No theme to this GMM, besides awesomeness.

Some of you may have noticed our interview with Tokyo Police Club posted here yesterday. We asked them a question about their favorite guilty pleasure, and after much (read: no) disagreement they settled on Fergalicious. They proceeded to sing to perfection this song, while barely (read: totally not) feeling ashamed. We on the other hand would be very embarrassed to belt out the lyrics. I guess that is why we review music and don’t play it.

Fergie- Fergalicious

We are not emo or depressed, but we really do love My Chemical Romance videos. Most of them are very creative, but one stands out. “Ghost Of You” takes place on a dance floor that turns into a war zone. Don’t even try to think about it, just watch.

Come on, does this one really need an explanation?

Coolio- Gangsta’s Paradise

Flobots are really guilty. They talk about bikes in this song. We hipsters love bikes, some of us admit our love some don’t. This one is for all the closet hipster bikers who are afraid to show their real bike love.

(Gzabriel clarification edit: The song is not about bikes. It’s a metaphor. It’s about power and losing control. That is all.)
