He hates catchy choruses and is a hypocrite. He has over 66 million YouTube views and they all take place at his home. He's releasing his second album and is only 20. He's Bo yo, and he's the greatest rapper ever. Bo Burnham has been offending people them making them laugh hysterically since 1990, making multiple literary, historical, and pop culture references along the way. He released his first full length album almost two years ago that was stuffed to the brim with offensive jokes and this fall Bo plans to shock the world again with a new album. Words Words Words is released October 19th and has already released the title tracks music video, shown below. Another interesting thing about this album is the photo pictured above. The album cover is a transcript of the entire album, the words are bigger if they're said more often on the album. So technically, the lyrics for the entire album are all there, you just need to put them together. Bo will also be going on a small tour this fall, sadly no where near the tri-state area. If you are in the area though you should go see Bo fo' sho. 

Versaemerge will be going on their fitst headlining tour starting in late October. The final show will be in Maryland so you know we'll be there.

Great Big Planes in Hershey PA

Last night were the 2010 MTV VMA's hosted by the always hilarious Chelsea Handler. Being the first female host in 16 years Chelsea handled herself well especially with her opening skit featuring Lindsay Lohan as well as her monologue. The rest of the night….was a bit underwhelming. Bieber lip-synced, who apparently gets his poor skills from Usher, and Gaga dominated the night, not letting any of the other artists stand a change. The Monster's multiple outfits features a dress made out of meat, resembling her Vogue cover and the reference to a raw meat bikini in a Key of Awesome parody of Bad Romance. If you haven't seen it yet, it made Ke$ha's trash bag dress look like Chanel. Eminem  was one of the big male winners of the night, but after his performance he jetted on a flight to NYC. If you're the most nominated male artist of the night, you'd think he'd stick around.

Gaga won 8 out of her 13 nominations which after the third award became very tedious. In most cases when there are multiple winners, they will do a montage and announce everything the artist won at once. Why they didn't do this last night I'll never know, it got old very quickly.

Of course there was tremendous hype surrounding Kanye West and Taylor Swift, who were both performing. Taylor's well-written song was overshadowed by her being off-key. Kanye on the other hand gave a great performance but I am agitated they made everyone wait for him til the end. 

The only award I was really happy with was 30 Seconds To Mars winning best rock video, and Jared Leto was looking more than spiffy, he is still a top trending Twitter topic as I type.

Although I watched the full ceremony and will more than likely watch the awards next year, I was extremely underwhelmed and was reminded the whole night of why I don't listen to most of that stuff.

Today instead of a normal musical related post, we thought it would be best to not post today and instead ask you to remember those lost in the attack of 9/11. We will still have a photo of the day and normal posting will resume either tonight or tomorrow, but for now we just want you to take a moment and pay respects to all of those affected in the attack, and the events that have followed in the nine following years.
