As much as I love Skrillex, I'm still not sure why an American artist like him is on UKF. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm sure it stood for 'UK's Finest'? Still loving that remix though, and on the subject of sexy remixes, I'm also quite enjoying this at the moment:

:wub:I also never realised UKFDubstep is the third most subscribed YouTube channel of all time :oEDIT: I'm kind of into dubstep, but this Skrillex/ Nero impersonation had me in stitches :(

Pre-Warning: Video contains some darkly comedic slapstick SFX.

Pop is rarely this fun anymore. Everything is so squeaky-cleanly produced and far too easily digestible and commercialised these days. There really are no risks because risks don't bring in immediate returns for record labels. They'd rather satisfy their bellies with someone who can sell records like X artist rather than try to be something new that takes a while to catch on.Admittedly, it took me a while to 'get' this song, Alex Day's 'Forever Yours', because at first I was baffled by it and thereby couldn't really understand what it was for. But I then realised, what if it's got no secondary intention? What if this song merely exists because of those serendipitous moment of unbridled nostalgia that we all have but find so hard to express?The video may be made on the budget of about five quid and is riddled with often hard-to-swallow goof-ball humour, but the simplicity of is part of the charm I guess. Someone made me realise recently that I often take things too seriously, and in doing so compromise my enjoyment of music and other forms of entertainment because I'm so critical, having to find justification for liking anything and undermining the very intention of such outlets of unabashed fun. I doubt this song will serve as some kind of epiphany for me, what with it being an obvious novelty that'll soon wear off, but I just thought I'd share it with you all.PS: For those chart music-orientated members who like this, Alex Day is a YouTube phenomenon who's recently received a lot of recognition for this song, causing it to chart at a combined position of #2 in the UK iTunes chart thus far.
