I am an absolute sucker for some bubblegum pop. And here's a terrific example of the genre: Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea." That drumbeat is killer, and the lyrics are saccharine and sweet. The music video is quote precious, too, with Tommy singing to some lucky fan who knows every single word. Enjoy!

Man Trapped In Airport Alone Decides To Film Music Video
All by myself from Richard Dunn on Vimeo.
Having just flown internationally, I know all about long layovers and how terrible they are. Though while I usually spend mine trying to get some shuteye, or perhaps writing or reading a book, Richard Dunn has a different idea: make a music video.
Stuck in Las Vegas's McCarran Airport with pretty much nothing to do and very few people around, Dunn shot an entire music video set to Celine Dion's cover of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself." He used moving walkways to get some cool dolly scenes, and even recreated a shot from Flashdance. Great way to spend a few hours.
Even better? Celine Dion saw the video and loved it. She invited Dunn to come hang out with her next time, or at least to use her bathroom.

Pentatonix And The Evolution of Music
Those beat-boxin, a cappella-in' kids from Pentatonix are at it again. This time they've done an Evolution of Music, jumping from the 11th century all the way up to present day. While a few of these songs are terrible and make me disgusted with how bad pop music can be, at least they sound okay when they're only voices and last for about 5-8 seconds. So that's cool. Otherwise, give it a listen!
