Have you ever thrown a cocktail party and wondered what drink to serve based on the music that you’re listening to?

The question was asked: “What band can you really, REALLY not stand?”
You know, those artists who – at the very drop of the first note from any of the songs – just make you want to dive for the clicker/keyboard/volume control and just turn that crap off?
For instance, Web Watch can’t stand listening to the Rolling Stones. Sure, we appreciate what they’ve done in the history of rock. We get the whole Mick Jagger, Keith Richards thing. But after a year spent with a roommate who’s ONLY consideration for music was the Stones’ discography, we grew quickly tired of hearing All Stones, All The Time and since then have lost all interest in what the Stone have ever done.

Saturday (A Parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”) – Single
It’s Friday, Friday – Gotta get down it’s Friday!
Here are some FRIDAY mashups you may not have heard yet. And while you’re listening to this songs, why not pop over to BENNI CINKLE’s website “THAT GIRL IN PINK” and say “hi”. Be nice to her – she’s written a book on cyber-bullying that all parents should know about.
Who’s Benni Cinkle? She’s the girl dressed in pink in Rebecca Black’s FRIDAY video. Yeah, the one who’s dancing. Gotta give her credit for making something out of what was probably just a “hey, this sounds like fun thing to do”. Good for her.
Crappy Friday

If you’ve been wondering what Web Watch’s next tweet would be, we can tell you that — at the time of this writing — it was most likely going to be something like one of the following:
How did we know?

Pufnstuf & Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid & Marty Krofft
Web Watch is a huge Sid & Marty Krofft fan.
From Sigmund and the Sea Monsters to H.R. Pufnstuf, to even their later efforts like D.C. Follies, Sid & Marty Krofft were always ahead of the curve in coming up with things that will appeal to kids (yet still have a little subversiveness to help draw in the parents).
We highly recommend the PUFNSTUF & OTHER STUFF book for a history of what the Kroffts have done, although more intellectual minds may want to take a gander at Sid and Marty Krofft: A Critical Study of Saturday Morning Childrens Television.

This week, it was reported that JUSTIN BIEBER USES THE NAME “CHANDLER BING” when he checks into hotels during his travels.
This got Web Watch wondering what other CELEBRITY ALIAS / PSEUDONYMs we could dig up along the way, in case you were going to check out the Four Seasons, St Regis, or Ritz Carlton to stalk your favorite stars.

If you’re a fan of JUSTIN BIEBER (and these days, who isn’t?), then one of the more popular things that his fans like to do is DRESS LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER.

Justin’s look all has to do with dressing simply and with the occasional splash of color. Some of Justin’s outfits have consisted of:

Web Watch knows that our Web Watch readers have tons of embarrassing photos of themselves from when they were younger and lacked any sort of fashion sense or humility.
Didn’t everyone have that plaid pants/white belt combo? Yeah, thought so… we think it was required dress code for the under-8 set.
But think about your parents, trying to save a buck or two by doing basic haircuts at home instead of taking the kids to Supercuts or Great Clips or the local mall salon that charges you $20 just to ask the receptionist a question.
