"Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz and Ludacris may not be the most romantic song in the world - it's about a player warning a girl about dating him because he's only going to, you guessed it, break her heart - but it certainly sounds like one of the best songs we've heard in a while.
When you're in a band it's important to sound in tune with the rest of your band and to compliment your bandmates rather than stand out too much. And while for the most part that's true, if you're the lead guitarist then there will frequently be times where you'll be spotlighted to play a jammin' guitar riff.

In this video, we learn how to use Japanese expressions for "lazy". This is difficult to translate for most people, because of how it's expressed and said. Mendo-Kusai is expressing something you don't feel like doing. This is something that takes too much effort, and you can take this to someone casually or with your friends. An example is if you don't feel like doing your homework, or you don't want to walk all the way around a grocery store. This basically means you are being lazy and don'...

Yeah, we know the title of this video sounds confusing (dichroic what?), but a tri-strand necklace with a dichroic glass pendant is simply a fancy term for a necklace composed of three strands with a glass pendant hanging from the bottom.
Bass players definitely don't get as much love as guitar players when it comes to glory and mainstream music popularity. After all, the base is the low-sounding, harmonizing complement to the lead guitar's riffs, offering a nice contrast but getting obscured in the process.
Pompadours sound kind of, well, pompous, and look rather prosh. With a literal "I'm above you" upward beehive bump that towers over your own head and others, a pompadour is a hairstyle with 'tude, and while before people that it was too ostentatious to wear, starlets like Jennifer Lopez and Rachel McAdams have worn the style on the red carpet to much acclaim (and copycats).

Then, put your hand over it and play the jack in the box song. The next trick is to give the illusion you are tuning your guitar in the middle of a song. You will cover your fingers with your forearm to give the appearance and play with your other hand to make it look like it's being tuned. The last tr...
Finger curls probably don't sound familiar to you, but we can bet you've seen them before. Think Marilyn Monroe's tightly curled hairdo, Gwen Stefani's tight waves in her cameo for "The Aviator," or Rachel McAdams' curls at one of the "Sherlock Holmes" premieres.
Victory rolls may not sound like a familiar term these days because almost no one does them anymore. But you'd sure recognize them if we showed you some photos from the 1940s and 1950's: Actresses like Rita Hayworth and Katherine Hepburn loved wearing them, and as they did so did the rest of the nation who looked to them for beauty inspiration.
If you want to scare the living daylights out of your friend, check out this next prank tutorial. In the video, you'll find out how to perform the fake car crash prank. It involved using some big speakers and a soundtrack of a car screeching to a halt.
The circle of fifths sounds like some sort of "Lord of The Rings" council of high elves, but all this term really denotes is how major and minor scales are connected on the piano (a lot more boring than the high elf stuff, we know).

After this, continue to tighten the string depending on what you want the sound to come out as. Continue to do this for all of the strings...
This is what we'd call a hybrid craft if we've ever seen one. Using a rubber stamp on a cake does sound kind of strange (they usually go on paper, right?), but as long as these stamps are new and unused, they actually function really great for decorating on fondant.
Some may think it's impossible, but it could be… tethering your Motorola Droid X to your Mac OS X computer without paying for Verizon's expensive Mobile Hotspot, without rooting the Droid X, and without installing any additional Android applications. It does sound impossible, but for some, it may not be.
In this video, we learn how to install a hood strut kit on a Mustang. Start by opening up the hood and removing the sound tube locator.

Next, install the body bracket with a socket and remove all bolts around the spot its in. After you install the bracket replace the bolts and do both of these steps again on the other side of the car. When you are done, make sure all parts are re...
Without snazzy, "yes I am showing off but doesn't it rock?" guitar licks, rock and pop songs would be boring, monotonous pieces with no build up, climax, and falling action (sorry to sound so much like we're describing how to write an essay).
DJs exist because just playing the same songs from beginning to end over and over again gets boring, especially in a clubbing atmosphere where all people want to do is get down and dirty.
