When culture pops, we wipe it up ...

Despite taking a bit of heat from music reviewers, the web is still in love with Lana Del Rey to the point where there are now more remixes of Lana’s song than there are funny pictures of cats who think they’re people (don’t ask me to back that up with numbers, I’ve got nothing). Anyway, Smims & Belle were commissioned to do a remix of her song, Blue Jeans, and the mix happens to feature the web’s favorite cunnilingus-loving rapper, Azealia Banks. And it’s SO DAMN AWESOME. Listen to it now!
And just like that, the Chris Brown situation gets impossibly worse. It turns out, Rihanna has either forgiven Chris for beating her to near death and then not learning anything from it, or she wants to win back Chris’ pro-woman beating audience, because the two are collaborating on remixes of each others’ songs, because it’s not like Chris still shows signs of a potential abuser and the cycle of abuse won’t repeat itself again. Because that would be completely logical. TMZ reports:
It’s only been 3 years since Brown pummeled Rihanna’s face during a late night argument in L.A. … but the singer and her ex-con ex-BF have each released songs featuring the other’s voice. One is a remix of Rihanna’s song, Birthday Cake and the other is a new version of Chris Brown’s, Turn Up the Music. Both songs hit the Internet this week … and both Rihanna and Brown have been pushing the songs on Twitter.
Yay! No one learned anything, domestic abuse is being enabled and encouraged, and abuse victims everywhere are basically being told that they’re allowed to speak out against the people abusing them until it stops being convenient for others. So basically, what I’ve learned in the past week is that men view women as baby making machines they can smack around when they don’t work they way their husbands and boyfriends want them to. Thanks, awful rich people!
Wow, Britney Spears is really gunning for the gays with her new album Femme Fatale, isn’t she? After releasing two back-to-back gay club hits (No, really, I went out a couple nights ago and they played nothing but Hold It Against Me and Till The World Ends for the entire night. Overkill much?) she’s now teaming up with Rihanna to remix RiRi’s S&M. Ironically, no practicing BDSM Dom or Sub I know would ever be caught dead listening to it, which is either really funny or really sad depending on how you interpret it. It’s not a bad song or anything, it’s just that … Well, it doesn’t mesh well in a dungeon. Peaches? Yes. Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Usually, but depends on the song. But BritBrit and Rihanna? Hell naw. Anyway, listen to it below and judge for yourself.
I was already loving Jennifer Hudson‘s new soaring single Where You At (along with her looking super fabulous in the music video) but this Dave Audé remix makes me seriously want to put my hands up! Have a listen below, and make sure to check out Jennifer’s upcoming album, I Remember Me, releasing later this month on March 22nd!
