Isn’t it funny how you can get totally into The Olympics yet have no interest in sports whatsoever? Knowing you don’t really care at all, you still have this intense need to watch the Long Jump. Seriously - I’m watching rowing right now. Rowing. What’s that all about? I call it being Olympnotized. To kick off this year’s world-wide Olympnosis, I was planning on giving you all a run-down of past Olympic theme songs.
Sadly, the New York Times beat me to it .
So, if you’re interested in decades of Olympic cheese, go check it out. Since all eyes are on China right now, I decided instead to have a look at Chinese pop culture and see what those crazy kids are listening to over there. I found this chart on yesasia - it’s a couple of weeks old, but it’s the best I could do in a language I can actually read. So, let’s have a look at the top 5 …

Backtrack: B-sidesFrom: onehundredb.com

I’m a bit of a sucker for b-sides. Sometimes there’s a reason songs were left to be b-sides, but sometimes they’re a great opportunity to hear a band you love do something they might never do otherwise.

Not too long ago the Macarena came up in a recent post and the subject of dance fads brought along the Soulja Boy Dance craze that’s been sweeping the world lately.

The Raveonettes’ third full-length album, Lust Lust Lust, came out last week and DAMN, it’s good. I love how the Raveonettes just go about their business and quietly get better and better. Their sweetly smutty 50s surfer motorcycle gang fuzz gets more sophisticated and more endearing with each release. There’s no doubt that they’re one of the best indie bands around and we love them dearly. Get the new album at emusic (as well as the first single, “Dea...

The days are shorter, the air is crisp and cool, reindeer and mangers are popping up like mushrooms, and the magical smell of spray-on snow is in the air. Oh yes, the Holidays are upon us, which means it’s time for 100bells! The place where we post our favorite songs that celebrate the birth of Santa. So dust off the old Christmas records, gather around the fire and let’s have ourselves a good old fashion sing-a-long. To get us started here’s Twisted Sister with their v...
