Did I try to find inspiration and write about something interesting going on in the music industry, an awesome new band, or some useful music 2.0 technology? Not so much. Maybe write a snarky post bitching about something that annoys me just as a way of venting my frustration? I considered making a list of musicians that bug the crap out of me: <a title=\"Mariah Carey\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mariah_Carey\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">Mariah Carey<\/a>, <a title=\"Vanessa Carlton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vanessa_Carlton\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">Vanessa Carlton<\/a>, <a title=\"Sheryl Crow\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sheryl_crow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">Sheryl Crow<\/a>&#8230;but, na.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sufficiently pissed about anything in particular (you know those days where you&#8217;re just&#8230;blah) so rather than choosing a topic and ranting less-than-passionately, I decided to try and cheer myself up.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that often cheers me up is watching videos on YouTube. You know, like all those <a title=\"funniest cats\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SUNmLuNdiL8\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">funniest cats<\/a> and <a title=\"laughing baby\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5P6UU6m3cqk\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">laughing baby<\/a> videos. Not the most prudent use of one&#8217;s time to be sure, but rather effective. On that note, here are some silly music videos that always make me smile.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"OK Go\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/OK_Go\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">OK Go<\/a> &#8211; &#8220;Here It Goes Again&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pv5zWaTEVkI?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1&amp;theme=dark\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Liam Sullivan\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Liam_Kyle_Sullivan\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">Liam Sullivan<\/a> &#8211; &#8220;Shoes&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wCF3ywukQYA?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1&amp;theme=dark\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Feist\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leslie_Feist\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"xLink\">Feist<\/a> &#8211; 1 2 3 4<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jxjURaEX2-g?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1&amp;theme=dark\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in one of those seriously shitty moods today, but still wanted to write.
