Does everyone remember O-Town? They were the band that was created on a reality show and we all thought that their name meant Orgasm Town but it was actually because they were from Orlando? O-Town was the boy band that existed to make other boy bands look tough and dangerous by comparison.
All or Nothing is a typical boy band song and this is a typical boy band video. The song is about the lead singer of O-Town realizing that his girlfriend is still hung up on Justin Timberlake. He sings that he can tell by the distant look in her eyes and he just doesn’t think they can be together as long as she’s dreaming about Justin. He wants it all or he’ll settle for nothing. There’s no such thing as a compromise when you’re from the O.
This music video is a really a product of a world that doesn’t exist any more. Vitamin C is now an executive at Netflix and there’s only Sam Goody store left. It’s in a mall up in Oregon. I’m depressed now. This music video did not make me smile.
I think they were singing this song to Geri Halliwell, which was sweet.
In this video, shot after Geri left the group, the four remaining Spice Girls sing words of encouragement while each pretends to be a different element.
The year was 2001 and *NSYNC was sick of being dismissed as just being another pop boy band. So, Justin Timberlake and Wade Robson wrote a song satirizing the band’s image and trying to show that they were everything but “pop.” Of course, they called the song Pop. And then they went on a tour called PopOdyssey.
One of my fondest memories of growing up with Lisa Marie is all of the time that we would spend singing Britney Spears’s song whenever we went on a road trip. We would sing at the top of our lungs and, if we got bored with that, we would start singing with exaggerated country accents. There was nothing more fun than singing off-key and off-pitch, though I guess maybe the other people in the car with us would have disagreed.
I think My Prerogative is the only Britney music video that hasn’t been a music video of the day yet. This music video also features Kevin Federline. Remember him? Where did he go? He just disappeared one day. Hope he’s okay.
Lisa asked me to pick a music video for today and I was so excited that I yelled, “Backstreet Boys!”
Who was your favorite Backstreet Boy? I liked Nick!
Trivia about this video? AJ McClean didn’t know the lyrics for the song until he showed up for the video shoot. That tells you everything you need to know about the Lou Pearlman boy band era.
“Information High,” by Yoko Kanno for Macross Plus, is a track that’s as electrifying as it is fitting for the anime’s sleek, futuristic vibe. From the moment it kicks in, you get caught up in its propulsive beat and layered electronic sounds that perfectly capture the sense of speed and technological buzz that define the series. It doesn’t just sit in the background but actively drives the energy forward, mirroring the fast-paced aerial dogfights and the intense emotions swirling underneath the sci-fi setting. There’s a hypnotic quality to it — like the perfect soundtrack for a world where human experience and digital overload collide.
What really strikes about “Information High” is how it balances mechanical precision with a playful, almost funky undertone. It’s not simply cold or robotic; Kanno brings in just enough warmth and groove to humanize the electronic pulse, making the song feel alive and vibrant rather than sterile. This duality works beautifully with Macross Plus’s themes—characters caught between their human desires and the artificial worlds they navigate. The track feels like a bridge between those realities, capturing both the exhilaration and the subtle unease of living in an over-connected, data-saturated future.
Beyond its role as a background piece, “Information High” stands on its own as a distinctive expression of Kanno’s genius. It’s got that catchy, infectious energy that sticks with you, yet never feels repetitive or shallow. It’s clear that Kanno tailored this song to complement not just the visuals but the emotional currents of the show, subtly enhancing moments without overpowering them. For anyone familiar with Kanno’s work, this track is a perfect example of her skill in blending genres and moods into a cohesive whole that elevates the experience of the anime itself.
