Glee > the Beatles

So apparently, the cast of the hit musical television show now have more hit singles (75) on the Billboard 100 than the Beatles (71). In pop culture lingo, that makes Glee better than the Beatles, but still not as good as James Brown (91) or Elvis Presley (108), right?

 

WUT?!

You know what that means… IT’S GLEETLES TIME!

 

 

Oh Go(o)d, there’s a new Ocean City dude project

I know I’ll fall in love with the cute lyrics and easy-to-digest melodies of Sky Sailing until it’s overplayed to death by other people who are thinking the exact same thing. Yay.

What’s the most resilient parasite?

A Katy Perry song. Damn it.
