• The Muppets Parody Naughty By Nature's 'Hip Hop Hooray,' Kermit the Frog Raps [WATCH]

    Sometimes the best musical moments are the ones that never actually happened. The Muppets never performed Naughty By Nature's 1993 anthem "Hip Hop Hooray," but thanks to Mylo the Cat's YouTube account, now they have ... sort of. The parody video features old footage from "The Muppet Show" and various Jim Henson movies where the scenes are manipulated to make it look like Kermit the Frog is rapping like Treach. Fozzie Bear also joins in on the fun. Beaker gives the introduction in the video below before Kermit and Fozzie start jamming in the car scene from 1979's "The Muppet Movie." The video is a ton of laughs for those who grew up during the 1990s when Naughty By Nature was huge and the Muppets were entering their third decade of entertaining. Check it out below, via "Billboard."

  • Concert Review: Hologram City in Hackensack, NJ, 6/14/14

    Continuing the long line of New Jersey basement venues with awesome names is Hologram City in Hackensack. Though most basement shows I've been to take place in the middle of quiet residential neighborhoods, complete with disgruntled neighbors who love calling the cops, Hologram City sits right at the corner of a busy intersection and even has its own (small) parking lot, which makes it a great location for a venue. The show I attended there last night was titled "Basement Maneuvers - An Electronic Evening," and as that name suggests, it was an evening of performances by electronic artists. Though I've been to plenty of shows featuring electronic artists, and have even played with some myself, I'd never been to an entirely electronic show before, so the atmosphere and flow of the evening was very new to me.
