Memoirs of Mediocrity: listen to Mariah's new album (video)

So after weeks and weeks of promo, tepid response, and bad Foreigner covers, we finally get a glimpse of the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. It is.....less than perfect. None of it is particularly bad, mind you, we just wish Mariah would push herself just a little bit. Just once. For us.

You can also listen to the album in its entirety ahead of its release over at Mimi's Myspace

It's Scopitone Saturday!!

And this week's entry is a doozy. It pretty much speaks for itself (The Greenwood County Singers are singers from Greenwood County, etc) so we'll just let you enjoy.

A-ha's new song is very very good

The second single from their new album 'Foot of the Mountain,' called 'Nothing is Keeping You Here' is out this week in the UK and everyone should buy it. It's a Keane-y ethereal pop/rock affair with synth stabs and smooth vocals and everything about it gets better with each listen.



*listens again*

Ke$ha's 'Tik Tok' video

So new pop 'sensation' has her first video out. Well, her first not counting a random appearance in Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' clip for no reason. The song is still pretty good and any video in which the star walks around in one cowboy boot for a full 33 seconds is alright by us...

Miley Cyrus' 'Party In The USA' video premiere

So finally there is a real video for Miley's 'Party In The USA,' now that everyone stopped caring. We can't get the song out of our heads, but the video is pretty forgettable. Maybe she should have gotten some gays to do one for her out on Fire Island.....



It's not bad, really, and she looks absolutely great. Also we love the ending bit with the American Flag backdrop. And the middle part. And most of the video, really, but we just can't get past the fact that it's not "Party in the Fire Island Pines." :(

Alesha Dixon's new song is amazing and you must listen to it now

So it turns out Alesha might ACTUALLY be the British Beyonce, as Bruce Forsyth prophetically stated last year. ScopiSat always knew she was something special (hello, 'Knockdown?!'), and sure she had some killer singles (hi, 'The Boy Does Nothing' and 'Breathe Slow') but the album was a bit hit and miss. Well, having proven her chops with a couple bona fide chart smashes and some balls-out-phenomenal live performances, Alesha has moved up to superstar land. See exhibit A, Ms. Dixon's new single penned by none other than Gary Barlow. Not a bad get, eh? And as it turns out, the song isn't too shabby either. It is a perfect showcase for Alesha's voice and just the thing she needs to push her to the next level. With some A-list production and songwriting on her next album, get ready for the Alesha Show to go on a very, very long time.



Alesha will release 'To Love Again' on November 15, with her album repackage/rerelease The Alesha Show: The Encore to follow later that month. Buy both. She deserves it.

Jesse McCartney has 'Body Language' in new video

That is all.

Update: never mind, it's quite good

Update 2: no we were right the first time

Update 3: We are listening to 'Leavin' right now. It is very good.

The Editors' new video runs wild

We chose that headline because there is a lot of 'running' in the video. In all honesty not a lot of thought went into it but we got a late start so don't judge. The song is pretty much a pop/electro masterpiece though, and definitely deserves a listen or three. Gone are the gloomy moody guitars, replaced now with synths and driving beats. It's sure to alienate some of their fan base, which is a shame because there are SO FEW moody guitar bands to choose from out there :(




No date for the single yet, but the album is out Oct 12
