The Morning Mix: Bieber And Friends Ring In The Olympics
Good morning! The 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver kick off tonight, and the opening ceremony will include the star-studded re-recording of “We Are The World.” Sure, the opening ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing had 2,000 musicians performing a precisely timed routine on LED-equipped drums… but this one has Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Try and beat that in 2012, London!
Did You Hear?
:: Stussy has produced a three-part documentary about the late great beatmaker J Dilla, and just posted Part One as a prelude to this weekend’s “Dilla Day”. [Nah Right]
:: The resemblance between Lady Gaga at the VMAs and Wilson the Volleyball from Cast Away is just uncanny. [Blame It On The Voices]
:: Not-so-secret disses directed at Jay-Z. We’re guessing none of these rappers plan to watch him headline Coachella or Bonnaroo. [Complex]
:: Spinner counts down its Top 10 Lovestruck and Top 10 Love Sucks music videos, just in time to suit all your Valentine’s Day neuroses. [Spinner]
:: MTV wonders, is Kanye West’s The College Dropout the best debut album of all time? Uh, obviously they haven’t heard of a little album called My World by Justin Bieber. [MTV]
After the jump: we take a look at the late Alexander McQueen’s eye for style in music videos.
Have a great day!
