PARDON ME while I jam to some Ace of Base ;)
I tried to come up with a video for today. I could've gone the Alicia Keys/Relient K/Kelly Clarkson route. But that was a bit MUCH. So here is some Jem & the Holograms (well, the show is actually called Jem), aka the best cartoon ever. It's from the 80's and it was the first cartoon to include "music videos" as part of the show. It began as a 5 episode series by the toy company Hasbro in order to promote their new line of dolls (which was competing with Barbie dolls at the time. This explains why there's so much pink in the show). It was so popular that it became a full series. OMG it's so good, and so is the music. And it's basically a must see. I have the first 2 seasons and some of season 3 on DVD hehe.
^Premise of this episode. Jem & the Holograms and The Misfits are rival bands. Kimber (girl with pink hair) is the keyboardist/lyricist from Jem & the Holograms. Stormer (blue hair) is the composer for The Misfits. Both feel unappreciated and go to some bar to cool off. They end up next to each other, and the crowd asks them to play together.
