The amount of times my best friend and I karaoke-ed Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" in 2001 is enough to keep us single for the rest of time. SO, I won't tell you. But I will tell you just how excited I am that Michelle Branch is making a comeback.

Michelle's new song, "Loud Music," is a perfect hybrid between the folkie Michelle Branch we've come to love and the more mature, rocker Michelle that we think is dying to break through. The song comes with a spankin' new video that features two story lines, both of which include really cute music boys.

The first plotline shows Michelle kicking it road-trip style with her friends/band. They're traveling cross country in a run-down van (though in real life it's probably more like a pimped-out tour bus) stopping along the way for beers, snacks and plenty of bathroom breaks just long enough for Michelle to frolic in an open field while wearing a huge hat, obvs.

In the secondary plotline, Michelle meets and falls in love with a sexy blond rocker dude who "got her" at "cool T-shirt babe." (That'd probably get us too, so don't be so hard on yourself, Mich). In addition to some eye gazing and shoulder leaning, we see the rocker dude give Michelle a necklace right before a hot (yet gratuitous) bedroom scene. PG-13 eyes only. And though the two story lines don't ever really converge, "Loud Music" concludes with a rowdy pool party, which is really all the closure we'd ever need anyway.

Michelle Branch has a new video out! Yay! But it's essentially a car commercial. Ehh? It's OK though. Because we've missed Michelle Branch! We've been belting "Everywhere" since, well, since it came out nine years ago. Because it was just THAT good, and it still is. We know she's done stuff since then, like Hotel Paper, and those spots on "Buffy" and "One Tree Hill," and that shift to country with The Wreckers. And she got married and had a baby. But we missed like the original Michelle Branch, you know?

So, sure, "Getaway," is essentially a music-backed vehicle for the new MINI Countryman car that's coming out in 2011. And since "Getaway" is produced by Timbaland, it's got all of his signature "blicka-blickas," though they're more subdued than usual. And true, the video is pretty adult-contemporary (which is why it feels a leeeeettle bit John Mayer-y). And of course, Timbaland makes his patented pretend-freaked-out faces, which he always does in every video. But, like Lisa Loeb, slicked-up videos were never really Michelle Branch's thing. We're just glad to see her behind a guitar again.

We immediately noticed three things about Simple Plan's new video, "Your Love Is A Lie."

1.) Pierre's girlfriend blows! And her hair needs a deep conditioning.

2.) Holy Auto-Tune! Let's go ahead and assume (read: hope) that was a style choice.

3.) This most un-Simple Plan song is totally the male version of Michelle Branch's "Are You Happy Now?" Yes, that Michelle Branch and that song, while the "do you think about me when he f---s you?" line (in the uncensored version) is Alanis revisited.

Thoughts, Simple Plan fans?
