MUSIC NEWS:

Wow. I got so wrapped up in the R. Kelly Friday Dance Party yesterday that I forgot to let you guys know that we posted a new video on MBTV! Yeah, we totally posted a new video and it’s only been like two months since the last one. I know! And we’ve already filmed two others that we just have to edit together. See… I told you that we were getting real up in here!

Anywho, this new MBTV feature is about guilty pleasures. Everyone has a list of songs or bands that they secretly love and only enjoy when they can be sure they are alone. But because everyone has them Aaron and Brian argue that you should embrace those guilty pleasures. Sing Ace of Base loud. Dance your ass off to Vanilla Ice. Embrace the things that you enjoy even if they are a little embarrassing. And to help you feel comfortable with your own guilty pleasures, Aaron and Brian share their guilty pleasures for the whole world to see.

When I sat down and started thinking about what to run for this week’s bout I realized it has been awhile since we’ve had a bout with some kick-ass 80’s arena rock. So, naturally, I decided to but together a video bout of two 80’s arena rock bands. And when I thought about which videos we should feature I immediately thought of these two videos. I fucking love these videos. They are perfect 80’s videos. Perfect! That fuckin’ air keyboard shit at the beginning of the Journey video? There is nothing in life better than watching that shit.

So yeah, enjoy this week’s bout featuring Journey’s “Separate Ways” versus Toto’s “Africa.”

Last week’s winner, Interpol, has been sent to the winner’s circle.
