Rihanna, clearly airbrushed
Some musicians write about love and others write about politics. Then there are those who write about things. As in stuff, trinkets, baubles, items, junk, bits… y’know, stuff.
Sarah tracked down a bunch of the best for the AOL Music Blog. Amongst them: Weezer, Rihanna, Toby Keith and Kanye West.

Kidz Bop 21 is free of ANYTHING that would scare your kids
There’s a thing called the Kidz Bop series and it’s a really big deal. Basically, producers get a bunch of next generation Disney kids together and they sing reworked versions of popular Top 40 radio hits with all the sex, drugs, violence, innuendo, negativity, religion, and any other potentially controversial language smoothed out of the songs and usually replaced with the words “dance” or “dance, yeah!”
Sarah spent an unnaturally long time listening to the kidz-ified versions of songs by LMFAO, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Rihanna and a pile of others on the recently released Kidz Bop 21. She then compared the kidz versions to the originals to find out how youth-friendly they’ve been made.

LMFAO
Contrary to popular belief, we aren’t entirely no-fun cynical haters of populist music. In fact, the Risky Fuel homestead welcomed the music of party rockers LMFAO into our household a few months back and it’s been a non-stop danceathon ever since.
Sarah, in particular, has been so smitten by the antics of the technicolor duo that she went to see the band perform recently at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Sarah found the brilliant spectacle to be pretty much the equivalent of watching the Teletubbies — except for adults. You can read more about this theory in the live review she wrote for the National Post by clicking here.

Sarah interviewed LMFAO, they of party rockin’ in the house fame, and asked them to explain their dance, “shuffling.”
We here at Risky Fuel think it’s important to stay on top of dance trends and so should you. As such, please go here and read the related AOL Music Blog story about this crazy new wave.
