Pop Culture in Blogs

I was looking at five different blog posts from my friends' blogs and I couldn't help but notice the strong influence of pop music. Three of the five posts had to do with pop music, and two had to do with Lady GaGa's new song,  "Yoü And I".

These are both having to do with Lady GaGa, and "Yoü And I". Although it's not what I'd choose to listen to, I think "Yoü And I" is one of the better GaGa songs.

Chloe's post is about a song called "Nothing But Flowers" by the Talking Heads. The song is a bit of an oldie, and has a very cool beat in the background.

Nia's post consists of two new songs, "We Found Love" by Rihanna and "Criminal" by Britney Spears. I've heard a bit of "We Found Love" and, frankly, I don't want to listen to any of it. Pop nowadays is so repetitive, and while some repeating parts are good, when the same tunes and styles go across a whole genre, it gets old.

The last post is about the band Ok Go, specifically the song "This Too Shall Pass" where they use a Rube Goldberg like machine.
