mostly because when they first came out I was all like, "They just want to be U2, everybody likes them, blah blah blah."
Anyway, they usually end up making really good albums and I don't have time to be a music snob anymore. Plus, I met Chris Martin once at an interview I produced for eTalk, and he was so down-to-earth and very funny. We all left with crushes.
Rock lineups don’t come much better than the one just confirmed for the Hamilton-area Festival of Friends summer blowout. The free admission ain’t bad, either.
City And Colour, the Tea Party, the Sheepdogs, the Reason, former Yes frontman Jon Anderson, '70s rockers America, Canadian classic rock bands Helix and Saga, The Nylons (?) Suzie McNeil and folkies Lunch at Allens will perform at this year's three-day event happening August 5 to 7 at the Ancaster Fairgrounds.
If I could, I would present this differently. But I couldn't find a version of Liam Lynch's song that didn't bear the title "Fake Bjork Song." If I could, I'd have asked you to guess which of these tracks was the actual new Bjork song and which was the phony one. As it stands, you can tell by looking.
Billboard says Crystalline is the first single from Björk's forthcoming seventh studio album, Biophilia. It leaked online on Saturday (June 25), before its official release later this week.
I'll admit I didn't LOVE the book The Hunger Games -- though I did enjoy it enough to recommend it to a heavily pregnant friend looking for some page-turning reading -- but the movie is looking awesome. Not only does it feature Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz and Elizabeth Banks (and some girl named Jennifer Lawrence, about whom I know little, in the lead role), The Hollywood reporter has just broken the news that it will be scored by T. Bone Burnett and Danny Elfman. What? Yes! It'll be like A Nightmare Before Christmas meets Crazy Heart.
THR says, "The highly anticipated film The Hunger Games, based on the first title of Suzanne Collins’s bestselling book trilogy, has locked in two giants from the music world to handle score and song production.
Welcome to Hot Topic, in which we, the brilliant writers of Eat This!, weigh in on a pop culture question of the week, and invite you to share your thoughts on the subject.
Last week, Rolling Stone re-ran its 100 Best Songs of the Aughts, originally published in 2009. We couldn’t help but notice how Gnarls Barkley came in first place, long before Cee Lo became the suddenly hugely famous pop/TV star he is today. Insightful. But is Crazy really the greatest song of the last decade? What say you? See the list below, check out what we think, then vote in the poll and let us know what YOU think in the comments.
Rolling Stones 10 greatest songs of the aughts:
1. Crazy, Gnarls Barkley
2. 99 Problems, Jay-Z
3. Crazy in Love, Beyonce
4. Hey Ya, Outkast
5. Paper Planes, M.I.A.
6. Seven Nation Army, The White Stripes
7. Maps, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
8. Rehab, Amy Winehouse
9. Beautiful Day, U2
10. Stan, Eminem
Drake drunk dials an ex in the new video for his track Marvin's Room, in which we see him pouring it back around downtown Toronto (shout OUT!). Oh, the blathering late night phone calls. We've all been there. I mean, not ME, but everyone else...*ahem*.
The song itself sounds a bit like Karaoke, off Thank Me Later.
The clip comes on the heels of Drake taking his label, Universal, to task on Twitter (so, you know he's serious), for removing the track, and another titled Trust Issues, from his personal blog.
“Universal needs to stop taking my f***ing songs down,” Drake tweeted on June 23. “I am doing this for the people not for your label.”

Chicago punk band Rise Against has released the video for Make it Stop (September’s Children) in collaboration with the It Gets Better Project. The track is from the album Endgame, which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.
The video addresses teen bullying - particularly of LGBT kids, just in time for Toronto Pride Week - following three bullied teens as they contemplate ending it all, before ultimately realizing that they have something to live for.
Lead-singer Tim McIlrath says the subject of teen bullying hasn’t been adequately addressed in the rock scene. "A number of events were the catalyst for the creation of Make It Stop, everything from the suicides in September 2010, to our own fans voicing their fears and insecurities from time to time,” says McIlrath.
"Tim McIlrath has written a powerful song," It Gets Better Project co-founder Dan Savage said. "With the release of Make It Stop and the accompanying video, Rise Against is sending the message to its fan base that the bullying and harassment of LGBT teens needs to stop and that suicide isn't a solution."

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber have released a Behind the Scenes clip for the video for their hit track Next to You.
No, it doesn't explain what is going on in the video, which I admit has me scratching my head. Does Shannon Elizabeth's character die? Does Chris Brown die? Why are they busting moves in the middle of the apocalypse when they should be running screaming? What caused the apocalypse anyhow (the making of says it might be aliens...but I'm not sure this is ever decisively answered)? Why is The Bieb's girl's dad SO INTENT on her never seeing him again? What's going ON???
It does show them putting together sets and exploding cars, though!
Seriously, if, after watching the video you have any insight into my questions, please explain them in the comments. Your help would be much appreciated.
Also, if you're wondering, as I was, if Chris Brown hurt his neck and is wearing a brace in the above picture, taken at Sunday's BET Awards, the answer, apparently, is not. It's a fashion thing. So, no need to worry.
Let’s hope he got a good night’s sleep and began his day with a nutritious breakfast ‘cause he’s going to need it.
Former Skid Row screamer (and pride of Peterborough, ON) Sebastian Bach is set to film two – count ‘em, 2 - new video videos today in L.A. with director Devin DeHaven whose highly versatile dossier includes clips with Papa Roach, Whitesnake, Method Man and Talib Kweli.
