Band plays Triple J Hottest 100 in Half an Hour

Australian band Bareback Titty Squad performs the entire Triple J top 100 in just over thirty minutes (Triple J being an Aussie alternative radio network).

It’s not always pleasant to watch, between the sweat and the choice of wardrobe. But it’s jaw-dropping to see a band go from Lana Del Rey to Frank Ocean to M.I.A. to Mumford & Sons to Muse to Calvin Harris literally without missing a beat.

Watch for an amazing bonus backward version of Tame Impala’s “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” (number 9 ). And when they reach number one they turn “Thrift Shop” into a little dig at Macklemore as well as a clever promo for the band:

I’m gonna kick some ass/I’ve got a hundred songs in my pocket/Out of Melbourne City/And singing something witty/We’re the f**king Titties

It Takes a Village to Write a Lyric This Bad

Adding a layer of irony: that’s four male producers and five male writers plus Bey herself, the extent of whose “writing” role in this anthem of feminist empowerment may reasonably be questioned.

Surprise Guest at London School Assembly Will Smith Raps ‘Fresh Prince’ Theme

will smith(Reprinted from Paste Magazine)

It’s good to know even current school kids experience ’90s nostalgia.

Invited by Streatham Member of Parliament Chuka Umunna and culture secretary Tessa Jowell, Will Smith stopped by St. Martin-in-the-Fields High School located in South London, as E! News points out. Smith joined an assembly earlier today at the all-girls school and spoke about the importance of the people you surround yourself with. As a request from the screaming school girls, Smith also performed the theme song from his highly popular breakout endeavor The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air.

The video seems to come from a student who did not film Smith’s actual assembly speech but pulled out a phone to record Smith’s tale about moving from Philly to the high-class L.A. suburb.

U.K.‘s Telegraph provided this better quality video of Will’s message to the students.
