This girl just destroyed Nicki Minaj
A singing angel! They exist!
A colleague showed me this song during work. It is the kind of thing you listen to and just feel happy because her smile is crazy. And that's coming from me, so you know its something. And on another happy note it features a ukulele!

hipnabbes!
I surf Youtube a lot to get my music jollies, and there is one class of people on it that irks me to no end. They are the music hipnabbes. The reason why I call them music "hippabbes" is, they think they are hip for liking less well known music but they are really just wannabes, but they don't deserve either title because they are beneath both and have huge insecurity issues so I give them a ridiculous name that sounds like shit and means nothing.
These are the people who go to less well known videos of indie bands and say stuff like "Why doesn't this have more views!" or "What happened to the music tastes of people nowadays!" and other random jibberjabble like that.
What they don't get is this
1) If everyone liked the same songs you did, you would stop liking it because it would then be mainstream and it would suck (according to you anyway)
2) On top of that, you would accuse the band of selling out, when all it did was become popular
3) Everyone likes different music. Great, I understand that the lyrics mean a lot to you, that its like the story of your life, but most people like mainstream stuff because it is better marketed. Not everyone likes to cut themselves up like you do, or has two fathers and three mothers, or other random shit that drives you to seek cathartic release from these bands that sometimes honestly produce noise they try to pass off as music. Obviously less people buy it than you hope. And there are some that inevitably do because they have rubbish taste in music, or as the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison.
4) The world does not suck because people like Rihanna, or because no one likes John Lennon. John Lennon has been dead some 40 years, and Rihanna has a great butt. She has too many tatts and Chris Brown decided to literally hit that, but I would still take great butt over 40 year old dead butt any day.
5) The reason why so many people like your damn comments is because you are preaching to the converted. And getting an ego feed from gaining acceptance from the converted. Thanks, but that's just sad, because your audience is just as small as ever. Really, the people you should try converting are those fawning and swooning on Justin Bieber videos. Whoops, turns out they are even more hardcore than you, and they would bash your already fragile ego to the size of a pea. Which is why you avoid them really, because you can't face the truth. The truth that no matter what you do, there are a hundred Bieber fans for every one of you.
It is times like these that I remind myself I'm all about the music.
