why: have a new album coming out March 23rd titled 'To Bed to Battle' that you should definitely be anticipating - but as an appetizer they've offered up this video for "You Stay. I Go. No Following".

Watch Out - Rx Bandits

LMAO - Batman
who: I'm not really sure...
why: but I think part of this appeared on Tosh.0 and it was forwarded to me by my friend Ray (check out his blog HERE) the other day and I just about died laughing.
WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC! - Greg Holden
who: Greg Holden

Boycottage - Green Day
who: Green Day
why: because I would have rather watched Jennifer Lopez fail at reading. The only reason I'm posting this is because it was actually entertaining to watch UNTIL Green Day got on the stage. Rock album of the year? Shut the fuck up.
Oh and in case you didn't already hate this song... it's a complete ripoff. They titled their album 'American Idiot' after the dumbasses they got to waste their money on it.
WE'LL DO IT LIVE! - Kevin Devine
who: Kevin Devine
why: because I loved when I first heard this song... and then I got excited to read a post saying he performed it live... but then I actually watched it... is this just a little bit too mellow for anyone but me?

who: Hellogoodbye
