The Artifacts of Modernity Internet Museum presents its own “OMG Adorbz! of the Day”…
If only elementary school music class was always this indie chic.
P.S. We would also like to congratulate this video on its racial diversity and its embracing of other cultures via the French band Phoenix.

The Suffering Ends Today, The Hope Begins Now
Today begins a new day, a new chapter, a new time for hope.

The storm is passing over, the sun shines its warmth on us again.

The dark days of despair were cold and tiresome, but no longer, no longer.

Let the birds sing, let the children laugh! Unbolt your shutters, open your windows, let each and every one of us cry out together, Hallelujah!

Freedom has always been on the horizon, liberty has always been on our fingertips, love has always remained right across the border… but today, they all arrive.

“Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, we are free at last”.

The Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum presents a new exhibit:
The Sounds of Postmodernism
…a pseudo-analytical exploration of the sounds and styles of auditory ability that have transformed this current era. Furthermore, history could quite possibly prove this collection of sound clips to be ultimately paving the path to society’s tomorrow.
The sounds featured in this specific sound clip are progressive, dynamic and hollow. The production feels intrinsically European electro-trash, the style channels infinity and ever-expansiveness. The grand reverberation and echo effects seem to call upon the ideas of vastness, space, and outer space itself. The mood is somewhat dark, numb, nearly robotic in its expression of color, oh such descriptive color, as the Muse proclaims in great fervor, “Blue are the feelings that live inside me.”
This unashamed wannabe is terrorising the talent scouts of LA with her chav [slang for chauvinistic? I hope so] pop. Meet the degenerate Hannah Montana, Ke$ha. There’s a pretty obvious clue right there in her name– her MySpace URL is myspace.com/keshaishot, under “sounds like” on her site she’s written simply “God having an orgasm”… Her music is like an über US version of “chav pop” – trailer trashy to the max – only it’s so full-on it’s almost like some postmodern arthouse joke. “She reminds me of girls I run into on Friday nights, full of bravado and cheap beer, throwing signs like damn fools,” wrote one blogger. “I have no doubt that she will do very well.

Musical Musings from Ms. Heidi Montag (Lyrics)
Listen above, scorn below.
Lyrics to Heidi Montag’s “Superficial” - (song posted above)
They say Im superficial
Some call me a bitch
They just mad cause
Im sexy, famous and Im rich
I rock the latest fashions
And I set the latest trends
Girls say Im conceited
Cause they really wanna be me
Im addicted to the glitzs and glamour
Maybe I need betty ford
A rehab for my shopping habit
If I see it, gotta have it
Cause daddy never says no
Mama get what she wants
I keep it new, new
Like Im supposed to yeah
And I dont care,
That I keep pissing people off
Ima let em talk
I dont give a damn what they say
It isnt fair
That I wear diamonds for breakfast
And I know this isnt helping

And as culture slowly slips away, so does her bikini.
