This 12 year was signed to Interscope based on his youtube cover of Lady Gaga. Kevin Garnett was right. Anything is possible.

The Grammy Follow Up

Keep it simple in post, but interesting in performance.

These were my two favorite Grammy performances:

Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake and Travis Barker. I won’t hold my breath waiting for a full length album of collaborations.

Pink really shined with a voice I never knew she had and an outfit, if you can call it one, that not too many can pull off (not literally).

Jimi Found A Warp Zone!

Due out March 9th, “Valleys of Neptune” will be a real treat for music lovers and Jimi Hendrix fanatics. I fall somewhere between those two. The album has one shy of a baker’s dozen (that’s still just twelve for those of you confused) and is a “snapshot into part of Jimi’s life that has rarely been heard” (according to THIS article from spinner.com)

Preview the track HERE

For those of you who “get” the subject line, here is an extra treat…

This Is Just…

Well, I suppose this would fit under the category of “enjoying life”. It’s funny. and not just because I say so.

the iPad

iWant.

That is what apple is banking on.

So thin. So light.

I am not talking about Laura Flynn Boyle

A new way of experiencing the interactive world is finally here. Rumored to be called the iSlate, and the Itablet, the iPad (it’s correct name) has finally arrived. Well, if you order one it is not going to arrive until March.

It’s a larger iTouch, or a larger iPhone, without the phone, or a small computer, or..what exactly is it? It’s new. It’s cool’ It’s innovative. It’s unnecessary, but it’s revolutionary. I don’t need it, but I want it.

you probably will too.

It’s crushed red pepper. Love and Logic took things into their own hands and came up with a great video for the Adam Lambert song, ‘What Do You Want From Me”

This is what I want from you:

Go to their facebook page and become a fan (click that link) and then go and watch the video, tell your friends and watch it again while sharing on all your favorite social networks. It’s gotten over 60k views and is up to be on MTV-U, so help these guys out.

The video is below, but make sure to WATCH it HERE

OK POST

Below you will find the official video for OK Go’s “This Too Shall Pass”

For those of you who might not know the phrase, “This Too Shall Pass”, it appears in a few different instances: Some would cite King Solomon, others Abe Lincoln. As for myself I will cite, the author of ‘The Know-It-All: One Mans Quest to Become the Smartest Person In The World’, A.J. Jacobs. He talks about it in said book. I recommend it. Buy it or borrow it.

The video is off of the New Album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky”. The video was filmed live and features the Notre Dame marching band. Directed by Brian L. Perkins and OK Go. You can get it at iTunes http://bit.ly/okgootbcots

or just watch it right here

and OK GO released an open letter – worth reading HERE – They talk about how you cannot embed the video on blogs and the issues they face as a band dealing with a viral campaign.

Morph and Warp

chrisgraham — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:06:09 +0000

Most of the time I am posting useful tips on music, living and travel, but I wanted to share an interesting email that I received this morning about how I might need to warp my photos…specifically the example they give is a child into a cat.

Although the service could be useful in some instances and I understand the product, I am going to vote against their marketing. The site also references a women into a lion. There are some other humorous examples as well, check it out for yourself.

Some useful information later…I promise
