I may be the only person on Twitter who even knows who MSM (Miami Sound Machine; the revival girl group put together my Emilio Estefan) is. But I loved me some them way back in 2001. This was their debut (only?) single, released by Sony Music, “I’m The Only One”.

They went on to have pretty good success in Spain as a primarily Spanish girl group. I had to hit up eBay to find a copy of the album that should have been released in the states. From that set, 5 songs still reside on my iPod.

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for cheesy girl groups and boy bands that sing generic pop (this was during the famed Latin explosion), so it’s easy to see why I gravitated towards MSM. Check them out!

Red Carpet Reminders: 2011 Billboard Awards Edition

At first I wasn’t feeling Rihanna’s Billboard Awards look, but that was until I got a good look at it. LOVE IT! It’s absolutely something I would wear. Classic, fresh, summery, and just all around fab! And with the siren red hair? Girrrlllll, you better work!

But, in looking at Riri’s Max Azria suit, I was reminded of someone else’s white-hot pant suit: Jessica Simpson, in Armani, at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

Now, I like Ri’s look much better, but as was the case with Jessica, it was a major departure from both of their regular red carpet looks. Their hair style was even the same! It’s nice to see stars switch it up on the red carpet. I applaud Ms. Fenty for her move. She’s fearless!

If you grew up through the 80s/90s, or just have good taste and love you some New Jack Swing, then you know allllll about Bell Biv DeVoe! They performed “Poison” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon today, as well as “Do Me” (which wasn’t televised). Tomorrow, BBD will stop by Jimmy Kimmel for another performance! < Bart Scott voice > CAN’T WAIT! < / Bart Scott voice >

NOTE: I have the interview as well, but my FTP program keeps crapping out in the middle of that transfer. I’ll add it later, I promise! Also, you might have to turn your speakers up a little. BET comes in very quiet on my TV for some strange reason.

ETA: Just got the interview up!

Throwback: Sky – Love Song

When I was in college — yes, I’m aging myself here — I was obsessed with watching The Box. For those of you unfamiliar, The Box was an awesome cable network that played absolutely NOTHING BUT MUSIC VIDEOS. It was on basic cable, so it’s leaps and bounds better than MTV Hits. MTV bought The Box, turned it into what is now MTV2, but stripped it of all its personality and awesomeness. Simply put, it was bad ass! It also showed video of up-and-coming, underground, and alternative artists and groups; something you wouldn’t see on places like MTV and VH1 back in the day. You could call in, at any time of the day, and request videos. I used to record music videos onto VHS tapes from The Box. It’s too bad I can’t find those tapes now. Probably quite a few gems on there!

It was while watching “The Box” that I found Sky, a duo from Canada. Sky created a pop/rock/R&B fusion type sound that I fell in love with. “Love Song” was the first song of theirs I heard and it led me to buy their album, Piece of Paradise, which I still enjoy to this day.
