We just like to party and party tonight! Who doesn’t? If you haven’t heard the single Party Shaker by R.I.O featuring Nicco beating it’s way across Europe and the beaches of the world this summer, download it and check it out! We love this song and blast it every day, even while driving to work, just to get ready for when we’re off and we can go back to enjoying summer.  Put on your bikini and grease up your body…because Party Shaker is definitely a contender for our definitive Summer Anthem of 2012!

What the hell is going on in Brazil??? They are putting out so many great artists we can hardly keep up! First it was Michel Telo…then Gusttavo Lima and now Joao Lucas E Marcelo! Although this song has been out for awhile, it’s now #2 on Brazil’s Top 20 charts and floating all around Europe.  We’re obsessed with Brazilian music this summer and Brazil in general! VIVA BRAZIL!

Brazil is taking over the music industry…period! First Michel Telo took the world’s mainstage with his overwhelming hit Ai Se Eu Te Pego! and now 22 year old Gusttavo Lima is taking over the European Dance charts with his single Balada! We just can’t get enough of this song! Hopefully Michel and Gusttavo will team up for a US tour?!!

We are absolutely obsessed with Lana Del Rey.  We love her voice, her music and her style.  Earlier this week she released the official video for her single National Anthem.  Channeling Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe she portrays vintage love eternal in sepia toned sensuality.  God Bless America, God Bless John F. Kennedy…and God Bless Lana Del Rey!

International DJ Steve Aoki is no stranger to the craziness of the music industry, so when his rider was publicly published he tackled the attention the best way possible – with a public response and the release of a new music video.

The DJ explains most of his requests, which most celebrities don’t, on his blog – which includes an actual picture of the rider.  Steve Aoki, being an expert at mixing things, moved forward by releasing a brand new music video.  PR mover or not, you have to hand it to the man…he knows how to make his fans happy and keep the press hungry.

The official video to his brand new single “Control Freak” came out last Thursday showcasing a retro VHS Soul Train party theme – with cameos from Holly Madison, Samm Levine and Steve Aoki himself. These beats join our list of Summer Anthems and dance party tracks! Check the video out and if you like what you hear/see – get ready because a remix package drops today!

Maybe the United States isn’t ready for the K-Pop(Korean Pop) craze, but we are addicted! These girls are absolutely adorable as they dance their asses off in the most unbelievable outfits.  Ok, Ok…the music is a little cheesy, but in a world of economic crisis and downward spirals, we need to have a little bit more fun and these girls bring it! With bands like Girls’ Generation, 2ne1 and f(x), the world is being transfixed into a cotton candy, Alice in Wonder-land of dance-pop craziness! And we love it!

This week f(x) release the video for their single Electric Shock and it has already gone viral amassing over 10 million views.  Check out the video below and let us know what you think.  And can someone please let us know the name of their hair stylist? Their color is sick!

The director of “Fjogur Piano” by Sigur Ros may be one of the true geniuses of our time.  By exposing the penis of a major, male celebrity, this beautifully, simple song, will be heard by millions.  It is a genius move because the nudity is completely required for the effectiveness of the video, not just a sly way to gain views.

We think its about time some of these hot, male actors start showing their stuff.  If women are required to bare all for the sake of artistic expression and directorial interpretation, why shouldn’t men?  Needless to say, we were extremely impressed that Shia LaBeouf broke down his personal barriers for artistic expression, by baring it all in the new music video for “Fjogur Piano” by Sigur Ros.

In reviewing the video, we thought it was very cool if not even sardonically masochistic and emotionally moving.  At times it was difficult to follow due to the dreamstate unconscious sensuality it portrays. What is the video about? We’re not really sure. But we loved the fine line it painted between obsessive love and great sadness, almost like 9 minutes stolen from the soundtrack of Requiem for a Dream immersed in Icelandic winter purity.

Although Shia LaBeouf’s impression didn’t impress(as most viewers have commented on the size of his penis)his artistic emotions were flawless and we hope people can look past the size of his penis long enough to enjoy the video.  We did…enough to buy the song! Its actually…quite beautiful…Check it out below! (Video NSFW)

Its only June and already this summer has been filled absolutely unbelievable music! At the beginning of the summer we said we were going to post a new “summer anthem” every week until we had decided our pick of the very best.

Adding to the mix is Calvin Harris’ Let’s Go featuring Ne-Yo.  Already #4 on the European Club Charts, this mix is thumping through the clubs both internationally and stateside.  We’re not sure if it will make it as the summer anthem…but it’s definitely a contender! Check it out!

To the Class of 2012…WARNING! You never think you’ll grow old.  Not really.  But you do! You think you’ll be with your friends forever, driving around, singing, dancing, laughing.  But then one day you wake up and notice that small lines are growing around your eyes.  You haven’t talked to that best friend in months and you need to call and catch up.  But you have to make some business calls and pick up dinner so that call will have to wait.  And wait.  And wait.  And then you wake up and realize, somehow, a lot of years have gone by and its time for a reunion.  Life just happens…

We’ve changed all that in our lives.  Every day we live our lives like we’re 18 again, making sure we stay in the moment, dancing, singing, laughing and enjoying life like its our last day.  Our advice…show up for the audition.  Anything you want in your life you can have.  Anything you want to achieve, you can make it happen.  YOU are the one who dictates the outcome of your life.  YOU are the one that will either come back to your high school reunion as a manager of McDonalds or a movie star.  It’s your choice.  Show up for the audition of life!

When the song, Everybody’s Free(To Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Lurhmann, came out in 1999, we were way too young to appreciate the honesty of the words, but 13 years later, we know them to be true.  Listen carefully and walk on with pride in your step and dreams in your heart.  Congratulations!
