So here I am waiting for the clock to strike, well, 9:30 pm — which is when that lovely Dial 7 town car will arrive to pick up my brother and bring him to the airport. Ok fine, to pick US up and bring US to the airport, because I’m a good sister and I do that sort of thing. And then we’ll hug goodbye and I’ll get all choked up because even if he can be such a jerk sometimes (fine, most of the time), and is too emo (although he denies it) for my taste, I love him to death. And then because my broke-ass self can’t afford to take another cab back to the city, I’m going to take the $5 AirTrain (still too expensive for me) and then take the A train back home from Queens to my lovely (yet increasingly disheveled) Manhattan apartment. Oh yes, and I’m using my dad’s credit card to pay for the town car.
So that totally wasn’t the point of this entry. I was wandering through the wonderful maze that is the Interwebs when I came across this (thanks to the greatness that is Doobybrain): the most awesome music mash-up ever. Pop songs. 25 of them. And as much as I love non-mainstream music (or those once indie gone mainstream, whatever), I LOVE POP. Like, I love pop with a passion. (Yes, you will soon notice my very liberal use of the word “like”). I can listen to the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls and Hanson and the Moffatts for the rest of my life.
Ok, again, not the point. So here it is: DJ Earworm has managed to capture the musical awesomeness that was 2008 in 4:38 minutes:
How mad cool/awesome/tight/clutch is that?
