At andPOP we spend a lot of our time thinking about deep philosophical questions. What’s the meaning of life? If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around, does it make a sound? If your Birthday falls on Valentine’s Day does that mean you get double Birthday Sex? Well the last question we found an answer from Jeremih, who is the expert on Birthday Sex. And good for Jenn as her Birthday is on Valentine’s Day. Watch to find out more.

andPOP and the good people at Jean Machine (shop.jeanmachine.com) want to give away some amazing prizes. You have a chance to win the following awesome give aways:

1. A JeanMachine.com shopping spree worth $300.

So there we are having a nice conversation with the boys from Parachute about their recent success and their debut album Losing Sleep, and guess who crashes the party? Chris Rochon from andPOP Radio decides to sneak up on us and take over the interview. Nevertheless we had a good chat with the Parachute boys about music, being on the road, picking up women, and the TV show Friends.

We just love this man so much that we needed to post his latest video. Check out Lil Jon’s newest video “Give It All U Got” from his newest album Crunk Rock.

“Though this track is clearly geared towards the clubs – like much of Jon’s repertoire – the beat veers closer to the current electro-pop trend than the Southern crunk that he brought to the mainstream (Billboard)”
