The Beach Boys make a comeback … in 2012: New single “That’s Why God Made the Radio” sounds like it’d fit right in on the radio … in 1963. The voices sound a little age-worn, but the harmonies are still there. It’s not bad, a tad cheesy, but not exactly groundbreaking. Dear record company — if you want this to become a hit, send this one to the oldies stations, far away from the Lady Gagas of the world.
San Francisco’s mayor gets uh, diverse support: M.C. Hammer’s music isn’t exactly setting the charts ablaze anymore (he’s moved on to search engines), but it works well in political ads, apparently, as this bizarre concoction above proves. Ed Lee, the current mayor of the city, was appointed after Gavin Newsom took over as California’s lieutenant governor, but the tech-friendly Lee hopes to get a full term. So do all the folks in this clip, ranging from top brass at Google to Twitter co-founders to insane pitcher Brian Wilson to M.C. FREAKING HAMMER, donning the parachute pants again to offer his support to the mayor. Gotta give the funders of this ad (tech entrepreneurs Ron Conway and Justin Timberlake Sean Parker) credit — it’s 2 Legit 2 Quit. source
