Concert Notice: Homo hip-hopper Cazwell will bring his ‘Ice Cream Truck’ to S4 on Sept. 30

Caven has just announced that the “Ice Cream Truck” is heading to Station 4 next month. And by that, I mean hip-pop homo hottie Cazwell is coming to town. The last time we saw Cazwell in town was at the now-defunct minc in Exposition Park. The rapper-singer’s hit is big on the dance floor which I’m sure has NOTHING to do with the above video.

He was first touted as the gay Eminem, but instead I think he’s in his own league layering outrageous raps over dance music. He’s more fun than Eminem with other songs like “I Seen Beyonce at Burger King” and “All Over Your Face” from his 2009 album Watch My Mouth.

He performs an 18-and-up show at S4 on Sept. 30 at midnight. After his performance, he’s gonna stick around for a Meet and Greet. Maybe he’ll have a Bomb Pop just for you.

"Telephone" — The Afghanistan remake

Found this online and just had to share.

It’s a remake of Lady Gaga’s and Beyonce’s “Telephone” video. Well, looks more like a re-interpretation than remake. But either way, it’s a blast.

Lady Gaga's new video is epic, just not great

I hadn’t heard this much buzz about a music video since Michael Jackson was releasing his mini-movies back in his Bad and Dangerous days. But the Web was abuzz with pics and gossip about Lady Gaga’s premiere of her latest video, “Telephone.” Coming off a fairly brilliant video for “Bad Romance” and the featured role of Beyonce in this song, anticipation seemed to be off the charts for her newest. I kept hearing stuff like “Paparazzi sequel,” “Tarantino-esque” and yes, “epic.”

Buuuuut, after watching it’s premiere on E! last night, I wasn’t that overwhelmed. I can appreciate the efforts behind the nine-minute vid, but by the end, I just had a big question mark over my head. It’s fun in its homage to women’s prison movies and Kill Bill. The subtextual love affair between Gaga and Beyonce is somewhat priceless, but if she wants to make a tiny movie, nine minutes isn’t enough for a choppy narrative and disjointed music delivery. I think I’d be more interested to watch it’s edited down version just to hear the song.

I think Gaga missed the mark in matching her great club song to the video’s intentions — whatever they were.

Beyonce has 'Fever' and it's not good

Beyonce’s career has suffered from very few missteps, if any, but this new recording may be a big one. I just listened to her cover of Peggy Lee’s classic “Fever” released today. Although, I haven’t heard  if this is a single for a new album or just a random single to keep her in the spotlight.

Can’t say I’m buying this all that much. Her deep voice is a bit forced and because of that, she loses the right sex appeal needed for the song. It’s a miss and a mess. You can listen to a snippet of it here.

Grammys Live Blog: Swift wins big and Beyonce waves her hair

Best Country Album: Taylor Swift clutches her pearls and slackjaws for her award.  Great dress though.

Is Simon Baker wearing Avatar 3-D glasses?

Beyonce’s crotch grab made me a little uncomfortable. But digging the “Rhythm Nation” back-up dancers although why exactly were they there?
