A Party Affiliation That Pretty Much Anyone Can Get Behind


I went to PS 112 in Astoria to vote this morning, and while the school's lobby was bake-sale-free, casting my ballot and walking to the subway put me in a good mood. The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the promise of not being bombarded with election-related speculation was close on the horizon, at least until some idiot commentator utters the word "2012" while scrambling to fill space on whatever cable-news channel has given him airtime. Which is probably why I had Andrew WK's "Party Hard" in my head: Sure, it was barely after nine in the morning and I was on my way back to work, instead of heading out for the evening, but my heart felt right—like it was enjoying some wine, canapes, and total fucking raging. And isn't that what matters? A counterpoint party song, and a rundown of some notable stories that got lost in the Election Day shuffle, after the jump. More »

Ne-Yo Is An Interoffice Male


The video for Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" brings us to an office where women are in charge, dress codes are relaxed enough for some workers to flaunt their backless outfits next to the watercooler, and well-dressed male employees have nothing better to do than sit around and dream about the power ladies surrounding them all day. While this clip was certainly nice to look at (and the song is sumptuously great), I'm looking forward to the sequel, in which all the employees are forced to sit through what may be the awkwardest—yet most well-soundtracked, no doubt—sexual-harassment seminar of all time.

Latest by quadrophenia718: I love how each of Ne-Yo's videos for "Year of the Gentleman" are turning out to be xx decade meets 2008. Here, of course, the cinematography is very 1980s power office mode with better hair and no shoulder pads. I more »

Timbaland Masterminds The World's "Sexiest" Bank Robbery (Or Something)


The latest single to emerge from Timbaland's Shock Value is "Scream," a Nicole Scherzinger/Keri Hilson track filled with bad sex metaphors (cake! pie! designated driving!) that Interscope, no doubt, has released in large part because the label's suits still holding on to hope that someone will eventually give a damn about the lead Pussycat Doll's singing/orgasmic moaning abilities.

Latest by Maura Johnston: Anyway, more to come on Monday, but the winner was, as raihala predicted, Timbaland! And the losers were all of us, who had to listen as he trotted out his five-year-old son and gabbed endlessly about his credits. more »

Keri Hilson's Album Could Be On Shelves Before Curtis

Although Timbaland jacks the "yeah"s from "Sexyback" and the synth line from "My Love" for his grammatically atrocious "The Way I Are," Atlanta-born singer Keri Hilson is the main reason the song is getting more play than his Hives dive—and she's helping mask the overall stink of Shock Value to boot.
