Whitney Houston R.I.P.

my heart is heavy today. i'm very SAD about the passing of Whitney Houston.  yet another light succumbed to the pitfalls of untreated addiction -- one helluva demon to wrestle with.  her struggle is over but her voice will go on.  much respect for her talent & big LOVE FOR WHITNEY herself for sharing it for as long as she was able, in spite of her trials & tribulations.  may she rest in peace...

LOVE WILL SAVE THE DAY ☆ MP3

BAD GIRLS MP3

my friend from Saturday Night Live got me in 30 Rock the night of the infamous Lana Del Rey performance.  i didn't even know she was the musical guest till i showed up.  i have to admit, i find her phenomena quite intriguing - like watching a train wreck in slow motion.  i actually enjoy two of her songs.  sadly, she couldn't have been more awkward & terribly out of tune; like she's trying to reach several different voices without ever really achieving that goal...  anyway, kudos to Kristen Wiig for her flawless impersonation, which actually defends the poor Lana:

finally, here's the most ridiculous spot i'm loving right now:
